While I think that he molested Dylan, I don’t believe that Allen is a pedophile or ephobiphilia. Not all child molesters are pedophiles. Pedophiles are driven my genuine attraction to children, some people abuse because of feelings of power and control. Allen’s description of his relationship with Soon-Yi sounds like

Some people are terrible , they search for clues against a child’s allegations but ignore those in the child’s favor. I’m not saying a child can’t be coached but often abusers have plenty of shadey behaviour going on besides the obvious abuse and that shouldn’t be waved away unless you have a really good explanation

everytime my friends and I need a good laugh, we look up Chelsea Handler’s age on IMDB... because we’re not at all convinced she’s only 6 years older than us.

I have a friend like that too! But she has a son who she gave birth to in high school at 15 and now with her adjusted age it makes her 12 when she gave birth.

I tell everyone I'm eighty-seven. If it's good enough for Aragorn, it's good enough for me.

You had to figure something was up when Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t date her.

God, I am so ready for this basic bitch to no longer have a career. No one would know who she was if she wasn't white, blonde, and hot. I had an acting teacher back in the day who said that most Hollywood actors are "models who can memorize lines" and while I don't agree with the entirety of that statement, Blake

Sinatra was a monster, too, unfortunately.

Yeah, never mind that Bing Crosby beat the shit out of his kids and was generally a miserable bastard. Given that this is a woman who has extolled the classiness of plantations, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that she’s nostalgic for the 1940's. What a freaking dingus.

Could not agree more. His movie (the one he makes every five years) fucking sucks. I am bewildered as to why people think he’s some genius of cinema. It most certainly is creepy wish fulfillment and I really fail to understand why anyone likes his work at all.

That’s what I never get about people who want to give woody a pass: you take the bare facts, eliminate whatever grey areas, he said/she said, any conjecture, and give him the benefit of every doubt and he is still a scumbag.

My dad had 5 kids and I’m the only one he molested.

There are situational abusers. Some abusers aren’t naturally attracted to children in general but start to sexualize their own children to fill their own emotional needs.

There’s a distinction between child molesters and pedophiles, with a large amount of overlap between the two groups. Not all molesters are pedophiles, not all pedophiles molest. But once a pedophile starts molesting, yes the odds of it just being one child are slim. As someone else noted, some pedophiles are

It wasn’t so much a joke as it was a jab. I get the feeling she doesn’t know the difference. She doesn’t seem very intelligent. She also comes off as a little naive.

Actually no. A lot of pedophiles are opportunists and will abuse whoever is handy. But some will only abuse their children and have a distinct preference.

Not always, sometimes its specific to a particular child (some parents will abuse one of their children and not others). There is absolutely no doubt that he was intensely and inappropriately obsessed with Dylan regardless of whether the abuse happened, as he was in therapy for it, so it could have been specific to

He also, according to the custody decisions, showed absolutely no remorse about it or even understanding as to why it would be upsetting to his children (two of whom he was literally adopting at the time he started his relationship with Previn) that he would be having an affair with their sister.

I don't even care about this movie. I'm just loving the long hair and facemask guy.
