: Odd. So let me ask you this: I seem to remember that Seomin (I know I'm
childish but that name still makes me giggle) mentioned the amount that
Miramax was donating to you and that you said something like your pockets
weren't as deep as Weinstein's. Did he say that GLAAD was ASKING for
$100,000? That makes sense to me. Otherwise it's just completely
unethical of them to imply that the Weinsteins were giving up the cash.
No - he said they were going to ask the Weinsteins for TWO hundred grand
(and they eventually did).
: Anyway...I maintain the MSF is a great cause and no one should feel badly
about having given them money.
I don't. It was money well-spent. Went to a worthy cause, brought light
to and called into question GLAAD's strong-arming ethics, and bought us a
bunch of free press two weeks before the movie came out. Granted, it was
press I could've done without, but it was press nonetheless.
: If you felt forced into it I'm sorry, but it WAS your idea. Blame it on
hetwhitmo* guilt.
You hear me complaining? The only beef I had was when Scott continued to
paint me as homophobic, even after the donation and our initial
conversation. But that's all water under the bridge now.
