The HBO Original Programming Thread

This has nothing to do with his films. Some of us are hard-wired to defend those falsely accused and hate mendacity.

I'm still waiting for a serious statement from you. So far as I can tell you have never made one. I would not expect a doctor to be so wholly lacking in gravitas or moral calculous.

I save my gravitas and serious statements for weightier matters. In a thread defending Allen from even the appearance of impropriety? I'm afraid all you'll get from me is pure snark.

The problem with those of you dabbling in this is you seem not to understand the difference between his life conduct as a rich and super famous person with loose sexual morals and the specific crime he's being accused of committing.

The only reason any of the other stuff is relevant is the extent to which it provides his enemies a motive to frame him.

Some unconscious irony, JL's highlighting difference in age between Allen and Soon Yi, considering Mia married Sinatra (possibly Rona's father with whom she cheated while supposedly a couple with Allen) when she was 21 and he was 50, and after she lost her virginity to him.

[SeattleUte]

Sinatra dumped her two years later. Probably caused lasting psychic scars.

Your whatabout game is strong today.

Ronan is far too handsome to be the spawn of woody allen. I think that Sinatra rumor has legs.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Oh boy. Look at you with your new woke outfit. That gives you moral authority, doesn't it--a well fed middle aged white guy in his big Alpine house should know. You keep surprising me attaining new levels of shallowness.

Actually, Woody Allen is Jewish, and very much so, and I'm sure what's partly going on here is anti-Semitism.

It's not like Mia and Ronan are under-classs.

Dammit, how many times do I have to tell you? I DON'T LIVE IN ALPINE! Never have. And I guarantee my house and lot are smaller than yours.

Anti-semitism? Hmmm... why does this sound familiar?

Never tell SU that your stuff is smaller than his, even if it's true.

[Non Sequitur]

For the record, I'm on team SU when it comes to this issue. Mia Farrow is a psycho loon, and Woody Allen is weird, but having a fondness for young women is a completely different matter than having a fondness for young children. All that aside, your post referencing legs made me chuckle, because in Woody Allen's book he divulges that Ronan Farrow had surgery to lengthen his legs because Mia thought he wouldn't be taken seriously enough as a journalist if he was as short as we was. Just because it's funny, I want that story to be true.

[Sleeping in EQ]

SU and NS have the right of it on this one.

I don’t really care about this whole thing but I am glad woody Allen made “Midnight in Paris” which is one of, if not the favorite movie of all time

Yeah, I love that movie too.

I think it’s more true that we can judge an artist’s character by the content of his work, than that we ought to judge his art by what we perceive to be the content of his character.

While that may be true, what is even more true is that we can judge an artist’s art by the content of his work and his character by what we perceive to be the content of his character.

Even better. If only that were the world we live in.

Likewise, it is better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick.
