Terror In The Middle Of Nowhere

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] An actress told her parents this disturbing story about a very famous director and a very famous producer.

There were several people riding in a limousine to a film event. The producer and the director were talking. An assistant interrupted them with an urgent business matter.

The producer was so irate about the interruption that he instructed the limo driver to pull over, and then kicked the assistant out of the car.

They were on a road in the middle of nowhere. In a snowstorm. Sub-zero temperatures.

One woman protested, “But he’ll freeze to death!”

The producer shrugged and responded, “I’m sure somebody will come along and pick him up,” and ordered the limo driver to keep going.

The director, who has worked with the producer many times, did nothing.

Perhaps the director just needed some time to process his own feelings about the situation? After all, that seems to be his excuse for pretending to be on another planet and not noticing or intervening when the producer would terrorize employees.

[Optional] Why do you think the director allowed this to happen?

SOLVED!

Producer: Harvey Weinstein

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino have been best buddies for a long time. They’ve worked together on multiple films, including Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained.

Our blind item story occurred in a limousine in Utah in approximately 2013. The story comes from an actress who was actually in the car with the two men and was appalled by their behavior.

Yes, both Weinstein and Tarantino behaved badly.

While Harvey Weinstein is already known to be a despicable character, it is interesting that Quentin Tarantino never stood up to him.

After the entire #MeToo ball got rolling, Tarantino finally did admit that “he had known for decades about Weinstein’s alleged misconduct toward women.”

Yet Tarantino did nothing.

Quentin Tarantino has a young bride and a baby on the way. We hope he will treat them with more dignity than he did the assistant… as well as the many, many women abused by Weinstein.

Tarantino directed a film called Planet Terror, so we included the words “planet” and “terrorize” as clues.

Congratulations to Lovefifteen for being first with the correct response!

    Like always, i’ll be one of those people who say things that will not be liked. It wasn’t right to him to just sit there and see that kind of abuse and not doing anything. Ask yourself this, what would you do if you were in their position? Would you go off on that producer? No, most of you will not do much. Personally, i would try and talk to the producer and explain to him what he just did and if he doesn’t do anything then i’ll let it go. I won’t sarifice myself for someone i don’t know.

  2. LC1216 says

    Producer: Jerry Bruckheimer

    Director: Michael Bay

    Why do you think the director allowed this to happen? Because the Director is just as big of an a–hole as the Producer.

  5. firefly nights says

    This behavior is unacceptable and wildly inappropriate. Don’t know who they are but people need to start taking employee abuse as seriously as they do domestic abuse. Unbelievable

  7. research boy says

    Producer: Harvey Weinstein, the “gift” that keeps on giving.

    Director: Robert Rodriguez

    Clues: “Planet” and “terrorize”, keying “Planet Terror”, the movie that Rose McGowan talked about RR selling to HW in spite of Harvey’s raping her.

    Why didn’t Rodriguez speak up?: Part fear, part greed, part not giving a damn.

  8. kennyggallin says

    Producer: Weinstein

    Director: Tarantino

    Why do you think the director allowed this to happen? Fear, Weinstein has more pull in Hollywood than Tarantino. Also maybe Weinstein has dirt on Tarantino? Or maybe Tarantino just dgaf.

  10. KateArms says

    Producer: Weinstein

    Director: Robert Rodriguez

    Terror. Planet.

    Perhaps Weiner’s got dirt on Roberto probably. Or they arent that different.

  11. runaway says

    Weinstein and Rodrigues. Rodrigues sold Planet Terror and Grindhouse to Weinstein and was oblivious to his pig ways even though his then GF Rose McGowan was assaulted by Weinstein.

  12. rhiannon14 says

    Producer: Harvey Weinstein
    Director: Quentin Tarantino

    This week Tarantino said in his public statement re: HW’s actions that he “needed a few more days to process”.

  13. mona lisas and mad hatters says

    Harvey Weinstein
    Robert Rodriguez

    Why? Cuz he was weak and kowtowing to HW. Pathetic.

    Throwing someone out of a car in bitter cold in the middle of nowhere is Endangering Life. Not a harmless prank. Frostbite is serious- people lose fingers, toes, and can die from cold. It doesn’t take long if you’re not dressed for it. I sure hope someone had the courage to call for help on his behalf.

    Evil power mad lunatic.

    Keep shaming them all!! Drain the swamp!!

  14. AtomicQueen says

    Producer: Harvey Weinstein? Or Maybe his brother, Bob

    Director: David Fincher?

    If there’s a clue I’m missing it, surely :/

    • sweetpeach says

      P.S. Sad that someone so in love with film will forever have an awful black footnote on their career. But it will be deserved for your cowardice.

  23. spaceship says

    That is horrible! People need to realize that their evil deeds will come back to them in return someday.

  25. satrapiz says

    Tarantino and Weinstein.

    Major clue is the director needing time to process his thoughts. That’s the exact message T said in response to the scandal

    Why did Weinstein do it? Because he is a rapid sociopath. Their kind don’t belong with the rest of us.

  26. wildaz says

    Producer: Harvey Weinstein

    Director: Quentin Tarantino

    Why did director allow this to happen. Because HW had QT’s balls in a bag of money. Apparently keeping your mouth shut when HW abuses people isn’t isolated to aspiring actresses.

  27. Insiderher says

    Gotta be Quentin Tarantino-who worked multiple times for HW, and part of his comment was that he had to process his feelings.
    Why did he let Weinstein get away with it? Didn’t want to seem ‘weak’ in front of HW. But who was the poor guy they left stranded?

  28. ProfessorJay says

    Tarantino and Weinstein. I wonder if this was inspiration for a scene from Django Unchanged.

  32. Conchord says

    Producer: Harvey Weinstein
    Director: Quentin Tarantino

    My guess as to why he allowed it to happen: Weinstein has given him total creative freedom for his films, so he probably feels a strong sense of loyalty to him.

  35. axlelei11 says

    producer: Harvey Weinstein
    director: Tarantino
    I think he allowed to happen because deep down he is a sadist… the violence in his movies says it all.

  37. sweetisally says

    Producer: Harvey Weinstein

    Director: Robert Rodriguez

    Clues: “another planet” Robert directed “Planet Terror”

  38. KCeagle says

    Harvey W.

    Oliver Stone ?
    Woody Allen ?

    They probably didn’t intervene because they both reportedly have scandalous issues of their own. They also didn’t want to anger Harvey is well known to have an explosive temper.

    As with Bjork, Terry Crews and the multitudes coming forward with a different horror story of sexual harassment everyday, this will send a chill through the corporate world that their will be repercussions for their unacceptable actions.

  40. TheSalmon says

    Producer is, of course, Harvey Wankstein. Director is Quentin Tarantino, who recently “sent word” via Amber Tamblyn that he would speak about the Weinstein scandal once he’d had time to process his hurt and anger.
    HIS hurt and anger. PUH-LEEZE!
    He stayed quiet for the same reason most of Hollywood stayed quiet for year and decades (and are still staying quiet about many other abusers): Because it benefitted him financially to do so.

  43. rexczarina says

    The two homo sapiens in the story are Weinstein and Tarantino. Thanks for all your work Ace.

  45. timewaster says

    Producer: Harvey Weinstein
    Director: Quentin Tarantino

    Optional: Because he feels he owes Harvey his career?

  46. delray74 says

    Ben Affleck, gone baby gone released by miramax so it’s Harvey the human scum pond as the winner

    Harvey Weinstein

    QT is a pig just like HW, and he wasn’t going to bite the hand that feeds him.

  49. brittneylane says

    Producer: Harvey

    Director: Tarantino

    [Optional] Why do you think the director allowed this to happen? $$$$

  50. Theaterfan says

    Producer: Weinstein-who else?
    Director: Tarantino

    Maybe he was too afraid that if he said something, Weinstein would stop producing his movies.

  51. Chesarez says

    Because Tarantino was a weak kid at the time. How he says, a *.

    That is why he uses the word so much, he associates.

  52. lovefifteen says

    Harvey Weinstein
    Quentin Tarantino

    Clues: Tarantino has stated he needs more time to process Weinstein’s actions, references to the movie Planet Terror.

    Tarantino is one of my favorite directors. It’s a shame he’s likely a garbage human being.
