Where's the thread where I request to see how many people I've suggest banned?

i am trying to parse that "we who have the privilege" line. do they mean "we, who are not charged with crimes, and are lucky enough to continue making movies, should come to the defence of polanski"? surely they can't mean "we, who make movies and should therefore be treated differently"?

I think you're being too generous.

"the thing is, it totally does make them special snowflakes ;_;"
It sure does, but not for the purpose of deciding who and who does not get prosecuted for crimes.

I think they're just acknowledging that being able to make movies is a privelege (as opposed to, say, a god-given right, or something that everybody does)

how is that relevant to their point though?

I'm starting to think they're just idiots.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 17:57 (fourteen years ago) link
it's not relevant, they're just self-absorbed and feel compelled to mention how special (and of course, how GRATEFUL) they are

I find this whole scandal great if it gets everyone to watch The Tenant.
You mean the Polanski-rape scandal or the Eric H.-Suggest Ban scandal?

agreed, or if it just gets his lawyers to declare him the King of Pop.

xpost I've seen Pirates, but it was a long time ago and I don't really remember it but I'm pretty sure it was crap. There seems to be a curse on Polanski's post-rape moviemaking, has he really made a good one since then? I haven't seen Tess. I have seen The Pianist, but I didn't find it as good as everyone said it was.

Yesterday evening I had a very heated debate about this case with my best friend. In all honesty I nearly stood up and walked away. Instead I was practically shouting. She kept giving alternatives: "she probably looked 25, why did her mom let her to the house with adults, it's Hollywood!" I kept repeating that he DRUGGED and RAPED teh girl. I asked her if she ever needed Qualudes to be fucked with her permission (does that make sense in English?) She kept saying where did I read this. I asked her where she got her information and I found out she knew NOTHING about this except "that his wife was brutally murdered." Like what? But ath end of the arguement I actually excused myself for being so verbally aggressive. It's not really worth it. In this case my friend's the idiot but who am I? In other cases I'm probably an idiot.
