Roman Polanski Arrested

32 years ago famous director Roman Polanski was accused of raping a 13 year old girl.  He admitted and plead guilty to raping and sodomizing her.  He was found guilty and the day he was supposed to be sentenced he fled the country and went to France.  He's been out of the US for 32 years.

He was invited to be honored at an awards show in Switzerland and there he was arrested.  Will he be extradited back to the US for his sentence?

Debra Winger is quoted as saying:

"We hope today this latest order will be dropped [as] it is based on a three-decade-old case that is all but dead but for minor technicalities," she said. "We stand by and wait for [Roman Polanski's] release and his next masterwork."

What minor technicalities is she talking about?  The fact that he fled the country before he was sentenced?  And she is also saying she stands by him.  Oh really Debra Winger?  You stand by a grown man who would rape and sodomize a 13 year old child?  That's lovely.  Thank you Debra Winger for letting the whole world know what a piece of work you are.  I'm sorry but anyone who stands by this pedophile is also a pedophile.

He had 32 years of freedom, it's now time for him to do his time.

Debra Winger also said (there was video of her on Nancy Grace) that the art world is going to suffer greatly if he is put in jail (not a direct quote).

Really Debra Winger?  Really?  The whole entire art world is going to suffer from the arrest of a pedophile?  Really?  Wow!  Piece of work.

Louise Fletcher on Heroes

Louise Fletcher - Source Heroes Wiki

Louise Fletcher has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid.  She was in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1975 as the infamous Nurse Ratched.  She was also in Star Trek Deep Space 9 as Kai Winn Adami which was AWESOME!  There are 175 movies/tv show titles so too many to list but I can single those 2 out.

In heroes she plays Emma's doctor (who is a new "hero" who is deaf) and this is the perfect role for her because both of her parents were deaf so she already knows sign language.

According to IMDB she is only in 1 episode but I'm hoping it will be a reoccurring role because she is such a great actress.  I would even love it if she had a power.  That would be so beyond awesome to see Louise Fletcher use some kind of power.  But what power would be appropriate for her?

Let's see, her character is a doctor so maybe she has the power to heal with her hands and that's why she became a doctor but she uses her MD as a cover.  Nah that would be too easy.

Well I can't think of anything else but your comments are welcome.  Tell me what power you think she should have.

It's GO Time

It’s GO Time: PSPgo Available October 1st - Source Playstation Blog

Playstation decided that the Sony PSP 1 wasn't good enough so they came out with the PSP 2 which I bought for myself in 2008. Then they came out with PSP 3 which the only differences was that it had a mic embedded so you don't have to buy a mic which I bought for 30 frickin dollars and they moved the speakers and made the screen less shiny and more visible while playing outside in the sun. Trust me if you have a video game system, even an old Game Boy, you can't see it when you are outside in the daylight so that was a welcome addition.

Now they have come out with the PSPGo which is smaller and the screen slides up and down to hide or show the game controllers. It makes it cool so you can use it as your Mp3 player and not be pushing buttons all the time because they are hidden.

One issue that people are going to have with this is that if they already have UMD's that they bought for their PSP 1, 2 or 3, they are screwed. UMD Conversion a no-go for PSP Go.

Another issue people are having is that they are charging $50 more for this and which if you pay $50 more you might as well buy a PS3.

It doesn't have a camera which is another issue. My issue is that it doesn't have a GPS either. They made the camera and GPS for Asia but they never sent it over to the U.S., not sure if Europe ever got it but we didn't. If I want the GPS I gotta buy it from the PSP Asia store and it's all in a different language and I'm sure all the maps are in Japanese too.

Another issue for me is the lack of a keyboard. It's next to impossible to use this to chat with people via the PSP Browser. You can use ebuddy for this thing but if you want to IM with people 1 sentence takes forever to type and by the time you have it all typed out the person you are talking to have already sent you 5 messages. It's not an ideal IMing device.

Well this is great for those people who don't have a PSP because they can just start their collection with the PSPGo. But for those of us who already own a PSP, too bad so sad.
