This Roman Polanski thing is tricky, isn’t it? On one hand he’s been convicted for having unlawful sex with a child.
Then again, Rosemary’s Baby was quite good. Oh, it’s such a dilemma!

Have we mentioned that we’re liveblogging the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday? We are. Please come back then and validate us.
Only on Saturday, mind you. We’re not liveblogging any of those poncey Eurovision semi-finals. Especially not the one tonight, even though it could well be the last we’ll see of either of today’s participants. We refuse to liveblog that. You can watch it on TV if you like, just be aware that doing so makes you a gigantic nimrod if you do.
