No. Before you ask. Harvey Weinstein did not invite The Irish Times to his much- trumpeted unveiling of footage from Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained and Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master. About 50 journalists were, however, lured to the Majestic Hotel for the event. As I understand it, several hacks were subsequently shot for revealing significant plot points.

Hang on. There are 50 journalists more important than us. How is this possible?
