Woody Allen, David Lynch and Martin Scorsese today added their names to a petition demanding the immediate release of Roman Polanski from detention in Zurich. The director was arrested on Saturday over a three-decade-old underage sex case when he arrived to receive a lifetime achievement award at the city's film festival.

"Film-makers in France, in Europe, in the United States and around the world are dismayed by this decision," says the petition, which is co-ordinated by the Société des Auteurs et Compositeurs Dramatiques (SACD), a film industry organisation which also represents performance and visual artists.

Swinestein and other Hollyweird luminaries were up in arms when Polanski was detained by Swiss police over longstanding child rape charges which he had been evading for decades.

Harvey Weinstein and Woody Allen were among the dubious characters demanding release of Roman Polanski.

Then a few years later Meryl Streep was wildly applauding Polanski when he won a big Hollywood award.

ooh it was 2003 when Meryl was giving Polanski the standing ovation at the Oscars, so before 2009.... but the point remains the same.

Go jump in a lake film makers.

A number of woody allen jokes that I laughed at in some of his movies, I can’t laugh at anymore.

Cause in retrospect, they were all geared towards his penchant for girls 16 and under.

I could NEVER get through that one movie, I think “Manhattan”, where he dates a much, much younger woman, maybe in her teens.

In real life, woody asked her to go away with him.

And Meryl Streep was in Woody Allen’s Manhattan.

Was she?

That is the one with the young girl, right?

I could never watch it long enough to see Meryl in it.

And not just because he was dating the younger girl. Because it didn’t seem funny.

But it got good reviews.

Hannah and Her Sisters was good.
Sleeper
Love and Death
Play it Again Sam
Manhattan Murder Mystery
Annie Hall

Then he started putting out weird garbage.

Of course they can over look his pedophilia because he was forcing her to something they mostly applaud - butt-sex - Hollywood’s favorite.
