Harry's DVD PICKS & PEEKS: 1st 2 wks of Aug 2010: Kurosawa, Crumb, Polanski, Vaughn, Elvis, Snake & LOUIE BLUIE!!!
Hey folks, Harry here with the latest two weeks of DVD PICKS & PEEKS. There’s some really great stuff on here – mainly from last week, but there’s some bright spots from this week as well – though the offerings for this week are slimmer. Lotta crap released today. As usual the pics and titles link you to Amazon, where if you happen to pick up an item via these links, you’ll help keep this column going. I really do love doing this, but there’s some weeks where it just escapes me. I think it should be right on schedule for the next several weeks. The next impending time crunch for me seems to be FANTASTIC FEST & the launch of my iteration of FAMOUS MONSTERS.Com. Both of which will take a good deal of time to live up to my standards for both. But this next month should be pretty damn good to go. So – let’s hop into it, you’ve waited long enough. Now that damn INCEPTION review….
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
THE GHOST WRITER
This is an extraordinary little movie. I put it in and watched the Blu-Ray last night, got caught up and enthralled. Ewan McGregor plays the titular GHOST WRITER of the film. Essentially, he’s writing Tony Blair’s memoirs – ghosting the original ghost writer, who turned up dead. Everything is suspicious – and technically it isn’t Tony Blair, but it really is. Only, last I heard… scratch that, you should see the movie. Roman Polanski crafted a wonderfully layered and handsome film out of the great novel it was based upon. One of the best films of 2010.
KICK-ASS
Now here’s a geek must have. KICK-ASS is so compellingly rewatchable, it is just sick. I’ve watched it about 3 times here on Blu Ray – and I love it. I don’t quite love it as much as I did at BNAT – and I really do think it sucks that Warner Brothers wouldn’t play ball with Vaughn so this could have that original epic score. I know, live with it, grow up, let it go. I have, that’s why I have enjoyed it so much on Blu. Here’s the extras you’re getting:
• Ass-Kicking BonusView™ Mode
• Matthew Vaughn Audio Commentary
• A New Kind of Superhero: The Making of KICK-ASS. In four chapters: 1) Pushing Boundaries; 2) Let’s Shoot This F*****! 3) Tempting Fate; 4) All Fired Up!
• It’s On! The Comic Book Origin of KICK-ASS
• The Art of KICK-ASS
• Marketing Archive
• BD Touch™ and Metamenu® Remote Enabled for iPhone®/iPod®/iPad® Interactivity
• D-Box Metadata Track to Connect to D-Box Motion-Based Systems
• Lionsgate Live™ – BD-Live menu system that lets you access exclusive content, special offers, ringtones, and more!
Now, I can’t wait to see what Matthew comes up with in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS.
DIARY OF A WIMPY KID
Alright, so you fell in love with Chloe Moretz from KICK ASS – see her in something a helluvalot more age appropriate. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID is pretty damn fun. But lest you think Chloe is going all family friendly with us – I’ve seen her in LET ME IN – and it is her best work thus far. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID just feels like something good to share with the fam. Check it out.
HEROES: SEASON Four
I’m on the second disc of this right now as I’m working on the Column. I need to rewatch the end of season 3, because I’m not real sure why things are the way they are at the start of this season. I’m a tad confused. But I do like the roommate relationship with Claire at College. In fact that is a way for her to get around the whole regrowing Hymen situation. Whatever makes her happy. And I’m a little curious about the wisdom of having Sylar at a Carnival filled with superpowered types. I expect the worst. But I have to say – this is amongst the most compelling that I’ve seen HEROES for quite sometime. That’s usually how it goes – a show on the ropes sometimes rises to new heights with its final “fuck it” season. I am enjoying this.
ELVIS ON TOUR ( Blu Ray )
I love the lunacy of ELVIS. Watching this musical documentary this hitches a ride with Elvis as he hits 15 cities on 15 nights – and well… you’ve got a backstage pass – and ya gotta love the kisses he plants on fans… or the way he turns the lights on in the auditorium so he can get a look at the folks in the room. Now – how much Elvis music is there? 25 different numbers. Parts of this doc were supervised by Martin Scorsese. You’ll see many faces of ELVIS here and they’re all delightful.
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (Blu Ray)
God I love this movie. I bought this last Tuesday and I’ve seen it twice since then. Once to show Yoko and once… just cuz once wasn’t enough. This is a film that I can leave to use the restroom and quote as I do my business and return right in time with the movie. Now – this is where we should all spank FOX. Ok. Now, thank you for releasing the movie… BUUUUUT, WTF – ZERO EXTRAS? Really? Ok… so for those of you like me… that just need to have a gorgeous print of this movie – we’re going to end up double dipping, because we WANT EXTRAS on this title in HD – and they didn’t give them to us, but we’re also impatient and geeks and we had to have this like goddamn oxygen… and Fox knows that. The bastards. But you can bet within the next few years there’ll be a better edition, but can you wait that long? I couldn’t.
THE BREAKFAST CLUB (Blu Ray)
Is this the best John Hughes film? What is? I’m drunk in love with WEIRD SCIENCE… but emotionally it just doesn’t hit quite like THE BREAKFAST CLUB or 16 CANDLES. For me, the Best John Hughes lies somewhere between BREAKFAST CLUB and SIXTEEN CANDLES. I love both of the films completely. But there’s something so right about detention in the Library on a day off that just seems universal. I remember feeling like the characters in this film. I remember being that age. I remember those conversations when different “types” from High School came together. When we dropped the pretense and became real. The music from the film, I remember dancing to those songs and feeling that they brought out of me. When emotions ran on fire. BREAKFAST CLUB, for me, represented what High School was really about. It was about seeing through the clothes, the hairstyles and the image that kids project – till you find that real common soul. That none of us know what the future has in store for us. That we’re all scared about that – and none of us have the perfect life. BREAKFAST CLUB is the Rosetta Stone for growing up in the 80s. For me, it is pure bliss. Nice to have it on Blu-Ray!
TCM Spotlight: Errol Flynn Adventures (DESPERATE JOURNEY / EDGE OF DARKNESS / NORTHERN PURSUIT / UNCERTAIN GLORY / OBJECTIVE BURMA )
Got this set and put on NORTHERN PURSUIT, UNCERTAIN GLORY and DESPERATE JOURNEY right away. Why? Well, they were 3 Errol Flynn films that I hadn’t seen yet. And given that my favorite Star in cinema history is Errol Flynn, that meant this box set made me a very happy Harry indeed. NORTHERN PURSUIT is a great Nazi plot in the Frozen Tundra of Canada! Think… CLIFFHANGER without digital wire-removal and with better bad guys and you have the beginning of a notion about the film. DESPERATE JOURNEY has Reagan following Errol Flynn as they make their way back to England after being shot down over Germany. Wonderful little film. Loved it. UNCERTAIN GLORY takes place in Occupied France, where Flynn volunteers to be the wanted man, that will save 100 French Citizens from being put to death. Add to those three, the brilliant EDGE OF DARKNESS and the action and awesome OBJECTIVE, BURMA… and you have a really great set of not-the-typical FLYNN flicks that everybody knows. But Flynn was always great. Wish we had an actor like him today.
ROAD TO PERDITION (Blu Ray)
Watching ROAD TO PERDITION on Blu-Ray made me mourn the loss of Conrad Hall – all over again. The depth of his lens and all that it captured are on full display here. This is the film that made me dream of the Sam Mendes Daniel Craig / James Bond. Look at Craig in this film. He’s just amazing. But then, everyone and everything about ROAD TO PERDITION is great. Jude Law turned in what is still my favorite Jude role in this. Just great. Paul Newman brought it too. Then there is TOM HANKS and that lil boy that looks exactly like my mind’s eye of Bruce Wayne as a kid. Everything about this film I love. The sound design, the music, the images, the characters, even the very genre it all sings about. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! And it happens to look best on Blu Ray! Watch Sam Mendes’ intro – he confesses as much!
JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH (Blu Ray)
Often maligned as simply not being NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS – I’m quite taken with JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH. There’s a genuine sweetness to James and a childlike wonder to his adventure which Henry Selick perfectly captures at the pit of the peachy tale. I’m on record as LOVING the Stop-Motion films intensely in Blu Ray – simply because the resolution difference gives such a rich texture to everything, which on these films… well it is key.
HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP (Blu Ray)
Ok… Raise your hands if this was spank material on late night Cinemax for you during your pimple years? This might have some of the best cheesy yummy awesome genre nudity ever. Not as great a film as LIFEFORCE, but damn if this thing isn’t a crotch inspiring genre effort from the realm of Roger Corman! The “Hero” of the flick is played by Doug McClure and I won’t lie – I love me some Doug McClure. Oh sure, he’s about as wooden as Troy McClure – but that’s because Doug was the inspiration for that character. As a kid, his Burroughs films inspired me to start reading the vastly superior books, so when I originally saw HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP at the age of 9 at the Drive-In here in Austin, I thought this was based on an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel that I couldn’t find. Yeah. I was a very geeky kid. Extras are all over this BLU – (AHEM – FOX – dude, Roger Corman is handing you your ass!) My fave being the Deleted Scenes and the Maltin/Corman interview. Great disc!
PIRANHA (Blu Ray)
I loved watching this with the Rolling Roadshow in San Marcus with Joe Dante on the banks of where all the blood washed ashore. I actually remember this film very specifically as a kid. Growing up just down the road from where this was shooting – I was amazed hearing that they were shooting a movie near by. As a kid & as an adult – I’m always in awe of films shooting in my city. Anyway – as a result, when this opened in Austin’s Drive-Ins – my parents took me. As a result, I’ve had a lifelong fascination with real Piranhas. And these fish really freak me out. The movie is a blast – and Joe Dante really made a very good film out of this JAWS-wannabe material that he made far better than probably anyone expected at the time. I mean seriously – a geek publication movie reviewer directing a film? The internet would have destroyed him! Heh. Now, because Corman loves Extras here’s what you get:
* New Anamorphic Widescreen Version (1.85:1)
* Audio Commentary With Director Joe Dante and Producer Jon Davison
* Behind-the-Scenes Footage
* The Making of Piranha Featurette With New Interviews From Roger Corman, Joe Dante, Dick Miller, Belinda Balaski and Many More
* Bloopers and Outtakes
* Piranha Trailer With Commentary by Producer Jon Davison Courtesy of Trailers From Hell
* Stills Gallery With Photos and Posters From Around the World
* Behind-the-Scenes Stills Gallery Featuring Photos From Phil Tippetts Personal Collection
* Additional Scenes From the Network Television Version
* Radio and TV Spots
* New World Trailers
The Kim Novak Collection ( PICNIC / JEANNE EAGELS / BELL, BOOK & CANDLE / MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT / PAL JOEY )
I didn’t get this set, but I love PICNIC / BELL, BOOK & CANDLE and PAL JOEY. But when I looked up MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT – I discovered this is another Older Man and Younger Lady film to add to that particular Harr/Yoko sub-collection. Such a great subgenre which seems to usually feature James Mason as the older man… but here, Kim Novak is getting Fredric March’s Jekyll & Hyde! So, I’m definitely looking forward to that. Now from everything I hear, JEANNE EAGELS is a Biopic dying to be remade. Jeanne Eagels was a silent actress that was setting the world aflame – who suddenly committed suicide after her second sound film. The film apparently is a typical Biopic at the time, which was rarely about facts, but rather fancy. If you read up on Ms Eagels you’ll likely be intrigued by the film – but I hear it doesn’t satisfy. Overall though this is a very solid set of titles.
AFTER.LIFE
This is one of those films that I kinda liked, but can’t recommend with gusto – no matter how much I love seeing Cristina Ricci naked for the majority of the film. But… damn. Ya know. Christina is super hot – and Liam Neeson’s Mortician will definitely remind you of the TALL MAN from the PHANTASM series in very subtle ways that I wasn’t expecting. Justin Long kinda phones it in – and the kid in the film could’ve been written so much better. An almost good movie.
GREAT WALDO PEPPER
It is in WIDESCREEN! Finally. Bad news, no special features – c’mon someone interview Robert Redford for every film he’s ever made and just get those special features in place! And the opening and closing music is different from that of the original theatrical and I have no reason why and I’m not happy, as I liked that music. As they used to sing, “You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there ya have the facts of life!” But if you love great aerial work from the birth of aerial activity – you’ll pretty much love this movie. It is quite good!
DEATH SPORT / BATTLE TRUCK
If you thought ROAD WARRIOR was the best Post-Apocalyptic movie ever made…. Watching this double feature with reinforce that belief with vigor. I’d be lying if I said I don’t enjoy these two – especially the funk that is DEATHSPORT – but then I have a serious weak spot for the erection-inducing awesome that was Claudia Jennings at this time. I have a nice Claudia Jennings home video collection including THE LOVE MACHINE (1971), THE STEPMOTHER (1972), GROUP MARRIAGE (1973), TRUCK STOP WOMEN (1974), GATOR BAIT (1974), THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1976) – she was Playmate of the Year in 1970 with a very impressive 35-23-36 (yes, I have those issues), and my fascination with Claudia began at the behest of my friend, Jed Strahm, who’s first feature will be hitting the world shortly… and yes, he knows nut-ripping cinema better than anyone I’ve ever met. And yes, that includes the people you know I know.
That said – you should definitely check these out if you have a Post-Apocalyptic Collection going. I especially love those crazy Italian runs at this sub-genre!
BULL DURHAM (Blu Ray)
2nd best Kevin Costner Baseball film or third?
ECLIPSE SERIES 23: The First Films of Akira Kurosawa ( Criterion ) (SANSHIRO SUGATA / THE MOST BEAUTIFUL / SANSHIRO SUGATA Part Two / THE MEN WHO TREAD ON THE TIGER’S TAIL )
Last holiday season, these Kurosawa titles were the big carrot for buying that amazing 100th Birthday set of KUROSAWA titles from Criterion. Truly the most awe-inspiring box set I own. These are literally Kurosawa’s original films and they’re fascinating to watch because you watch the master become the master as you watch them. You see his eye take form fully developed. Lots of folks were screaming when Criterion released that earlier set – that Criterion wasn’t coming out with exactly this – so those that had been individually purchasing Kurosawa’s Criterion releases wouldn’t have to get that set. Well your patience has paid off – and here ya go!
HENSON’S PLACE: THE MAN BEHIND THE MUPPETS
A period documentary about Jim Henson that ends right at the point where he was preparing to make LABYRINTH – but that has total access to the Muppet master and his archive of footage and materials – along with the talents behind their brilliance. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Perhaps my favorite thing on this page. I love showing this to people that share my Henson addiction. I was born into the third year of SESAME STREET and Henson died during my first year of COLLEGE. To say he was one of the Gods of my childhood would not be an exaggeration. He was right there with Walt Disney, Max Fleischer, Ray Harryhausen, George Pal, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and a ton of others as being the folks that formed my mental workings. Yes, my wife and I went to FAO SCHWARTZ to design Muppets of ourselves – and of course at every drunken debauched party at my house – somebody ends up doing lewd things with our puppets and we all die laughing. I still want a fully robotic lifesized Hoggle to just do stuff for me around the house. I’m not kidding. Someone get to work on that! Meanwhile, I can’t imagine a film geek that would not love this. An incredible look at Henson’s major works when Henson could and did comment for the filmmakers. A treasure!
KALIFORNIA (Blu Ray)
Back when Brad Pitt didn’t need mad crazy awesome special effects to look 17 years younger – because he was 17 years younger and still everybit the actor he is today! For most of us though – at the time… we saw this movie because David Lynch & The X-Files had turned us into David Duchovny geeks. This is easily the best film in Director Dominic Sena’s regularly reprehensible filmography… but It gives us reason to hope before the actuality of his vision inevitably disappoints. That’s not the case here. That said, you’ll see his limitations here as while this is a very watchable film – there’s shit tons of places where you wish this material was in better hands. But like I said, it is still a good film, just not what it could have been with this exact cast, scenario and simply a stronger director’s guiding hand.
ELVIS 75th Anniversary DVD Collection ( ELVIS ON TOUR / JAILHOUSE ROCK / VIVA LAS VEGAS / IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD’S FAIR / THIS IS ELVIS / AT THE WORLD’S FAIR / KISSIN’ COUSINS / SPINOUT / HARUM SCARUM / LIVE A LITTLE, LOVE A LITTLE / CHARRO! / GIRL HAPPY / TICKLE ME / SPEEDWAY / ELVIS: THAT’S THE WAY IT IS / STAY AWAY, JOE / THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS )
One day this will all be Blu. And I’ll be happier. I do believe every title here has been released previously, if you have them, there’s no reason to upgrade til Blu. That said – this is just a hair under $57 and you get 17 Elvis films – which is a damn fine deal if you’ve been holding off picking them up for a while. So fry up a peanut butter and banana sandwich or 3 and enjoy the awesome that is Elvis – in all his forms…
METALSTORM: THE DESTRUCTION OF JARED-SYN
Where’s my 3D Blu Ray? This is a seriously funky bit of childhood fun by Charles Band for UNIVERSAL PICTURES! I remember seeing this in 3D at the Northcross Mall theater as a kid and thinking… THAT WAS FUN! And when I put this on last week – I remembered that little kid and had quite a bit of fun with it – though it is weird to watch this in 2D, because this was a coming at you 3D film and in 2D – it just isn’t nearly as much fun. RERELEASE SPECIAL EDITION IN THEATERS? One could dream.
PANDORA AND THE FLYING DUTCHMAN (Blu Ray)
KINO did an amazing job with this. The TECHNICOLOR is gorgeous and this is one of those titles that you have to just fall to your knees and worship KINO for putting out – because the studios would never ever get around to releasing a title like this. BTW – Scorsese’s quote is dead on perfect (big surprise) If you’re a fan of the cinematography legend that is Jack Cardiff, this is amongst his finest and most surreally wonderful work of his career. A very strange film that needs no drugs to assist it’s manic delirium. TRULY AWESOME to see this way. If it seems I’m dodging the plot – I think the filmmakers did too – or were less concerned with it. And in this case, that is a wonderful thing. Absolutely worth seeing for the cineastes out there!
THE DUNGEON MASTERS
Never entirely awesome, yet train wreck fascinating is THE DUNGEON MASTERS. Oh – had they only added 1 more Dungeon Master… Massawyrm. Then the freakshow would be complete! Giggle. Actually, there’s a lot to like about this, but the great Doc on this subject has yet to be made and shown to me.

CRUMB (Criterion Blu)
The night before Yoko and I left for Comic Con 2010 – as Yoko began packing, I put CRUMB on as the perfect last film to watch before going to Comic Con. I’d just gotten the Criterion release of this Blu Ray – and well… Yoko didn’t get much packing done, because shortly after the documentary got started… she stopped what she was doing and began watching… It just sucked her right in. All of a sudden she was caught up in the life of someone that she hasn’t read a single issue of a single work that he’s ever created – but she was fascinated. You know what I get to do now? Giggle. I get to actually pull out all my Crumb books and let her discover his brilliance in an even more intimate manner – just his ink and her thoughts. That’s how awesome this film is. Now if you want to know why getting this on Blu Ray is awesome… let me tell ya. You need 1080p to fully appreciate Crumb’s awesome line-work. But more so – everything in Crumb’s life is a textured thing and the photography is gorgeous. Here’s the extras that Criterion has for you:
New, restored high-definition digital transfer
Uncompressed monaural soundtrack
2010 audio commentary with Zwigoff
2006 audio commentary with Zwigoff and critic Roger Ebert
Outtakes and deleted scenes
Stills gallery
PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Jonathan Rosenbaum
MAX HEADROOM: THE COMPLETE SERIES
You may find this handy when reading Ernie Cline’s READY PLAYER ONE next year or later this year. Whenever it comes out. I’m only vaguely joking there – but Ernie does show some serious love for Max Headroom – and as many of you have seen – of my Max Headroom Harry Animation I’ve often put up in the corner when I felt in a particularly 80s mood. All of this is still 20 minutes in the future – and at Comic Con – the guy that put the special features and this set together – went on record that this project has resulted in one of his actual Dream Sets to work on – and I COMPLETELY GET THAT – because MAX HEADROOM is such a particularly weird bit of 80’s oddness – but I loved it. LOVED IT! So bizarre, weird and awesome! Here’s a few of the extras, the set has more than this!
Live On Network 23: The Story Of Max Headroom – The creative team shares their stories
Looking Back At The Future: An intimate roundtable discussion with members of the cast
The Big-Time Blanks: Morgan Sheppard and Concetta Tomei reflect on Max Headroom
The Science Behind The Fiction – George Stone reveals the role of technology in the creation of Max Headroom
These are very involved and superior extras that anyone craving to fill some extra Headroom…. Well, you’ll totallyyou’re your money’s worth!
NATIONAL LAMPOON’S VACATION (Blu Ray)
Now that Chevy Chase’s career was fully brought back from the land on the otherside of the river Styx with HOT TUB TIME MACHINE – Warner Home Video has released the remaining great Vacation flicks – the first two!!! I’ve always preferred the sequel – but I love this journey to WALLY WORLD – and the commentary alone is worth it – featuring Chevy Chase, Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall, Dana Barron and HAROLD RAMIS! There’s also a nice introduction, but I really wish there were more extras here.
NATIONAL LAMPOON’S EUROPEAN VACATION
I really, truly, without a doubt, despise the cover for EUROPEAN VACATION. I mean… that looks like SOUND OF MUSIC. No. That looks like a modern shitty spoof flick of SOUND OF MUSIC… and that is absolutely not the awesome that is EUROPEAN VACATION! It features a commentary by Chevy – and that’s it. I haven’t seen this disc yet – so I can’t tell y’all if this is the original cut or that unfortunate cut from a few years back. If you get this disc and see it – let folks know in the talkback below – if I pick it up today, I’ll modify this posting. But I’m going tubing with my nephew and Yoko today…. So I won’t be in til later tonight.
WHAT’S UP DOC
One of many great Peter Bogdanovich movies – and a favorite of my dear departed mother. This is an incredibly well written, witty, sharp as all hell Screwball Comedies that you’re likely to see. There’s even a doc here to give you some great Screwball Comedies to check out besides this one. And it is a damn fine one. Streisand does a few specific scenes of commentary, but there’s a full commentary by Peter Bogdanovich – who I could listen to tell stories for a week at a time. Oh – and Madeline Kahn’s film debut is kinda friggin awesome!
IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON
Space documentaries on Blu Ray are an instant purchase in this household, but this is one of the great ones. Interviewing every man that ever walked on the moon – then setting their voices in a very non-talking head fashion over this amazing archival footage, some of which I’ve never seen – and how the hell is that continually possible? Just how many cameras did NASA have shooting non-stop on these missions – and is the reason the rockets were so big and powerful… was it just to get that much filmstock off the ground? I don’t know. But just rewatching this made me look up Moriarty’s great piece from back in 2007 on the film! OH! And there’s great extras on here:
Feature Commentary with David Sington, David Fairhead and Chris Riley
Ron Howard Film Intro
Scoring Apollo: A Short Feature with Composer Philip Sheppard
Bonus Interviews And Stories
Ron Howard: Inspired By Apollo
Theatrical Trailer
UNDER THE MOUNTAIN
Better than about 90% of the pap smears the youth of today have to stomach in theaters is UNDER THE MOUNTAIN – a very never seen film that only seems to be adored by a smattering of film geeks that run websites and found Jonathan King’s UNDER THE MOUNTAIN to be pretty amazing and awesome. This is the remake of ESCAPE FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN – as completely reconceived, far scarier and starring the awesome Sam Neill as a downright scary fucking Gandalf type. This is rated PG 13 – but if your kid is 9 to 16, they’ll probably eat this up! And if you like juvenile fantasy – you’re probably gonna like this a lot. It is gross in the right kind of ways thanks to WETA – and as is often the case, things from New Zealand tend to rock at just the right frequency to get me onboard. This is a very nice little film.
LOUIE BLUIE (Criterion)
Long before Terry Zwigoff took the critical world by storm with CRUMB, all the way back in cassette tape days of 1985, Zwigoff made LOUIE BLUIE – a film I’ve never had a chance to see, until two days ago. I put it on so I could watch it with Yoko – thinking it was just going to be a typically amazing documentary from Terry Zwigoff about an early Black Jazz man from back in the day. And given Yoko is currently on a Louis Jordan kick, I figured she would appreciate the new talent to dig into. WOW – this is so much more than a music documentary. Seriously – this is just a flat out amazing story of a man that is just brilliant as a musician – but equally so as a cartoonist, artist and writer. After watching this doc – I suddenly found that my fondest wish was for Denis Kitchen to get his hands on Howard “Louie Bluie” Armstrong’s WHOREHOUSE BIBLE and reprint it – actual size as it is. Just watching and listening to Armstrong as he reads and riffs on it through sections of this movie… Hand illustrated by Armstrong – from ages untold – but long before the Underground Comix scene had started – was this amazingly blasphemous work of wonder. I’ve searched to see if it has ever been reproduced and as far as I know – the only way I can see it – is if I pause while watching and read while slowly advancing – but they skip sections!!! It isn’t all there! I must read this amazing work – illustrated as you see on the cover of this DVD. If, like me, you haven’t seen this film… I promise – this is a great work! Check out Roger Ebert’s great piece on this film. I started searching around to find out more and found his great write-up where he talks about watching Louie Bluie perform in a club in Chicago regularly. OH – TO BE THERE! This ANTONES lover craves more!
SCREWBALLS II: LOOSE SCREWS (Blu Ray)
Now you are instantly aware of why it is paramount that a film like this is released in Blu Ray’s awesome 1080p delivery. And yeah – this is pretty bad – but then there are moments where the costume design is so absent that it is just positively beautiful. And yeah… that’s the very definition of home entertainment!
VINTAGE LESBIAN EROTICA
Because… it fucking rules, ok? That’s why this is here. And if you’re gonna have Vintage Lesbian Erotica (for research purposes only, my ass) you have to have “THE UNCENSORED VERSION” because… you’re doing research into important things – like the mating habits of choral girls that probably were in Busby Berkeley chorus lines – and yeah – immediately after watching a great film like FOOTLIGHT PARADE – or say before you watch GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933 – this is the perfect thing to watch to remind you that yeah… back in the Flapper days with their IT GIRLS – this was going on – and film was awesome enough to capture some of it for us to be in awe of.
LITTLE WOMEN
Ya know – sometimes I find the synchronized fashion of random acts of my life and this column to just be absolutely uncanny. Yoko has been reading the entire Louisa May Alcott series of books beginning with LITTLE WOMEN – and I was just telling her how she really should see the Katherine Hepburn version of LITTLE WOMEN that George Cukor directed. Because it is my personal favorite version of the story. It was nominated for Best Director and Best Picture, and won a Best Adapted Writing Oscar. This is a great film – and everybody that hasn’t gone on a George Cukor voyage of discovery, should. Really did do great work. BTW, you don’t have to be a girl to enjoy this – and it’ll help you understand both little and not-so little women. Cuz they’ve pretty much all read this novel at some point. Learn why Jo is so dear.
That’s it for these last two Tuesdays. Next Tuesday we’ll be looking at the 4th Season of DEXTER, THE LAST SONG, 4th season of BULLWINKLE, FURRY VENGEANCE (could be worst film ever?), the first season of COUGAR TOWN, THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS AGAIN, HAMLET (Blu), BLACK ORPHEUS (Criterion Blu), THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD on Blu, NANNY McPHEE, part 1 of season 1 of BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD, THE CONVERSATION, L’ENFANCE NUE (Criterion), Drive In Cult Classics, GOSH ALICE GOODBODY and that looks like it. See you next Tuesday!

Hi Harry,
would you mind to elaborate on your statement concerning Warner Brothers and the Kick-Ass score? Did they have to change it for the Blu-Ray? (God I hope not...) -
will buy those vacation dvds just for the chevy chase commentary. By the way i hated how they always changed the kid actors.
-
By the time MGM sorts out its business they will probably feel it's too late to bring him back and they'll want to go fresh.
-
Blasphemy! The whole kidnapping plot is so painful to watch. Terribly unfunny.
-
Prob long wait for that baby
-
This is the best column on this site. Thanks for doing it.
-
Come on Harry, everyone knows that Christmas Vacation is better than European Vacation. It's just a fact.
-
I think Harry meant, that at the preview showings at some comic con or somewhere.......they used cues from the original John Williams Superman score, these clips turned up online, and they sounded amazing. I'm guessing Warner Bros wouldn't give up the rights to the Superman music as it wasn't used in the theatrical release.
-
for more Bond. His appetite is there, just need to wait for the suites to get their shit together.
-
we could have had the Inception review.
-
...and pay attention to where Henson talks about the fine line of "crass marketing"; while he realized that kids wanted to have a Fozzie or Kermit, he didn't want to bleed them dry. It's disappointing to see how much SW crap has saturated the marketplace in 30 years.
-
Ah, thanks man! Harry got me a little worried there - loved the score, one of my favorites of the year so far!
-
guess ill have to put it on back order
-
Jesus, give it a break. This shit comes up in almost every talkback. Will your lives not be complete without a review of Inception by Harry? A review that, based on every single one of his other reviews, would read like it was written by a third-grader? Maybe it's time to let the Inception thing go, eh?
-

Harry have you ever considered handing this column over?
by redbull_werewolf
I do appreciate what you do, but you always seem to be late because of your hectic schedule. Have you ever considered handing it over to a new (or existing) writer that could concentrate on it on a regular basis, perhaps have the time to go more in depth with each title. I know it's your baby, but you just don't seem to have your heart in the DVD column anymoreAlso, I watched Road to Perdition last night and holy crap it is one of the most beautiful looking films on Bluray I have ever seen, it's cinematography like this that bluray was made for.
-
thanks for the KICK ASS review..of sorts..cant wait for the INCEPTION DVD review around christmas
-
I haven't seen it played with the superman score (which would be cool) but as the film stands now, I fucking love the score. Yes it uses some stuff from Sunshine and 28 days later (although it's been re-arranged) but the whole score just feels so heroic, especially Kick-Ass theme excelently played through out but kicked into high gear at the end when him and hit girl fly off on the jetpack (I just wish that track was longer as it's great to work out too, but it's only 2 mins - I might need to do some editing and make a playlist for my workouts)I don't buy alot of music scores (besides the classics like SW or LOTR) but After seeing this in theatres I went to itunes and purchased this score, and since watching the bluray last week i've been listening to it non-stop

You know the music in Superman II, when the camera is panning over Krypton and it arrives at that huge dome? Right at the start of the film? That music was in Kick-Ass originally (NOT IN THE THEATRICAL RELEASE) They used that music at the start of Kick-Ass when you see the super hero wannabe stood atop the skyscraper about to 'fly'. And it was very effective. Really liked the Kick Ass score though especially the Sunshine bit....'Turn on Krypton Liiiiiiiiighhhhhtttt' looking forward to getting it on blu ray.

Loose Screws = Awesome Party Movie
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
super funny canadian t'n'a film. so much retarted stuff in this movie, including a rock n roll robot. up there with midnight madness.
-
If I want your opinion i'll give it to you.
-
I used to read this weekly to get some good recommendations, but now it just seems like a diary of whatever shit Harry has shoved in his player this week.
Example descriptors from above:
- one of those films that I kinda liked, but can’t recommend with gusto
- still a good film, just not what it could have been
- never entirely awesome, yet train wreck fascinating
- this is pretty bad
Okay, thanks for the shitty recommendations. Next.

IMHO
-
In the Ghost-Writer! Thats the twist
sorry nonce lovers!!! -
I'm amazed they didn't shove Daniel Craig on there while they were at it.And WTF is up with the MGM practice of Blu-Ray/DVD "combo packs"? Why not just put all of the DVD extras on the Blu-Ray? If I want to buy Blu-Ray, then it's a pretty good indicator I don't want a DVD copy of the same movie.
-
unlike todays butchered skank tits.
-
The music during that scene is amazing, infact that is my favourite scene in kick-ass. Big Daddy knows he'll die but he's still devoted to helping his daughter take down the bad guys, I also loved that they had plans of attack layed out and they were named after comics. Cage's delivery of "Swith to kryptonite" and "time for robin's revenge" is amazing, some might say campy but I love em anyways and I'm ever set on fire thats what i'll be yelling too
-
is it that hard to use the old art??criterion covers are practically frame worthy with every disc.but this photoshop shit is killing me.
-
i remember seeing that scene in the theater and having a hard time understanding what he said..thanks christ for subtitles on dvd.
-
It was possibly the worst end to a show that started out so promising. The messed with time travel so much that the writers just abandoned most of the main characters and picked up on a carnival full of new, poorly conceived knuckleheads.
also, James and the Giant Peach is a great movie. Roald Dahl understands the way children tick. Every time I watch this or Willy Wonka I'm transported to my childhood when I first read these fantastical books. -
some of us actually wanted to see the Ghost Writer, but thanks for ruining the twist. I hope you die of cancer and aids

"I can't wait till I'm old enough to feel junk about stuff."
by billyeveryteen
Heroes S4? Set expectations to low.Ricci's boobs? Buffalo '66 all the way.
-
That's Professional!
-
I agree with the above... so many great films in this week's crop... WITH SUCH AWFUL COVER ART.
Urgh! The picture may be better on Blu but the fucking covers sure aint. -
"But then, everyone and everything about ROAD TO PERDITION is great"
Harry, I saw this again recently and have to disagree with you. I think the film trips over at the finish line. Just moments before the credits. There's one of the most unnecessary and lame-brained voiceover moments tacked on (the kid's cack-handed eulogy), that really left a sour taste in my mouth as the credits rolled.
It's not quite Mila Kunis at the end of BOOK OF ELI bad... but still it tarnishes an otherwise superb film. -
stop feeding this trend.the picture from the dvd will look fine on most of your sets boys and girls so if PREDATOR and ESCAPR FROM NY are just film only and you have more features on your dvd, then wait. they did the same with dvd and they will do the same with BLU. you bitched when you double dipped for DVD, and youll bitch again for BLU. only YOU can break the cycle.
-
the best is the part when the guy is told to kill HANKS and his debt will be clear..his expression, the way it changes..awesome.
-
Fuck it. You missed the boat on that one. It's too late now.
-
Shame it took them that long to start getting good again. Everyone had already jumped ship.
-
upon seeing it for the 12th time...
-
and then like all its seasons, degenerates into complete and total shit. Thank Nolan this terrible show is finally over.
-
Why do studios waste money on making terrible covers for movies when they already have superior artwork from the original back in the day? Idiots.
-
I don't think Kick Ass is as appreciated as much as it should be. The flick is so much better than Watchmen....but more people suck that movies cock then Kick Ass. I really believe a couple of years down the line after thousands of viewings on HBO and maybe TNT, this film will find a die hard audience. I myself just can't stop watching it. I pop the disk in over and over again. And the soundtrack is fantastic. All the queues are just great. I love the hit girl stand off at the end of the film, where every base beat focuses on another bad guys face. Great film. Xmen first class is in great hands.
-
Your review could use some clarification on just how nude she is.
-
It's so the kids can watch Road to Perdition in the back seat of the family minivan on those long family trips.
-
Season three messed up by trying to turn Sylar good, which was a dumb move. Later in the season it got better with Sylar much more villainous, but the fans had already left before seeing the show turn around. Season four was more of the same. Too early it was boring, but when the villains came into the picture it was good. Perhaps the show needed the villains more or maybe less episodes so they wouldn't have those crappy episodes that turned people away.
-
sounds like a family trip to me..

i like it when all these "act"resses do nudity for DTV films..
by six demon bag
they think they are making a legit film and maybe it will be a sundance darling and hope it will lead them to oscar gold by taking these dark and gritty roles...but no it was not meant to be. i dont think jessica biel wouldve waited to show her assets if she knew it wouldnt make it in the theaters..
-
I thought he was screaming "Don't forget to take REVEEEEEEEENGE!!"
-
Reminded me of his high pitched screaming in Face/Off.
-
The UK edition is region free, has a better print, and carried over the extras from the 2-disc DVD.
-
Buying a lame release of Escape From NY? You're not helping the situation. AT ALL.
-
Started good and went to shit? No, no, it got better! For once characters didn't betray how they'd been set up, they didn't act dumb just to move the plot along. There weren't bizarre twists where suddenly a character had different motivations than he had last week, etc, weaknesses that plagued Season 3 and made it the worst of the series. And for once, the Heroes didn't get some vision of another terrible calamity in the future that they were trying to stop. Thank god they tried something different and gave us a charismatic villain whose motivations were kept secret until close to the end.
-
Why is it so consistently ugly and poorly chosen?

Best line from a movie ever (Humanoids from the Deep)...
by kentucky colonel
Wanna see my wood pecker?
Will it give me splinters? -
Maybe i'm wrong though, but i've seen kick-ass 5 times now and i hear "robin's revenge" everytime. Cages delivery in that scene is great but it isn't exactly clear (he is in pain after all and shouting over gunfire) It wasn't until second viewing that I realised he says "switch to kryptonite" so maybe i'm wrong about robin's revenge too?
-
aint that JAMES HORNER?
-
It was hard for me to understand his screaming, and when I heard revenge, my mind made the garbled yells work and came up with "Don't forget tto get REVEEEEENGE!" or something like that, in essence him admitting he's going to die but he wants to make sure she'll avenge him.
-
and isn't it Krypton Light? Cos you can actually buy Krypton Lights.
-
..without extras, I'm not sure it's worth the purchase.I'll hold on to my gatefold 2 disc special edition. atleast it had commentary from russell and carpenter not to mention the alternative opening sequence in which plisslen is captured.I'll atleast wait for the price to drop or buy a used copy from amazon.
-
http://outlawvern.com/2010/04/20/kick-ass/
-
rapist MonsterS FTW!!
-
no i can definitely hear an "N" in the scene..you can see it on youtube for clarification.
-
I love how the monster does one swipe and the girls boobs flop out. If a monster from the deep actually wanted to mate with a human girl it likley wouldn't give a shit about tits, it's really only human males that see tits as sexual. I'm not complaining though cause that scene at the end where the humanoid swipes Miss Salmon's top and she flops around with her juggs bouncing is a great childhood memory
-
Money-grubbing bastards, we're on to your little game! Well screw you, I ain't buying EFNY for a 4th time if there aren't extras. I hate that shit...
Time for my nap, I think -
Ruining the twist of the Ghost Writer (about the PM's missus being a spy and all that) was precisely what I set out to do. Why? Because I’m an asshole? No. Its because I don’t agree that the director should even be allowed to breath free air, let alone be making movies AND have AICN blowing up his ass for good measure. So if I’ve spoiled the film for enough people to harm the movies sale or rental revenue, so be it! Besides if you read around the Internet, the movies getting so-so reviews anyway so its not like Harry’s gushing reviews mean anything anyway. so you hope I die from the big C and AIDS? Get the fuck out of here! Its not like I went back in time and ruined the Empire Strikes Back twist about SPOILER*** Darth Vader being Luke Skywakers father*****END SPOILER******BTW I didn’t even watch the Ghost anyway I just read the synopsis on wikipedia!
-
I don't agree with it at all.
-
And blast the Sunshine score as loud as you can!
-
The failed 3D revival of 1983 involved gimicky flicks that are even worse without the 3D gimick - remember "Treasure of the Four Crowns"?
-
Time to be BANNED!
-
the only thing you did was expose yourself as a cockface.your justification that if you look hard enough you can find it is false..yes this is true, in these days you can do that, but going into a talkback and stumbling over some dickheads words is not the same as actively looking for the plots ending..poor call. i hope your mom was raped a leperous badger and before it pulled out, whispered roman polanskis name in her ear.
-
Methinks they changed the score during Big Daddy's Warehouse scene from having the original music from 28 Days Later (In A House-In A Heartbeat) to a "cover version". I swear it seems like the original played in the theatrical-version and was changed for the DVD. (You can even YouTube it)
Is this right? -
Makes more sense than "get revenge". "Now... Promise... Reveeeeeeengeah!!!"
-
That Miller's Crossing is. Hammy dialogue and acting, leaden pacing and atmosphere.. in short, a typical Sam Mendes joint.
-
Ineption, meaning: the lack of understanding or misunderstanding about Christopher Nolan’s Inceptionthey need to add a pic of harry to the definition too.
-
I'm sure Harry's talking about the Superman temp score that was in Kick-Ass, when it was shown at BNAT and his reference to Warner Bros (who own the rights to the Superman music)
-
amc is getting it today..i told him to watch it with subtitles..
-
Hitgirl will always be our little hit girl. But she going to grow up and we have to accept it. Years later she's at a bar legal age. She hears the Joan Jett song "Don't give a damn (about my reputation)". Tells her date "Thats my song!!" Quickly finds a couple of male jerks in the bar, walks up, kicks ass, goes back to her date, slams a tequila shot and says "God, I love that song!!"
-
As someone who is frequently defending Watchmen I can tell you that is basically maligned.

TheManWhoCan you're still a cockbag regardless of your view on p
by redbull_werewolf
I don't give a fuck if you disagree with what Polanski has done in the past. What about all the cast and crew of the film, they obviously would want people to see the movie and not have some ass clown ruin it on an AICN talkback.I for one am still going to see the movie even though you spoiled it and i'm sure many others feel the same way, which means you were a dick for no other reason then to just be a dick. Spoiling any movie is an asshole thing to do, it doesn't only apply to classics or sci-fi films, so your EsB annalogy is just retarded. Besides, Empire came out 30 years ago, thats a little different then shouting out the ending to a film that had a minimal theatrical release and just hit DVD last week
-
how any cast and crew from the US could willingly participate in one of that fuckhead's movies until he comes and pays his debt to our freaking society. He reaped the benefits of being a citizen, then he broke the law (as well as doing something just plain wrong). YOU PAY YOU PLAY, FUCKER. Can't wait til he makes the mistake of stepping on US soil.
-
and as he was walking past the next shows crowd waiting to see it, said in a loud voicen "Can you believe that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalkers fathter?" Course he did it w/o any intention of ruining the movie for others. That was Homer being Homer.
-
but the one for Vacation is so much worse. The original poster is great - why mess with perfection? Is designing Bluray covers some kind of make-work project for unemployed (and often talentless) graphic artists?
-
i think hes gotten past the idea of ever coming to america again..and why would he, bush and his cronys fucked this country hard.ive seen sound of music, hes living the glamourous life in swiss miss.
-
I doubt he ever will. The slimeball had his lawyers trying to parley for him to come back without getting arrested recently, and when he got word that there would have to be a trial he changed his plans. That kind of shit really pisses me off. America was cool when it made you very rich, but when he has to play by the same rules as everyone else in this country it's like "I'm rich, I can just fly away..."
-
"from the creators of tim burton's nightmare before christmas and the acclaimed director of alice in wonderland" eh? How about just "from the director of a nightmare before christmas"

Polanski is a great filmaker, thats why people want to work with
by redbull_werewolf
Regarless of how you feel about his past actions, you can't deny that he is a greatfilmaker and he obviously has support from many of his collegues and friends
-
I know why certain people do, I just don't respect Americans who work with him to better their own career. International film crew have nothing to do with the situation, and that's fine, but as far as I'm concerned there should be a US embargo against the shithead's movies until he pays what's owed.
-
Are likely why I have to wait too fuckin long to get Chinatown on blu ray. Get it motherphuckin done, Paramount! I want my Chinatown! (the Two Jakes can go fuck themselves, though - just give me CT).
-
What would be second? For Love of the Game? Better than Bull Durham?!? Ah, no. I could see giving the edge to Field of Dreams in Costner's baseball filmography (personally I don't, as the movie is really only tangentially about baseball, it's more about father-son relationships, but I can at least see it)--but to suggest For Love of the Game is better is laughable at best...unless there's some other superior Costner baseball movie I'm blanking on, it's not like I think about this stuff every day.
-
If it's any consolation there are 720p bootlegs floating around due to its broadcast on digital cable for the meantime.

Aug 10, 2010 10:41:28 AM CDT
didn't the girl want the charges droped a few years ago?
by redbull_werewolf
She forgave him and wanted the charges dropped, considering all the shaddy areas about the case (because it isn't black and white like haters seem to think) you think that once the "victim" said she wanted the charges dropped the courts would just say fuck it and stop wasting money and time with such a controversial case from 30 years ago. It seems to me that they are only still persueing it because of the attention it brings
-
Aug 10, 2010 10:43:12 AM CDT
THE UPSIDE OF ANGER is another baseball costner flick..
by six demon bag
he plays a baseball has been..not a bad flick either..
-
R. Kelly actually got off mostly due to the victim denying it was her on the tape. As a point, I think R. Kelly is actually really talented and am a big fan, but am not happy that he got off. Celebrities need to be taught lessons, too. Especially when it comes to using your fame to take sexual advantage of young girls.
-
Was what I thought of when I saw that review for BATTLETRUCK.
-
Come on Warner Bros. We didn't like your shitty clamp dvd covers and we don't like bad photoshop covers either. Those "Vacation" covers will keep me from buying your blu-rays. The original poster/cover art is iconic. Why fuck with perfection? You should be trying to get consumers excited about rebuying movies we already own. You should be trying to bring out the collector in us. Everything about a blu-ray should be an improvement: no shitty covers and no shitty transfers. And that goes for the rest of you fuckers too. 20th Century Fox, I'm talking to you, with your copy machine covers.
-
Tells Hit-Girl to 'switch to kryptonite' and that it's 'time for Robin's revenge'. This is consistent with him brainwashing her with comics, making her believe she's the hero in a living comic story. If you'll notice in the scene he decides it's time to go after the big boss, he tells her 'no more homework'. What is she reading? A comic.
-
Seriously? Yeah what he did was against the law, but even his "victim" has said multiple times she doesn't feel he should be prosecuted/persecuted. Plus, if you're going to go on the moral offensive in America these days, you can start by talking to Laurence Fishburne. He can tell you all about Kim Kardashian whoring herself out to a two-bit rap star so she could get famous from a sex tape, and how Larry's daughter has left his house because she wants to achieve fame in the same manner. Or you could talk to Ken Salazar, who was tasked by our President to clean up the Minerals Management Service, those responsible for giving companies like BP drilling permits, and who, under Bush Jr, provided drugs, prostitutes, and fabulous vacations to the executives of the very companies they were supposed to regulate. Mr. Salazar went in there and changed nothing, which indirectly lead to the permit that allowed BP to drill at Deepwater Horizon. Or the fact that, while being made to pay for the spill, is also receiving $300 million from the same Govt to build a power plant in California, and was given a permit to drill even deeper in the Arctic than they did in the Gulf, only this time with conditions that would prevent a spill cleanup as "quick" as the one we're seeing in the Gulf. Or you could even go to the site youporn.com, mentioned in a previous AICN aritcle, where the only age requirement to access loads of porn is the ability to hit the "Enter" button, so we know our kids can't access it. Then again, you could look at the NFL, which was supposed to be cleaned up under the direction of Roger Goodell, yet allows players with very public felony convictions to still play and make millions of dollars while more honest, law-abiding players don't make the cut. Seriously, there are plenty of much bigger fish to fry than whining about Polanski and a 30 year old case that even his supposed "victim" feels is pointless. Seriously, dude, get a grip.
-
that when people lower the bar then the bar should just stay permanently lowered then society must really be going the direction you like. I'd personally like to see things cleaned up.
-
this talkback has now been Polanski'd. No more movie talk.
-
Harry, Harry, Harry....I understand you've got thing for Raimi and a monster-sixed hard-on for James Earl Jones, but to say that Field of Dreams or For The Love of the Game are anywhere near the movie Bull Durham is....is...is sacrilege.
-
just pointing out - you taking the moral high ground really doesn't work when you're screen name is the combination of a drug reference and "satanic" numbers - kind of kills your credibility on judging others for their misdeeds
-
when it comes to statutory rape. Both the girl and Polanski admitted it happened. It does not matter if she forgives him, it's out of her hands.
-
i knew the PB wouldnt let me down.
-
has nothing to do with morals. It has to do with my "you play, you pay" attitude towards reaping the benefits of American capitalism. Seriously, the guy owes a debt to our legal system, not to mention money from the case that would go into our pitiful economy. He just plain owes the US something, on paper, legally, and refuses to pay it. Has nothing to do with my idea of morals.
-
Maybe they'd even let him off. The let Kelly off. But Kelly was not a coward, he stood trial. All I ask is that he stand trial.
-
I watched that scene specifically with subtitles b/c I just wasn't SURE what he said when I saw it in the theater. And Vaughn speaks to it in his commentary, stating how it's part of her 'programming'. So, I'm basically just regurgitating what the co-writer/director said.

Aug 10, 2010 10:59:15 AM CDT
Here's a quote from Samantha Gailey (Polanski's victim)
by redbull_werewolf
"he had sex with me. He wasn’t hurting me and he wasn’t forceful or mean or anything like that, and really I just tried to let him get it over with." She also claimed that the event had been blown all out of proportion." and heres another one: "Straight up, what he did to me was wrong. But I wish he would return to America so the whole ordeal can be put to rest for both of us." Furthermore, "I'm sure if he could go back, he wouldn't do it again. He made a terrible mistake but he's paid for it." Then there's the issue of Judicial misconduct by the trial judge and theres also evidence that upon initial inspection of the then 13 year old girl Doctors found that not only was she sexually mature but also willing to perform the actsShould Polanski have been fooling around with a 13 year old, of course not, but it is possible that the girl and her mother knew what was likley to happen and set him up, perhaps initially as some sort of extortion attempt but when the police and courts got involved it escalated into polanski fearing jail and fleeing the country. Bottom line is that he's not some Freddy Kruger type sexual predator, he made a mistake and the case is so full of grey areas that it's hard to make a reasonably conclusion
-
Was amazed to see Kim Catrall actually ACT in a movie. In fact, it took me a minute or two to actually realize it was her. I know this will be ignored at Oscar time, hopefully not Alexander Desplat's marvelous score.
-
Bought Kick-Ass yesterday. I love that movie. It was a actually a little bit better than the book. A little bit....
-
the details are for the proper professionals to go over. Not people on a DVD site trying to talk movies. Talking the politics of the situation of him not returning to the US is one thing, but the details of the statutory rape... leave it to the legal types he should be rightfully standing in front of. I'm not trying to decide his case, simply saying he should stand trial
-
disappeared shortly after Big Trouble In Little China - despite reports to the contrary, it has never been found
-
is because he has been on the lam for 30 years. Successfully hiding for 30 years does not make your case any better.
-
for smoking your "blunts", then you can talk about others' illegal activities and the punishments they deserve - I'm sorry but it just seems hypocritical
-
Now I have a medical card :)
-
he DID stand trial and was to be found guilty and his sentence was 30 days under evaluation..then the judge feeling pressure from outside influences and hoping to be reelected, changed his mind and was going to throw the book at him after the initial sentencing.polanski, catching wind of this, bolted. he was gonna be a martyr and a pawn in a corrupt judge political wantings.
-
I thought the recent parley decided that should he return he would face new sentencing
-
that makes you question his taste in movies. Harry, you actually liked the sequel to Vacation better than the original?? The introduction of Randy Quaid's Cousin Eddie & clan, James Keach as the patrolman, Christine Brinkley hotter than hot, John friggin Candy, I could go on and on and on...
-
even VEGAS..
-
Thanks.
I really wasn't pointing out Harry's complaint but my own.
I swear they changed the original version of that "28 Days Later" song to a cover-version for the DVD. -
I was looking forward to reading your take on it.
-
Click on subtitles, people.
-
was on the last column. He said he liked it better than the live action release on either side of it, that Warner Animation was on a tear, and that the PG-13 material is suitable for young and old if you use it to get certain conversations started between you and your children. Something like that.

by redbull_werewolf
2010 has been full of movies that will gain cult stautus over time. Kick-ass, Macgruber, Splice, hell even the losers has been a huge hit on DVD and Bluray and alot of people are starting to discover how fun a movie it is

if all parents trained their daughters to be like Hit-girl
by redbull_werewolf
then incidents like Polanski's would never happen
-
and he's got his "victim's" absolution. Neither makes them legal under Federal law. I'm not saying you should give up your weed, but I am saying that you can't advocate one illegal activity and then admonish someone else for another. That's pot and kettle, my friend.
-
the first one... flabbergasted.
-
haven't seen splice or losers, and kick ass I agree with you will grow on video, but dude, mcgruber sucked fetid donkey shit out of the ass of an Ass. sorry, but it did.

Yeah, who cares about his Inception review.
by sierratangofoxtrotuniform
It's yet another shitty move by the uncaring webmaster of this rapidly dwindling site. I don't see why anyone really cares about the only thing he puts a quarter of his effort into which are these so-called DVD reviews either. You can get more info on them on the goddamn backs of the covers. And now he's in charge of another site?? Jeez, did those guys even look at what little he does here anymore? Bad, bad business decision on their part, I tell ya.
-
...by the time a greenlight hits it.
*sigh* -
from what I heard it's called Balls to the Wall, and Mclovin's new costume came with a name change, as Red Mist became the Mother Fucker (seriously), and he will be the villain in the sequel. (Millar said originally he was going to call Mclovin's new character the Cunt, but his wife told him it was too crass so he's going with Mother Fucker instead)
-
There'd be a lot 12-14 year old boys missing digits or other body parts if daughters were trained like HitGirl.
-
Costner?? Um... no.
-
but taking the moral high ground on one crime while advocating another IS hypocritical and that's the point I'm making - your words against Polanski have no meaning when, in the same breath, you're exhaling a cloud of green smoke - judge not lest ye be judged and all that crap
-
I just said he has to play by the rules. I do.
-
I just said he has to play by the rules. I do.
-
if I ever did take a moral high ground it would be on rape or murder.
-
shouldn't he drive a Mercury COUGAR?
-
weed is decriminalized in a lot of places. Like where I live.
-
when I would get busted on weed. I would just pay the $50... not leave the country in a giant fuck you to our system.
-
Vacation is a comedy classic (so is christmas vacation)...european vacation...is not.
-
I certainly didn't move to America by choice. And I still play nicer.
-
Hardest i've laughed at a movies since Borat. It's not a great film, but as for laughs i found it to be a successful comedy. I'll be getting the bluray when it's releasedAnd yes the Kick-Ass sequel should be amazing, i just hope we get it soon,I hope it's vaugns project after x-men and it doesn't become one of those sequels that languishes in development hell for a decade
-
You're a fucking idiot. "Doctors found that not only was she sexually mature but also willing to perform the acts" - on the doctors?? Shut the fuck up, you sleazy piece of shit! And stop putting quotation marks around the word "victim". When you get drugged and fucked up the ass at age 13, yeah, douchebag, you're a motherfucking victim. Or is that how you spent the summer in boy scouts at that age?? How'd that feel? What the fuck is wrong with you. Stop making excuses for this midget frog pedo. It doesn't matter if the victim has forgiven him, he should come back and face the music. I don't even think he would do any time, but justice needs to be completed. But you're worse than him, accusing a 13 year old of being a whore and her mother of pimping her out so she could blackmail Polanski???? What fucking world do you live in? I've read some stupid shit on these boards, but, damn...
-
Rape is against the girl's will and by all means take the high ground. Statutory rape, though deplorable, is against the laws of government and the "victim" has said she was not bothered by it. Kind of like having a Medical Marijuana card. Though Gov. Terminator may let you do it, it's still against federal law. So, as with statutory rape, there's not a clear cut victim but it's still illegal. I don't really care if you smoke weed or not. But if you do, and advertise as such, then your opinion on another victimless crime is meaningless.
-
Thank you, I was starting to feel likt he asshole.
-
Thank you, I was starting to feel likt the asshole.
-
stopped federal busts of dispenceries when he took office. So that is the current federal position on enforcement. They sure as hell still federally enforce rape laws.

They DID review Twilight, guess they have to review Inception
by flip63hole
Seems to be the same group of fans and they've read a lot into both of the mindless piles of drivel... But hey, generic characters fight in low gravity in a generic dream world. Must be a great movie...
-
that got way out of hand under the Bush/Cheney dictatorship, but he never made it legal, just said Govt agents had more important things to do. It's still illegal at the federal level, which supercedes all state and local laws. I'm not saying statutory rape is okay. I put quotes around the word "victim" because, though the law calls her one, she herself does not feel that way. And she is who matters in the case. My only point to you was to stop talking about others facing the laws they broke when you yourself openly break the law. In other words, don't be a hypocrite.
-
in the dispencerie/medical marijuana system right now it was most certainly NOT stopped because of being "unimportant." MILLIONS of dollars in Cali alone. It was stopped because IT IS A VALID, HARMLESS MEDICINE THAT DOES NOT CAUSE DIARHEA, VOMITING, OR MAKE YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS EXPLODE.
-
I am horrible at spelling.
-
she has been quoted many times in recent years saying that it's not a big deal, that she herself feels the charges should be dropped - if you've ever known a victim of rape you'd know that, even 30 years later, they would want that sick motherfucker to pay - her not wanting that tells me that the people who had a problem with it were outside of her and Polanski - I don't agree with what he did, in fact I agree with you guys that it is reprehensible - my whole point has been that one criminal really has no right to talk about how other criminals should be punished
-
Then she should become a proper official and then it might be up to her. Until then, WE HAVE FREAKING RULES
-
He had a small role in that film that wasn't memorable, noteworthy, or even funny (and I don't blame him for any of that, it was just a thankless cameo). That plus Hot Tub wasn't really a big hit, not sure how you can connect the dots on that.
-
She's 40-something years old now! Of course she doesn't see herself as a victim any longer, I'm glad for her. She's married with kids and living in Hawaii. But when he was sodomizing her against her will as a child, the term completely applied. Go back and look at pictures of her at that age. People use the term statutory rape for when the girl is 16 or 17 and fairly sexually mature and the act is absolutely consensual, but still against the law. Not when you cornhole a drugged 13 yeard old.
-
ALSO make millions of dollars in Cali alone - he didn't stop those busts - he stopped the marijuana ones because the federal government, while tied up in two wars as well as a miasma of shitstorms on our own soil, doesn't really have the time or resources to bust something the states themselves won't help in - what he didn't do is make marijuana legal - the day he does that I'll toke up right beside you - until then, however, you ARE doing something that is illegal under federal law, which makes you a poor crusader against other lawbreakers
-
What gives you the right to be all high and mighty, the Polanski case has never been a one sided argument. furthermore, we aren't discussing the actual act we are discussing the Law surrounding the act, and when it comes to the law there is far too much evidence to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt. Even the "victim" has admitted this, thats why she wants the charges droped
-
was in Snow Day. Don't ask why I saw that (nevermind, I will tell you, it is because it was written by the creators of The Adventures Of Pete & Pete and takes place in Wellsville. Ah the 90's.)
-
I can only guess at what happened the day that Harry saw "European Vacation" to make him love it more than the original, but either way I'm glad he didn't go in depth to tell us what it was. The film itself is so far below the original as to be painful. As for Costner baseball films, I'd put Bull Durham at #1, then Field of Dreams, then Upside of Anger, then For Love of the Game.
-
also say what you're doing is illegal - perhaps YOU should be persecuted
-
Hi, I'm Chris Hanson with Dateline... What are doing here? Why are you naked? Why did you bring beer?
gfy -
they day they stop enforcing rape laws because it is inconvenient for them I will concede to your stupid ass point
-
dude, weed is still not like rape... no matter how many times you compare them
-
I guess we're not getting through to these fucking idiots. We might as well give up and light up a fattie.
-
Aug 10, 2010 11:55:34 AM CDT
Did I misread Harry? He thought Hanks was good in Road..?
by kravmaguffin
Or did he mean woefully miscast, kinda like when he played Robert Langdon...ijs
-
I wouldn't put it above Durham or Field, but I DO have a soft spot for that film because it reminded me of Nolan Ryan, and it had Kelly Preston, one smokin hot scientologist - on a side note, anyone ever see the interviews John C Reilly did for For Love of the Game, where all he could talk about was what a douche Costner was on set and how he would never work with that man again? A lot of people seem to feel that way about Costner (same with Val Kilmer).
-
Also, I am sorry for flooding this talkback fellow movie lovers
-
Shit, If such a sequel was made in which a Pedoski-esque character would get his ass handed to him, I would pay upwards of $25.00 for admission.$50.00 for the 3D version.
-
I think you guys are "victims" of extreme stupidity.
-
I Really fucking hate people like you who declare every movie that bombed at the theater as later becoming "cult hits" on dvd. Fuck MacGruber and Fuck Your Stupid Ass logic.
-
thinking that your criminal activity is cool, and therefore i's okay for you to comment on other's illegal activities - the only "victims" are those that have to put up with that kind of hypocritical bullshit
-
I'M ADDICTED TO BONG HITS... GET ME TO REHAB
-
If anything has revived his career it's been that show, not a small part in HttM.and also yes Macgruber will be a cult classic, in 10 years people will still be talking about it and checking it out for the first time
-
people will be talking about Mcgruber the same way they talk about Hot Rod, It's Pat, Stuart Saves His Family, the Coneheads, and countless other examples as to why Saturday Night Live just ain't funny, and hasn't been in a long, long time
-
that movie is fucking hillarious, I watch the bluray at least once every few months
-
Yes, Chase is a blast on Community as the clueless/sexist/racist rich white guy. The Halloween Beastmaster episode is the funniest thing he's done in years...no, decades.
-
With the exception of Eric Idle's accident prone, excessively polite Brit, European Vacation flat out SUCKED, trading up the zip of the original with comedy as grey and lifeless as the European backdrops...many of which I've been to since, and as opposed to how they appeared onscreen, they're fucking beautiful. Turns out European Vacation did the impossible, making some of the beautiful sites in the world look like shit, while turning Chevy Chase (one of the funnniest guys on the planet at the time) into a hack.
Oh yeah, and when you're making a movie about a family on a road trip for 90 minutes, it's probably a good idea to cast kids who you actually don't want to kill within the first 30 seconds of said road trip. Loved Anthony Michael Hall and the actress playing his sister in Vacation, but the dorky red- headed geek and chubby, sausage- obsessed sister in E.V. were two of the most unwatchable people I'd seen onscreen. When they got to the Eiffel Tower, all I was wishing was that they'd tumble off of it.
It was one of the first times I remember being disappointed in a movie theatre, especially following the very fresh and funny first installment, some of which is still quotable today.

on what good TV happens to be out there. I read the talkbacks and DVD column and am constantly trying to catch up on movies. My only TV plans right now are to catch Walking Dead from the beginning. The currently-running stuff will have to wait for TV-on-DVD
-
Actually, UNDER THE MOUNTAIN is not a remake of ESCAPE FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN, it is a remake of a 1981 New Zealand miniseries which was based on a novel by Maurice Gee. The miniseries was broadcast in the US as part of Nickelodeon's sci-fi series THE THIRD EYE.
-
...the ending is my least favorite bit, but overall, I think it's great.
And my three year old has been obsessed with it for the past few weeks, so it must be doing something right. -
I seriously need that Errol Flynn War Movie set. There's a couple in there I've never seen. "Humanoids From the Deep" and "Piranha" are must buys. Finally, some great DVD material!
-
...just a matter of time I guess.
-
European Vacation sucked ass. And it didn't have Wayne Newton! "Holy Sh*t! Wayne Newton's hitting on mom!" The best!
-
that the movie's based on a book by Robert Harris?'Cause you've just spoiled the ending to that too.

Polanski Oscar wins = 1, THE_CHOPPAH Oscar wins = 0

How do you like them apples,asshole

I'm at work dude. You know I've been madly in lust with that space vampire chick my whole life- why do you do this to me? Note to women: let it grow a bit

Watched the special segment on the history of Robin and coming apocalypse DVD. DC really does a nice job with the add ons. Back to the hood, Nightwing has a great line. Talking to bats he says:Know why I like teaming with you? The toys!! Hope expendables is as fun the hood DVD is so far.
-
Fact
-
I totally agree, Polanski deserves three taps to the head, not even more dollars (delievered through AITN). Now I don't even have to rent GW. And to the idiot who quotes the victim, laws are in place not just to see justice done on behalf of the victim but, more importantly, to protect society as a whole. And speaking about holes, as much as the victim claims 'he wasn't hurting me', her actual testimony indicates she resited and was indeed 'pained'. What 13-year old girl wouldn't experience pain being anally raped?
-
Wimpy Kid was awesome...that's right , I said it, watched it with my kids and again without them...zoooooey mama!!!!! Suck it haters LOL

"Cameron confirms he is producing Guillermo del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness. The movie will be shot in native 3D using next generation FUSION 3D cameras from Pace. The project came up only 2 or 3 weeks ago when Cameron asked about if del Toro was still interested in it. As del Toro was clearly excited to do it, Cameron said 'let's do it.' They took it to Universal with both of them attached to the fast tracked project and now it looks like it will be going in the 2nd quarter of 2011."

Came the last night of talkback
And it was clear that you couldn't go on
When the site was open and His Name appeared
The shitty ads shimmered then disappeared
The talkbackers shivered when HE appeared...
saying "YOU'RE ALL AFRAID!"
All you babies...and you quaked in fear!
You all ran from him...
and you don't know why!
You shit your britches and cry and cry!
You can't become like CHOP is!
You've been pwned by mighty hands...
You can't become like CHOP is!
You're all babies..who fear THE_CHOPPAH!!! -
I wrote her a fan letter after falling in love with her in HAIR - definitely the movie to see if you want to see her at her cutest and nudest, haha...and, PS, a fucking masterpiece of a musical - and she called me after she got it. You can imagine my reaction, there was a lot of stuttering. She was very sweet to me and mentioned me in a magazine article after that. She was a wild thing back then - if I hadn't lived in Colorado, who knows, maybe I would have gotten a much better anecdote out of it.
-
is there any site with sales/rents figures which support this? i really really want for the the movie to go well in the home cinema medium so that we can get a new sequel.
-
So your point Choppah about winning an oscar making it Ok to "rape" someone is kind of moot. If anything you could say that if you "rape" someone then its ok to win an Oscar. However saying it the other way like you did makes you look like a retard
-
How goes it, Lord Chop? Fellas?
-
this article from Salon.com expresses completely my opinion about this matter.Read it,it makes some very good and valid arguments:
http://bit.ly/dzTqwN -
awesome
-
Over 50 percent of it's home video sales were on bluray, It was number one on it's week of release and has stayed in the top 5 since. I'm not sure the exact sales figures but It's safe to say that WB is happy about how it's performing on DVD/BlurayWe can only hope a sequel gets made
-
Armageddon is drawing closer when trolls get songs....ehhhhhhh.
-
"And at the end of days will come a man that walks like a man, looks like a man, but is not a man."--Book of Revelation 5:19But that ain't THE CHOPPAH, dig? He's ALL man, brother!
-
i am asking because i am searching for a site which provides news about the performance of movies when they get released in dvd/bluray format.I think boxofficemojo is only for the movie theaters sales.
anyway its really go that Losers are doing well in dvd.finger crossed that they will make a sequel. -
Someone on your mental level...oh wait 13? Nope, she is still smarter than you are dipshit.
-
... I'd Polanski her brains out.
-
They usually give the bluray to DVD sales ratio and the over all sales figures for the week but they don't break it down by title, just overall home media sales figues. It's a pretty nice site, I'm over 250 Blurays now and I visit the site once a day to see new Bluray info
-
Ewwwww...that's disgusting
-
A priest raped him in the butt when he was 30. Something tells me THE_CHOPPAH was a little willing on that one though and didn't put up much of a fight
-
Moving on. Am I the only one disgusted by how they found a way to mention Burton and Alice in Wonderland on the cover for James and the Giant Peach? That's a new low for marketing. Like playing six degrees of seperation to get another movie's name on the cover. It's like trying to promote Ratner's X-men 3 and saying: "Starring Hugh Jackman from The Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan, the genius behind THE DARK KNIGHT! Please buy X-men 3 because we mentioned THE DARK KNIGHT!" Lame.
-
and it fucking sucked. This is not a layered mystery filled with intrigue. I don't know how anyone can get that notion. It was a silly premise with a poor cast to say the least. Kim Catrall with an English accent? Seriously? The fuck. That fucking pedo ought to shoot himself for this shitty excuse of a movie. As well as for raping a little girl. Bomb Switzerland NOW.
-
What a handsome film The Ghost Writer was. Just so handsome. A handsome Oscar-calibre film. Handsome too.
-
Is the DVD widescreen? Amazon says 4x3. Ugh. & Shout Factory did the Corman reissues; I believe RC had very little to do with the (awesome & ample) extras. The new discs are great, by the way!
-
By the way, I love this column! Keep it up! & it warms my heart to know you're handling FM online. So cool.

The greatest part of the comics was the origin of Big Daddy. That he was pretending to be a hero cop but in fact was a loser accountant who spilled his guts before getting his head blown off... that was the most original and compelling thing I read all year. The point of the book was outcasts playing at hero and getting crushed by their efforts. And the magic of the book was how the obsession created two "actual" heroes with meta-human abilities. "Nobody can be Batman because nobody puts in the work." "I did." Just brilliant. When the movie made Big Daddy an ACTUAL hero cop it showed the screenwriter had no clue about the source material. Giving him a hero's death compounded that. I guess movie audiences aren't ready for anything as bleak as the comic. But you can't appreciate the glory of Hit Girl if you don't go through that dark journey. Making the villains morons and adding jet packs and mini-guns added insult to injury. I don't think I've been more disappointed with a movie since Highlander 2.

Lord only knows why it got the name change for the States (was the book called THE GHOST WRITER too?).

2011 is looking to be a great year for us. Probally break all box office records. We have: Thor, Cap, Lantern, Mountain. Can it get any better? Cap is only one I'm worried about.
-
She'll bring pain to Pedanski's world like no other.
-
Epic return of Zooey D.

I'm an athiest and all Preists are child molesters, But Choppah defends them because his confused brain can't distinguish love from Pedophile lust

Or vice versa. Let's play it by ear.

Didn't stop the latest movie version of Alice in Wonderland from making a bazillion dollars, sadly. God, that film was a mess. Should have given it to Polanski. Seriously, I'd kill to watch Polanski's Alice. I really enjoyed The Ghost Writer. Roman's still got it.
-
The movie was pretty underrated. Chris Evans in particular was hilarious and the entire cast felt like a team. I can't speak on The Expendables yet, but hope that it has teamwork like Losers did.
-
I like that too.
-
Like Watchmen failed to find an audience.
-
A crime is still a crime. Doesn't matter wtf the victim says now that she's had time to put it behind her. She just doesn't want any more attention put to it is all. So stop using that as some sort of defense of the man.

It's not just the frogs that don't care about "rape"
by redbull_werewolf
Seriously americans are the most fucked up country on the planet, they have such fucked up morals it's ridiculous. You can show a guy getting shot 50 times on TV but you can't say fuck or show tits..WTF
-
You guys can play with it if you like.
-
Just wanted to weigh in on the subject since I am a personal Friend of roman's. He admitted that what took place was wrong, and despite popular belief he did not flee the US because he was not willing to pay for his crime. He fled because the trial juge was corrupt and after issuing a sentance of phychiatric treatment and restitiution to the victim he decided to alter that and seek jail time because of pressure from the media. Roman fled a corrupt judicial system not the puinishment for a crime. I've known the man for decades and i've worked with him on several films, he deserves to have the case droped due to court error and be allowed to move on with his life
-
Get DJ Qualls to screentest for Polanski tho.
-
I'm just saying is all
-
Team has to storm swiss chalet to capture Roman Polanski and put him on american soil. Tagline of movie: Get him to the CHOPPAH!!
-
Or is Harry taking your dictation these days? Damn, but that's some illiterate shit you're posting.
-
Kim Cattral IS englishAnd I couldn't give a fuck if Polanski likes the younger look, if you think he's the only one in the Art world who does, you must be ignorant.
-
Marlon Brando Fucked Jackie Collins when she was 15, I'm sure theres many more before since and will continue.
-
She wasn't tied down and forced, It's statutory rape at best, she was willing and polanski's only crime was that she wasn't 18, not that he assaulted her. Hell if he had married her there wouldn't even be an issue, you would all call it love
-
...look, I did my wife in pigtails too, but actually being 13 isn't a look.
-
Don't you worry none about that.
-
...of all the fucking typos...
-
If i didn't knew what LITTLE WOMEN was about, i would think that was a creepy horror movie about murdering girls. What were the people who made that poster thinking?

It's pretty good. Didn't catch it in 3D but still entertaining nonetheless.

...of champagne, remove the wire cage and foil, shove it up his ass until the glass bottom of the bottle is just visible in the stretched orifice...then shoot it with Javier Bardem's pneumatic bolt-pistol from NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.
Justice is served. -
Local radio DJ "Rich Allen" was arrested in DC at hotel where he was going to do a fantasy rape of like a 13 year old boy. He set it up online with boys "father" that he was ok with doing and so was the boy. Allen was on vacation with wife and plan was for him to leave for a few hours so he could the rape scenario. Fortunately it was a sting and he was arrested. Doing a rape scenario with an underage boy while on vacation with the wife? WTF? Jackie Gleason had a great line in Smokey and the Bandit when he was talking to teen boys about jerking off. He said: THINK about it but DONT do it.
-
for next movie: Hunt for Roman Polanski
-
I did! But the 3D one was #4. I actually saw it in 3D @ the theatre & thought it was pretty fun...gory, unapologetic mousetrap-like silliness. I've actually dug the sequels more than the first.
-
Inpetion.... that's hysterical!
-
then you should have a problem with all the people he has worked with, cause if they can work with him, then they must condone that kind of shit.
-
Yeah it was pretty cartoonish gore of course but fun. Very tongue in cheek stuff. I'm not a fan of gore and torture porn but this was just a silly popcorn movie.
-
Man, i'm going to use that in the future, Ineption.
-
Sure, I'd go see that. Why not
-
#2 & #3 are probably the most fun (absolutely ridiculous deaths/scenarios) & they don't take themselves seriously. I'm w/you on torture porn...always hated it & hopefully it's run its course. And gore was always more creative & fun before they started CGing the hell out of it. It doesn't need to look that real!
-
That's so sweet.

If they're NOT like the Saw movies I'm game. I quite liked the first one but didn't think sequels were gonna be any good. Thanks for the tip!

Boom, problem solved and maybe the choppah will kill himself over all that wasted time

He was born in France but he's polish. Ask him what he is, and he will reply polish. He is polish. And dude, i like you, but one more xenophobic coment about France and you'll go into THE_CHOPPAH territory, and that's ugly. Xenophobia sucks, even regarding France.

Sold!

try to watch the final destination films drunk off your ass..that always helpsoh..and watch them with children and then when people start dying in horrific ways, whisper into their ears..THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU DONT LISTEN TO DADDY..3 has a slight edge over 2 strictly for the tanning salon scene..nudity + death= win!
-
Possibly one of the greatest comedies ever. And them National Lampoon covers are fucking awfull.
-
That says a lot.
-
but either way both wanted sex with someone as young as the victims. I might make stupid jokes about it but ugggh!! How can someobody actually do it? I mean I work part time clothing retail and see girls of all ages who really are attractive but I never go down the path those guys did. I just can't understand how some people can do the things they do, not just Polanski or the perv I mentioned.
-
And "xenophobic" is a touch harsh for an off-the-cuff jibe attempting to defuse some of the oddly homo-eroticised anal fantasies round here.
-
I have it and haven't watched it yet, is it worth a watch?

"you have a problem with polanski then you should have a problem with all the people he has worked with, cause if they can work with him, then they must condone that kind of shit."And that includes Ennio Morriconne, who scored his film FRANTIC. So, if the anti-Polanski put their money where their mouth is, they should stop having anything to do with any movie that Ennio worked in, including the Dollars Trilogy. And what about Harrison Ford, who stared in FRANTCI as well? The anti-Polanskis them should also give up on any movie where Harrison Ford stared in, which includes the Indianan Jones and the Star Wars saga. This people should put their money where their mouth is and not only terminate any involvement in those movies, but also in birningtheir entire collection of DVD and CDs that has anything to do with any movie made by Ford and Morricone. Let see them have such moral integrity and do that. Fucking hypocrites!

Those movies had awesome painted posters. Whatever 20 year old fuck in marketing came up with these needs to be fired.

Let peace reign all through AICN.

and you complained about Kim Catrall with an English accent, she is English you know? But yea is the plot not that intricate and layered then? And yea Leo it is a tough choice choosing Hughes' best movie, but PL&A has the right mix of comedy and warmth for me.
-
The movie we should really be worried about is NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VATICAN.
-
The anti-Polanskis should also give up on SLIENS because Sigourney Weaver stared in DEATH AND THE MAIDEN, a Polanski movie. I'd really love to see the anti-Polanskis dare give up on everything to do with ALIENS, i really would, i would pay to watch their suffering form their dilemma. also, they should start hating Jonnhy Depp and anything he has done right now, because he stared in THE NINE GATE. God,i really would love to see the anti-Polanksis jackasses treally try to put their money where their mouth is and act on what they preach. I'd pay money to see that show.

So have the anti-Polanski people boycotted Johnny Depp also?
by mattmanreturns
Cuz he worked with him too, and respected him. So I'm going to guess the anti-Polanskis have never seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Pirates of the Caribbean, or Nightmare on Elm Street. If you have, you're hypocrites.
-
He wanted his audience to have more than 10 people.
-
Outstanding!! Gotta go folks.

by asimovlives
Matthau stared in Polanski's movie PIRATES! Really, the fucking anti-Polanskis have not thought this shit through, have they?
-
more of a pounding than....well you guys can finish the rest.

Get outta here. I gotta google this.
-
Morgans fucking his GRANDAUGHTER and Brando fucked Jackie Collins at 15 and no doubt others and younger, so why not boycott all them?

You watch Raiders Of The Lost Ark again, you will be a fucking hypocrite. You cannot cherrypick on this, asshole. Put your money where your mouth is or fuck off.
-
from my neck of the shithole
-
Let's see...we've got Polanski, Polanski, Polanski, Polanski, The Losers and Polanski. I don't like Polanski! Okay, there's Polanski, Polanski, Polanski, Polanski, Polanski, Final Destination and Polanski, there's not a lot of Polanski in that....
-
... no more "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" for you EVER!! Deal with it! Act on what you say or get fucked, you fucking hypocrites!
-
= Fucking hypocrites who deserve derision and insult for the rest of their fucking lives. Fuckers!

I recall you watched that Polanski docu in another related TB, can you recall the name of it? I remember watching it and it gave me a fresh view on the case, although I remember alot of arguing about the credibility of it or something afterwards?

We finally got the anti-Polanskis by their balls. Let seem then act on what they preach. That will be a riot! We got them by their balls. They are fucked now.
-
That has to be a new record. Wasn't it just in theaters?
-
lets not forget avatar too..and since cameron is willing to work with somebody who worked with polanski, then HES A FUCKING SUSPECT!! burn all of camerons films too. and since arnie works with cameron, no more conan flicks!!!
-
The documentary is called "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired".
-
Really---has anyone seen the DVD? Still curious if 4x3 is the aspect ratio. & is Paramount ever going to issue the rest of the F13 flicks on Blu? Would love to get 4 & 6 (the best of the sequels, IMHO)
-
And don't forget, any movie that was made by anybody associated with Harrison ford as well. Which means, no ALIEN too because that movie has the double whapmmy of staring Sigourney Weavver and directed by Ridley Scott who worked with ford in BLADE RUNNER. It's a real SIX DEGREES OF SEPERATION OF ROMAN POLANSKI.
-
RAIDERS OF THE YOUNG ASS, ANAL DESTINATION, YESS, OLIVER TWISTED, THE PAEDOPHILIST, BITTER MOM, THE FEARLESS TEENAGE FUCKERS, GREASE, ROMAN HOLIDAY, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINATOWN. Oh, you get the idea.

but you are VERY excited about that handful of balls you got there. ;)

Only an AsimovLives deals in absolutes. Because he's a cunt.
by scottpilgrimfan_and_thechoppah_tongued_m
Seriously douche, there is a fucking short circuit somewhere in that head of yours.
Seek psychiatric immediately help or better yet...........
Take that.357 magnum you threaten your family with every night in a drunken rage at 3AM, put the barrel in your mouth, and pull the trigger.
-
... you hypocrite anti-Polanski fucks, the end.
-
Like Coppola, he's a brilliant filmmaker who's best days are long behind him.No judgment here regarding his past actions. Just an observation.
-
but I think it just proves you can't trust anything you read and hear about this case anymore.
-
Nice try tring to get your ass out of your predicmtment, hypocrite. Where's you the anti-Polanskis who were so happy in dealing qwith absolutes before? Now that it's turned agaisnt you, it's no longer fun anymore? Absolutes are now a bad thing? Set, match and game, you hypocrite fucks. Game over.
-
would you employ charles manson or mark david chapman after their time served?do you think people would come to your business if you did?actors who work with him should hold him accountable for his actions, and if THEY dont, then WE as human beings should hold THEM accountable through association.

I respectfully suggest we avoid overt politics (e.g., liberal shitbags; conservative psychos). "That way madness lies..."

THE ONLY ONE I WOULD REGRET BOYCOTTING IS KIM CATTRALL

I loves me my Sex and the City. I knew she was Canadian but not British. I learned something today. Very cool. Still, her English accent sucked in GW. Really distracting.
-
Wel,, this would be us talkign about movies, wouldn't it? Instead of what happens whenever the name Roman Polanksi shows up. But now we have the anti-polanksi by the balls, they are fucked now. After dealing in absolutes which was so convinient for them, now that they have their shit turned on them, they now resent being treated in absolutes too. Fucking hypocrites. They are finished now. About fucking time too. Fucking hypocritical asses!
-
youwatch according to jim cause sarah palin tells you to.

Yeah, i might. Because right now, they are mine! their balls are belong to me, and i'm going to put out their fire with GASOLINE!

The only absolute is that you are a fucking hypocrite troll fuck. As certain as gravity.

I'm no hypocrite. I love Polanski. As do you Asimov......
by scottpilgrimfan_and_thechoppah_tongued_m
methinks you doth protest to much, cunt.
-
So you didn't see anything Harrison Ford did after Frantic... right?
-
and for the record I have no problem with Polanski, the dude needs to be forgiven and start making movies in America again
-
near him during the filming of OLIVER TWIST??was it all second unit or what?hey, alfie, pour the porridge all over your chest and lenny--you lick it off of him! CUT! lets do it again!
-
No, i'm just having fun on the hypocrisy of the anti-polanskis fucks. This shit is beyond fun!
-
You fucking fruitcake. You have nobody by the balls. God help you to ever have a civilized debate with anyone. You're a raving lunatic.
-
I wanna know how much of a hypocrite you are.
-
Are you not entertained, you anti-polanski hypocrite fucks? I sure am entertained, so why aren't you too? Why so serious?
-
nope i refuse to.i didnt even buy the holy tilogies when they came out on dvd so he wouldnt get royalties.and i stopped watching brothers and sisters when calista flockheart married him
-
you win this round. But that last bit of the post I was referring to really is FUNNY AS HELL if taken out of context: "We got them by their balls. They are fucked now." Imagine the looks you would have gotten in the 'real world' if someone just sort of stumbled up on the end of that rant. Priceless.
-
calm the fuck down..you posted twice demanding an answer like you general chang or something.
-
One of the thigns that brings me much fun is to thrown back at the iidots their own attitude and weapons and lack of argumentatuion bullshit tactics. I can't help but have a blast with that. I do nothing but hold a mirror to the bulshiters' bullshit. If they don't like what they see, they are only watchign themselves eflected back at them. Serve them right, the fuckers. How i love this! To feed back the bullshiters with their own bullshit.
-
So you never saw Last Crusade or The Fugitive? And you didn't see anything with Depp since Ninth Gate? I bet a quick scan of some other talkbacks would easily call bullshit on that bullshit.
-
I'll probably take alot of stick for this but, I think it started as "consensual but begrudging" sex, the like's of which happens day in day out, then the girl started saying "No" probably just when he submitted the anal question, Polanski, nearly finished just couldn't stop himself, which of course then turns into rape. He's a dickhead, he like's the young look as that chick from The Golden Child made claims, but a Pedophile I don't think he is. A dickhead, and an ephebophiliac yes, but that just dosen't roll of the tounge as well as "Pedanski" sorry guy's.
-
But Asi's posts are like a bucket of cold water. Thanks a lot.
-
they put his face and his show seems to be pretty popular, why didnt they put his name? i mean Juliette Lewis is now the has been, her band is playing here soon or already has recently. thats a sign you've made it big, playing a small crappy bar in a lame canadian city. :P
-
but no cigar, trool-boy. now start throwing your Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Star Wars and Aliens DVDs to the trash, you fucking hypocrite. Start it right now!
-
I saved you an embaracement in a public place, you should thank me, ingrate boy.
-
She's from Canada. jeez people.

my posts above are to emphasize the hypocrosies of many people demanding polanskis nuts and head.i have no problem with him, therefore i have no problem with the actors hes worked with..except walter matthau..that guys an asshole.of course ive seen INDY 3. dont be dense.asi and i are saying if you are condemning his man and calling for a boycott, then you NEED to go the full nine and boycott the films of all the people hes worked with..and all the films that those people have worked with.do you see the lunacy yet?
-
But lived in Canada from 3 months to about 11 years old. Then back to Canada. She's got UK, Canadian and American citizenship. Probably a smuggler with all those passports.
-
You hate JJ Abrams. Right? I mean, the way you've been rabidly attacking him you would think he raped a little girl or worse.
Does that mean you're going to boycott every movie the cast of New Trek appears in? What kind of logic is that? It's not logical is what that is.
So no, you're not throwing anybody's bullshit back in their face. You're just ranting. So do you get the picture? -
My bad. Sorry for the General Chang stuff. DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION!
-
There is a significant difference between having sex with a post-pubescent teenager (even a young one) and a pre-pubescent child. At 13, most girls are more or less fully developed physically.Note, I am not defending Polanski's indefensible crime--I'm just noting that attraction to post-pubescent individuals is not pedophilia.Polanski is--scientifically speaking--an ephebophile. That's wrong and should be a crime--but it's simply not the EVIL that pedophilia is.
-
gold! Myself, I never had a big problem seperating artist from art. I still love me some Mel Gibson films, though he's a nutter (but quite possible GOADED into some of his rants); a lot of musicians are total douches...I mean I bet Gene Simmons or Ozzy Osbourn NEVER had sex with underage girls, right? Now, if Polanski started making shit that glorified the behavior he engaged in, that'd be a different story altogether. But so far, he hasn't (that I've seen). Hell, the last Polanski joint I saw was Ninth Gate, and I hated that movie. Now Kip Winger....he's a douche. 'She's only seventeen', huh? Then keep 'em zipped Kip.
-
They have every right to dislike the guy.
-
I quit. Ya'll have fun.
-
Don't forget that Thomas Kretschmann stared in THE PIANIST as well, which later also stared in DOWNFALL. It means that movie is also made by a bunch of people who sanctioned paedophilia as well. See? See what this is going to? It never ends. The anti-polanskis hypocrites are fucked.
-
Ephebophilia should be a crime in CERTAIN circumstances. Big difference between a 13 year old and a 19 year old developmentally of course. In Polanski's case, because of his power/fame position, the crime was made even worse.
-
They have the right to dislike Polasnki if they are a bunch of fucks. It's their constitutional right to be the fucks as much to their heart's desire.
-
and it was you who was so interested in the age of concents in my country and Spain. Jeee, i wonder why! The younger the better, fuck face?
-
Youm know one thing i really despise? The misuse of the meaning of a word for the sake of a lame pun. Unlike what's kewl and hip today, i still give a lot of importantce of what a word really means. Wise up, man! This is too low for you, don't go there! Don't go there!

-
FUCK TARANTINO!!
-
the man is a rapist. He drugged and raped a 13 year old girl. Sure, it would've been worse if she had been pre-pubescent--but you could make the same argument for any rape case. I mean, he raped her anally.Talented (even genius) filmmaker or not--he should pay for that heinous crime. I try not to judge others (seriously), but I've little sympathy for rapists.
-
19 years old are adults, man! There's nothing ephebophiliac about having sex with a 19 years old, she is an legally emanicipated adult already. If she is still dumb like a teenager, that's another matter.
-
Who made a lame pun? You're so confusing.
-
Aug 10, 2010 4:09:11 PM CDT
and since theres a rumor about tarantino directing THE SHADOW
by six demon bag
im not seeing that film either, regardless of who directs it!
-
That's the gfuj of the thing, for a while it was so fun for the anti-polanskis to dwell in absolutes... until their shit got thrown at their face. Now it's not so clear cut anymore, is it? This is what hypocrisy rreally is. and they are getting a taste of their own medicine now. Teach them right. and no kicking and screaming will make any difference. they are getting teached them a lesson they should had already had learned if they had at least two working braincells. I fell no sorry for those fucks. Stupidity, specially DELIBERATE STUPDITY, is one thing i have absolutly no tolerance for.
-
You made a lame pun. Really, fucking up word's true meaning for the sake of a lame pun, that's bad shit.
-
ephebophiliacs are sexually attracted to teenagers, whether 13 or 19. And I never said that having sex with a 19 year old was against the law.My major point was that Polanski is not a pedophile.
-
Who insults EVERY PERSON, actor or crew member, who has ever worked with JJ Abrams, regardless of their talent or craft ability. Its startling.
-
In an effort to preserve her anonymity, Geimer's attorney arranged a plea bargain which Polanski accepted, and, under the terms, five charges from the indictment were to be dismissed.[63] On 8 August 1977,[64] Polanski entered a plea of guilty to Charge III of the indictment, Unlawful Sexual Intercourse, in violation of California Penal Code § 261.5, a charge which is synonymous under California law with statutory rape.[63][65] The judge, Laurence J. Rittenband, received a probation report and psychiatric evaluation, both indicating that Polanski should not serve jail time.[66] In response, the filmmaker was ordered to a 90-day psychiatric evaluation at Chino State Prison.[67]
On 28 January 1978, Polanski was released after undergoing the in-prison psychiatric evaluation, serving 42 days.[68] Despite expectations and recommendations that he would receive only probation at sentencing, the judge "suggested to Polanski's attorneys" that more jail time and possible deportation were in order.[65][69] Upon learning of the judge's plans Polanski fled to France on 1 February 1978, hours before he was to be formally sentenced.[61] As a French citizen, he has been protected from extradition and has mostly lived in France, avoiding countries likely to extradite him.[70] Because he fled prior to sentencing, all six of the original charges remain pending.[71]

I'm done with this talkback for now. Have fun with the anti-polanski hypocrite fucks. Have a better one.
-
Now I know that Harry knows absolutely NOTHING about sports...but what could you possibly think is a better baseball movie than Bull Durham? I'm guessing he'd say Field of Dreams...which is not anywhere near as good as Bull Durham. BD is a phenomenal work of art...the absolute greatest most realistic sports movie ever made.
-
I haven't seen a Brad Pitt movie in about 10 years.
-
I haven't made a single pun today, here or in real life.
-
if you commited a crime, and you accepted a plea bargain.completed the plea bargain sentence and then found out WHOA JACK, you aint through bya damn sight..the victim accepted the terms of the plea. if she wanted full prosecution, then this wouldnt have happened. he never wouldve been allowed out of prison on bail.
-
Asi will never capitulate to reason. Some people are incapable of admitting error so they resort to insults. And in this case, the insults are all there is.
-
You think playing six degrees of Polanski is having people by the balls? You are crazy, man.

Are not promises, and are definitely not legally binding.

Then do the same thing six months later.

You're just a fuck, period. You've proved that time and time again. You just like to start shit, and I don't think you actually believe any of your own bullshit.

...consensual relationship with a 14 year old (he was 40).
He's in prison, as he should be. Fortunately for him, they moved him to a low security place, so he isn't in with violent criminals. I'm not sure he deserved 7 years with no chance of parole, but he deserved something. That was some stupid shit. -

by bringingsexyback
Good movie.

If you scan the talkback, he said a lot of retarded shit trying to get someone to respond.
-
im an ass.
-
But noooooooooo ... he wouldn't do a movie like that. Snob.
-
Time to rub one out. BRB
-
Glad you brought it McGoo!
-
but I don't care for admitted "sexual assaulters," and it's pretty hideous period that he had sex with a 13 year old (who he drugged).Of course, I'm no expert on the case, so perhaps there's something I'm missing.Would I watch a movie by the guy? Sure. If all our great artists' work was invalidated by their crimes (and douchebaggery), there would be far fewer great works of art.
-
We're going to Switzerland to hunt and torture Pedanski to death. Wanna come?
-
See that Asi? THAT's a pun!

How's about The Pedables.

Cuz that's what we're gonna do to his anus.

I totally agree... but I prefer to wait until he's not alive enough to collect the paycheck
-
Polanski and the super-sized Depardeiu doing some great work in front of the camera. The only thing better than Polanski behind the lens is when he is in front of it. Vampire Killers, The Tenant, Formality, his performance in Zemsta, the Chinatown cameo. The 30 minutes of the Tenant is just crazy awesome...when he's looking out the window down on the crowd, and the Trelkovsky-masked jester is dancing around...that's some archetypal 70's fucked-up dream/vision/hallucination going on there.
-
The Polanski debate is getting old. We need someone new to talk about. But which filmmaker is most likely a paedophile? Ratner? Nah, he probably just fucks crack whores and Thai she-males. Snyder? Nah, he's after the collage snatch. It's most likely some older guy like George Lucas. He seems the type. I bet Burton is a pervert as well. God, imagine getting molested by Burton.
-
Judge not lest ye be judged. You said so in an earlier post, and yet you're judging pot smokers and accusing them of being hypocrites, you hypocrite.
-
Humans are evolving quickly (note the feminization of boys, the increase in gays, the earlier and earlier puberty of girls). Back in '77 when Polanski squirmed his pole into the little girls ass the little girl was more like what we would think of as a 9-10 year old today.
Regarding guilt by association, I do plan to skip any movie involving an actor/director that publically supported Polanski. And yes I don't draw the line at Sigorney Weaver. Of course, I have lots of reasons to avoid her films. -
Now we have an explanation. Harry watched Kick-Ass 3 more (!) times, and is wasting HOURS of his life that he'll never get back watching Heroes. Most thinking lifeforms gave up on that pile of crap around the time of the SEASON ONE FINALE Harry. Still love ya though.
-
while you keep ignoring what is the definition of rape:
SHE SAID NO got it? NO, N O, NO. it doesnt matter if you are 5 years old or 80 years old.When you forcibly have sex with someone who is not willingly giving his/her consent to this act,what you are doing is practically and by the definition of law, raping him.The fact that the fucktard pervert Polanski drugged and raped a girl who not ontly said NO,but she wasnt even in the age of sexual consent,it makes his CRIME,C R I M E,even worse and spiteful for this asshole.and ofc not only he did that crime,which he willingly admitted but he eventually run as coward that he was in another country in order to avoid a more severe and justified punishment.
But please do defend him,go on,because after all he is the guy who directed Chinatown, no? fucking human race. -
...can be found online pretty quickly...Scorcese, Gilliam, Zwigoof, Wes Anderson, David Lynch, Woody Allen (insert joke here) Aronofsky, Bertolucci, Alfonso Cuaron, del Toro, Monica Belluci (ouch!). Man, I would hate to deprive myself of all their work if I was on the boycott warpath.
-
So you can see where Polanski is coming from right?
-
Because someone works with him? No, not necessarily at all. Sometimes you just need the work.
-
That she was dating Sammy Davis Jr, and the studio freaked...and some very serious people tried to have him killed, resulting in a car accident, and that fake eye. Don't know if its true, but I promise that there are people who knew him at the time who believe it.
-
Seriously, that will fuck up any man and likely lead him to make stupid choices
-
is this an excuse or a reason?
-
Please refer to Lao_Che_Air_Freight's post, and then please do your own search to find a more complete list of Polanski supporters. It's a shame how many classic, modern, and future movies you will need to deny from now on. If you feel that strongly about the issue, go for it, and good luck.

Polanski boycotters, note that list well
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
You must avoid the work of any on that list and all known associates, and follow it religiously. We al know you are paragons of integrity, and far from empty mouthpieces making nonsense proclamations on a talkback! You are no longer permitted to masturbate to that harlot Monica Belluci, either.Del Toro's Mountains of Madness film is off limits! All further Scorsese work, too!
-
need to pay for Natalie Wood?
-
Natalie Portman, Jeremy Irons, Sam Mendes, Neil Jordan, Adrien Brody, Lorenzo Semple Jr, Buck Henry, Brett Ratner, Kristin Scott Thomas,John Milius, Emma Thompson all signed the petition as well.
-
Has a lot of dull actors in it.

the works of steven spielberg, george lucas, coppola, cameron, kubrick, nolan, etc, etc. Everyone is connected to Polanski to some degree. All Polish people must also be boycotted, since that is the land of Polanski's birth. And France, too, where he resided.And if you so much as look at a girl under the age of 30, you are a scremaing pedophile and must commit hari-kari as punishment. It's a hard road but somebody's got to hoe it!

Just like i'd gladly listen to Micheal Jackson music. I don't care who's behind a great pice of art, I Let the piece of art speak for itself

So we gotta boycott all of jackie Chan's film and chris tuckers. So if i see any of you haters watching The fifth element, i'll cut your nose open
-
I'm familiar with the list. And, now that you mention it, I haven't seen a Scorcese, Gilliam, Zwigoof, Wes Anderson, David Lynch, Woody Allen, Aronofsky, Bertolucci, Alfonso Cuaron, del Toro or Monica Belluci film since (never mind Barbra Steisand, Matt Damon, Ellen Page, Ben Affleck, Susan Sarandon or Sean Penn). Really, 99% of their products are very, very missable and the 1% that may be great (Inception, for example) I am quite happy avioding if I get to also avoid Ellen Page.
-
do you really think it changes anything or even matters? Like Polanski will say "oh some AICN talback faggot doesn't want to watch china town, my life is ruined" People who devote themselves to such a cause are pathetic. The inceident happend, Polanski is a great filmaker, and you don't matter

It's more just a choice. If you learned your neighbour was a member of NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) and that he'd been buggering your little brother would you rush over and offer to cut his lawn?

Because he infamously taped himself having sex with underaged girls? That means you better not own any Austin Powers films, The Outsiders, Contact, or St. Elmo's Fire. You better not listen to any hard rock music, either, because pretty much most of them have buggered underaged girls on tours.
-
Yeah that doesn't sound creepy at all. giggle.
-
I have never watched his shitty pedophile movies and i am never going to.And i am surprised that this pederast is still allowed to film movies of explicit sexual depiction with underage kids.But then again there are people who defend Polanski for his child rape crime,which they characterize it as an incident.so no surprises here after all.

wish i'd read the talkback first, now
-
Inception clearly number 1 and Toy Story 3 in second.
Kick Ass for me, was a lot of fun and well put together 4/5. Its position in number 3 though is more a reflection of the amount of poor movies to come out this year. Still yet to see How To Train Your Dragon and Winters Bone. -
JOYRIDE 2?
Really liked the first, is the 2nd worth a watch?? -
I heard a funny story about Jim Henson once being caught masturbating with one of his puppets... thought that was kinda funny, and a bit sad... What would one with a puppet fetish be called? Is there a term for that? Should we coin one?
-
maybe?
-
I like it, I like it... What then, would one be called who masturbates with a stack of DVD's no one gives a shit about?
-
Thinking about it, it really has been a poor year. Robin Hood was decent, Inception pretty damned great, hoping Expendibles hands me my ass on a plate next week.
-
Iron Man 2 good, Pixar couldn't even manage a good Pixar movie this year, Inception - ovrrated. Other Guys, surprise funny movie this summer. Exepndables will do decent business.
-
It's a shaem that so many only know Flynn from his Robin Hood movie (which ive seen so much of that great movie im sick of that green vomit) and whatever other 2 common picks of his but ilke that set shows his lesser known are every bit as watchable, and i'm not just talking out of my ass vaguely, i watched Desperate Journey was a hook-a-thon. So was Gentleman Jim the a few days ago, when he does his Hamlet-style bow to the audiences, and Objective Burma had a more down to earth Flynn without his usual glimmer and he had an anchored stability there, yaknow as of now my favorite Flynn type are his war heroes, even more than his swashbucklers or cowboys or suits.
-
why? it looks too in your face and clean....

And the other talkbakers who sided with me!
I hate people who troll and spoil as much as the next guy, but in the case of Roman Polanskis films, I would spoil all of his movies in a heartbeat to hurt sales. As for Robert Harris (the author of the book) maybe he should have at least spoke out against the choice of director of his material, instead of just sitting back and counting his royalties, so fuck him and his airport literature.
As for all the “regardless how you feel about the Director…yadda..yadda” crowd. Who put their fingers in their ears, and shout la la la la la la la, because they don’t like to hear or think about the man behind their precious 2 hours DVD and cinema entertainment? All of you are active pedo supporters, plain and simple. That includes Harry and his Amazon links. Roman IS a paedophile, when he fled the U.S. it was the tip of the iceberg for what he got up to before and afterwards. Look it up if you don’t believe me. The man is a shameless nonce, a villain of the absolute worst kind. All the information is out there and sad fucks whose lives seemingly revolve around movies and have too much time on their hands are attacking me? For ruining the 2 odd hours they where looking forward to watching a mediocre movie? Go do something else instead you nonce sympathizing saddos.

Great concept, poorly executed. Exposition beyond any movie I've ever seen. We get it! It's not that difficult.
Compare it to Matrix and you'll see that INCEPTION is all over the place. And the music. Christ... Give it a rest. -
...with their "Piranha" Blu-Ray? Was so excited to pop it in (Joe Dante magic!) but my player rejected it (I'm in the US). I'm trying to find out if this is a stand-alone issue or a major problem before I take it back for a new one.
-
I respect your hatred for Polanski and pedophiles in general. What I don't respect is someone who forcfully tries to take away my freedom of choice. If I choose to watch Polanski films, that is my right. Please do not try to force your agenda down our throats. So you think Polanski deserves to hang for his crimes? Then go cry to France for allowing him to hide in thier country. Don't take it out on us!
-
Wow. There's always one. One thing I've learned on these talkbacks is that there isn't a single film in existence that doesn't have at least one hater. I know, I know, we all have a right to our opinions, but goddamn, there are even people out there who hate The Godfather. How the fuck do you hate The Godfather? Sad.
-
Had a great time getting all the Polanski haters vaginas in a knot, but now the thrill is gone... Peace out
-
occasionally, he throws out a film i may have never spotted and i get a surprise. it's a quick scan and bail for me.

Thats an extremely immature and selfish way to act.
-
A total hack. And he showed such promise with KALIFORNIA.
-
Now i have heard it all! Where do people get this opinions from, anyway? On the bargain bin?
-
I’ve dropped spoilers on the movie. I’m not stopping anyone from watching the movie, just giving the public another good reason not to bother watching it. Eliminating their curiosity to the point where they won’t pay to see it or own it, and in turn, divert a few quid away from the studio. Hitting them where it hurts. I wouldn’t waste my energy calling for France to hang Polanski, he is a rich man with power and influence, and history has thought us time and time again that these people always get away with crimes through sneaky tactics funded by said power, money and influence. This doesn’t surprise of anger me, it’s the way of the world. Just like it doesn’t surprise me that there are always thousands of small peasant fans of that will support there “art” despite the artists horrendous behaviour. So I spoiled a (mediocre) movie that by all rights shouldn’t exist (in its current form). To hurt its performance, I’ll do it again in a heartbeat!
-
Turn my back for over 12 hours and you guys are going batshit as usual. LMMFAO
Asi, dude calm the fugg down with your Pro Polanski rants you are becoming overly defensive of this guy.And although to his credit he is a great director but unlike you I can't champion his cause/plight just for art's sake.And calling ppl "fucks" because they don't favor him is downright immature.you're better than that not to mention how you played into Choppah's hands.Let's face it, the guy is a resident troll who gets a rise outta angry responses from you,rogue and the like.Just ignore and never feed the trolls.(Respect)I never heard about Morgan Freeman raping his granddaughter or Marlon fucking 15 year old jackie collins, but rest assured if this is factual, I will no longer support their careers either.In other words; fuck them too.never was a fan of Spielberg so that's a no brainer.(BTW what was he accused of? I mustv'e missed something while reading these posts.)RPLocke:.....your constant bitching about Kick Ass,Blade Runner,Inception etc. is more than evident that you should NOT be posting on these boards as you have no cinema cred.You, "Ryan" are a very cynical bastard, yet a contradiction after all you are a proponent of Bay's Transfuckups/Trashformers.The security gaurds are waiting by the door as you turn in your Geek Pass.BSB; Funny posts and not one mention of 300 days/Zoey... for a second, i thought you were gonna post some shit like 300 days of Asimov LOL.Guys play nice or don't play in the sandbox at all. -
Be nice

"do you really think it changes anything or even matters? Like Polanski will say "oh some AICN talback faggot doesn't want to watch china town, my life is ruined" People who devote themselves to such a cause are pathetic. The inceident happend, Polanski is a great filmaker, and you don't matter"wether he gives two shits or not, I am content with myself knowing that I won't endorse fuckers (no pun intended) like Polanski,Allen,etc.It's called having the courage of conviction.If you support his works, good on you boyo, but this guy is a fucking coward who fled into exile instead of facing the music for his crimes.yes, i saw the doc; wanted and desired and although the judge was biased and had his own agenda, at the end of the day "Romeo" did a very fucked up thing.Guilty as charged.He should have manned-up, paid for his crimes via doing time and some community service and moved the fuck on. But noooooo, he upped and ran like a bitch.You "Prolanskis' crack me up by avoiding the fact that if some asshole had drugged and raped your daughter, you would frag the sonofabitch, regardless of his stature.DGDB may be batshit, but he called Harry out for mentioning how Pedoski was fucked by the judicial system.Fucked? he didnt serve time so how was he fucked over?Sometimes, I wonder about that guy.

Where part of the crowd stood up and applauded him and the others stayed in their seat. You can say rape of 13 year is worse than testifying before congress and giving names of supposed commie sympathizers. But don't forget the people he named lives were ruined.

If you guys were really strong in your convictions....
by jehovahs_witness
...of not supporting rapists, statutory or otherwise, then you better not listen to Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones because Jimmy Page and Bill Wyman were notorious for having lengthy affairs with 13 to 14 year old girls, not to mention the other members of the band. This means you can't watch movies which use songs by those bands, because those movies put money in their pockets, which means you better not watch the aforementioned Goodfellas or pretty much anything by Scorcese.
-
As proven countless times above, It's impossible to boycott every piece of film that is connected to Polanski. He's worked with countless actors and film crew... so why deprive yourself of a great film just because the lead Actor has worked with Polanski in the past? Better not be watching star wars or indy, cause Ford is connected to Polanski, and while your at it You better avoid goldeneye, because Brosnan is "just as guilty" as polanski. don't bother with a great film like Raging Bull or goodfellas, cause their director is "pro-lanski"It just seems like such an uptight, sissy way to lead your life, you are depriving yourself of pleasure because of the actions of one man. That's fine that you don't agree with what he did, but bottom line is that it's not up to you to pass judgement, He chose to flee after the court systems became corrupt and his government has chosen not to extradite him. It's out of your hands you play no part in deciding his fate, if you really want to make a change why don't you sign petitions or become a court judge so that these things don't happen again. Do you really think you not watching pirates of the caribean because johnny Depp is in it is going to make any sort of an impact beyond yourself? Life is far to short to devote yourself to a cause that will never get results. People do bad things, they make mistakes. A history of bad things makes someone a monster not one single occurance 30 years ago.
-
When someone does there sentence for crime convicted of and released from prison, society is supposed to accept him back in. Does it change the fact he committed a crime? No, but he did the punishment imposed on him by society. While Polanski never faced trial but his victim (the most important person in the whole sorrid affair) has made her decision and imposed her own penalty on Polanski with legal agreement between the two parties. So I guess you could say Polanski has done his time w/o really doing time.
-
I have to strongly disagree. By posting a spoiler without a warning, you took away my choice to decide if I want this film spoiled or not. It's a general rule in these talkbacks that you give warning before spoiling a film. By not doing this, you basically spat in all our faces and told us you know what is best for us. It's a shame really because you make some good points and I agree with most of your opinions on Polanski. I just feel your anger towards Polanski drove you to disrespect the rest of us.
-
fucker ruined a movie for everyone, He decided that it was his right to spoil the ghostwriter's ending. apaprently we have no choice to support Polanski's work, themanwhocan decided that for us. For that he's truly a dickhead
-
Read up about the man before making comments like that. The man has a compulsion for screwing young ones. He did it before, he’s done it afterwards, right up to his house arrest probably, and is no doubt planning to do it again when the heat is off him. There are always crazy moron fans prostituting there kids to the alter of the all mighty Polanski. Point is, it was a once off with the 13-year-old girl involved in the trial. It most certainly wasn’t the first OR last time that that prick slithered his way into more underage adventures.
-
Congratulations on being a huge asshole (yes you are one, and telling us otherwise doesn't work).
-
made somewhere in the 90s,was for Polanski to pay the victim 250.000$ as a compensation.He didnt pay it.Now that they arrested him,he addressed the victim telling her that he will pay her the 250k$ that he owned her.!!The guy is a pathetic little man.
-
As you said, that makes him even more a pathetic little man.
-
The "victim" of the "rape" said so in an interview several years ago, thats is why she says she forgives polanski and thinks he regretts what he did and the charges should br droped. She sounds like she's just in it for the money though and she likely enjoyed the event 30 years ago don't you agree TheManYouCan?
-
Apparently he yelled "Surprize!" before sticking it in. Hence, the act no longer constitutes rape and is legally defined as "Surprize Sex".
-
man in the can is an asshole troll bitch.the victim of the crime accepted the terms of the plea bargain of polanski serving 90 days in a treatment facility. THATS IT!! he served his time. is it right? no. is it fair? no. but he served his time and if the victim is willing to accept that, then you pussy ass bitches should too.he fled because the judge fearing he wouldnt be reelected because he gave a lenient sentence that BOTH PARTIES AGRRED TO, decided to then imprison polanski afterwards. polanski bolted because he didnt want to be a pawn in a corrupt judge's political scheming!
-
not until he got arrested at least.unless we have read different interviews,the reason she forgave him was because she had move on with her life,she has a family now and she didnt want to be the epicenter of publicity anymore.
And why the words "victim" and "rape" in quotes? its victim and rape as clear as that,your child rapist buddy has admitted so in the court.its tough to make an argument against that,no? -
doesn't mean that Polanski isn't a miserable excuse for a human being, a rapist and an ephebophile.Let's review: he drugged the 13 year old kid and had oral and anal sex with her (even though she resisted and told him to stop multiple times).I'm not disputing his considerable talents as a director any more than I dispute the considerable talents of the late Michael Jackson as a songwriter/performer (assuming at least some of the accusations about his sexual proclivities are true). All this stated, I can totally separate the man from the artist. Again, if we held all great artists up to moral standards, we would lose many great works of art--both visual and otherwise. Great artists historically have often been deeply flawed (sometimes criminally so).
-
there are many miserable excuses for human beings not in jail.
-
the film but I can not agree that it was the right thing to do. How much of a difference to the bottom line, financially, do you really think it will make? Your stand is symbolic at best. All it does it make you feel good about yourself. Neither the studio nor Polanski are going to be appreciably affected by it. Plus, it puts it into the mind of certain morons that they too should do the same thing to deny support of their most hated directors (or writers, or actors). For example, a lot of people around here despise Bret Ratner. Is it ok for them to post spoilers to his new movies in order to deny him of Box Office & Home Video? (And, no, no rational person would ever equate the rape of a 13 year old girl to screwing up X3, but rational thought is not a prerequisite to posting around here).If you really want to make a difference you should have written letters to your local cinemas when the film was released, promising a lifetime boycott of said theatre (along with the hundreds or thousands of signatures you'd collected of people who feel the same way) if they show The Ghost Writer. Then petition your local video chain with the same promise - remove all Polanski's films or you'll never return. Maybe even picket both until they give in. At least then you might accomplish something. Coming on here to maybe keep a handful of people from renting the film is tilting at windmills.
-
Too true. And I'm not stating that I think Polanski needs to be incarcerated. But I hope we can all agree that the man--whatever his skills or talents as a filmmaker--has committed rape in the past. And that makes him scum of the earth in my book.
-
"I think that he is a very respected person and I am a big admirer of his work. But, nevertheless, I think he should be treated like everyone else. It doesn't matter if you are a big-time movie actor or a big-time movie director or producer. And one should look into all of the allegations, not only his allegations, but the allegations about his case. Was there something done wrong? You know, was injustice done in the case?"That right there sums it up, of course what he did was wrong, but he also may have been the victim of a corrupt judicial system and a judge that was not willing to faily try the case and punishment, more emphases need to be put on the trial judge backing out of the ple deal because he was worried out being re-elected. Polanski did his punishment and he should be a free man today
-
I found this interview about the case with the girl, http://tinyurl.com/ycrfej8
-
Again--the art, not the man, is important to me as a moviegoer. I understand the principle of boycotting his films--I just don't personally think it's necessary.All that stated, I'm not a fan of Polanski as a director. I can see why he's considered a great and influential filmmaker--I just don't personally dig his style.
-
is marrying his grandaughter, not raping her, and Brando "seduced" Jackie Collins when she was 15.
-
with the justice system.afterall thats what the judges officially ask him to do at this point of time.Its not that they will lock him in a cage when he step his foot in USA.But Polanski is too much of a little man to even do this.

Schwarzenegger has his own skeletons in the closet...
by le vicious fishus
And what he says in the quote above works both ways. If Polanski is an admitted rapist, has he raped again? WILL he rape again? Those are the questions that I HOPE have been looked into thoroughly.

by six demon bag

-
thats why laws exist for minors.to protect them because they lack the way of mature and repsonsible thinking.what they are willing is irrelevant.
-
Proven, calculated rape--whether the rape of a young teenager or an adult--should be punishable by death. IMO, it is as bad or worse than murdering someone.I understand the justice system throughout (most of) the world doesn't agree with me, and I bow to this country's laws, but that's how I feel.A rapist--whether he likes kids or adults--so often is a repeat offender. Why not put him down like the dangerous animal he is? Of course, my only qualm to this line of thinking is the real possibility of the innocent being found guilty. Execution is the ultimate, permanent punishment--and there are no do overs. That's the reason--and the only reason--I actually oppose the death penalty in practice for all but those who freely admit their crime (e.g., Polanski).
-
but that does not excuse or exclude Polanski's from his terrible action in any way.afterall at the end of the days she said NO,right?
-
Everything I've ever said has happened. I told you that they are filming EVERY change Pixar made to Tron Legacy. That is true. That could mean a pixar-level story. I shutter at the thought of it actually being that good. Anyways I'm always telling you guys astounding true shit. Well I saw Clooney in black n white makeup. He has just finished filming a test for Twilight Zone. I'm pretty sure he's Rod. I'm guessing he'll introduce and narrate. Anyway I saw it and nobody else knows about it yet so there
-
She was 13, dude. 13. She also told Polanski to stop, and he didn't. This was rape.I mean--get this: he raped her anally. Anally.No way a 13 year old girl wanted that to happen. No way that SHOULD have happened to a 13 year old.Genius filmmaker or not, in a more perfect world Polanski would've been euthanized upon the crime being proven.
-
had the Mandarin kidnap the top movie driector/producer in Hong Kong to make an autobiographical movie of him. Panels switched between what the Mandarin was having the director shoot and what actually happened. Not really related to thread but thought I'd let people know about a good read.
-
for sending a nude fashion photographer to a child's house. Here Roman, go take some naked pictures of this child for us to show da world.
-
It's 2010 guy's. Still having the Death sentence makes me ashamed to be Human, how are we ever going to progress into the stars and beyond when we still have that. And before you come back with the "well what if it happened to your child" I'd much rather the fucker rot in a cell for the next 50 years, or something similar to that Drug Dealer in Se7en. Now I know that what usually happens is the fucker gets out after 10-15 so rectify that to make sure that dosen't happen then.
-
'Star wars crap' is redundant.
-
Again, I actually oppose the death penalty in practice for all but those who freely admit their crime (and who are a clear threat to all those around them): like cold blooded killers or rapists. You get the idea. And in the case of a killer/rapist who admits to their heinous crime: quick and painless euthanasia. I think of it as a mercy to them and of course a mercy to prior and possibly their potentially future victims.
-
It's a hell of a lot cheaper than locking the door and throwing away the key. Again--this only applies to the most heinous criminals (including any rapists imo) and only those who freely admit to their crime.
-
she may have been 13 but she was already sexually active and was no stranger to Hollywood parties apparently, I think Polanski went to far, sure, but I don't think it's this horrible brutal rape people seem to imagine.
-
If that was just it then most men would never get laid, damn watch a Jap porno, if they stopped when they said no the Asian race would be extinct!
-
I don't think that was ever called into question in the court, Polanski had to do treatment because she was only 13 not because he was a child rapist. My bet is that the girl and her mom knew what was happening, but after the act they realised they could get a lot of money out of polanski, i don't think either of them imagined it would be more then a settlement and maybe a bad rep, i don't think they intended him to flee and us still be debating it 30 years after the incident
-
And if someone does confess, knowing they are condemning themselves to death, doesn't that show a significant sense of remorse (buddy can't live with himself)? It would pretty much be the opposite of how it is now. Those who confess (plead to a lesser charge) do so to avoid trial and the possibility of such a sentence, while those that don't are the ones who get it. Either way, the guilty are going to do whichever will help them avoid the chair.
-
If the girl laid there with her legs spread and said "Fuck me Roman" It's still rape, willing or not willing, she is still a child. A grown man should know better. Because he is sick and needs to fuck children doesn't excuse the fact that what he did was wrong. Period. I'd like to see his defenders reaction if they had a 13 yr old daughter that got fucked by a guy like Polanski. They would sure as fuck be singing a different tune. They wouldn't be defending him, they would be cutting his nuts off.
-
the Death Sentence makes that excuse redundant, it's the one thing I hate Schwartznegger for, when that gang leader Tookey? was disallowed a reprive from his Death Sentence or something.
-
I take it that anally raping a 13 year old is a horrible brutal rape.Next case.
-
walking around like the little sluts they are. With barely a stitch on. When I was 13 alls I thought about was gettting laid. I used to live in what was apparently the capital of underage pregnancies in Europe, but the shocking thing is they are getting pregnant just to get the free housing.
-
"The girl testified that she left the Jacuzzi and entered a bedroom in Nicholson's home, where Polanski sat down beside her and kissed the teen, despite her demands that he 'keep away.' According to Gailey, Polanski then performed a sex act on her and later 'started to have intercourse with me.' At one point, according to Gailey's testimony, Polanski asked the 13-year-old if she was 'on the pill,' and 'When did you last have your period?' Polanski then asked her, Gailey recalled, 'Would you want me to go in through your back?' before he 'put his penis in my butt.' Asked why she did not more forcefully resist Polanski, the teenager told Deputy D.A. Roger Gunson, 'Because I was afraid of him.'Doesn't sound willing to me. We're talking about a 13 year old here, dude. And I can't believe the tired "she was sexually active" excuse is being used. That's a fallacious argument and is immaterial, especially considering the victim's age. This is a variation of the execrable "she was promiscuous or dressed provocatively so it wasn't REALLY rape" excuse. Just because she had had consensual sex with others doesn't mean she wasn't raped.

"according to the victim's grand jury testimony, Roman Polanski instructed her to get into a jacuzzi naked, refused to take her home when she begged to go, began kissing her even though she said no and asked him to stop; performed cunnilingus on her as she said no and asked him to stop; put his penis in her vagina as she said no and asked him to stop; asked if he could penetrate her anally, to which she replied, "No," then went ahead and did it anyway, until he had an orgasm."
you can read her official testimony here:

"...like the little sluts they are..."Get help, bro. Talk like that makes me afraid for my own daughter (who is less than a year old now).
-
I pretty much said the same thing.And it's unfortunate that our boy Asi has gone off the deep end regarding the topic. I just can't support Roman or any other filmaker for doing something so goddamn heinous. If that fucker attacked my God daughter, I would go "Fulci" on his sorry ass.No amount of money is gonna erase the shit he has done.Choppah may be a annoying troll, but truth be told, we agree that 'lanski should have gotten his ass handed to him..prefebally Hit Girl style.
-
I think it's wrong, but not brutal, I think RedBull_Werewolf is the closest, I think she was willing up till the anal question, but I don't belive they did it with the sole purpose of suing him.

Why is it legal for 13 y.o. boys to fuck 13 y.o. girls?
by jehovahs_witness
But illegal for 30 y.o. men to do it? Is it because 13 y.o. boys have penises that aren't fully developed and won't cause as much vaginal damage? Or because 13 y.o. boys have no game so if they get some play they should be applauded? I'm just curious why one is okay and one is not, from a philosophical point of view.
-
did you read the rest of my comment. If your daughter is getting fucked at 12 JUST TO GET FREE HOUSING sorry bro but shes a slut.
-
let Roman have his way with your daughter (if you have one.) and let us know how you would feel.Some of you Prolanskis are downright hypocritical yourselves.
-
unfortunately some of these Prolanski guys have the "maturity" to seperate the art from the man.gimmie a fucking break.
-
..just as sick. And brando seducing a 15 year old is..well..fucked up.I guess I'll deprive myself of seeing another film with eithr of them..oh, Marlon is dead.My bad. (0:'
-
Thanks, I hate this justification of a child molester. I also don't give a shit if 13 year old girls are wearing next to nothing and showing skin and all that bullshit. Keep it in your fucking pants, they are children. I see how they dress when I drop off my 13 year old stepdaughter at school. They are doing what the trends are, what is "cool" but don't know the ramifications of dressing like that...but guess what? Their fucking parents know, and they let them out like that. No way I am letting my 13 yea old out of the house looking like a hooker, no fucking way. But then the parents who let them dress that way get mad when the girls get molested. It's one thing when they start getting to a certain age, but 13 year olds have no business wearing some of the shit they wear. Parents who allow it should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

I told you the mere mention of Polanski would turn this
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
thread into a mud slinging match. I think Harry does it deliberately, and then professes 'aww shucks' naivete when confronted. He knows exactly what he's doing.
-
is that you should take a look at your assorted Art collection, and realise that probably most if not all of the creators of said Art have a distinct Dark side, or have commited some dark and depraved acts.
Did you stop listening and watching Jacko, Led Zep, Cuck Berry, Brando, Freeman, and thousands others, damn most of Rock n Roll music is based on sex with underage girls! -
good for you man. hats of to you if you can.

Rooney was it? Is supposedly a pedo, also Bryan Singer likes his boys young apparently.

Anymore. Its a bit of a nutty position to take at this point.

Many rock artist had sex with under-age girls
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
In fact Jimmy Page had a relationship with a 13 year old girl with the consent of the parents! Usually these people just weren't caught. Polanski is guilty but his particular case has been magnified to absolutely absurd levels because he was caught, and also because of his celebrity. If the guy was a construction worker and had the same case, he may have not been granted the same leniency, but also would not have aroused the same amount of ire. People raging about Polanski while similar crimes happen all the time, known or unknown, unwittingly play into the cult of celebrity.
-
and he is facing trial for that.imagine that eh?
-
and he is facing trial for that.imagine that eh?
-
Just because both parties are underage doesn't cancel it out. I think in that case, they are both considered guilty of the crime. The specifics of the laws would depend on the country in which it takes place.
-
I think it's the hypocritical lynching for polanski that makes some of us speak up. No one really disagrees that what he did was horrible and deserved a punishing, but I think theres much worse crimes happening right now in Hollywood and the Art world in general, that are going unpunished. I mean the Strauss Bros are able to make ANOTHER movie for fucks sake!!
-
You are a true parent(PROPS) and very responsible unlike those so called "parents' who would let their 13-17 Year old daughters dress like Hoochie-mas.That reminded me of Nicole Brown's parents giving 34 year old Married OJ Simpson consent to date their daughter.She was 17 at the time and I'm sure they are regretting that decision to this very day."Bad call Ripley, it was a bad call".If Simpson wasn't famous, there's no fucking way they (The Browns) would have given "Oranthal" permission to screw their Daughter.
-
of Ferris and Howard The Duck? ;)
-
At least it means there's no legal hypocrisy, if you're right, that is. But why isn't it enforced? I know several kids I could turn in. Maybe I could hand them over to rogueleader66 to "cut their nuts off"...but since the 13 y.o girls in those crimes are also guilty....I guess rogueleader66 could also cut their clits off.
-
I don't listen to Led Zepplin (way overrated and fucking theives at that.) or that asswipe R.Kelly and as far as I'm concerned,I don't know of any of my favorite bands screwing underage girls but if I did, you damn right I would break or sell my CD collection.

...will be cutting off....rogueleader66 will have his hands full....full of 13 year old nuts and clits.

The list of movies connected to Polanski is so large
by redbull_werewolf
that it would take way to much time to type them here. It would be such a large list that if you really wanted to boycott everything and everyone connected to the man, you'd have nothing to watch, so I'll just say, hate the player not the game
-
Again, thanks. I try to be the best parent I can be. May not always succeed, but I always try. A wise man once told me...there are no perfect men in this world....only perfect intentions. (shameless quote from Costner's Robin Hood....so shoot me I liked it)
-
if i had a daughter i would be upset if he raped her and went UNPUNISHED. but if my daughter and i WILLFULLY accept the terms of the plea bargain rather than nailing his balls to the wall, then i really have no excuse to complain.he served his time in 1977. FACT!
-
...hate the game.
-
should i?

Just what is that supposed to mean?
-
should i?

should i?

i wouldnt use my daughter as a prop to get into a swanky hollywood party either.

because you are funding a pedophille

Between all the nuts and clits rogueleader66...
...will be cutting off....rogueleader66 will have his hands full....full of 13 year old nuts and clits.WTF -
are minors, they are treated as such and, again depending on the country's laws, would probably be charged with a misdemeanor not a felony. And, being minors, there'd be a certain amount of privacy involved so it could be it happens often we just never hear about it.

Stalkeye, if you listen to any sort of popular music at all
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
Then it is 90% likely that the artists have screwed underage girls knowingly or unknowingly. Nor do I believe you would break or sell anything made by these artists. See, this is why many like Six Demon Bag made the absurd jokes about six degrees of separation of the works of 'guilty' artists above. There is an absolute pack hysteria that comes from that sort of behaviour, that sort of bizarre equivalence, and not for one minute do I believe anyone who spouts such absurd drivel has any sort of integrity in maintaining it. It's easy to say, 'well I don't listen to/watch any of the artists you mentioned' but that's irrelevant - there will always be someone who's guilty in the eyes of such judmental, hypocritical faux-righteousness. Its absurd nonsense, no different from a finger-poking religious fanatic.
-
In this case, you shouldn't hate the movies that are connected to polanski, but rather hate the man himself. I just laugh at people that won't watch a movie connected to roman

These people DO watch movies connected to Polanski
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
Do you really think these twits don't? They just use online forums to make outrageous statements to get attention. Anyone can say anything here. In a previous talkback from a while back, I was having a back and forth with a Polanski opponent who claimed, in all honesty that he would never watch any of the Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones movies, anything by Spielberg, Jackson (because he worked with Adrian Brody), etc. That even movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark were tainted with the whiff of pedophilia! Now if anyone wants to be that much of a fucking idiot, then be my guest, it is only they who are missing out, however what makes me angry is these do not - could possibly not- have done any such thing. Its just attention seeking. People as a whole are hypocritical, cowardly and plain stupid. As i said, no INTEGRITY whatsoever. Probably some of these extremeists have skeletons in their own closets, like the homophobic fundamentalist fool Ted Haggard who rails against 'evil' gays while sniffing coke off the backsides of male prostitutes in his private life.
-
Non-celibrities who commit crimes usually pay for them, they - like all other Americans who don't benefit from extreme wealth - cannot hop a plane and lay low abroad for 30 years. And if they do, I hope we catch their slimey ass too.
-
Are people such slaves to legal rules that have no basis in common sense or nature that they think fucking a 17 year old - who may be old enough to be a college or university student - is equivalent to pedophilia? This is not the same as having sex with a 13 year barely post-pubescent. In many countries and US states the age of consent is entirely different. What, it's pedophillia, but when the clock strikes 12 on a 17 year old's birthday, it's suddenly 'all right'? Get a grip. A little common sense is needed here.Stalkeye's example of OJ simpson seemed to indicate this above. Sorry, but - aside from OJ being, well, OJ - a 17 year old dating a still fairly young man of 34 , under the consent of the parents no less - is acceptable. You may not 'approve', but its none of your business. If you think that's comparable to Polanski raping a 13 year old then you're completely out of whack.
-
i am my own.
-
In theory capital punishment (where practiced ,nid you - this is a highly controversial for of punishment and the law varies from state to state) is reserved for those so criminally violent that they are beyond redemption.
-
so forget I said everyone then, what are YOU going to do
-
of pedophelia.in the scene with Marion and Jones in the bar,during their dialogue its implied that they had a relationship when Marion was underage.
-
however, the same degree of outrage would not be directed at such a person, either, no? The celebrity thing works both ways, and it exposes people's hypocrisy - people would be angry at a regular case, but would quickly lose interest. Why - becuase it does not have the 'glamour' or notoriety of a high profile showbusiness scandal. And that's a large part of what's going on in Polanski's case. It has little to do with morality. And if you think otherwise, you're kidding yourself.

Why are people saying morgan freeman married his grandaughter?
by redbull_werewolf
Is there any proff of this beyond the tabloids, and while we're at it since when is it comon knowledge that Bryan singer molestes young boys, because thats the first i'm hearing of it
-
I never said Polanski and anyone associated with him should be boycotted by those who oppose him, just that Polanski should have a tire iron shoved in his ass.
-
I totally understand that, but this Tookey? guy I was reffering to did seem to have "changed" from what I remember, he was helping underprivillaged kids get out of gangs and other stuff I think. Not much I know but still.
-
She was not literally a 'child', just implying she was young, inexperienced and naive. That's not pedophillia.
-
What the other person thinks? If they don't like Polanski, FINE! If they're fine with Polanski's movies, FINE! Who cares!
-
This is about *anally raping underage girls*. It was rape--period. The kid was drugged and raped--period. I love the "she was willing until the anal" argument. Think about that one for a second. Now consider the facts: she testified repeatedly that she was afraid of Polanski and told him to stop repeatedly throughout the lead up to and during the rape.The basics remain: a kid was drugged and raped.The fact that Polanski has so many defenders is frankly sad and disturbing.AGAIN, I'm not in favor of boycotting Polanski. Many great artists are/were insane assholes--some criminally so. But I don't have to like the rapist piece of shit or defend his crime or accept him as a human being.
-
"having a relationship" with an underage kid either. See above. It's about RAPE.
-
anywhere in this talkback.i only and specifically said that i only boycott Larry Clark's movies.next time pay more attention.
-
I mean even the victim says the press intrusion after did more damage than Polanski, and is why she wants the whole thing laid to rest, that's why to some it just seems to some like America got shafted by a foregnier and will do anything for revenge.
-
or that he didn't rape the girl. Or that he shouldn't have been punished. Well, maybe some are. For my part, I'm talking about the wider ramifications of the case, and the misguided and illogical opinions and views it seems to arouse in some people.
-
A pointless debate, really.
-
the rape victim has dealt with what happened to her in the long run either. A lot of victims of violent crimes end up moving on and forgiving their attacker. It's healthy. Does it mean everyone else should forgive and forget that the man is a violent criminal capable of drugging and anally raping a 13 year old girl? Fuck no.
-
Women can be bitches sometimes and they are always changing their minds, she probabaly said yes but then later decided she should have said no. So as you can see, from a certain point of view the whole thing is her fault
-
is arguably more serious than what Larry Clark has done from what I have read so why only boycott his movies?
-
Yeah, 13 year old girls are often manipulative like that. Poor Polanski. If only he hadn't had anal sex with that scheming bitch of a 13 year old girl...
-
every comment every single individual made in this thread
-
I am never watching one of his films again!
-
when TB turns into a bloodbath.Where's THE_CHOPPAH when he's needed most?
-
he even used quotes to the words "rape" and "victim".UGG says that yes he raped her,but he didnt brutally raped her.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i imagine the scene in the court: -Polanski: yes your honor,i raped her but not in a violent way.i even used spit and lubricant.i mean the bitch's ass didnt even bleed by my gentle intrusion,your honor.so i expect to show me some leniance in my case,ok? afterall i am a jew who survived the Holocaust and i have made Chinatown,i deserve only a light punishment" -
You will only have to give up Jeepers Creepers; you're not missing much.
-
what with all his teenagers discovering themselves stuff urgh, dirty old man.
-
i am never listening to them again, I'll even stop listening to the foo fighters as well because they suck
-
he uses underage kids in sexual course in his movies and he characterizes it as art? were they legally allowed to do it? probably. but like some others pointed out above: Legal is not necessarilly Moral.

with Victor Salva, you'd also have to give up Francis ford coppo
by redbull_werewolf
He produced the film and even defended silva (which i agree with since silva had paid his debt to society and shouldn't be judged anymore) plus you'd have to boycott justin long, which means you would have to shut your eyes and scream loudly whenever an iMac commercial came on
-
I think I remember that... he was a famous formative member of The Bloods, is that the guy? That was kind of a special case. I mean, possibly if someone has the potential to do more good than bad then it is worth looking at...

Has anyone ever asked if the rape was the other way around?
by redbull_werewolf
What if the girl forced herself on roman and made him butt love her. It's safe to say that Polanski could be the victim in all of this
-
took him ages to die to. I just remember reading something about him and thinking he should at least be given a chance.
-
I, along with most people, just kind of mind my territory. I'll make judgements about things that enter my world of perception, and certainly movie directors fit that bill as I am a movie nerd. But I am equally apalled by our many local murder cases and similar distressful happenings.
-
for moral reasons. It smacks of censorship.
-
Gotcha. You're just bullshitting us. Carry on.
-
Pretty good film. I actually really like it.And, yeah--Salva's a child molesting piece of shit.
-
I do not belive in censorship at all. But what people fail to remember is to do that you have to allow all the shit you personally don't like.
-
But I definitely believe the guy should be shit-talked on the internet a lot
-
Excellent animation, voices, script. Just great. Extras include Jonah Hex quickie that is what Hex should have been, segment on Dick Grayson and a first look at Batman/Superman: Apocalypse.
-
other kids with AIDS on purpose or use bloody pads to drink beer are not exactly kids being kids.not at least in my parental guide book.is it a movie? sure.but then again the brutal rape in the Irreversible was ultimately also fake but it didnt make it any less disgustful and spiteful,especially if you think that it was a cheap way from the misogynist director to make his POS movie more "arty" and popular.
-
great now i can't watch any film connected to that, so no Back to the future 3, no jurrassic park (except the third) no boondock saints. Man i love being a religious sissy freak that thinks i have the right to tell others how to live, Hoo-ray Jesus
-
typing the opposite of what you actually mean is a real annoying way of making a point. it comes off as condescending and gets the opposite effect of me not caring at all what point you are trying to make. not trying to be a dick about it, just honest input
-
sorry. My friends and I acted like that and much worse as a "kid" and it's gotten much, much worse in my part of the world since, if you live in some Utopian society where kids don't do drugs steal and have sex please give me the address, because sorry to tell you it's happening all over the world dude.,p> And it was all fake as was Irreversible's rape scene. You do realise these scenes are designd to make you feel those uncomfortable emotions your feeling, and yes that's why they call it Art.
-
I know this talkback is long dead, but after reading through it I must say that anyone who compares the rape of a 13 year old to smoking weed is delusional.

but some idiot was saying that a potsmoker has no right to attack a rapist because he is a lawbreaker himself. I guess anyone who has ever driven over the speed-limit has no right to comment on real crimes either. Because smoking weed is on about the same level of lawlessness as speeding, IMHO.

They will ALL come around.Now all is right with the TB world.

-
and I'm a CHOPPAHOLIC.

So I don't give a shit what the law says, it's a done deal as far as I'm concerned. If the victim wanted justice, then that'd be a different story. But she doesn't. Deal with it.

WHen he crazy on the bad guys looking for Dakota Fanning? One guy woke up with a dildo up his ass, spreadeagle on a car with a bomb strapped to his chest. Wow!!

Roman Polanski isn't going to fuck any of your daughters
by jehovahs_witness
While many of you spend your summer days and nights going on angry tirades for hours against Roman Polanski to make the world a safer place for your teenage daughters, they are more likely getting humped in a grassy field by a skateboarder with an emo haircut. Teenage girls can sense when their Dads are very oppressive and spend a lot of time thinking and obsessing about their daughter's sexuality, and it makes them go out and do it all the more because it serves as a release to all the sexual tension they sense at home from their Daddy's. True story.
-
how saintly and virginal you all were as teenagers
-
thats not the point.
-
I mean everything I say
-
O shit lock up your daughters.
-
and you didn't answer my earlier question,"typing the opposite of what you actually mean is a real annoying way of making a point. it comes off as condescending and gets the opposite effect of me not caring at all what point you are trying to make. not trying to be a dick about it, just honest input"
-
You called. it.
-
so where does this assumption that I didnt mean any of it come from?
-
when he raped that kid.Not concerned with whether she was sexually active or voluntarily into drugs at the time. Irrelevant. She got raped--anally raped.I'm not a saint and never have been. I've done a lot of bad shit in fact, but I've never raped anyone. Cold-blooded rape and cold-blooded murder are on the same level imo.
-
and getting pregnant just to get a free house. Don't tell me kids are innocent.
-
What's your point?The kid was *anally raped*, UGG. It doesn't matter whether she was "innocent" or not (whatever the fuck that means). This dehumanization of the rape victim (whatever the victim's age) is a disturbing but all too familiar argument.
-
I totally respect your view and the way you put it forward, I just don't agree with some points dude.

You're not supposed to be reasonable!

Well my point is this
I personally am unsure if it was rape, I think it was all concensual up until he tried anal. Then if he did "anally rape" her then yes he's a fuck. I think his case has some unjust thrown his way to after watching the documentary. Am I right, probably not, but it's my opinion. And until one of you dudes can point me to something to change my mind I'll stick with it.
What I find amusing is the hypocritical America getting all up in arms over something that is happening constantly and much worse acts all over the Art world/ entertainment industry, by doubtless other celebs, and yet America still loves to push out with one hand it's little White Jailbait to the masses, whilst at the same time lambasting these girls for the scantily clad dancing and writhing on stage with the other. -

Are your referring to the man on fire one I did? Didn't understand what you were referring to. Sorry. Maybe post was directed to someone else and you used my name?
-
A sign that this TB must be nearly ov-ah.I can only state that EVEN if she was 100% all for it until he stuck his dick in her ass and kept on pumpin' till he got off--that's still rape.And her age DOES make a difference. At 13 I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. Now I would've loved to have fucked a 40 something year old woman at 13--but that's false equivalency.In order to make the analogy work: imagine you're 13 years old and this creepy 43-44 year old man starts plying you with drugs and liquor at a party. Whether you consent to him kissing you or going down on you or fucking you up the ass or not--you're only 13! Polanski using the excuse that the sex was consensual (until the anal rape) is like a pedophile priest saying the same thing about his molestation of a 13 year old boy. SAME difference.I get your point about the myopic, ridiculous media-obsessed world of the masses in America, but anal rape is--to me--a crime tantamount to murder. There are other examples that work, but this one just doesn't do it for me.
-
TALKBACK!
-
you do know that the director of that documentary was sued by some of the people that she had interviewed,because she altered and edited their speech is such a way that they gave a different meaning in favor of Polanski? after the sues,the director was forced by teh court to re-release a new version of the documentary with the interviews intact to their original version.
-
Or GREAT rape?
-
do you have any links? I know one guy said he was lying to make it more dramatic but that could of course be as much bullshit as his lie, and how do you know I didn't watch the re-released version?

YOW!

Was she worth it?

from the moment that he admited that he raped her.you can have your own take on the story,but the undisputable fact is that he raped her.
-
The Mother was in the building at the time it happened, surely she could have shouted for her or something.
-
MEN CALL HIM THE CHOPPAH!!!Kneel before him, motherfuckahs!
-
come on spill!
-
he admitted that he raped her.
-
It's not pretty, but I have "a way" of posting...IN BOLD!
-
in bold!!!
-
one more time...
Testing 1-2-3. -
This is sheer lunacy, but before the word or words you want to bold face, type the following (excluding extra spaces):
Know there's an easier way but haven't figured it out yet. -

MEN CALL HIM THE CHOPPAH!!!Yeahr!!!

Rapeage?

The extra spaces are annoying, and I don't know how to turn it off, but it's still
BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL!!! -
"Hey folks, Harry here with the latest two weeks of DVD PICKS & PEEKS. There’s some really great stuff on here – mainly from last week, but there’s some bright spots from this week as well – though the offerings for this week are slimmer. Lotta crap released today. As usual the pics and titles link you to Amazon, where if you happen to pick up an item via these links, you’ll help keep this column going. I really do love doing this, but there’s some weeks where it just escapes me."
And you have the gall to slag off other sites? This is about as compelling as watching old people eat, and shit. Get a life Harry, better still, get a job. -
Everyone, sing it togetherWe all hate
ANAL RAPE! -
CAN BOLD!!
-
And killik yea he admitted Unlawful Sexual Intercourse or "statutory rape" as a plea bargin to keep her annonymity, which to me means he maintains she was willing. So yea hes a "rapist" but then so is all those people who lost their virginity before their countries age of consent.
-
really
-
you can dress it with all the words you want,but at the end of the day a rape is a rape.
-
SURELY THERES ANY EASIER WAY TO DO THIS?!?!?!?
-
why are we still discussing this?

I am gravely dissapointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war. Look at what remains. ... There's been too much violence, too much pain. .... Just walk away ... Just walk away, and there will be an end to the horror.

No dating a 17 year old may not be as fucked up as doing an 13 year old, but it's still fucking creepy.Would you let your daughter date a 34 year old man if she was 17?If so, you are completely out of touch.Call me judgemental but I have my virtues and no muthafucker is gonna knock me off my soapbox.You are coming off a bit like a apologist with your counter arguement but I respect your opinion.Let's all agree to disagree and call it a day huh?
-
Before I hve heard of his allegations, me and my date at the time saw Jeeper Creepers.Needless to say, we hated the fucking movie so not only did he rape/molest some poor boy, but Moviegoers' wallets as well.Fucking pedohack.

Don't touch that!

-
A bit before my time. But nontheless, she lied about her age and Polanski(knowingly/anally) RAPED a 13 year old girl.You were saying?
-
John Landis outright kills them...how many of you boycott landis?
-
I was refering to earlier comments about kids in general and not being mature enough. All them guys that fucked her according to some people here are rapists and should be put to death!
-
Point taken.And those actors who had no idea of lord's age..well it's not their fault and they should not face prosecusion.Cosensual or no, Polanski should have known better.
-
Please, stop making a bigger ass out of yourself.
-
or does every Harry DVD review end up talking about child molesters?
-
It wasn't "rape" rape. So, you know, we can all chill out now.
-
she was only a bit of pregnant.
yeah i know,its called an oxymoron. -
Oh, so you're that omnius douchebag but with a new Username. What's next, Leo is actually Bathman?
-
Everything about this film is amazing, except for two elements... Tom Hanks, who's as good as you can expect but not good enough, and a very annoying voice over by the kid.

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea the bare bones EFNY blu came out.
Ordered :) -
Because of his new found vigour and sense of righteousness, he decided to boycott any films that used the Lord's name in vain (no Oh-my-God's allowed) or featured any form of sex or violence or even "bad taste". The same went for literature, music, conversation, etc. I tried to talk some sense into him, but the more I talked, the more stubborn he would get. He doesn't watch movies anymore. He doesn't read anything other the Bible anymore. He turn his back on people the moment they say something he doesn't like. In short, he took his "faith", and sense of what is right, too far. Now he's nothing more than a very proud shell of a man.
-
Roman: "So ... you're married."
Summer: "Yeah. Crazy, huh?"
Roman: "I'm available for babysitting ..." -
a little too far.
-
We can't assume Pedanski is a Father Knows Best kinda father. He's more in line with those who rape their own daughters.
-
When has a woman ever actually wanted to do Anal? And I mean normal females I think most women would actually prefer not to do it, but because of constant harrasing, or alcohol they give in. So by some peoples deffenitions half the world who has experienced bum love are rapists and should be put to death!
-
I was waiting for this to the point that I was gonna fill in and do my unabrigdged version of 300 Days LOL.Thanks,that gave me a good chuckle ergo my day is complete. (0:
-
Sometimes, I look upon organized religion as some brainwashing cult."Don't do this, Don't like that or you'll feel the wraith of the lord". I mean c'mon, WTF. One of the reasons why I had stopped attending service is when the Bishop had told us to avoid Horror movies because it is the work of satan.And at the same time, there were incidents of adultery,backstabbing and the like.I always feel one should live his or her life they way they want, as long as they are happy and most importantly the quality of life does not impede, harm or influence their fellow man/woman.Now, me avoiding anything polanski is my personal choice so i would not tell anyone else to follow my lead. But regardless of his cred, i'm not supporting sick fucks like pedoski,allen,freeman (if the granddaughter thing is really true.)etc. I admit i am a stubborn fuck, but at the end of the day, you have to stand for something or fall for anything.Just as long as it's not because some house of worship tells you what is right and what isnt.Most of them are bigoted anyways.
-
Just to clear things up a bit, it's not his biological granddaughter (which, I believe, is not legal in many countries); she's the daughter of a woman whose mother he was once married to. Nor is she a child, she's in her mid-20s. Certainly it's still creepy, considering that for a time he was her grandmother's husband when she was a child (or in her teens). But it's not like he's marrying a blood-relative who is still a minor.
-
Some of your posts are a bit reminicent of DGDB but it's obvious that you have been with us (Tbers) for over a period of time under a previous username.Ah, solving your "true" identity will be as sensational as The Hobgoblin.....scatch that, The identity of Hobby was a big fucking letdown especially how he got offed just like that.Anyways, I'm somewhat peddlebacking to what Turd had metnioned in regards to Holy rollering hypocrisy i.e.Ted Haggert the Fagert's blatant hatred for gays yet he was a closet pillowbiter.I understand to some degree where Turd was coming from, but there is NO hypocrisy when it comes to taking a stance against a POS rapist like Pedoski. you are one crazy ass troll but i agree, that the fucker should more than pay for his crimes and I will not champion his cause because he's some 'great' director. I'd tolerate Bay's racist bullshit transformers before I see a Pedoski film.If the Prolanskis can't understand, then I pity the fools.
-
It's creepy as in Woody Allen Creepy. So as much as I liked "easy-reading" Freeman, that's just damn tacky.There's no blood relation between me and my Goddaughter but I'll be damned if I dated her when she reaches 24.WTF is wrong with some of these guys ?

Want to hear something sick?When my sister was in her mid teens, out then stepfather began what would be years of molesting her, in the house under the nose of me and my mother,and years afterwards, when asked why he did it (I think by a therapist) his answer was..."Well she isn't my daughter"...that's his fucking reasoning...fucker didn't show remorse or anything, like he felt it was his right to do what he did. That is the one and only time in my life that I actually considered killing someone.If I run into this fucker again he had better run....and I mean fucking RUN.

the feelings are mutual

I freely admit to checking out movies for the sole purpose of seeing hot actresses in various states of undress. I don't think anyone can deny that it is a major selling point sometimes. I now have two new titles to check out: PROZAC NATION and AFTER.LIFE. To show my appreciation, let me give everyone some advice: avoid THE QUIET. Any time Elisha Cuthbert gets all saucy count me in, but this movie is one of the most miserable and depressing fucking things I have ever seen. And she doesn't even show any really notably naughty amounts of skin, anyway.
You have been warned! -
Sorry to hear about what had happened to your sister. and If you were to put one in the back of his skull, then it's more than justified as fuckers like them have absolutely NO place in modern society.Unfortunately there are extreme liberal lawyers who would fight the courts in order to obtain jobs and housings for convicted sex offenders/pedophiles.in many cases, I feel those who have made mistakes, should be given a second chance especially if they have served their time and regret the crime. but not when it comes to killing innocents and especially raping women and children. Fuck that, gas 'em all!Rogue, thanks for sharing and no doubt, all the best to you and your family.Hope everything is going well on your new job BTW.

You posting on a deceased celebrity's obit, with sarcastic comments like "Oh, i thought this was the IM2 board". shows how much of a "classy guy" you are.Fucking asshole, Horne has contributed to those who had no voice especially during that era not to mention the Lady had class which is more than i can say for you Greco-Bitch.Instead of blowing your money on VGs, you should save every fucking penny,euro or whatever the fuck since the economy in Greece is still weak and struggling.Have fun with your XBox fucktard.

testes...testes...1, 2,....3? -
Thanks! Hey I had to *work* yesterday. I'm at work today but not as busy. Hence my crazy political posting .. :)
-
let me get this right.you put in your mouth the name of a deceased woman and my accidental reply to her orbit thread instead the right one thread (god forbid that this thing hasnt happened before with a lot of other talkbackers when they have multiple talkback tabs opened) to do what?
to use it as basis to insult a completely unknown nerd like me in an aicn talkback,probably because i savagely pawned your sorry ass in some other talkback? congratulations sir,you have just elevated the term "little man" into the next level.you should be proud of yourself.now fuck off little man. -
Wouldn't we all like to do that? When the woman you marry is in her sixties and is sagging, wouldn't you like to trade her in for a younger 20 year old version of herself who is not blood relations? That's rhetorical, of course you would.

Harry's Taking a Piss With SNAKE PLISSKEN - God Help Us!!!!!!
by jonchambers

Your assessment of your ex-friend is utterly moronic. Who are you to say he is empty (and by implication that you are 'fuller') just because he only reads the Bible and avoids all the movies and music that he believes is caustic yet you deem so necessary? Stop for a moment and consider: the vast majority of movies and certainly music provide almost NOTHING in the way of nurishment for your soul. But then, maybe you don't believe in the soul. Okay what about your basic humanity. When was the last time a music lyric was genuinely profound or insightful? Same with most movies. The majority are just mediocrity glittered up with promotion and distributed through a machine that is utterly contemptuous of its audience. And your friend is empty because he has moved on from all this crap? Remember the Dali Lhama's warning: beware what you put before your eyes as once your heart and soul are entered you can never restore it to the way it was.
-
I hate europe. I hate the new kids. The movie gives me a feeling of blah! The original Vacation and Christmas Vacation are my favs.
-
...I couldn't care less about Polanski. I love a couple of his movies and like a few more, but he could die tomorrow and I wouldn't pause. But if I had the hatred of some of these assholes, I'd do something about it. You got one guy who'll do the brave act of revealing the ending of a movie he hasn't seen, but is too chickenshit to actually go out and protest the movie. Probably either afraid someone would beat his ass or he's one of those fatasses that can't get out of his computer chair. Then you got another tough guys who hopes Polanki's kids get raped. Buddy, you need your fuckin ass beat. Then you got the guy whose sister was molested who hopes he runs into the guys someday. Yeah, what'll you do if you see him, shit your pants and throw it at him? If it was my sister, I wouldn't have to hope, I'd find the fucker. There are people who do things in this world and people who talk about doing them. I think there's a lot of the latter on this site. Shit, we got a fucker here in colorado that said fuck it, I'm killing Bin Laden and he goes to Pakistan and tries to do just that. So if you hate Polanski that much, do something about iot. In the meantime, one to more important matters, no, Ricci doesn't do full frontal in After.Life, dammit.
