Predictably difficult to stomach, but worth reading nonetheless.

Read about this last night. Disgusting! But if Woody said the "N" word, it would be all over the news.

We'll probably never know if it's true, but it wouldn't be surprising because his relationship with Soon-Yi is weird as ****.

Ya that trips me out. It's crazy that Woody Allen can chill in NYC while Roman Polanski is exiled in the Swiss Alps.

Polanski drugged and raped a 13 year old girl. The fact that he's free in Europe and not in a ass-rape-a-day prison here is ridiculous.

Is it not as ridiculous that Woody Allen has no issue walking freely in NY?

Oh I totally agree. It's just strange that consequences of their actions are completely different.

Woody Allen makes better movies.

Both of them probably get into Raiders games free.

Both of them probably get into Raiders games free.

 

And are still overpaying.

Mia's book describes almost the same deviant behavior between Woody  and her daughters

To answer her question I'd say my favorite Woody Allen movie is "Broadway Danny Rose" with "Crimes and Misdemeanors" as a close second .

Do I think he is a good guy ? It's not a news flash that he has done some terrible things - do I love his movies ? - Yes and for some reason when I watch them I don't think of Soon Yi or this article .

We will never know if this is true - if it is he is truly an awful human being .

Like to say I'm surprised.  I'm not.  

 

Married the adopted daughter of a 10 year girlfriend, when the adopted daughter was 21.  Which means he was in her life since the adopted daughter was 11.

Sad that they are trying to besmirch his name and reputation. It's not a coincidence that this is happening during awards season. Scum bags.

[HaloMagic]

Perfectly normal.

This douchebag's movies suck, anyway.

Excellent usage of the term 'besmirch'.

Either she's chosen to invent stories of child sexual abuse against a man who ran off with a woman to whom he was a father figure or else he really is a child rapist. Either way that was one screwed up household.

yes, this is only about dragging a good man down. you unlocked the code!

Having heard some stories from those molested as children and how well the writeup matches up with their stated experiences either it's true or they really did their homework on the classic molestation scenarios before writing it.

Yeah, it is weird.  As weird as dating a woman with a dong.

[InsideThePark]

interesting how she calls out actors and actresses by name.

I suppose none of us could know for sure but I believe her.

Thanks. Although besmirch is a word not a term.

Glad that somebody realized I was joking. Sometimes I don't know about the people around here...

I'm on to you.
