I'm doing 37 things
I try not to hang a coat on gossip but when you hear stuff like he’s the inspiration for the title character of “Swimming With Sharks”, that he has gone through hundreds of assistants, has supposeldy kicked his assistant out of the car on the highway for … who knows what. Unless he or she was trying to garot him I can’t think of a decent excuse.
Other than testifying to his taste and undoubted talent as a producer, the most complimentary stuff I’ve read has been from other Tinseltown big wigs who admit that when he throws it down in the boardroom it’s for the good of the project and not for personal glorification.
Sounds like he get all his personal glorification kicks out of abusing and humiliating those he has power over. A mark of character is how we treat those we presume to have power over.
Sooo, might as well content myself to siting this one out till I write something so fantastice the big man himself decides he wants to meet me. :-)
