Harvey Weinstein has finally—finally!—started a blog. The former co-chairman of Miramax and current head of the Weinstein Company has written a post for Portfolio's newest blog, the hiply titled Playas, which will be guest-edited by celebrities and executives. (No, it's not about beaches en Mexico.) According to a press release, Mr. Weinstein will be writing for a week.
In his link-free and comment-disabled post [Update, 2:27 PM: Looks like links and comments have been added], Mr. Weinstein bemoans how superhero movies are eclipsing indie films like the Weinstein Company's Boy A, which Mr. Weinstein plugs throughout as a four-time BAFTA TV Award winner and recipient of "rave reviews after its premiere."
Who's to blame for the American public's embrace of various Bat- and Ironmen and its rejection of challenging movies? According to Mr. Weinstein, the media, of course. As he writes:
