>Roman POlanski's THE PIANIST. Scorsese was the first (or among the first) to give the absent Roman Polanski his standing ovation. What it would have been like if its really POlanski who is there while the handcuffs are being put on him. Kiddin'.<
i did not see the oscars but this is a strange situation...i don't understand how people can give a standing ovation to polanski, overlooking what he did & ran from...bill maher brought that up this topic recently & many there (including me) were suprised to learn the details of his having sex with an underaged girl...she was 13 & he drugged & raped her...according to the trial testimony and here's part of the michael moore speech someone just sent to me: "We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man who's sending us to war for fictitious reasons, whether it's the fiction of duct tape or the fiction of orange alerts. We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Any time you've got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up." ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ******************************************** "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
