Woody Allen is a text book case of don't stick your dick in crazy. Did he do that? I dunno. The cops cleared him. His not kid clears him. Farrow and her daughter have been the only ones to consistently say he did while her middle child has swayed back and forth.

Ironically Soon Yi and Allen only got together because Farrow hated they were so standoffish and distant that she made them hang out together. She was also over 18 by the late 80s when their relationship started. So woman scorned, her adult daughter betrayed her, her decade long lover betrayed her and it murks up the water even more of did he or not.

Roman Polanski on the other hand was caught red handed and hollywood should be ashamed of any effort to side with him.

THANK YOU. I tell some people that I saw Woody Allen's Annie Hall and want to see his Crimes and Misdemeanors and they get disgusted at me. His films have been a staple in Hollywood for years. I try to keep the "art away from the artist" and enjoy them as films. Put someone else in the director's chair and no one would bat an eye. Put Woody Allen in the director's chair and everyone loses their minds. :rolleyes:

I have seen Annie Hall and have been wondering, should Woody Allen's films still be watched? The influence the film has on culture is immense and the humor can entertaining. The problem, I don't feel right supporting a maniac who sexually assaults his own child. The art of film can also be used in context away from the creators but the art always has an artist. So I'd like to here your opinion on this because I personally feel mixed about my decision of seeing Annie Hall and wanting to see Crimes and Misdemeanors. The same thing goes for people like Roman Polanski or the now Kevin Spacey if you have anything to say.

Yes, but focus on Peter Sellers, not the girl.

All I focused on in Strangelove. :lol:

I'm asking because it will be on TCM. I have seen Dr. Strangelove and 2001 already and loved those but I don't hear much talk about Lolita.
