You can click on the second link for the entire list, it says: http://www.sacd.fr/Le-cinema-soutient-Roman-Polanski-Petition-for-Roman-Polanski.1340.0.html and then just the names: http://www.sacd.fr/Tous-les-signataires-de-la-petition-All-signing-parties.1341.0.html Thompson and Portman aren't listed, so not sure if Portman pulled out as well, since it says it's dated October 29.

Thompson and Portman aren’t listed, so not sure if Portman pulled out as well, since it says it’s dated October 29.

How hard was his life exactly? I'm sure he wasn't living in squalor and dinning on spam. Not even close I would say. But apparently to Emma it more than makes up for the rape of a child. It's good she decided to take her name off. To that I say better late than never. But she gets no applaud from me. She pulled her name off cause of the fans request. Not because she believes he needs to be punished. I agree with Kate. How hard was his life exactly? I’m sure he wasn’t living in squalor and dinning on spam. Not even close I would say.

Maybe people will follow her example. That piece of shit Polanski does not deserve being released. Boo hoo, blame it on a rough life...what did that child do to him that warranted his actions? This topic has done pissed me off. So now what...every convicted sex offender can get a petition going? Our judicial system is so fucked.

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:06:17 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=79116#comment-511112 I would love to boycott every one of them but I don't go to the movies anymore since I'm not seventeen or into being scared and I don't buy them either. The best I can do is bypass them on tv or not rent their videos. Is there a published petition with all the names somewhere? I'd love to be made aware of the vermin I want to boycott. I rage inside to think that a lot of these folks have sisters or even daughters and STILL they put their signature down thinking that they are taking the high road.

I was very disappointed to read this: “Even though, she stressed, Polanski has had some truly terrible experiences in his lifetime, experiences that we couldn’t even imagine and which should not be taken out of the equation ....” So she’s removing her name from the petition but still insists his past life experience should not be removed from the equation? She’s still defending him, and what’s worse is she’s defending him on the basis of some very poor logic. This tells me that Thompson STILL doesn’t get it. Polanski’s tough life has nothing to do with his crime. Nothing. It’s difficult to see such an intelligent woman say something so ignorant. Polanski’s taste for minors is his sexual preference. It wasn’t created by WWII ghettos and his reputation with minors was well in place long before Tate was murdered. Years after his arrest and flight from justice Polanski boasted in interviews about his attraction to young girls and basically said all men want to have sex with female minors. If Emma is such a good friend of Polanski’s I assume she knows about this. How does Emma reconcile this kind of sick braggadocio with Polanski’s tough life? I’m glad Emma is taking her name off the petition but that she is doing so while still defending Polanski spoils it for me.
