Film director Roman Polanski, arrested in Zurich over a U.S. charge of having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977, will fight extradition to the United States.

Poland also just approved a law making chemical castration mandatory for pedophiles in some cases, sparking criticism from human rights groups and pedophiles.

This international tug-of-war over Polanski escalated as France and Poland urged Switzerland to free the 76-year-old director on bail and pressed U.S. officials to give up.

It never goes away.

So what do we learn from this?

Adults, don't have sex with those underage. The Law will never forget even if the victim forgives and moves on.

How weird is it that I rented from Netflix and was watching, "POLANSKI Unauthorized" on DVD the day before all this latest news happened?

What am I, Psychic DVD Renter?

If you want the real story and a really great documantary made by an old coworker of mine, checkout "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" it tells it like it really is. Watch the intro and I believe most of it is now online. It was the very first film I purchased through iTunes, by the way when it was first released.

You've feel real unsafe with our legal system after watching it.

And you'll never let your 13 year old daughter stay alone with a Hollywood film director doing a photoshoot in a hot tub again!

Watched a lot of movies these last few days.

I turned my cable off because the service was so bad and it was always going out. Netflixing it baby!

I watched the film "Flashbacks of a Fool" because it was Bryan Ferry's birthday and I really loved it! Daniel Craig rocks! Watch this amazing scene and see if it doesn't take you right back, when you were young...

I've just watched and enjoyed, "Happy-Go-Lucky" and the documentary, "Trumbo."

I just watched, "I've Loved you so Long" and loved it, but I lost it at the end. Cried. Very emotional!

Just watched, "Burn After Reading" because a good friend recommended it and I loved it! I had no idea where that movie was headed. Some real surprises and I laughed out loud.

It's always a filmfest at my place!

It's so cool that people are digging my Podcast and helping promote it...

...by sharing it with friends on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and just mass emailing it all their buddies!

I've been shocked so many celebrities are into it! Movie Stars, bestselling authors, magazine writers, filmmakers and artists. I get the most wonderful email.

Many are burning all the shows onto discs and giving them as gifts! Wow!

I'm hoping something comes out of it, like more money, but I should just be happy so many people are getting it. It would be amazing to become successful financially from it, because I love doing it!

Maybe you have some ideas to help out. I'd love it if you did!

I know it's a downer anyway you look at it, and I was always a fan of hers, but What's your take on Mackenzie Phillips' story?

The whole thing makes me sad. Imagine if something like that happened to you. Imagine a trust broken. Imagine having made a career off of who you are and having that dry up and feel your only course was to write a tell all book that would sell. Imagine if it was all false. Imagine if it was all real. Imagine no one believed you. Imagine you wanted to help others and no one wanted your help.

The whole thing makes me sad.

Watched "Ghost Hunters" while Skyping with friends and I needed some snacks; What's a good ghost hunting snack?

I had chocolate chip cookies. I would rather had popcorn or nachos or... anything else, I think.

If you were called upon to adopt a lonely ghost, one who is friendly, loving and could offer you guidance in your life and career, Who would this ghost have been when they were alive?

I wonder if Stanley Kubrick could be my ghost? He'd be able to offer all kinds of info, he was so smart, knows so much and could leave me long memos on how to do things.

Money flowed in so easily...

...when I was younger, I just believed it would always be that way.

I used to make so much money! None of my friends were getting as much, well the friends selling drugs were, but none of my hard working friends. Didn't feel like I was really working all that hard to get it either. Maybe there was a little bit of guilt there? It was so unexplained how I seemed to have some magical power, but it was like as soon as I tried to investigate how I was a target for such good fortune... It began to slip away.

OMG! WHY?

Panic set it!

Anger!

So called friends left me in droves!

Then offers for more money started drying up. My network of connections faded away. I was in a fog.

This has to change! I know I'm better off now in many ways. I know more. I've experienced loss. I've grown.

Granted, the money I was making wasn't fantastic, but I will say without hesitation, I wish I was making the money I was making when I was in my early 20s, right now!

I've never owned a house. I've never owned property. I live very cheap. I'm frugal. My car is 13 years old. I have no kids. I'm not married. I'm not dating anyone. I have no health insurance.

What a prize!

Who would want me?

I know I have talent. I know I'm fairly smart. I know I'm loyal. I wish I could find a way to do all the things I know I can do. I was successful a few times, I know I can be again.

I wish I knew someone that could help me. Guide me. Recapture some of that magic I once had. Be my Cheerleader. I know people that have money, successful lives, happy families, beautiful homes, smart kids, everything, and I know I could get that too, but there seems to be a window between me and that.

I have this reoccurring dream where I see someone who looks like me and I follow him and it turns out to be me and he's living the life I should be living. A parallel universe. Somewhere in some dimension I've got it made. I've hit the jackpot. I have the beautiful and loving wife. I won the lotto. I got the brains. I have it all. I am happiness personified. My ship came in. I'm King of the World. But in this life...

If you love Theatre of the Mind, here's your chance to hear the Greatest Podcast Radio Show episode ever recorded...

...today by me!
 
I know I haven't written much lately, but I've been busy thinking.
 
I was reading how hundreds of Samoan Roman Catholics have held overnight vigils at a building where a mysterious image has appeared of the Virgin Mary. There was a period in my life about ten years ago where I saw Mary EVERYWHERE! It was like pattern recognition with me, I saw her in everything. It was Crazy!
 
I just saw that one in seven Germans want the Berlin Wall back because they were better off when the country was divided. No screaming town-hall meetings over healthcare for them.
 
Here's something I found on the Internet:
 
...this morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US department of agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the food and drug administration.
 
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, I get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issued by the federal reserve bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service and drop the kids off at the public school.
 
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the department of labor and the occupational safety and health administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the local police department.
 
I then log on to the internet which was developed by the defense advanced research projects administration and post on freerepublic.com and fox news forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right. Thought you might like it!
 
On the News, a 107 year old Malaysian woman said she is ready to marry for the 23rd time because she fears her current drug addict husband might leave her for a younger woman. Someone younger, like say the 102 year old hottie he's been eying. He may be on drugs, because of just how scary the thought of banging a 107 year old broad can be!
 
My friend Henry was telling me about his coffee table book of photos of women's vaginas, all from women of different ages. Giant Glossy Close Up Pictures, too! He said the point of the book was that the old myth of the "lady business" getting all saggy, loose and gaping with age was just that, a myth and that even to the trained eye, such as mine, you wouldn't be able to tell how old a woman was by her vajayjay. The book says they never age like the rest of the body does!
 
So he says, I could be blindfolded and you could wheel out various aged women, let's say from 18 to 100 years old... Okay, let's not be creepy here... Let's say 18 to 30 years old... And, I wouldn't be able to tell how old she was by her velvet sausage wallet. I wish I could get a government grant to do this study personally.
 
If you want more details on this and other really, truly, fantastic stories, don't forget to listen to the Podcast Radio Show and the New Episode is up right now! You can listen to it NOW! On Blubrry http://www.blubrry.com/jerrylentz/

Burning light, burning white heat
Like wildfire
I sweat a fever
My body screams
Disintegrates in the heat

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away

Your name and mine inside
a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me,
though they're so small

I'm hiding in the corner
Of an overgrown garden
Covering my body in leaves
And trying not to breath
All my childhood dreams
Are bursting at the seams
And dangling around my knees
I've been deformed by emotional scars
And the cancer of love has eaten out my heart
I've been stripped bare and nobody cares
And all the people I looked up to are no longer there

All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind
Another year older and what have I done
My aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt
Blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life

"....working, keep talking."

All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind
Another year older and what have I done
My aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt
Blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life

I've been filled with useless information
Spewed out by papers and radio stations
I've been hounded by fairweather friends
Sowing the seeds for my discontent
Life is like a sewer
And I'm trying to wade thru her
I threw in my money and made my wish
But sleeping boys catch no fish

All desires have been denied to put me in this state of mind
Another year older and what have I done
My aspirations have shriveled in the sun
I'm crippled by guilt
Blinded by science
I've been waiting for tomorrow all of my life

"....working, keep talking."

All my childhood dreams
Are sinking round my knees
My mind has been polluted
And my energy diluted

Of all your favorite films, from which one would you love to steal the wardrobe?

There's quite a few films I will watch over and over. "Blade Runner" "Eraserhead" "Meshes of the Afternoon" and of course many others, but one film I watch over and over and feel like it's a perfect film to me is, "Velvet Goldmine" and this is one I would love to steal certain clothes from. It would be fun to find and fit into some of these awesome clothes!

 Directed by one of my favorite filmmakers, Todd Haynes and starring Ewan McGregor, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Christian Bale and Eddie Izzard.

 If you've never seen this film, you need to get your hip music friends together, light some candles, pour some wine, peel off some clothes and play this masterpiece at full volume.

 Here's 3 parts of a nice documentary on the film and the era of Glam.

She said my behaviour was puzzling, then she said, "I love puzzles!"

Have you ever posed nude in a photo for your lover, then they became your ex and you wondered what happened to those pics? Please share with me the story!
 
...and the pics if you can : )
 
There are so many things I want to say to you, to write for you and to you, then I think, "I'll do it tomorrow," or "when I get there," but there is no there there and tomorrow never comes.
 
If I do all the work it will take for me to get ripped abs, will my life improve, what will I get for having them?
 
I guess, I was thinking about these ads I see for ab building, but I wasn't so much thinking about health. I know people who have sixpack abs who are not healthy at all.
 
Have you ever called someone the wrong name in the worst situation, like calling your teacher "Mom," or used a past lovers name for your current lover? How did you get over that mistake?
 
A "friend" told me a funny one. He was having sex with his new lover and at the moment of climax he sighed, "Oh Laura!" but this girl wasn't Laura, but she knew Laura and she SHOUTED, "What did you call me?" and with quick thinking he said, "I said, 'Oh Lord!' because you are so amazing!"
 
I shut my cable off, canceled it, just waiting for them to actually disconnect it. Thought I'd just watch until it's static. I'm still being productive. I think I am anyway...
 
It's funny, I'll ask people if they've seen any good movies lately and they will say, "Oh no, no time!" then they'll tell me about some DVD they rented and I'll say, "Isn't that a movie?" but they don't think of DVDs as movies. They think a movie is in a theater! Then some don't watch TV, or even have a TV and they brag about it, but they watch their shows online... UGH!
 
There was a time when I went a few years without TV and it seemed I was very productive then. But I know people that watch TV all the time and are amazingly prolific!
 
My house smells like Summer now, because I hung up a new shower curtain and that smell reminds me of brand new pool toys, slip n' slides and vinyl dominatrix outfits.
 
Imagine I was making a feature film and looking for micro funding from numerous wonderful people like you and you had $20 to spare. Let's say you donated it. Bought one of my Tshirts. Left me a nice Tip in the TipJar. What kind of film from me would you really be willing to part with that small amount of... cash? I think, for everyday of the shoot, I will wear Marc Jacobs! Must put that in the budget!
 
Okay, I'm seriously considering using all the talents of my good and smart "Friends" here to help in an experiment to make a feature film using ideas we generate in a lil' game of Mad Libs! Everyone will get credit. To start, let's just fill in some blanks, shall we?
 
The name of this cool film from Jerry Lentz is, "The _____" it's a cross between "_____" and "_____" and is about a _____ that meets a _____ and they discover a ____!

I used to believe America was Number 1, but I guess we'll just have to settle for Number 37. Let's make the best of it!

I thought all those White gloves falling out of the sky was a commercial for Hamburger Helper.

I'm wondering why was I watching the VMAs? Do I care anymore? Who are these people? When did Michael Jackson die?
 
Guess I forgot.
 
I guess Kayne West isn't gonna be dating Taylor Swift. Nigga Puhleez! He did something I never thought anyone could do and that's make me feel sorry for her. Then I started wondering; Biggie, Tupac, Freaky Tah, Jam Master Jay, there sure has been a lull in rapper shootings lately.
 
It's not that I'm too old and don't get the new music, I do like a lot of new music, just none of the acts I saw on the VMAs. And really, I only watch music videos online and only use MTV to watch the greatest TV series since "Star Trek" and that boys and girls is "The Hills!"
 
Listen to this and forget who it is for a moment, just listen and try and tell me this isn't awesome!
 

 
I've decided I'm buying her CD, or at least downloading off iTunes, just for this. It really moved me and I thought of you when she sang it.

I don't think I've ever been as scared by a film as I was when I first saw this...

...cinematic nightmare, when I was younger.
 
I got my brother to watch this last night and he totally dug it. He never really knew anything about Mario Bava and when he saw my giant and heavy Tim Lucas book, "Mario Bava: All the Colors of the Dark" he wondered what all the fuss was about, why would someone like Lucas spend all those years writing about Mario Bava?
 
So I found my favorite short piece of Bava's work online to show my brother and my other friends why his work is so important to me. I tell everyone to wait until after sundown to watch this short film. It's even better at about 2AM when you've had a few hits of NyQuil.
 
It's short. It's in two parts. It say's part two, but it really is the start without the titles, credits and intro, so watch this:
 

 
Then watch this part 3 and end of the short film:
 

 
...and tell me if this isn't the single scariest film you've ever seen. It's dubbed in English, because it was Italian, but there's no gore or anything, just story, mood, sound effects, and lighting. Very theatrical, but I know you'll dig it and may even pull the blanket up close to your face, if not over your head. I think you'll like it!
 
When my brother emailed me today, he was so compelled by Mario Bava's work to write a poem and when you see, "The Drop of Water," just a small part of his film, "Black Sabbath," you'll understand:
 
Mirrors, candles
shadows, flies,
purple drapes
the deadened eyes
theft of jewelry
thus ensued
and the culprit
sure got screwed

The Underpants Disco Dance Party is over here at my house! Don't worry, I've filled the Fog Machine and Bubble Machine with Lysol and Antibacterial Soap!

My throat is raw, I have a horrible taste in my mouth, but I'm craving milk and Chips Ahoy Cookies®... I feel it will be for me like canned cat food is for the Prawn.

I don't understand, How can more come out than I put in?

I wish I could think of something cool to say here, but this flu is holding me back and my thoughts are murmured by fever and synapses numbing medication.

There are so many things I wish I could crop out of my life, not just the...

...parts about my looks I don't like, but memories, people that did me wrong, people I did wrong, embarrassing things, the time I sneaked into a movie theatre and got caught, the time I was making out with a girl, we were in the nude and suddenly her dad was standing over us, the times I've vomited in public, the times my pants have ripped in public, speaking in public, being in public, the public...

She said, "You're really Hot!" I thanked her and she said...

..."No! I mean you have a Fever!"

 Burning up! Sweaty. Shakey. Dizzy.

 I feel like there are wildfires in my head. I look into the mirror and I don't see myself. I smell burning rubber. My new cool glasses are melting on my face. I feel I'm becoming a zombie. Images Swirl and Pulsate in Mind. I'm Woozy and Delirious. I need You to be kind. I'm Feverish and Hallucinating, Sad and in Bed, Smart Water by my side, Electrical Storms in my Head, Everything is Spinning, I am reaching out to You... Cheer Me up soon, before I am dead...

I fear...

...that I'm ordinary, just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but I'm forever broken
By and by the way...
Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs?
It's for the girl I've loved all along
Can a taste of love be so wrong
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd be forever
But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
And the world you can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world

I know this isn't the greatest photo, it's from my iSight and I still wasn't feeling well, but I wanted you to see my New...

...Glasses, I bought them online for about $15. I can't believe how great they are!
 
I looked everywhere for these frames and no doctor or eyewear place could get them for me. These are made with my prescription and for so cheap and they are AWESOME!!! I'm ordering more tonight just to have extras! I got them in a week and a half!
 
Just don't get my style, get your own style! Don't be a copycat!
 
http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php
 
I know it's just glasses, but I'm so excited, because I used to have these kind of frames way back in Texas, I loved them, I loved the look, and never could find that style again even in LA.
 
It was like Xmas today when they came in the mail!
 
Also, in the mail was a Government check, I opened it up and it was for $450 and I didn't know what it was for... Did I get some sort of refund, some tax thing finally come through? No. I looked and it turned out it was a disability check for my crazy neighbor and the Postman put it in the wrong mailbox.
 
I thought, "I bet this is how he pays the rent. What if I just write 'Not at this Address!' and put it back in the mail?" Then he'd be way late on the rent and maybe he'd get evicted and I'd be free of all the trouble!
 
I was all ready to do it, but his crazy girlfriend came knocking at my door asking if the mail had arrived and she looked like she was desperate for a fix, so I gave the check to her.
 
Damn. Brilliant plan foiled!
 
Oh well, at least I look awesome in my new glasses!

Slowly, I'm starting to be able to hold food down, but I like my frail skinny look and...

...now that I see McDonald's are running a new ad campaign featuring healthy looking customers... Nah, still won't eat there.
 
Just did my 1st of the Month Swine Flu Special Podcast!
 http://www.jerrylentz.com/podcast/podcast.xml
 
Hope you enjoy, it's spreading like a virus!
 
Haven't mentioned it, but I have a few friends in the danger zone with the California Wildfires and I have been concerned, however as I have been weakened by the Flu, I find worrying drains me. Either I'm getting better, or I am getting used to this illness, so I find it a little easier to think of others now. As you all may know for a time I was a volunteer helping people relocate and evacuate a few years back during the wildfires and it's horrible what some of those people went through. Some losing everything. We need to seriously come up with an Army that can help better in times of disasters! Katrina gets me so angry when I think about it! I also know some things can't be helped. But we need some kind of Thunderbirds Rescue Team! And really, with The Empire patrolling the West Coast you'd think they'd help, but I guess the Sith want suffering.

I said it in the podcast, but I'll say it again... Thank you all so much for the wonderful email, cards, messages, comments, tshirt purchases, tips and donations while I've been ill. You are so fantastic! I really didn't leave the house at all, I was afraid to, and fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering, and I was bored and boredom leads to depression and depression leads to suffering and suffering leads to... more suffering?
 
Anyway, your thoughts, gifts and messages to me lifted my spirits like you can't imagine! I am so blessed to know you!

Spent several hours waiting to see a Doctor and didn't...

 

 ...I saw a Nurse Practitioner and now I'm in debt! Boy, I'm glad this is America instead of some savage Socialist Country! The Hospital lobby had a TV that was playing Fox News and several of the patients I waited with as our germs and viruses commingled and procreated were headed over to protest at a local Town Hall Meeting. I doubt the silly, Republican blowhards and ditto-head mouth-breathers were wearing surgical masks to protect themselves from the H1N1 (Swine Flu) that these protesters were going to be spreading.

 Now I'm eating Oseltamivir like they were Jellybeans!
