um, you realize the guy who directed it was a convicted same-sex child molester? that when the camera lingers on "Powder's" wet body, the director had a stiffy, right? still think it's a cool movie? it's the director's own little kiddie porn.

And because Roman Polanski had sex with a 13 year old girl, Chinatown, The Pianist, Frantic and Rosemary's Baby are suddenly bad movies?

no, Frantic sucked on it's own.

If Polanski had lingering shots of a 13 year old girl taking her shirt off in a blatant sexual manner, yes, then it would be horrible. however, since you picked the most obvious straw man to try make your case, i'm not surprised at your mock indignation. apples and oranges, friend.

Apples and oranges how? Maybe you're just reading too much into the scene? I've seen the movie before and didn't know he was a sex offender until this thread, but I've never had the idea that the scene was sexual in any way.

My point, however, is that regardless of what the guy does in his personal life, it shouldn't affect the quality of a movie he's made.
