Yikes: Mulholland Falls director caught soliciting in Hollywood...

Intrepid Homoludens · 02-04-2006, 02:50 AM

...as a transvestite. Ouch. Wonder what that means for his career. Perhaps he should meet up with Paul Reubens and 'Bond' with him.

Drag Another Day?

Bond director 'tried to sell sex'

Quote:

James Bond director Lee Tamahori was arrested for allegedly approaching an undercover police officer and offering to perform a sex act for money.
Los Angeles city attorney's office said Mr Tamahori was dressed in a black wig and dress when arrested in Hollywood.

He was charged with soliciting an act of prostitution and loitering with the intent to commit prostitution.

City spokesman Frank Mateljan said police had been carrying out a prostitution sting in the area.

Freed on bail

"Mr Tamahori was arrested for soliciting. I can confirm he was dressed in women's clothing at the time of the arrest," said officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department.

New Zealand-born Mr Tamahori, 55, is free on bail and is due to appear in court on 24 February.

The misdemeanour charges carry a maximum sentence of six months jail and a $1,000 (£562) fine.

He directed the last James Bond film Die Another Day and other credits include the sequel XXX: State of the Union, Once Were Warriors and Mulholland Falls.

Serves him right for making Die Another Day and XXX.

Ouch indeed.

Didn't stop me from giggling a bit, though. What is wrong with people these days???!

A tad harsh. It's hardly like he wrote the script, is it? And don't the Bond producers have the strange habit of signing a director before the script is written?

Oh noes, someone got outed for harmless fun.

Consenting adults, and all that. Stupid laws to protect stupid people. Let them have ~~syphilis~~ cake.

Lacey, who gives a crap? You his brother? The guy didn't have to take the paycheck!

Starflux · 02-04-2006, 07:45 AM

I actually liked Die Another Day.

I suppose this puts Paul Rubens having a wank in an X-rated movie theater in proper perspective.

I love how you make a statement, then when somebody responds to said statement, you say "Who gives a crap?"

I think if he hadn't looked like such a pedophile when he got caught, it wouldn't have caused as much attention.

Perhaps he was just doing research for a future film.

RLacey · 02-04-2006, 01:05 PM

Isn't that the Winona Ryder comment?

Hugh Grant's hooker friend said he had a strange penis.

What? If pedophiles had a certain "look", they'd be a whole lot easier to round up. John Wayne Gacy, serial murderer and pedophile extraordinaire, looked utterly average and quite conservative. In fact, he was considered a pillar of the community until the crawlspace under his house was excavated.

I love it you're having digs at me because people point out the daft things or biased things you say on occasion, based on your previous statements that you're practising to become a journalist.

Seriously, piss off. I like you dude, but get off my back.

The best kind.

Maybe if Rob Marshall had become a geisha before making Memoirs...
