Polanski and Cosby get the boot; Polanski victim not satisfied

[JonesBones]

It is a hollow gesture at this point. NOW they suspend Polanksi? And they sneak him in along with Cosby.


The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made a big move this week to expel director Roman Polanski from its membership, but his accuser Samantha Geimer says she’s not impressed.

“It is an ugly and cruel action which serves only appearance,” Geimer said. “It does nothing to change the sexist culture in Hollywood today and simply proves that they will eat their own to survive. I say to Roman, good riddance to bad rubbish, the Academy has no true honor, it’s all just PR.

“They could at least expel him on his own, but to tag him onto Cosby, what a bunch of douchebags,” she continued.

Absolutely disgusting....

Spoiler

that Rob Marshall was nominated for "Chicago".

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

But Whoopi said it wasn't "rape rape".

These are the people constantly moralizing to us. Degenerates.

I heard a theory that the reason they booted Polanski was because they were going to boot Cosby and didn't want to look like racists. (kind of like Amy Schumer not wanting to look like a pig).

But Whoopi said it wasn't "rape rape".

Well, it is not like he performed forced sex on a real person, like an actor, but merely a peasant and she doesn't even donate to the DNC ffs!

Polanski should have been taken out of Switzerland with a bag over his head and put into prison/dropped in the ocean.

Racist, hypocritical, or both. Who cares though? It's just some phony gesture. It's not like they just found out about Polanski. He's been on the lamb for decades. He plead guilty. They didn't give a fuck. Now all of a sudden they're going to try and pretend they didn't celebrate this man, and give him awards, all while the crime he committed was widely known by everyone? Yeah, okay.

Give me a fuckin' break, Hollywood. You know, it would've actually been better if they didn't include Polanski is this "banning", or whatever the fuck. There's something a bit more respectable about them sticking to their guns, and not giving a shit about what he did, rather than this empty, and quite frankly, insulting gesture.

That is precisely the gripe of the victim. They slid him in there with Cosby. Cosby is the one more in the news and seems to be the catalyst for Polanski too. Like a piggyback. "Might as well deal with this Polanski thing too." Like an afterthought.

It's kind of baffling why they would even draw attention to it. I don't think anyone was even thinking of Polanski, with the Cosby shit. Now they've opened this door to them looking like complete phonies(not that it was ever really in question), who only care now, because it's trendy.

I really don't believe they've thought this through.

 

[Bagatur]

this whole Polanski thing shows what a fucked place Hollywood is. just fucking disgusting.
and there is no way that POS Nicholson didnt know what Polanski was gonna use his home for.

 

[Madmick]

But Whoopi said it wasn't "rape rape".

So "gray area rape"?

 

[sangreporsangre]

Wow what a brave stand. How many Oscars has Polanski won or been nominated for in the years since he fled that rape charge?

Oh, I completely agree with you. Polanski PLEAD guilty then fled before being sentenced. So it was not "oh he might be innocent". Hollywood awarded him.
Now, nothing else has happened as far as Polanski and the law goes since THEY AWARDED him and now they try to erase him like some Mad Arab strapping dynamite to the head of a Sphinx.

Total hypocrites without a doubt.

So "gray area rape"?

Lol, "Before you think about being rapey, look at this pic of Amy Schumer then decide if you ever want sex again."

 

[hillelslovak87]

Hollywood be like

 

[Trotsky]

But Whoopi said it wasn't "rape rape".

I'm guessing she means it wasn't classically forcible, as opposed to nonconsentable.

But....IIRC, the victim's account is that it WAS forcible, unless I'm mistaken.

Never understood how Polanski retained his popularity. His film making was objectively good, and that can be insisted upon, but the guy fucked a child. He's a phile.

Carbon copy of the TV evangelicals from years past. Seems like those who screech loudest are usually the worst hypocrites.

That your first time seeing that clip ??

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

As phony as it gets.

They knew about his relationship with the girl for years, yet did nothing about it; They even awarded him an Oscar, and a plethora of Actors and Actresses signed a huge petition to get him back into the States. Let's pretend we're all disgusted with him now, though.

Hollyweird is fucking fake and evil. They sold their souls... remember that when you see any of them in their bleeding heart Liberal commercials coercing the rest of the left, which btw, are all HEROES to the leftists. Don't let them tell you they're not or that they don't listen to celebrities.

Meryl Streep is sick in the head like the rest and these are heroes to the left (Democrats) that they look up too.

 

[trident]

Did she really call them douchebags?

Thats great
