Knew QT was shooting in large format; didn't know about the ultra pan. Thanks for that.

Thanks for reading my arguments, but you did leave a few big parts out. Very briefly:

What's this 'credibility' you speak of?

Or maybe a butch Jennifer Ehle

People forget what a grand visual achievement it is, in addition to the writing (although you've perused the Chris Marker original, which is haunting in its own way?)

Mom!?

Camille Claudel is a good one, if a downer: http://www.imdb.com/title/t…

How is that not Edward Furlong?

Unless your erect dick counts as a separate person, I don't see how you are using the pronoun "we."

"The judges shitty conduct could very easily have been appealed"

"I'm well aware of that, but if they're not getting in trouble for raping someone, they're likely not going to get into any more trouble for manipulating that person into not testifying against them."

Let me ask you this: how long would sentence him, today, for the charge of rape (or whatever the verbiage was back then)?

I am dancer.

Welp, according to the groupthink putting Polanski in the slammer for the rest of his life will "send a powerful message" to other Polanskis.

What you say is true, but keep in mind Polanki's case involved misconduct on the part of the judge, which muddies the waters.

"if they did all it would take for any defendant to win a case would be to manipulate their victims, for the victims to get too afraid of the court case"

Who's talking about precedents? I'm speaking on an ethical plane. I understand the law is the law, and I doubt a judge will throw out the case against RP because he went on the lam. All I'm arguing is that it isn't a "right" or "good" thing for Rp to be put in jail at this juncture.

I think it's a little rich to tie the Cosby thing to Polanski. If anything, you have more incentive to go to the cops with a rich guy, like the DSK thing a few years ago, because rich people have money, AND they might go to prison, and get a grandstanding DA to really stick it to them in court. With some broke-ass,…

What if he's not dangerous anymore?

Or: "rraaaaaahhghghg you have a different opinion than me you must support child rape rrraaaaaggghhh!"
