I get that celebrities can think for themselves, but they better stop being so in my face about it....specifically in regards to the whole Roman Polanski mess. The more names I see signing a petition to free Roman, the more I start losing respect for everyone on the list. Today I find out that Natalie Portman just signed. wtF??? I guess it's hard for me to understand their position because a) I'm not in Hollywood and b) it's hard for me to understand how genius Roman is (he directed a few movies?). There's no denying he has had a rough life, aside from the troubles he's made for himself, but does that entitle him to get out of jail free cards for the rest of his life?
Sidenote - it's interesting that Jack Nicholson hasn't signed or said anything at this point considering it happened at his house.

You're dead on Suz. Polanski deserves his arrest. The outrage is understandable. If he were your grandfather, you might agree with Scorcese, Ford, Portman, et al. I think most people would, because they are unbiased.
Polanski happens to have many famous friends who feel the way you or I might were we connected to this. I hope they aren't powerful enough to actually get him released.
fuck. celebrity. privilege.
