Weinsteinco speaks: we've taken periodic odysseys
"People who see us say we look happier and younger," Harvey Weinstein a's to Jeffrey Ressner's q's at Time, puttingsmiley emoticons all over the prospects for the Weinsteinco forge. "We feel good that we can do all the cool things we want to do.... In one week, we had a party in New York where the Eagles performed to celebrate Wal-Mart's commitment to 
environmental sustainability, then we opened Bobby with a star-studded premiere in Hollywood." Weinstein's idioms are his very own: "We've taken periodic odysseys across America and internationally to build partnerships with RAI Television in Italy and TF1 in France and ARD in Germany. We're laying down an infrastructure." Lots about their severed ties with the lot of Mouse, some asides from Bob, and Harvey be nimble, be quick: "We snagged the most sought-after title at the American Film Market, which was the Wong Kar Wei movie starring Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz and Norah Jones. That showed nimbleness. At Toronto, between Penelope and the Vince Vaughn movie, we were right there where he had to be."
