Indeed. It's a good one. I come down firmly on the side that Woody Allen abused his daughter and Roman Polanski should be in prison, but that doesn't stop me from considering Hannah and Her Sisters, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Crimes and Misdemeanors, and Chinatown great movies. To be honest, seeing OJ Simpson in the Naked Gun movies doesn't even bother me. Tom Cruise is a horrible person and one of my favorite actors. Unfortunately, a lot of artists are terrible people, and you can choose to let that dictate what you enjoy, or practice a little cognitive dissonance.

Its kind of hard when you get really horrible people, like I like watching Chris Benoit matches, but it can be really difficult considering what he did.

Everyone has their own limit for what they will and won't tolerate when consuming media. I mean, a little consistency is important, but I won't fault someone for not watching X or Y while watching Z.

I think between his brazenness about the situation and the lengths people in Hollywood go to to defend him are what really keep me from ever enjoying the work of Roman Polanski.

quote:

She was born into a world where they called it seduction, not rape.

was the tagline for the movie he made immediately after fleeing the country. He dedicated the movie to his late wife while at the same time banging the underage model he cast to star in the movie as the rape victim. He also claimed the continuing media coverage of the rape was more damaging to his victim than the rape itself. Even assuming that to be true I'm sure the coverage would have mostly died out a long time ago were it not for the fact that he has had 3 decades of success while escaping justice. You hardly ever hear anything about that little boy Victor Salva molested.

Beyond that I wouldn't begrudge anyone for enjoying the work of someone I think is terrible, I just make sure they aren't getting any money from me.

Considering that most of the time his cartoons suck because they are simply too wordy, he really sucks as accomplishing his goal then. Even with all of the walls of text he uses, his stuff is still far more aesthetically pleasing and coherent than most of the stuff posted here.

Muir is a moron, so he regularly draws waifu with pale tits despite having her frequently outside while nude.

Okay, he isn't a moron: he's just lazy and doesn't want to create new "artwork".

I don't want to get all "A Good Cartoon"-y, but with all the defenders behind Obama he could probably get a short lob off to someone right in front of him and they'd have a clear field. I guess in this metaphor Hillary Clinton is receiving the 2016 elections pass or something.

It's just weird to see the defensive line behind a quarter back.

He's being tackled by his own team/policies.

I always love when Ramirez does cartoons like that because you see the MASSIVE amount of white space because Ramirez is a professional cartoonist that cannot figure out how to differentiate his characters from his backgrounds.

No, I think Obama is throwing a lateral back to Hillary, who is going to run in 2016. Even Ramirez can't be dumb enough to think that your defenders stand behind you in football.

I've never understood this, because I've seen plenty of cartoons from him where this isn't the case. He only has the stupid white halos sometimes. Other times characters stand out just fine from whatever stupidly detailed background he put them up against.

Are we certain Rorus Raz didn't actually create Day by Day as an elaborate trolling measure designed to sustain the politoon threads by continuously delving to levels of self-parody we can't follow? I'm just saying, have you ever seen Muir and Rorus Raz in the same room together?
