Ack. Polanski. Pas Polansky.

I actually sided with Polansky more after seeing the documentary. Yes, what he did was wrong, but he’s obviously not a danger to society, and the girl in question doesn’t want this to go on for another thirty years. Plus (and while still maintaining that I don’t think what he did was okay), the justice system gave him the shaft.

Shit, that was supposed to be a reply to you, Shabutie.

Check your resume, you must have some other skills. Do you have any other skills? Like typing?

First off: The line “I’ll eat you up, I love you so” set me off into being Sobby McSobberson, and I was still Sobby McSobberson 30 minutes after we left the theatre.
Second: I think that Max is the most accurate representation of a kid that I’ve seen in any movie. Ever. Everything that kid said and did was totally believable. It’s like Spike Jonze took him aside and said, “do whatever you want.” I look at Disney’s kiddie movies and see a 10 year old being a total dick and saying really staged sounding “AWESOME!”s every few minutes. Essentially, what I’m saying is that I don’t feel like kids in Hot Wheels commercials are actually what a kid is like. Or maybe it’s just because I grew up lonely and weird, so I relate to Max more. But this isn’t sadpersonalhistorygum, so I guess my final point is that this wasn’t so much a good kid’s movie as the perfect movie about being a kid.

Leave Roman Polanski alone! LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Gah, I’m sick of hearing all of this Polanski bashing. There are so many factors in the case that made his arrest unnecessary and stupid. It’s not such a cut and dry case. The girl’s parents should be held just as responsible as he was. The judge on the case was doing everything he could to get more publicity out of it, so he kept Mr. Polanski around like a cat playing with a dead bird. He already served time, and was under threat of going back to jail. The 13 year old girl involved forgives him and doesn’t want the case to be dragged out any longer. And I don’t honestly think any of you can look at Roman Polanski and say, “yes, he is a pedophile and a threat to society.”

Maybe not worded the best, but I feel very strongly.

What? Barbie movies are a new concept all of a sudden?

(Who told them that The Three Musketeers was an alright story for kids?)

I’ll third the sentiment that people actually care about what Kirk Cameron has to say in Texas. As in, Chick-Fil-A sponsors viewings of it at the Baptist church (too bad their chicken is so delicious).

But I have about the same sentiments as her regarding the subject, and she said it in a Romanian accent, so she gets points.
