THE PLOT THICKENS

[tencrush]

Ethan Coen, Sam Mendes, Nathalie Portman, Penelope Cruz, Harrison Ford, Jeremy Irons, Kristin Scott Thomas... if you can find me more, let me know, but these people's names have all appeared on the Roman Polanski RAPE=OKAY! rape apologists list... AND HAVE SINCE BEEN TAKEN OFF AGAIN. Oh, wait, no, scratch that, Ford, Irons, Portman, Mendes, and Scott Thomas signed the Bernard Henry Levi petition. The others were on the other petition, I saw the names myself and now they're not there. So that's Penelope Cruz and Ethan Coen and I'm sure there was another woman who's since disappeared, but I can't for the life of me remember who. I know of these two, at least, because Cruz' appearance on the list was a reason for me to start composing a post in my head about how it had given me a valid reason for my completely illogical violent hatred of Penelope Cruz. She's the sort of woman who makes me change the channel hastily and with a degree of venom I only reserve for a precious few. And Ethan Coen because I saw his name and wondered A) WHYYYY LORD, WHYYYY? and B) Why no Joel?

Anyway, you still have my blessing to boycott that new Gilliam film tomorrow on RAPE=RAPE-and-if-fucking-a-drugged-thirteen-year-old-who's-repeatedly-said-no-in-the-ASS-doesn't-qualify-I-don't-know-what-does Day. Fuck you, Gilliam. Fuck you IN THE ASS.
