Soon-Yi was never his daughter. She was adopted by Mia Farrow, separately from Woody. Not saying it’s not weird, but his daughter she isn’t.

This is veering towards the weird creepy thought police kind of stuff rather than an actual article about Woody Allen assaulting someone. I don’t like Allen and at this point I believe him to be guilty, but what is the value here?

Eh, sometimes people just make stuff up to get other people to pay attention to them. Doesn’t require any deeper motivation or benefit than that.

Commas are important.

Yeah would agree with this. Wrong is wrong, of course, regardless of degree, but the degree of wrongness is almost the only thing that matters when we’re deliberating on how to treat or punish a person, legally or otherwise.

No. No it didn’t. No, the overall plot was not solid. Star Wars was never supposed to be “mature” or about pod races and trade disputes. They were never supposed to be boring or annoying as the first three movies were neither of those things. Sorry, but no.

Apologies for being pedantic, but I think you mean “red herring” instead of “macguffin.” A macguffin is something being sought by the heroes, with the idea being that it really doesn’t matter what it us, as long as it works as motivation for the characters. A red herring is an element in the story that draws the…

There is such an overwhelmingly negative and cynical slant to these previews when one considers how well acclaimed films like The Disaster Artist and The Post have been elsewhere.

I bet the movie doesn’t even acknowledge and consider the recent sexual harassment allegations in Hollywood. Gawker Media can and should be outraged by the morality of it all.

No, no, the flaws and mistakes of all historical figures must be acknowledged at all times.

This year’s entry into the Movie to Be Greeted with “Uh. Yeah, okay. I guess” When Suggested as the Family Holiday Movie Outing” race.

Since there is only ONE extramarital affair, and it didn’t occur during the writing of A Christmas Carol, I think we can safely say the movie won’t be mentioning it.

Hagiographies are boring, and Winston Churchill was anything but boring. In terms of racism and misogyny Sir Winston was probably no worse than everyone else in the early 20th century (and certainly better than some), but as a leader he had his highs and his lows. I mean, the guy was a major power for over half a…

No, you’re right. There isn’t enough negative commentary tearing down accomplished individuals at the moment. Let’s shit on everything. We’re Millennials, right? It’s our prerogative!

You ask an excellent question! I’ll try to answer as succinctly as I can. The key to understanding Ruby’s actions, as with Oswald, is to understand his character. Gerald Posner does this far better than I can in his book “Case Closed,” but suffice to say there are numerous accounts that attest to Ruby’s mental…

So let me get this straight: You find it unrealistic that a random night club owner who liked the president and was completely shocked and appalled like the rest of the country got mad enough at the guy who shot him to commit murder, but completely plausible that the some random night club owner was willing to accept…

God that letter is so disorganized and full of speculation . And I so tire of the rhetorical argument that because person A has a connection to person B, person A must therefore be corrupt or otherwise in league with person B. It’s all a distraction to larger details far harder to refute. The fingerprints on the…

I just don’t get the OTT adoration for indie films like this. It’s cute, it’s simple and the performances are great (Metcalf a standout) but it’s not superlative worthy as this review. I also knew almost every beat as it was coming so I would argue it is cliche in many ways. That’s not a bad thing, it’s like indie…

I can’t get behind the sentiment of people being disappointed that someone who’s work and career they admire turned out to be a creep in their real lives. If every celebrity, artist, musician, actor or...even...politician had to be a shining example of righteousness in their personal lives, there’d probably be NO…

Okay, sound bad enough for me not to see it, or maybe just on a plane sometime. [For the record - LBJ knew and cared more about civil rights (and about being poor) than Kennedy could ever conceive.]
