Harvey Weinstein Is in Treatment But Defiant Mogul Is 'Not Listening to Anyone,' Says Source

http://people.com/movies/harvey-weinstein-refusing-to-take-treatment-seriously/

Harvey Weinstein is getting treatment but is still defiant in the face of allegations of sexual misconduct spanning decades, a source tells PEOPLE.

“He’s not listening to anyone,” says the source.

The source says that rather checking into a residential rehab facility, Weinstein, 65, is staying at a luxury resort in Arizona and attending out-patient sessions.

While Weinstein said in a statement that he was working with therapists and planned to “deal with this issue head-on,” a second insider tells PEOPLE the movie mogul doesn’t think he needs round-clock help.


My thoughts: He needs jail more than therapy. I'm also not surprised he's "defiant" and not listening, if the report is true.

fyi, MoviePass.com "Any Movie Any Theater Any Day Only $9.95 per month"

https://www.moviepass.com/

I know nothing besides this OP. For more info, please read the website. Seems like a good deal to me ? Apparently AMC Theaters, per dead-tree Maximum PC November 2017 edition, is unhappy with it.

eta per the magazine:
MoviePass faces problems from within the industry, too, including a spat with AMC Theaters, the largest chain in the country, which is reportedly looking for a way to block MoviePass subscriptions. It claims the deal is 'shaky and unsustainable'


The other problems the magazine allude to are: crashed websites, delayed delivery of membership cards, smartphone usage problems, and "the app has also proved to be awkward, demanding, and unpopular"
