Let's see Roman Polanski's prison movie
Having avoiding jail for over 30 years for having non-consensual sex with a drunk, stoned, 13-year-old girl, director Roman Polanski was finally arrested in Switzerland over the weekend.
Polanski has been sticking to countries that wouldn't extradite him for decades, even declining to come to the Oscars when he won best director for The Pianist in 2002.
I love Roman Polanski's movies - Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, Death and the Maiden, The Ninth Gate.
I also think it's a terrible tragedy that his wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson Family.
But you can't be brilliant enough, tragic enough or create enough great art to be allowed to rape teenage girls.
They should put him in a very small cell somewhere. Maybe we could even rig up a constant loop of Corky Romano and Ewe Boll movies for him.
