Yes, the focus is straying. For that reason alone, I think RM’s comments are very unhelpful.

I know I sound like a broken record but this is what happens when you engage in disputes via media. The media really don’t give a stuff about right and wrong. Their job is to sell papers or get clicks. So when the heat starts to go out of the main story they facilitate in fighting just to generate fresh headlines.
Note that HW issued a single statement following which he withdrew from direct media engagement. Harvey may be a sexist pig but he’s a shrewd operator. He knows that the best thing to do in these situations is to do your arguing in court. So he’s sitting back & letting his victims and opposers tear each other apart in public & keeping his powder dry. All of which provides excellent material for his defence team to work on.
The less said via any form of media the better.

I saw the first Incredibles, and it was ok, but I have no plans to see the new one. I'm pretty sure that the target audience for O8 is older (i.e. adult) and female, and generally those movies aren't taken as seriously as the big blockbusters. That's what I found the most irritating about that article. I watched the Ocean's Eight trailer, and it actually looks really good and funny! But what exactly has it got to do with the "Oceans" franchise? It's a bit confusing to me, the trailer certainly doesn't explain its connection to its franchise at all. I suppose it's aimed at adult women indeed and I am well-aware that it makes everyone take it less seriously (which is a shame) but that doesn't seem to be the only issue here. I mean I am an adult woman and I still don't quite get it. The first Incredibles was really good, but I've no interest in seeing the second either. If I had kids I'd take them to it though, cause it's probably quite good. I'll take Deadpool 2 over both of those films though. The first one was a hoot.

I saw Ocean's 11 and I barely remember the plot. I think George Clooney was Ocean, and he got a bunch of his buddies together to rob a casino.
According to the trailer for Ocean's 8, Sandra Bullock is George Clooney's sister and she gets a bunch of women together to steal jewellery from the Met Gala. So it's basically a heist movie, like the original.

I agree Mllemass. Why isn't that artist making posters of HW with "He Did It" across his eyes instead? (I know, it's just an excuse to attack a left-wing celebrity, but that's an example of how far the attention has wandered from the original issue.)
I like this quote from that article:

Returning to TCW, I checked on Imdb that the twin project was apparently dismissed. It is not anymore on Tyldum's or Eddie's pages.
Now TCW isn't being released for some time perhaps they restart it.
Eddie may win his third nomination.

Maybe! It’s been long enough that folks might have forgotten this film was made by HW, or care that it was.
