Milan Kundera is a novelist not a film maker. No movies pending indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou should at least find out who people are before boycotting them. Kundera is one of the great champions of the novel and of free speech.
I advise you to read him on the Rhusdie fatwa before starting your own
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/290164/salman_rushdies_fatwa_discussed_by.html
Having said that I support the extradition of Polanski for his crimes. But take Kundera off the list because suggesting he is a film maker will make you a laughing stock.
Thanks for this list! I will USE it and maybe even write letters!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't in danger of patronizing most of these, but I do find it a shame that Harrison Ford is on the list.
ReplyDeleteI guess it shows what a great actor he really is. All this time, I'd transfered the nobility of characters like Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan and even ruffian Han Solo to the actor himself. My bad.
I have no doubt the characters mentioned would no just what to do with a man who takes advantage of a girl in the way Polanski did. I don't picture Indy lining up to sign a petition in favor of what used to be called a dirty old man.
But I guess it will be a pass on Indiana 5 for my house.
Looking at the length of that list, I shouldn't be going to any movies. Then again, I doubt that list of supporters of child rape are too concerned about losing my business. I can't remember the last movie I saw in the theater.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford is on the list??!?
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOO!
Indy! Oh, Harrison Ford, what could you be thinking??
ReplyDeleteActually thank you Henry94. Good point. I marked Rushdie as a novelist but was wrong not to point of Kundera. And thank you again for pointing that out because I rechecked another name and Levy is a philosopher not a director. Oops. I've made corrections but I am removing no one from this list because whatever their profession, they deserve to be named and shamed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list.
ReplyDeleteHow about a list of those who have spoken out in favor of his extradition and punishment?
Yeah, it would be short, but useful.
Worst part here: Harrison Ford.
ReplyDeleteI've linked to you at my blog, too. (The Anchoress sent me here, BTW.)
I so rarely go to movies that it's unlikely I can join the boycott. But I'll not be there in spirit.
ReplyDeleteI saw Lisa Kudrow on TV slamming the Polanski supporters, saying "what does this tell 12 and 13 yo girls?"
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine The Soccar Mom.
ReplyDeleteTim Maguire, I am suggesting avoidance, not boycott. Everyone must decide what is right within their own hearts and how you choose to spend your hard-earned money is your business.
Edmund, if you go to my source links at the bottom of post and click on Here D it will take you to a National Review article which then links to a CNN video clip of Lisa Kudrow saying "I have very mixed personal feelings." No one should have "mixed personal feelings" about a child being raped. While she may have adjusted her stance, what she said can't be taken back completely.
