After a four-month investigation, London's Metropolitan Police said Wednesday the rocker "was not in possession of any downloaded child abuse images" but had accessed a site containing such images in 1999 The arrest was part of Operation Ore, an FBI-led crackdown on Internet child pornography "As I made clear at the outset, I accessed the site because of my concerns at the shocking material readily available on the Internet to children as well as adults, and as part of my research toward the campaign I had been putting together since 1995 to counter damage done by all kinds of pornography on the Internet, but especially any involving child abuse," he said in a statement Townshend, known for his windmill style of playing guitar and smashing the instrument on stage, was one of The Who's four founding members, along with bassist John Entwistle, singer Roger Daltrey and drummer Keith Moon Townshend denied being a pedophile and said he had campaigned against child pornography Townshend, 57, was arrested in January on suspicion of making and possessing indecent images of children " As part of the cautioning procedure, Townshend's fingerprints, photograph and a DNA sample will be taken by police and he will be placed on a national sex offender registry for five years The musician acknowledged using his credit card to enter a Web site advertising child pornography but said he was doing research for his autobiography Their hits included "My Generation," "I Can See for Miles," "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't Get Fooled Again Moon died in 1978 and Entwistle died last year, but Townshend and Daltrey continued touring Townshend Cleared of Possessing Kid Porn May 7, 3:21 PM EST Rock guitarist Pete Townshend, co-founder of The Who, was cleared Wednesday of possessing pornographic images of children but still was placed on a national register of sex offenders On Wednesday, Townshend said he was wrong to access the Web site, but said police accepted he had no "nefarious purpose" in doing so The group, founded in London in the early 1960s, was part of the first British rock invasion with the Rolling Stones and The Beatles " The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 That registration was part of a formal police caution Townshend received for accessing a Web site containing images of child abuse Police, however, said it was not a defense "to access these images for research or out of curiosity The title character in Townshend's rock opera "Tommy" â€â€? a deaf, dumb and blind pinball wizard â€â€? is sexually abused by an uncle, and Townshend said he believed he was sexually abused as a young boy while in the care of his mentally ill grandmother Everything happens at the same emotional register, from Pinocchio's deception at the hands of the Cat and the Fox to his reunion with Gepetto inside the belly of a whale At the Movies: 'Pinocchio' Dec 27, 8:20 AM EST Roberto Benigni spends a lot of time talking with his back to the camera in "Pinocchio," the better to obscure his lips, the movement of which has no relation to the sound attributed to them Then there's Nicoletta Braschi, Benigni's wife, as the Blue Fairy, her dewy features caressed by the great cinematographer Dante Spinotti Why did Benigni think this was a good idea? Beyond that, why did he think anything about his deadly live-action version of "Pinocchio" was a good idea? Using the creative freedom afforded to him by "Life is Beautiful," Benigni has massacred a children's classic Blue has always been Spinotti's favorite color, and this fairy is a blue-haired knockout PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 Some material may be inappropriate for young children But that's about it Benigni's style remains flat and literal-minded even through the story's most fantastical elements Running time: 100 minutes Some material may not be suitable for children R â€â€? Restricted â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences This is a story ingrained in the culture; it's easier to mess it up than do it right One star out of four The lovely 1940 Disney version is deservedly foremost in everyone's mind, but "Pinocchio" has been filmed in one form or another more than two dozen times, making it even less clear what Benigni thought he could bring to the material " "Pinocchio," a Miramax Films release, is rated G NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted Make no mistake, though, this "Pinocchio" would be a disaster even in Italian Benigni, who also directed and co-wrote the screenplay, hews closely to the Carlo Collodi children's book, hoping that magic will spring from a faithful adaptation Benigni, who can make adults laugh like children, will bore kids as much as their parents with his "Pinocchio None of them gets the chance to be funny; you're unlikely even to notice such performers as John Cleese, Eddie Griffin, Cheech Marin and Regis Philbin are doing the talking He talks to himself frequently, but even when he's talking to someone else he sounds like he's the only one in the room Pinocchio doesn't so much grow and change through his adventures as he's pinwheeled abruptly from one incident to another He has a goofiness that suggests he can't quite believe what he's saying, yet he still performs with relish This is a squirm-a-thon for all ages, with kung fu movie-grade dubbing that's an insult to the craft We don't feel we're being drawn into a magical world so much as dropped into a thinly imagined fantasy without a map Apparently unhappy with his efforts to dub his character into English with his own voice, Benigni fired himself at the last minute and hired American actor Breckin Meyer, whose voice work as Pinocchio takes the form of a nattering, whiny, supremely annoying monologue His new film is unlikely to be enjoyed by anyone old enough to read subtitles, making dubbing a must, yet the near-total disconnect between sound and image is likely to lull even the youngest moviegoers into a stupor His work, though, is jarring, an uneven pastiche of bricks-and-mortar sets and bizarre digital effects All ages admitted Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian Vocally, Topher Grace (of "That 70's Show") provides some pep as Pinocchio's lollipop-loving buddy, Leonardo PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested You can envision the bewildered voice cast in a recording studio, trying vainly to match their lines with the lips of Italian actors they've never met There are a few scattered pleasures |
