She was denied justice after the attack despite the fact that her rapist
confessed. Her rapist has remained a high-profile person able to enjoy
wealth, fame, and make a whole lot more movies. For her whole life, people have been talking about how she was very brutally raped by a very famous person. This must be a…

Sorry Chancellor, but the victim's wishes can only carry so much weight. Sheltie is right that dragging his name through the mud is the only way he's ever going to get punished. Since there are so many people who are ready to let the whole thing go because, dude, Chinatown, it's even more important to keep up the…

I'm just fucking sick of people using her forgiveness to argue that Polanski ought to be let off the hook. Her forgiveness is her own business, and while I sympathize with her desire to have people finally stop talking about it, Polanski is still a sick fuck who brutally raped a 13 year old girl and fled the country…

She's hiring a string section. Those are musicians who will in all likelihood play classical music for most of their careers, and you can't play in an orchestra if you're not highly skilled.

Do you have a charcoal grill? If you do, get some mesquite smoke chips. You can mesquite-grill just about anything and it'll be tasty.
