How about a #MeToo movie with this plot twist, Hollywood?

The new #MeToo movie She Said has bombed. The prestige picture, based on the crimes of disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein, only made $2 million — “one of the worst results of a major studio in history,” as Variety put it.

Here’s an idea, Hollywood: Make a #MeToo movie in which the accused actually turn out to be innocent.

While the #MeToo movement has been a huge net gain for raising awareness about people like Weinstein, in some ways, it has become a hammer that sees every man as a nail.

It has also become far too politicized. In Here’s the Deal: A Memoir, written by Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, the former counselor to the president slams the feminist hypocrites who were central to the Brett Kavanaugh oppo hit of 2018. The Stasi media would like to forget the appalling hypocrisy, ignorance, and sanctimony they displayed during that episode. Conway makes sure to remind them.

[I seem to recall at least one such film from Hollywood, starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore, that explored this plot line — “Disclosure” in 1994. I also recall it getting criticized at the time for suggesting that women can lie about sexual harassment in the workplace. At least it got green-lit and A-listed back in those days as a concept. — Ed]
