Re: Roman Polanski
Um, guys? What the shizz? I’m very happy that Chinatown is a cinematic masterpiece. I hear The Pianist was wicked too. And it is a shame that Roman Polanski couldn’t come to the Oscars to accept his award. Oh wait, no it’s not! Because RAPISTS should not be allowed to go to the Academy Awards! RAPISTS should be in JAIL!
Hey, Debra Winger! The last time I checked, the Zurich Film Festival is not a sacred event. “This fledgling festival has been unfairly exploited and whenever this happens the whole art world suffers.” Are you kidding me? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! Let me tell you who has been exploited; the thirteen-year-old girl, who was given drungs, alcohol then made to have sex when she said she didn’t want. Let’s review the rules Debra Winger, Hollywood, everyone else:
40-something-year old + 13-year-old + sex = RAPE!
Quaaludes + sex = RAPE!
Being told “no” + sex = RAPE!
If art and artistry as we know it is on the verge of collapse, here’s a wild idea - let’s blame Roman Polanski. How about we don’t vilify the authorities who arrested A FUCKING RAPIST AND EVADED SENTENCING!
And by the way, Pedro Almodovar, David Lynch and Mel Gibson (are you people freaking KIDDING ME!?), making good movies is not the Get Out of Rape Free Card. Being pretty, seductive or sent over by one’s mom is not consent. Not only do you not know this, but you actually believe the opposite. This is terrifying!
Whoopi Goldberg, I usually think you’re awesome. But your “rape-rape” analysis makes me full-on stabbity! Being beaten up and forced to have sex by a shadowy figure hiding in the bushes is rape. Being drugged and forced to have sex by a cinematic genius? Still rape! Polanski raped her. This fact is not up for debate or hyphenate qualifications!
Roman Polanski is not a victim! Living in Europe is NOT punishment! Have you people SEEN France? It’s FUCKING gorgeous, with the good food, the spectacular art, the avant-garde fashion. And no, Polanski wasn’t expecting to get arrested when he went to Switzerland. That doesn’t matter. If *I* went to Switzerland and was unexpectedly arrested, *I* would be a victim. Because *I* didn’t PLEAD GUILTY to a felony of unlawful sexual assault with a minor and then skip town for thirty-something years! Making awesome films isn’t community service! It doesn’t count as time served!
It’s a crime! It’s a horrible, demoralizing, evil crime! What about being famous prevents one from understanding this? For reals, yo -have you people gone mental? Or is there a Really Good Artist Exemption section in U.S. law. Is that why Canadian talent keeps heading south? If I write a really, really, REALLY, good play what felonies am I allowed to commit?
Roman Polanski is a CREEPY PEDOPHILE. He’s been arrested so he can go to the place where CREEPY PEDOPHILES are supposed to go: Jail. And when he gets out he can make a movie about it. And it will be brilliant . Then you can all give him an Oscar and he’ll be able to attend. Then you can all go to the Governor’s Ball together and toast the most talented rapist Hollywood has ever known!
In conclusion, no love and FUCK OFF!
