"Big Hollywood columnist Kurt Schlicter trashed me today for saying on one hand that I'd be impressed and delighted if authors Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens could somehow arrest Pope Benedict for crimes against humanity during a planned visit to England in September, and on the other hand calling for an end to the persecution of director Roman Polanski for a 32-year-old incident involving unlawful sex with a minor."
—Jeffrey Wells, once again proving his…inimitability, I guess, is one word for it…?
Wells has never heard of Abbas Kiarostami.

I read Wells daily. He’s banned me once for calling him out on his seeming approval of child molestation by RP. It’s all disgusting and criminal. Let’s face it: For true film writing, I come here and other places before EVER going to somebody like Wells.
Man, I love that LexG character. What a nutbar.
There’s a good, basic point to be made about both the Catholic Church scandal and Polanski’s situation, but Wells is the last person who would ever make it. That good and basic point is: throw ’em all in jail.
