Rosemarys Baby was OK

OK? Rosemary's Baby was the Devil.

Did Polanski try to fuck her as well?

"So who did then?"

It was said in court that Polanski lured her to Jack Nicholson's home on the prextext of carrying out a photoshoot. Polanski didn't contest this.

All the stuff about the actual case is over thirty years old. What's interesting to me is listening to the BBC people on the Today program tie themselves in knots so as not to have to condemn Polanski as a criminal.

Almost every day they read out news stories about people being convicted of sex crimes from decades ago. No mention is ever made of the social and cultural environment of those times, or of the politically correct feminist agenda nowadays that presumes to present a more truthful image of the relationship between the sexes.

Compared with some of the evidence-free, word-of-anonymous-protected-victim, police-trawled, miscarriages of justice, Polanski doesn't have a leg to stand on.

It is one thing to feel sympathetic and understand why he went on the run - but quite another to justify it on any of the terms I've heard about. He pled guilty and jumped bail before sentencing. Once he has been arrested (by the Swiss) nobody has any choice but to send him back to the US.

Hollywood has always been a magnet for precocious teenagers, and before the Easy Riders & Raging Bulls of the late sixties came along, moguls, producers, and actors were able to indulge themselves in private without fear of being arrested, let alone charged.

Personally, I think there was some sort of backlash against Polanski's generation and that his trial was a bit political. It's a pity.

What we should learn from this is just how vindictive the US legal authorities are, but also just how selectively they pursue fugitives. Because those thirty years have led to a modern world in which relentless vengeance (the staple, ironically, of many Hollywood blockbusters) has replaced justice and mercy.

It would also help if we really began to see through that feminist paradigm of the relationship between men and women. It presumes that women are victims without giving equal recognition to the female ability to manipulate and confuse men through emotional and psycho-sexual games-playing.

Life used to be so much simpler - I've just been listening to to Tom Petty live at the Hammersmith Odeon (03/06/1980) singing this:


(GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS) WERE MADE TO LOVE
(Phil Everly)

Lyrics by Eddie Hodges - 1962



My father looked at me one day, said "Son, it's plain to see
That you're getting older and should have a talk with me
You'll soon be going on lots of dates as to a man you grow
And there's one important thing ev'ry boy should know"

And that is
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why some have eyes of blue
That's why some stand five foot two
'Cause girls, girls, girls were made to love

One day soon you'll have a date and you'll take her home that night
Then you'll find you'll wonder would a kiss be right
The more you look, the more you'll find those doubts will fill your
head
But think real hard and you might recall what your ol' Dad said"

He said that
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why ya watch 'em walk down the street
That's why their kisses taste awful sweet
'Cause girls, girls, girls were made to love

"Then you'll meet that special girl who'll sweep your off your feet
You'll want to say you love her, but you'll find it hard to speak
This is a time when you'll find it's better left unsaid
Just tell 'er like I told your Mom, with a kiss instead"

Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
That's why ya watch 'em walk down the street
That's why their kisses taste awful sweet
'cause girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made to love
Girls, girls, girls were made........FADE

For mine the horse has bolted and any sentence is just for show

The law makers in the US of A should be making sure any other people who commit similar criminal acts can be extradited from where ever.

By 2001 the United States had treaties containing extradition agreements with 107 of the 190 nations in the world.

Hell of a lot of countries to run to if you break the law in uncle sammies backyard
