What In The Hell, Kim Novak?
Kim Novak took out a full page ad in Variety a couple of months ago, because she wanted to shine a light on the INJUSTICE the makers of The Artist brought down on Vertigo. Kim basically citizen's arrested The Artist for using a piece of Vertigo's score even though the producers of The Artist gave credit and paid for it. Kim said that hearing Vertigo's score while watching The Artist felt like rape. At the time, I didn't make anything out of it, because a miniature Whoopi Goldberg was living in my head and told me that Kim didn't mean rape rape, but oh she did. Kim clarified her comments to the Associated Press and said that she was raped as a child so she knows what it feels like. And hearing Vertigo's score in The Artist felt just like rape. Err... ummmm... errr... lawd... yeah:
"It was very painful. When I said it was like a rape, that was how it felt to me. I had experienced in my youth being raped, and so I identified with a real act that had been done to me. I didn't use that word lightly. I had been raped as a child. It was a rape I never told about, so when I experienced this one, I felt the need to express it. I never reported my real rape, so I felt the need to report this one. I felt that someone needed to speak up because the music has been taken advantage of too much. I hope that in the future, maybe somehow it will do some good."
Why do I feel like my emotions just fell out of a church tower after a nun spooked my ass? Now every time I watch The Artist (because I watch it all the time, obviously), I'm going to think about how it raped Vertigo.
And I give this entire story 5 out of 5 face palming Uggies.

I was raped in my youth as well. I have active PTSD and often experience feelings of violation or being taken advantage of, as a result of one or another thing happening near me. It can be music, something someone says, a particular sound or action, many things. But I Know The Difference. I don't say it is like rape, because it is not -- even if it feels violatory to me.
If I still have flashbacks every day after 22 years and I can handle not abusing the English language, then screw this harridan. She does all survivors, and also everyone trying to understand rape, a disservice with this behavior. I hope she get Crohn's disease or something horrible like that.
Old age does horrible things to your memory and sense of reality.
You've been warned.
It has been rumored for years that Kim Novak is actually a trans-testicle.
Discuss!
So, totally off topic but....
Sir Uggie now has a new gig! Since he has retired from acting d/t a mysterious neurological disease, he has now been chosen to be the new "doggy face" for Nintendo! He's the new spokesdog!
(and if I learned this information HERE on the D, just smack me. Yell at me, and tell me to STFU and STFD! Lol. A mind is a terrible thing to lose). =p
OT: I'm with the others who said they feel she probably just chose the wrong word. Meant something such as "violated" and came out with "rape" instead.
Same thing happened with Kirsten Stewart a year or so ago. Just a slow down of the mind, that word comes out first, and you know (most of the time/most people) as soon as you hear yourself say it, that it's totally f'n wrong. Lol
Edit: didn't read about her repeating the comment and saying the same thing again. So, yeah. That's rather f'd up.

She looks like she "copied" Mary Tyler Moore's face. I guess Mary feels 'face raped' now.
I also thought Lady GaGa's song "Born this way" sounded like Madonna's "Respect Yourself."- But it's hard to imagine Madonna claiming she was raped. I guess she is headed down the path of Sean Young nuttiness, I guess it's better than being ignored.
Come again? OK, she's upset but lady has dropped her marbles and evidently cannot find them again. Next she'll be onto DEATH, DESTRUCTION, ANARCHY, WAR...
Lawd, shaking my head and letting it be! ;]

Poor Kim Novak! I kinda didn't know she was still alive!
Well she might look good, but she doesn't look remotely like Kim Novak.
God she was gorgeous. Clearly nuts now though.
Kim, take some of your earnings and get therapy. The makers of The Artist paying to use the music from the Vertigo soundtrack is not equivalent to the unforgivable attack you suffered, and I'm certain no malice was intended toward you. I wish you healing & blessings, great lady.
I think some one-on-one cuddling with Uggie would be a good start.

I keel my husbind. Keel him deead.
I heard music from Vertigo in Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story, was prompted to search to see if it would be on anytime soon and was excited to see it on ThrillerMax's schedule for the following day. I DVRed it.
Part of Psycho's music is sampled in Busta Rhymes' Gimme Some More. It took me a while to make that connection, lol.
On topic:
I love Vertigo, I love her in it. She's entitled to her opinion about these things that have conflated meanings for her.
It feels like rape when I hear Paula Abdul singing ... or Phil Collins or Yoko Ono
Fuck this bitch (but not in a rapey way).
She's raping Vertigo by keeping on fucking speaking.
The Devil's Advocate says:
She is elderly and possibly befuddled by a combination of heart and other meds. and is prone to confusing past events with the present. Perhaps she meant "violated" but it came out "rape" and now she can't retract because that generation has difficulty with being seen as wrong in any way and especially psychologically or intellectually. Even the subject of "depression" can be a tricky topic of discussion.
She seems confused and depressed.
At first I thought it was something that happened on the Vertigo set which triggered her memory flip flap.
On a positive note, she does look good for a 79 year old Hollywood actress - almost natural!
Now I remember, it's Joan Van Ark!
Warning - scary!

Ponder this I will.....
If that's "rape" to her, just think of how Madonna feels every time Lady Gaga releases another single. My god, I can't even imagine.

Oh, Kim. Wooden acting and a brain to match. Being raped as a child is horrible, but 70-whatever years later to say that a piece of music used in a film, legally, felt like the same thing to her is repulsive. The two things are not remotely connected, and if they are to her, she's nutty.

She does look scary below the nose. What is the name of the actress who Kim is reminding me of? Joan or JoAnn somebody. The lower part of both of their faces looks burned.
And people need to stop throwing words like "rape" and "nazi" around so easily.

So music from on ol' movie, playing over the silence of one new movie... ripped apart her vagina, knocked the breath out of her, and damaged her soul for decades to come.
Dumbass-exaggerating twat.
Uggie knows an attention whoring trick when he hears one. I'm facepalming along with the little guy.
Wow, all that juvederm done got in her brainz. To say it once, fine. To not apologize for it, okay. But to clarify by saying YES YOU MEANT ACTUAL RAPE AND YOU KNOW, uh wow. From those of us that do know, seriously, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
Did Hohan slip MK a roofie today or something? Because she sure is getting alot of exposure on the site today.
She looks MUCH better in this above photo.

The Artist was derivative in every other way (as the Academy prefers), why would they bother developing an original score?
As for how she felt, I think Kim knows her own feelings better than anyone else.

Aniston is artistically, intellectually and reproductively barren.
Paltrow is every argument against nepotism rolled into one.
Bitter old girl. If the real rape happened or not we'll never know (couldn't care less to be honest) but the comparison beggars belief.
But this is old news. She's been duly mocked for it and immediately and deservedly faded into oblivion two months ago.

Unfortunately, that's what happens when you try to hide trauma. It doesn't go away, it comes back magnified and more distorted than before. Time for therapy and a good dose of shaddap.
What she's saying is that the Producers of The Artist raped the Music of Vertigo. "the music was taken advantage of" (will Oprah or Dr. Phil be getting the exclusive interview of Music?)
I think Kim Zolciak is a better example of this kind of a deviancy charge, as in, her music molested the eardrums of all within hearing distance.
you know what? I think my comment was mean-spirited, I'm not proud of it and I'm replacing it with this one.
So bite me!

Kim, in the name of all that's memberable and good, shut your mouth. "The Artist" was a valentine to all the old Gower Street pictures, not just one of yours. Frankly, I don't remember "Vertigo" being mentioned in "Art".
What the hell? I don't care if she was raped by a silent Frenchman with a dog; there's no fucking comparison here.

Submitted by MissJaneTexas : Yeah, because if you have actually experienced rape you don't make a dumb ass comparision like that. STFU.
***********************************************
Guurrrl you read my mind! I was over here sputtering about how to phrase the idoicy of that comparison which minimizes actual rape. Perhaps someone surprised her with some loud music in her ear once and she's old timey and got her words confused. It happens.

I think Kim needs to up her meds.
On another note, Kim Novak is 79. She looks pretty good for that age. She's had just the right amount of work done so she doesn't look scary. Some actresses ought to take notes.
Two words.. whack job.
Yeah, because if you have actually experienced rape you don't make a dumb ass comparision like that. STFU.
It's time to up your meds, honey.

Bernard Hermann scored Vertigo and they used a piece of his Vertigo music for The Artist and Ms. Novak who was in Vertigo said the producers/director/whateverthefuck of The Artist were raping the music and she knew because she was raped as a kid.
Uggie doesn't get it either.
Eh. I don't even understand what is going on here. Did she score the movie Vertigo? What has it got to do with her? Look what you've done to us, Johnny Depp!
Oy *facepalm* I kept thinking "THAT'S KIM CATTRALL??!!"
carry on...
============================================
...the end
She should be telling that to a psychologist. Therapy Kim. You need it.
Kim Novak? Oh I thought that was Lindsay Lohan...
please let's not bring that lardass paula deen Y'ALL into this mess.
She is an older woman who got caught up in her words and emotions, trainwreck of a quote, yes. Paula dean stupid? Nay. I do not disagree with uggie though.
Someone call The Home...the oldtimey actress escaped again.
Um, what?
