(AP Photo/Nati Harnik) Harvey Weinstein’s a notorious character who’s notoriously hard to work for; just ask Errol Morris, director of The Thin Blue Line. Gordon and the Whale has uncovered a letter Weinstein sent Morris in 1988—now going viral on BuzzFeed—complaining that the director had given NPR a “boring” interview. After listening, Weinstein wrote, “You couldn’t have dragged me to see THE THIN BLUE LINE if my life depended on it." “It’s time you start being a performer and understand the media. … If you continue to be boring, I will hire an actor in New York to pretend that he’s Errol Morris. If you have any casting suggestions, I’d appreciate that.” Read These Next Two state troopers were shot in Pennsylvania Something James Carville said made Melania Trump's lawyer unhappy.
