On Roman Polanski:

yogisarah:

Damn, this is depressing.  Pedro Almodovar?!?  I loved that guy.  Emphasis on loveD.  And Woody Allen supports Roman’s release too.  Gross.  You might just want to sit this one out, Woody.  I mean, considering….

I guess I’ll just go home and watch my well used copy of Cliffhanger.  As far as I know Renny Harlin has yet to take a position on the child rapist.

oldauntamy:

Also included on the list are Wim Wenders and John Landis so between Anderson, Wenders, and Landis (fucking LANDIS[!!], director of “Three Amigos” and “Spies Like Us”, two of my very favorite movies EVER), I’ll never see a movie again.

Crap.  I’m stuck with Bay, Bruckheimer, and the Scotts.  Guess I’d better start loving shitty camera tricks and CGI.

(The best part of the stuff below is the link to a Jezebel post that is genius in it’s repeated insistence that he’s a fugitive.child.rapist.  It’s a great read I’d recommend clicking.)

britticisms:

As long as Pedro Almodovar, Wes Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, Monica Bellucci, Alfonso Cuaron, Jonathan Demme, Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu, Wong Kar Wai, Alexander Payne, Jeanne Moreau, Julian Schnabel, and Tilda Swinton continue to show their support for fugitive child rapist Roman Polanski, I will continue to not show my support for their own work.

I am not biased because I am a survivor. I am “biased” because I don’t understand how anyone can support a fugitive child rapist.

This petition has bad news written all over it. On the one hand, you’ve got Wes Anderson about to release a movie based on a popular children’s story. On the other hand, Wes Anderson is now publicly supporting a child rapist. This is not a brilliant marketing move.

At least Carl Reiner didn’t sign the list, because otherwise I would be feeling incredibly guilty for watching and enjoying this movie last night.

And Woody… yeah, sorry. Gee.
