Sweet! You're hardcore, I never see the shorts.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I've never seen them before, but now I would do it again in a heart beat. Both programs were really good, with great audiences, and it's nice to have an opinion on these categories for once.

The new Polanski has gotten rave reviews. I have refused to see any Polanski movies since "Frantic" (it was after seeing that that I learned about the rape case - I had been wrongly informed of the circumstances previously).
Other people work on the movies, and I have nothing against them. Yet, I feel complicit in yuckiness by seeing his films.
ETA: Even if he had served the time he was sentenced, I would still feel yucky. The fugitive part is immaterial to the yuckiness.
And yet I know a lot of my favorite composers, artists, authors, etc were real assholes and it doesn't stop me from listening to their music or owning prints of their art or reading their books. Sigh.

If you threw all of the perverts out of my music collection it'd look pretty sad.

Right? I just can't get around the Polanksi thing and I don't know why it feels different. It might be a reaction to all of the pro-Polanski shit that went down when he was arrested in Switzerland.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have considered boycotting everyone who works with Polanski. I'm not sure if I'd feel different if he'd served his time.

Laga, that would be a damned long list, huh?

I think of perversion as taboo sexual behavior between consenting adults. Rape =/= perversion in my book. Rape is a crime.

And it would include Ewan MacGregor. IJS.
