I get that your problem was with him not the movie...
Well his movies vary in quality from very good to very poor. He was much better before the whole Sharon Tate thing you know...
I am aware he is running form a statutory rape charge (don't have that crime here, there is in fact a whole seperate law giving rise to the less elegant charge of Intercourse with a girl under the age of 16 or Intercourse with a girl under the age of 14). I forget how old the girl was in Mr Polabkski's case.
Directors and producers always take all the credit for a given movie, I just always thought that was the way it was. And yeah the academy are tastless (and according to my Mother should be renamed the "klu klux Academy" after there startling relucantance to give Black actors Oscars. Shes not forgiven them just because of last year you know).
