#1 Just wait until they get tired of being tired of it and get just plain mad.

#2 Gilliam said that white men are unfairly blamed for everything that is wrong in the world and that the #MeToo movement has become a witch hunt as well as an excuse for some women to avoid taking responsibility for poor decisions.

#5 an incendiary interview

Correct - because disagreeing with lefty talking points is 'incendiary'. If Gilliam was trashing Trump, he'd be speaking 'truth to power' or some such bullshit.

#8 And what, pray tell, have white men had to do with everything that's right with the world?

#9 sad, as he's been trying to make this movie for 20 years or so if I remember correctly. there's test screenings with Johnny Depp playing the lead IIRC.

now it will be destroyed before it even gets out the gate

#11 Former Monty Python star Terry Gilliam slams #MeToo as a witch hunt, complains he's 'tired of white men being blamed for everything’ and calls Harvey Weinstein's victims 'adults who made choices'

#12 Wow. Signs of intelligent life in Hollywood.

Gilliam speaks truth (and must be punished for it) -- some refreshingly honest remarks by him:

"‘One [of my two women film producers] was a really good producer, and the other was a neurotic b***h. It wasn’t about their sex. It was about the position of power and how people use it.’

Gilliam then says he spoke to a famous actor recently. The topic of conversation was #MeToo.

‘She has got her story of being in the room and talking her way out,’ he said. ‘She says, “I can tell you all the girls who didn’t, and I know who they are and I know the bumps in their careers.”

#14 I never got a tattoo, never felt bad I didn't. Now that my un-defaced skin is worse than a swastika to many I'm all set...
