So, the blogosphere is aflame with rage about

Thanks for linking... I'd seen Kevin Smith & Greg Grunberg, but my TV boyfriend Michael Cudlitz just about made my day. I don't get this whole "oh noez, if confessed fugitive criminals don't get a free pass because they're at a film festival, it's a slippery slope and we're all doomed" bullshit. No wonder "Hollywood" has such a crappy reputation.

Whoo! The number has doubled. Um. From four to eight, but I'll take it.

SERIOUSLY!!! My Mom wouldn't let me watch his movies when I was a kid because she said he was a total pig. Later I understood what she meant.

Following you back over here from fayemeadows' comments, to say the Luc Besson quote is here: "This is a man who I love a lot and know a little bit,” Mr. Besson said in a radio interview with RTL Soir. "Our daughters are good friends. But there is one justice, and that should be the same for everyone. I will let justice happen." He added, , "I don’t have any opinion on this, but I have a daughter, 13 years old. And if she was violated, nothing would be the same, even 30 years later."

Ugh. How sad is it that the list is this short?

Thanks for the quote! And yeah--it's very sad that it's short. But: It was starting to seem like it might not be there at all, so I'm glad that some people have spoken up.

kirstie alley made me cry a little bit, too. thanks for putting this list together. i wish it was longer!

[chrismm]

I'm hoping it will grow--maybe not as fast as the other, but I'll take whatever. I was especially happy to see Michael Cudlitz and Jay Smooth's posts because I adore them both for different reasons, and just. Yes. You know?
