    i don't understand how anyone can defend Polanski....

    he fed quaaludes and champagne to a 13 year old girl and then had anal sex with her....how is that even close to consensual??? the victim probably just wants it all to go away because she is older and maybe has kids of her own and doesn't want this all over the news and understandably so.

    agreed!!!


    i simply don't understand it.
    why?

    truly, if any of them thought about it thoroughly...thought about their sister, their own daughter perhaps....at the age of 13 (or any age, really) being raped.....would they ever support this? again, it does not matter if the victim won a huge settlement in a seperate, civil case, does not matter that at this point in time the victim just wants it all over....the fact remains, polanski was convicted and never served his time. would anyone seriously say it's OK, simply b/c 30 years have passed? wtf?! that should anger everyone. i never quite understood how he got away with this. besides, we all know if he were not a famous/talented director....NO one would be signing a petition to help him out. :x :x :x


    i cannot believe some of those names on that....actors/directors i have so admired. shameful. do any of them have children? i think so. i do not know how ANY of them can think this is 'right.' :evil:
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    No, he is someone that supports raping 13 year old girls. Hardly "the man" and not worthy of any sort of pass. I hope Terry doesn't have a daughter.

    according to wikipedia:
    They have three children, Amy (b. 1978), Holly (b. 1980), and Harry (b. 1988), who have also appeared in several of Gilliam's films.

    Has anyone seen the petition that supposedly around 100 or so actors signed saying that he shouldn't be charged ?


    No, do you have the list of names? I'd like to know who is ok with raping 13 year old girls.

    well you asked

    has now been signed by more than 70 film industry luminaries, including Polanski's fellow directors Michael Mann, Wim Wenders, Pedro Almodóvar, Darren Aronofsky, Terry Gilliam, Julian Schnabel, the Dardenne brothers, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Wong Kar-Wai, Walter Salles and Jonathan Demme. Actors Tilda Swinton, Monica Bellucci and Asia Argento, as well as producer Harvey Weinstein have also put their names on the petition. Yesterday, Weinstein stated he was "calling on every film-maker we can to help fix this terrible situation".

    i'd be interested to know if these asshats would give to shits if polanski was plant manager or some other profession they consider beneath them

    fucking scumbags

    I don't think there are too many plant managers who have the ability to make Harvey Weinstein millions of dollars, which makes it even more sleazy.
