I listened to a review this morning on NPR by Mr. Kenneth Turan of the LA Times.
It was for Roman Polanskis’ new film “The Ghost Writer”.
It was a lovely, glowing review.

Kenneth Turan is clearly quite the fan of Mr. Polanski. Thinks this film is the director at “the height of his powers”… hopes this turns the mans career around… and, in the radio version, hoped that this film would allow Mr. Polanski to “catch fire, one more time.”
Hmmmm….
Funny….
Not one place in the film review did Kenneth Turan mention THAT ROMAN POLANSKI IS A FILTHY CHILD RAPIST WHO DESERVES TO BE SHUNNED BY EVERYONE IN DECENT CIVILIZATIONS!!!
I used to like listening to Kenneth Turan. He’s an excellent movie reviewer who, even though I really don’t like the artsy kinds of movies he does, always makes the movies he enjoys sound wonderful and intriguing and like something I might want to see.
Sadly, from this day forward… I will always think of Mr. Turan as someone who thinks it’s perfectly OK to be a child rapist as long as you are also a talented artist.
