    Roman Polanski... Oh dear!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Why is it that everyone who was cool in the 1970s turned out to be a paedophile?

    I wonder if Shia LeBouf, Justin Timberlake and the Paul Thomas Anderson will all be known sex offenders in the thirty years time.

    Well... granted, they're not cool, but they are (or were) trendy. Gary Glitter was never truly "cool" in the strict sense either, but I'd include him in the above statement.

    to be totally honest, i have very little idea about who shia lebeouf is. i know he was in the last indy movie but beyond that...


    gary glitter was always a strange little man. i wasn't too terribly shocked by the news. i've always wondered about folks who go by gimmicky stage names, in fact the whole stage name thing is kinda pretentious, unless you have a name like maurice mickelwhite (michael caine's real name) or marion morrison (john wayne's real name). i don't think you'll find many tough guy, action stars named marion.

    Yeah, I just plucked LeBouf out of my head at random as a trendy "down with the kids" actor. He was in Transformers too, I think.

    Me neither. I find the idea of a serious young-adult scifi-thriller based on a campy series of cartoon kiddies toy commercials from the 80s to be patently ridiculous. At the end of the day, it's still basically just a truck turning into a fucking stupid robot!
