Curious, did all of them know the acts committed (including compelling evidence) by him at that time?

I am just wondering if their support was circumstantial.

I don't see Pacino, Deniro, Walken, Steve Martin, Bill Murray or Chevy Chase anywhere on that list, so I guess my favorites are safe

Don't scare me with a title like that.
Glad to be ignorant here. Don't know like 90% or more of these people, and none of them mean anything to me. Relieved.

By favorites did you mean mainly French actors? I only saw Wes Anderson and Woody Allen.

Never even heard of most of these people, but fuck you very much for the guilt-by-association, trollerific, "you're no better" shitposting thread title, OP. You make this place worse with that kind of slime.

You could've well made the same point without going out of your way to try to make others feel bad for actions they have no control over, but you went this route instead?

Besides a few directors, the only person whose works I've seen and enjoyed on that list is Tilda Swinton. But no OP, that list isn't "all your favourites" for anyone. Hell there isn't a single popular actor in that list. Who the fuck are most of these people?

To be honest I don't think this is the whole list. I don't even know how many people were actually part of the standing O either.

I recognize three names on that list (Allen, Anderson, and Landis) and I don't care for any of them.

Pretty disappointing, though I wonder if some of them signed it with the impression they were signaling respect for and appreciation of the man's artistic corpus (which is indeed impressive), rather than approval/condoning of his personal conduct. Hell, I'd sign something that said, "Polanski is a scumbag, but "Knife in the Water" and "Repulsion" are still worthy of being watched, studied, and praised."

They're just a product of their time!

Seriously though, disappointed in Lynch and Scorsese but I shouldn't be too surprised.

I thought they were against the arest at Caines? I would say the list of people who actually worked with him since his crimes are more damning.

You're going to work a lot harder than that to make me not like Monica Bellucci! <3

...assumimg that was your intent? It's not really clear what the OP proposes we do with this information.

Tilda was somewhat unexpected

Scorsese, Wes and Cuaron were kinda expected despite how much I love their work

Apart from that, no other favorites at all.

considering how quick emma thompson was to take her name off the list i wonder how many of them just signed some random ass shit without a second thought. and i doubt too many of them have been asked about it later so they probably haven't even felt the need to do anything about it.

I have never seen a Polanski film, now that I think about it. I have on and off considered watching Rosrmary's Baby.

Edit : Fuck me Terry Gilliam

This is good. The veneer of celebrity is waning and hopefully the modern self imposed monarchy the populace chose by worshipping people like this will go up in flames. A democracy of any kind shouldn't have fucking royal bloodlines. Shame about Lynch though.

What exactly was the wording of the petition?

I bought Tess on bluray a few months ago, you could argue that means I 'support' him too.

Petition was in 2009. And zero.

It is amazing the mental gymnastics people will do to rationalize this. Holy fuck. The petition relates specifically to his heinous acts.

Like I stated in another thread, I disagree with their support of Polanski but that one decision, however wrong, doesn't make them bad people.

That said, fuck Polanski.
