HAS ANY RELATIONSHIP EVER WORKED WITH YOUUU!

NOOO!!!!

I NEED A FUCKIN' WOMAN!

THIS IS MEEEEAN!!!

YOU GET IT? YOU GET IT NOW?

WHAT MEEEEAN IS?!?

I would think it would be hard to smile and blow someone. You really need your mouth to be in an "O" shape to perform that particular act correctly.

That's just unrealistic expectations.

the new transported man you freaked my shit right out then and I don't know why.

I have a weird high going on at the moment like I'm buzzed on SO MUCH caffeine which I'm just not and your posts tapped right into it and ascared me

Here Nadine, this will mollify your nerves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9ge02eybjY

Whoopi lost me when she characterized Roman Polanski's acts as "not rape rape."

You need to stop plugging the Spider-Man crap.

Laughingstock incoming.

Again, reboot how many months after the last run?

Bringing back the Osbornes?

What's going to make this set different from the last?

Yeah, thought so.

Kate, when Whoopi said black culture was 'just different' she means like ' dogs ripping one another to pieces is totally an ancient tradition carried over from Africa' or is she actually debasing her own race by collectively calling them dog fight supporters?
Because, Whoopi, I know a few of the chocolateJibans(delicious!) and I'm very confident they dont support dog fighting.

Damn it Whoopi.

Considering I have spent the last 6 months or so writing a novel not knowing that it has the same plot as Niccol's I'm.mortal, this news does indeed razz my berries. It razzes them good. :(

Carcetti as Littlefinger is genius. Everytime I think I can't get any more excited about this series, they announce some new bit of casting news that gets me even more excited.

It's not only the fact that they are pulling in some great actors to fill roles, but also the fact of the characters they are casting. They recently announced casting the roles of characters like Syrio Florel and Rast (one of black brothers Yoren is taking up to the Wall). I love the fact that they are casting these roles, it means that they are really delving deep and not cutting out big swaths of coolness.

Also, the casting of Conan Stevens as Gregor Clegane is inspired.

The continuing presence of Whoopie anywhere in the universe baffles me. How old are "Ghost" and "Sister Act," and how did she get a lifetime pass out of them?

Rast (one of black brothers Yoren is taking up to the Wall).

No, Forbiddendonut, Rast is already at the Wall. He's one of the bullies there. The whole Yoren trip to the Wall part doesn't take place until Book 2.

Excerpt from the New York Daily News:

Roman Polanski's most compelling defender is the woman he raped at Jack Nicholson's house when she was just 13.

Now 45, Samantha Geimer is a mother of three who lives quietly in Hawaii and works as a bookkeeper.

In January, Geimer, who publicly forgave Polanski in 1997, filed a formal request that Los Angeles prosecutors drop the charges against him.

"I have survived, indeed prevailed, against whatever harm Mr. Polanski may have caused me as a child," she said at the time. "I got over it a long time ago."

Geimer said Polanski had paid, and she wanted to move on and stop reliving the details of the assault every time he made headlines.

"True as they may be, the continued publication of those details causes harm to me, my beloved husband, my three children and my mother," she said.

In 2003, she wrote a generous Op-Ed in the Los Angeles Times, saying Polanski should not be barred from receiving a Best Director Oscar for "The Pianist."

"I don't really have any hard feelings toward him, or any sympathy, either. He is a stranger to me," she wrote.

The last time Geimer saw Polanski she was a 13-year-old aspiring model lured to a house in the Hollywood Hills for a photo shoot. Polanski plied her with champagne and a Quaalude and took nude pictures of her in a hot tub, despite her requests to go home.

She told the grand jury Polanski then had sex with her and that she was afraid to resist "much."

The director later pleaded guilty to having sex with a minor.

"What happened that night, it's hard to believe, but it paled in comparison to what happened to me in the next year of my life," she said last year, when she appeared in a documentary about problems with the case.

In the end, she was relieved when Polanski fled because reporters stopped calling.

"He did something really gross to me, but it was the media that ruined my life," she told People in 1997.

LA Times Op-Ed: February 23, 2003|Samantha Geimer

I met Roman Polanski in 1977, when I was 13 years old. I was in ninth grade that year, when he told my mother that he wanted to shoot pictures of me for a French magazine. That's what he said, but instead, after shooting pictures of me at Jack Nicholson's house on Mulholland Drive, he did something quite different. He gave me champagne and a piece of a Quaalude. And then he took advantage of me.

It was not consensual sex by any means. I said no, repeatedly, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. I was alone and I didn't know what to do. It was scary and, looking back, very creepy. Those may sound like kindergarten words, but that's the way it feels to me. It was a very long time ago, and it is hard to remember exactly the way everything happened. But I've had to repeat the story so many times, I know it by heart.

We pressed charges, and he pleaded guilty. A plea bargain was agreed to by his lawyer, my lawyer and the district attorney, and it was approved by the judge. But to our amazement, at the last minute the judge went back on his word and refused to honor the deal.

Worried that he was going to have to spend 50 years in prison -- rather than just time already served -- Mr. Polanski fled the country. He's never been back, and I haven't seen him or spoken to him since.

Looking back, there can be no question that he did something awful. It was a terrible thing to do to a young girl. But it was also 25 years ago -- 26 years next month. And, honestly, the publicity surrounding it was so traumatic that what he did to me seemed to pale in comparison.

Now that he's been nominated for an Academy Award, it's all being reopened. I'm being asked: Should he be given the award? Should he be rewarded for his behavior? Should he be allowed back into the United States after fleeing 25 years ago?

Here's the way I feel about it: I don't really have any hard feelings toward him, or any sympathy, either. He is a stranger to me.

But I believe that Mr. Polanski and his film should be honored according to the quality of the work. What he does for a living and how good he is at it have nothing to do with me or what he did to me. I don't think it would be fair to take past events into consideration. I think that the academy members should vote for the movies they feel deserve it. Not for people they feel are popular.

And should he come back? I have to imagine he would rather not be a fugitive and be able to travel freely. Personally, I would like to see that happen. He never should have been put in the position that led him to flee. He should have received a sentence of time served 25 years ago, just as we all agreed. At that time, my lawyer, Lawrence Silver, wrote to the judge that the plea agreement should be accepted and that that guilty plea would be sufficient contrition to satisfy us. I have not changed my mind.

I know there is a price to pay for running. But who wouldn't think about running when facing a 50-year sentence from a judge who was clearly more interested in his own reputation than a fair judgment or even the well-being of the victim?

If he could resolve his problems, I'd be happy. I hope that would mean I'd never have to talk about this again. Sometimes I feel like we both got a life sentence.

My attitude surprises many people. That's because they didn't go through it all; they don't know everything that I know. People don't understand that the judge went back on his word. They don't know how unfairly we were all treated by the press. Talk about feeling violated! The media made that year a living hell, and I've been trying to put it behind me ever since.

Today, I am very happy with my life. I have three sons and a husband. I live in a beautiful place and I enjoy my work. What more could I ask for? No one needs to worry about me.

The one thing that bothers me is that what happened to me in 1977 continues to happen to girls every day, yet people are interested in me because Mr. Polanski is a celebrity. That just never seems right to me. It makes me feel guilty that this attention is directed at me, when there are certainly others out there who could really use it.

This quote sums up so much that is wrong with the world:

"He did something really gross to me, but it was the media that ruined my life"

Mickey Rouke also defended Mel. That makes 2. It's a consensus.

On the other hand, I thought Whoopi was terrific in Predators.

Huh. Brand doesn't look nearly as repulsive without all that shit on his face and his body. And when he's not in the vicinity of Katy Perry, who ruins everything.

Listen, I don't want people to think I'm defending Roman Polanski (or Mel Gibson or any of these idiots); I couldn't care less about the man. It's sounds to me like he drugged a young girl and bullied her into sex -- rape by anyone's standards. However, I must play devil's advocate here and call bullshit where I see it.

The life of a person should not be summarized with an emphatic "Period." There is more to his life than one selfish, deplorable act. A person could just as easily say, "He survived the holocaust. Period." --or-- "His wife and child were murdered. Period." The life of an individual is not black and white, or easily summarized with punctuation. None of us know the man. We have no idea what kind of greif he suffers or what kind of redemption he's sought, or if those words even hold meaning for him. Devil. Victim. It does not matter. He's both. He's neither. He's a stranger.

And now I like Whoopi even less than Mel. Didn't think that was possible. (Honestly, I don't know how anyone can watch The View - it's like listening to vuvuzuelas for an hour, and has just as much value.)

However, now I love Ed Norton more than I did before. Didn't think that was possible either. :)

The Gibson recordings sound like Oksana(?) is winding stupid Mel up and then hitting record so she can use his inarticulate rage to her advantage. I'm not defending his actions, I'm just saying.
Also, I've known black-out drunks who could look and sound sober.
His life is turning to shit, even if it's his fault I still feel bad for him that it's playing out in front of the entire world.

I am going straight to hell, the new transported man, for enjoying that Bale/Gibson mashup as much as I did.

So, thank you?

"I don't understand. I get the breast implants. I pose for the pictures in my underwear. I fuck the married man. I steal him from the mother of his seven children. I give the tapes of his private phone calls to the media. And he calls me a whore? How dare he! I am so upset I can hardly speak. If you wish to know more, please tune in to my reality TV show next season, where I will tearfully plead that you all should all give my child her privacy."

Superasente you made your point well but I dont buy it. We CAN summarise Polanski in one word; rapist.

Legally, physically, emotionally. He raped. He committed rape. The girl he attacked was raped and is a rape victim.
So victim, devil, no. Rapist. Period. Yes.
I know you're not defending him but arguably you're white washing what he did.

It's not like the example someone brought up of an 18 year old landing a rape conviction for consensual sex with his two years younger girlfriend where the label 'rapist' is inappropriate because it was a consensual sexual act turned crime due to the limitations of the law.
Polanski took a THIRTEEN year old, drugged her, ignored her pleas for him to stop, and raped her. He forced sex acts on her. He can be summed up in one word as a rapist.
