Woody Allen

I'm glad you deleted that last part.
Anyway, maybe she was not legally his stepdaughter, but their relationship was the same as the one between father and daughter, before he got sleezy on her.
"Woody left Mia during the beginning of his relationship with Soon-Yi."
Can you honestly tell me that you don't think he was hitting on her before this?

And it's not a single accusation, it was just the top of the iceberg that finally appeared.

 
"I'm glad you deleted that last part"

It was rude.


"Anyway, maybe she was not legally his stepdaughter, but their relationship was the same as the one between father and daughter"

No, it wasn't. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned but to me a requirement of considering someone a father is that they had part in the raising of the child. Woody wasn't.


"Can you honestly tell me that you don't think he was hitting on her before this?"

You mean years earlier or days/weeks/a month earlier? I don't think he hit on her during his entire relationship with Mia. I have no reason to.


"And it's not a single accusation, it was just the top of the iceberg that finally appeared"

What the hell are you talking about?
 
Oh, and I really would like this explained.
So you're willing to think someone is "bad" because of a single accusation made once by one individual but to think someone is "good" you would have to talk to their wife personally?

Woody rocks

I recommend also the plays of Neil Simon--Brighton Beach Memoirs, Sunshine Boys, God's Favorite, and Prisoner of Second Avenue to name a few. Simon, incidentally, got his start writing television for "The Phil Silvers Show". As a strange side note, Simon's daughter apparently married Woody Harrelson for a day on a bet. I've heard Woody tell the story on Letterman before.

But, of Woody Allen--does anybody remember the music video for "Land of Confusion" by Genesis? The puppeteers for that one went on to do a show called "DC Puppets", which spoofed cosmopolitan America. It was short-lived, but I thought it was pretty funny. They used to do this running gag that was taken from the very beginning of Allen's Manhattan, with the rewriting of an opening, based apparently on some public spat between Woody and Mia. I think that was my first exposure to Woody Allen. I remember when he took heat in the 80s for a $4 million contract for TV adverts for an Italian grocery chain: "I have a lot of mouths to feed," he answered frankly. September was my first Woody Allen film that I remember, and I still recommend it as a quirky grasp at the better side of shallow eighties comedy. I've found that I could care less about seeing Woody films in the theaters. They play well enough on video, and they're the kind of films I prefer to watch in a close setting. About the only Woody appearance I can think of that would drag me out to the theater is a digital reprint of Casino Royale, in which he plays the most delightful of villains.

Tiassa :cool:
 
Sorry, I've never understood peoples' fascination with the man. I have not read his plays, I have only seen some of his movies, and I found them without exception to be boring, predictable, pointless, and not half as witty as they attempt to be. Perhaps his humour simply does not suit my tastes.
 
Well, I just have the feeling that he is a creep from watching his films. And then information comes forth that reinforces my feelings. So what can I say Tyler...I just loath him. Can't I just have that? Do I have to be perfect? If I can hate just one man in the world, may it be the worm Woody Allen.

OMG! The number of young teenage groupies The Beatles fucked in their heyday is such a massive number I don't even want to think about it. But I still love them, they're human beings. They realized it was worng, and moved on.

This website tells of some of the stuff they were involved in.http://www.oxfordstudent.com/2001-06-06/features/2

As to Soon Yi, I was surprised but not shocked. Great artists are nearly always supremely selfish people. When Allen said, as a way of explaining himself, "The heart wants what it wants," I recognized the tone of the truly self-absorbed. Of course, self-absorption is what Allen's best movies have always been about.

What he said.
 
Woody Allen has the unique effect of making me feel like he hired a private detective to investigate my life for material in his movies.:D
 
"Well, I just have the feeling that he is a creep from watching his films. And then information comes forth that reinforces my feelings."

I don't know if you realized this, but that statement is like a text-book example of a fallacy.


"Can't I just have that? Do I have to be perfect?"

You gettin' a little too pissy here, Beb?
Do you have to be perfect?
No. But I'd love it if you'd just follow logic.


"If I can hate just one man in the world, may it be the worm Woody Allen."

You can hate whomever the fuck you want, I really don't care. But simply say you hate the man and don't believe every little trash-news gossip piece you hear because it backs up an opinion you already hold. And try and have an informed background on something if you're going to be arguing about the facts.
 
"I've found that I could care less about seeing Woody films in the theaters. They play well enough on video, and they're the kind of films I prefer to watch in a close setting."

Definetly. Just sitting in a basement. No monster-tv or theatre required.


"the only Woody appearance I can think of that would drag me out to the theater is a digital reprint of Casino Royale, in which he plays the most delightful of villains."

God being done in theatre with Woody in the cast would take me out of my seat.
 
Woody Allen - In the book, "What Falls Away," Mia Farrow described her shock at first discovering Allen had taken pornographic photos of her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn and then that he was having an affair with the 17-year-old. (Allen and Soon-Yi were married in late 1997.)
