Jeremy Irons YUK

Yes, he's joined the supporters of Polanksi. This doesn't surprise me. I always thought he had disgusting vibes. He has sons, so perhaps can't imagine this anal rape of a little girl, or the heinousness of ever ever ever making a child frightened. He has a disgusting website where his own narcisism is only matched by those of his gross sons. Please Jesus come down and act out that thing of a millstone for anyone who hurts any of the little ones.

The Polanski Issue: Yuk, Yuk and Yuk

This I can hardly believe. Now I know for sure there is something completely sordid about people in the film world. The following are people that I have admired. They are also people who think that a guy who drugs and sodomises a 13-year-old girl should go unpunished. The girl wants to drop the case and forgive him because the case makes her life hell. But this isn't justice. It's the reason why rape victims can't bear to go to court and relive everything again. For once I am quite speechless, but here they are, and I now I would be loathe to shake any of them by the hand:

Woody Allen
Pedro Almodovar
Monica Bellucci

Peter Fonda
Robert Harris

David Lynch
Salman Rushdie

Martin Scorsese
Tilda Swinton
Wim Wenders

A day later I find that I am not alone. Oh hell Sam Mendes and Penelope Cruz.

And a week later it really is heartening to hear what people think about Robert Harris on Paterico's Pontifications:
