The authors father had the rights to his story bought by Harvey Weinstein who never paid him for them . A few years she interviewed Weinstein later and he moaned about people lying and saying he never paid them . She had the last laugh giving Ronan Farrow some of the information and leads she’d gathered over the years and writing her own story about him .
My Father, The Inglourious Basterd
Quentin Tarantino's ultra-violent Nazi revenge movie may have plenty of drama but the real story is even better. Kim Masters on the heroic band of Jewish commandos known as X Troop.
Is that the correct linked story? It was interesting, but I thought it would be about the rights to the book issue.
I'd like to see a 'real' version movie made as well.
No that’s the story I meant to link to , I just finished Catch and Kill and she mentions this on the podcast that follows on from the book.

Yep . The I listened to the audio version, he did himself and did a great job . It’s not just about Weinstein though . There’s a lot of creeps he uncovers along the way. His dad would be proud, shame he’s not around to see this.

There is something about him I just inherently dislike so I've been putting off reading his book even though I have it on my iPad. I might start it next then.
Are they all still pretending his Dad isn't his Dad?

Interesting, I’m the opposite. I think he’s hilarious.
He did tweet something to the effect Sinatra is his dad and then backtracked . -

The real CSI: what happens at a crime scene?
From the diver who finds body parts, to the forensic specialist who identifies paint flecks... Craig Taylor goes behind the yellow tape of one crime scene

@dogmeat Interesting stuff “ I have to bring them to the scene at the right time and usually deal with egos. They're experts: they come to a scene and think they've got answers to everything. They haven't. They're just a cog in the machine.” From the first guy, scene manager, obvs doesn’t have an ego himself!

Book recommendation:
Gangland by Jared Savage
About the meth industry in NZ. Charts and examines cases from the mid 90s to present. Info from court docs and some sources.
Easy to read and very interesting what's going on under the surface of nz society.
Main culprits are motorbike gangs, and Chinese criminals importing the ingredients. Lately the main players are exactly those deported from Australia. You know, those ones that learnt everything in Oz and then dumped in NZ. Can't really blame Aus for alleviating their problems so expediently but it hasn't been without it's pitfalls for a NZ that had nothing to do with creating these scumbags. Like I say, give them Tarrant in a quid pro quo....
The US DEA has offices in Wellington and Auckland now to combat the influence of Mexican Cartels in NZ. Yep, that cancer is in Aotearoa now.
A must read for all Taniwha supporters as the cases described will have you knowing the locations and possibly some of the people. Max Beckham for example.

@Stockcar86 Interesting read. How the hell did you come across an article that was published nearly 30 years ago.
Did a bit of a google it seems with time that the Livermore theory has become more accepted

@Stockcar86 that was amazing, so interesting 👍🏻

Seems to showcase all of the bad things about humans too. I'm sure there are good stories too....
