Allen is a creep, but Midnight in Paris is simply a phenomenal movie.

His most famous films, the characters are insufferable.



Who is this Little Lord Fauntleroy as an adult?

But Match Point is a really good movie. It's not NY narcissism.

Well, Woody is one weird dude, even if the molestation allegations are untrue. Who the hell has an affair and marries the adopted daughter of your long time lover?

However, Mia is no saint. She’s as fricked up as he is. All those adopted kids with disabilities, and so few of them had anything like a normal childhood. Two committed suicide and another died in strange circumstances.

Here’s an article from the Guardian that sheds a little different light on the subject.

Interview
Moses Farrow: ‘I’d be very happy to take my father’s surname’

Moses Farrow, another of the adopted kids, disputes the molestation charges made by his sister, Dylan.

Moses had always avoided the limelight, but in 2018 he felt he could do so no more. He published an excoriating blog arguing for his father’s innocence and describing Dylan’s allegation as “ridiculous”: “There was no electric train set in that attic. There was, in fact, no way for kids to play up there, even if we had wanted to,” he wrote. “As a trained professional, I know that child molestation is a compulsive sickness … yet some would have you believe that, at the age of 56, [Allen] suddenly decided to become a child molester.” He wrote that two of his siblings, Tam and Thaddeus, had killed themselves (the family said Tam died of heart failure), and that Lark had died in poverty of an Aids-related illness.

There was abuse in his family, he wrote, but it did not come from his father. His mother, he wrote, was physically abusive to the children, and she “brainwashed” them, punishing them until they said what she told them to, even if they knew it was a lie. “I had a disability and emotional sensitivities, and that lent itself to being a target,” he tells me.

Dylan replied to Moses’ blog saying, “My brother is a troubled person,” and Ronan dismissed it as part of the “repeated campaign to discredit my sister, often by attacking my mother”. Soon-Yi then gave an interview backing up her brother’s claims about Mia being abusive. In the early 90s, the media wrote gushing articles about Mia’s large and happy blended family, but for the past three decades battle lines have been angrily scorched across it, the children now fighting as viciously as their parents once did.

The article also explains how Mia Farrow as a young woman working as a nanny began having an affair with the married man she worked for, Piven. Piven left his wife to be with Mia, and then the now ex-wife killed herself.

I don’t have an opinion on who is the sicker of the two, but I know not to believe every word of a made for tv hit piece.

I know Ronan is supposed to Woody Allen's son, but it is rumored that Mia continued to have a life long affair with her ex Frank Sinatra until his death.

Honestly - Who does Ronan resemble

I was watching last night thinking how the frick did woody Allen create such a handsome kid. Now I know. Ronan is most definitely a Sinatra

I don't have an alter. And I watched Ronan do an interview and he's way too flamboyant for me.

I'm surprised he never tried to use a hologram of Dom Deluise.

I would watch it if it also had a Burt Reynolds hologram
