Samantha Geimer forgave Polanski it's just mean-spirited babymen calling for his balls to be forcibly removed. just because he drugged raped and sodomized a thirteen-year old girl while she repeatedly said no doesn't mean he should be ostracized, like, forever

Samantha Geimer posted:

"What I was really trying to say to those who called is, I don’t care. I don’t care what anyone says, I’m not upset, this and worse has been happening to me for years. And mostly, I am aware that my rape is being used to attack him and I really don’t like that

Aside from his art, I think the circumstances of Polanski's life probably made him more sympathetic to a lot of people than just some guy would have been. Surviving the Holocaust and having his pregnant wife murdered by the Manson Family certainly qualifies him as having a tragic backstory.

The fun part is Polanski was a horrible womanizer and even admitted he was always hitting on women even after he was married.

Fun fact: Manson used sex to control his Family and it's well noted that if someone wasn't into, say, anal sex, that was what Manson would do to them to bring them into the fold. Ex-Family members gave testimony about that poo poo. So Manson raped teenage girls, Polanksi raped a teen girl, they might have been able to swap tips.

It is a sad pity Tate didn't stay in Europe but flew home while her husband filmed. I can't see the world a worse place if Manson's goons had killed Polanski instead.

i had no idea mel gibson had done/said some of the things he did referred to earlier in this thread:

quote:

The persecution of Mel Gibson—a famous white man with a fortune well over $400 million—only intensified. Two years later, he was arrested for drunk driving in Malibu. Doubling down on his bad decisions for the day, Gibson took this opportunity to unleash a trigger warning-worthy tirade of word vomit. He called a female police officer “sugar tits,” and told another arresting officer, “I own Malibu… I am going to gently caress you.”

When another tape surfaced, in which Gibson admitted to hitting Oksana while she was holding their baby daughter. During the recording, Oksana cries, “What kind of a man is that who would hit a woman when she is holding a child in her hands, hitting her twice in the face? What kind of man is that?” Mel responds, “You know what? You loving deserved it.”

In 1991, he shared his opinions on gay men with Spanish newspaper El Pais: “They take it up the rear end. [laughs, stands up, bends over, points to anus] This is only for taking a poo poo.” He continued, “With this look, who’s going to think I’m gay? I don’t lend myself to that type of confusion. Do I look like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?” Four years later, when asked if he intended to issue a GLAAD-recommended apology to gays and lesbians, Mel insisted, “I’ll apologize when hell freezes over. They can gently caress off.” And when Frank Rich violated the eleventh commandment by criticizing The Passion of the Christ, Gibson came after the columnist, saying, “I want to kill him…I want his intestines on a stick…I want to kill his dog.”

well, i'm still going to watch his films, as they're pretty good, but no way am i going to pay money for it

This looks a lot like suffering.
Regardless of how anybody feels about the original crime, he fled, which is a crime in itself. I'm sure he's living a great life in Europe so I don't really feel bad for him in the slightest with regards to his legal troubles.

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.

I think anyone with any kind of clout, power or seniority in Hollywood by now has lawyered the gently caress up and gone on the offensive regardless if they have a skeleton in the closet or not. I mean, Tarantino is into weird kinky poo poo which is like whatever gets you off if it's not illegal and has consenting adults. If the worst thing to come out is a very bad judgment call regarding a stunt scene in a movie and being a rape apologist when EVERYONE in Hollywood was when Polanski got nominated for The Pianist 15 years ago (it's not fair to single him out but to judge Hollywood itself) then maybe he really doesn't have Weinstein-level poo poo. Even his apology for the Thurman stunt car decision came off pretty genuine to me and not "im gay"-style Kevin Spacey deflection.

I will fully admit I have sympathy for him with the car stunt thing.

Because the stunt was "drive in a straight line at a reasonable speed." Like, it's kind of mind blowing she hosed that up in 30 seconds. She must be like Mr. Magoo or something.

She claims the car was broken and they couldn't find anyone to fix what is essentially a VW beetle in Mexico.

I'm really curious what was so unsafe about the car and if it could've been as simple as "doesn't, and never did, have power steering" or "seatbelts were unavailable as a factory option"

E: in any case, leaving the stunt coordinator out of the loop and not having someone competent give the vehicle and the shot plan a once-over was dumb as gently caress on Tarantino's part, I'm not trying to apologize for him.
