ezra pound was extremely influential towards a very important, even crucial area of american poetry, and indeed the one i wrote my dissertation upon...his protege louis zukofsky, curator of 'an 'objectivists' anthology', claimed a huge debt towards pound even if his own status as a russian jew set him at great political odds with pound as the 30's wore on...hence ezra pound, while his poetry contains distasteful elements, and while some personal viewpoints may have been morally repugnant, is an important and great figure within modernist poetry

yes, but for one, Charlie Chaplin married Oona!
Isn't there another Polanski thread out there to do this on? I started this one in celebration of his movies.
Maybe there should be an I Love Film board?
So, who's ever seen Cul de Sac?

The Guardian and The Independent have pieces today saying the dogs should be called off. The Times and The Telegraph say they shouldn't. I say: why has this become a left-right issue? Is that all that 'left' is nowadays, being against stuff?

i think my fav. thing abt this thread is how many ppl like to gratuitously post some combination of "anal" "rape" "child" and "13 year old"

The Guardian actually has a disclaimer noting that it wasn't rape.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 15:00 (fourteen years ago) link
my point is basically that this thread sucks i guess
― yellow card for favre (call all destroyer), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 15:00 (fourteen years ago) link
I can't argue with that
really? that's weird because it was, but oh yeah, polanski sued vanity fair in london for saying so the other year and for some reason he was allowed to testify via skype.

• Some commenters have simply used the term "rape" in relation to Roman Polanski's 1977 conviction. The offence he pleaded guilty to is often described as "statutory rape" but more precisely as "unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor".

He sued for libel? The story has to be injurious to one's reputation - not a distinction I'd fancy trying to make.
