I suggest a little tarring and feathering before sending him to jail. :/

People don't get tarred and feathered anymore, we need to bring that back... It's probably even more unpleasant than it sounds, because this is the first time I realized the tar probably has to be hot.

All I know about them is that they are Ilan Rubin's former band; he left them to join NIN's last tour.

And as well as that, one of the women charged with watkins has a nine inch nails tattoo. Poor trent. He already hates his fanbase.

e: also, she lives close enough to me that i've probably walked past her at some point and thought 'hey she's hot'. ugh.

e2: vv you're right, corrected myself

He hasn't been convicted, he's been charged. There's still the possibility that this is all some mistake. Ian Watkins is an intelligent guy: it's shocking to think he'd get mixed up with anything like this.
He (and the two women) probably weren't granted bail due to his celebrity status, and the possibility of a witchhunt from press and/or dutiful vigilantes.

You don't deny someone due process simply because of who they are. That's a double-fast-track to a lawsuit.

Every time I read any of the news reports about these things lately my nerves stops me from thinking about the direct issues cognitively, but by effect I wonder if at any point the media/advertising/business at large will wake up to what they've contributed to the sexualisation of children. Between Britney Spears licking her lips in a school uniform, the countdown to Charlotte Church and Emma Watson turning 16, and thongs for kids in single figures.

All the incidents alledgedly took place recently. If it is true sounds like he completely lost his mind.

They might when the ratings/ad revenue/business goes down.

Like with all sensationalist bullshit we're drowning in, I think this is more about us still having creepy primitive urges that even we're starting to forget about, rather than media selling us something we don't want.

Huell Howser died He was a PBS staple for the past 2 decades. He made me laugh. Not sure he meant to...but none the less. I will miss him. He was a good guy.
California Gold was my favorite "nothing on TV" show to watch. Learned a lot about California. RIP

[PQHooligan]

I'm pretty bummed out about it too - he was always fun to watch randomly at 3am when I didn't know if he was trying to be funny, or if my lack of sleep helped entertain me more - RIP

Fucked up. Shame he never got to face the fallout of this whilst alive, but died scott-free.

Here is what happens when you hire Lindsay Lohan to be in your movie.

Sweet christ...

“I can’t cry. I’ve got makeup on.” Profound stuff - the article almost humanizes Lohan's prima donna antics (almost being the key word.)

I'm a fan of Bret Easton Ellis and enjoyed some of Paul Schrader's early stuff, but there's no way anyone could be excited for that film after reading the article.

I've read this a few times already. Wow... talk about a disaster in the making. Poor Paul Schraeder though. The man who Taxi Driver and directed such films like American Gigolo, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, Affliction, Auto Focus, and Light of Day (that featured a young TR) loses his mind when he works with a completely delusional and out-of-control has-been.

It sucks that we lost him. He was one of the few working toward decentralizing power and preventing further centralization. He did a lot of good in his short time.

That was during the Ferrell bit, which was hilarious. For some reason Tommy was having none of it.

[october_midnight]

Yeah I caught that....eeeveryone was digging it except him haha. Best part of the whole thing was how they didn't take the camera off of him for like 9 whole seconds...just slowly zooming in lol.

[Conan The Barbarian]

I didn't catch the globes, what got him pissed?

[october_midnight]

Toward the end (but worth watching it all):



Spoiler: Nothing really...he apparently just thought it wasn't funny at all.

[thevoid99]

I agree. I didn't think it was funny either. Just badly written.

[Deepvoid]

Meryal Streep.. didn't get a laugh out of you? Badly written?. Maybe the idea was penned down but the whole thing looked improvise to me.

If you haven't seen his films, see them. Seriously.

The only films of his I've seen are Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence and Empire of Passion. Two incredible films. I really hope to see In the Realm of the Senses.

About a month, but I just found out about it and didn't feel like sifting through pages on posts at the moment. Sorry if it was posted already but my jaw dropped to the floor with this one... really hope it is not true.
