Another white person striving to heighten their profile by taking advantage of black talent? I’m stunned. Shocked even!

I think your “permanently banned” point is interesting, but for me the issue is they never really paid for the crime (in as much as you can). Had Polaski and Allen went to jail, then maybe let them get back to their jobs without calling them out at every turn. But, in Allen’s case, he had sketch relationships with…

I'm saying that when an adult preys on a child, despite her growing up, the relationship isn't healthy.

It makes them pedophiles if you were a child.

She was his fucking therapist therefore hired by him. All therapists are mandated reporters. Once the allegations came out she was required to reveal that he was seeing her because of his troublesome relationship with his daughter- presumably she didn’t have to report it previously because she believed him that he…

it’s not Mia, it’s a mandated reporter who testified in court who was hired by Woody Allen. And this is why they call it rape culture. There is nothing that will make some people admit that the preponderance of the evidence is for guilt. Maybe many, many people lied about what they saw, heard and experienced- or you…

Also, how fucking hilarious is her saying “If we were persecuted for the amount of shit that’s been said about us that’s not true” when she’s clearly referring to ‘persecution’ she got for shit she absolutely, definitely, unquestionably DID do? The thing she got raked over the coals for was sleeping with that…

So, a couple of witnesses, HIS therapist, the testimony of the child, the mother, the judge, and the fact that he was having an affair with the 18ish other daughter of the mother of his children and partner at the time and taking nude photos of her which he left lying around (he was 60), but he still gets the benefit-…

He says he’s the same person he was when he was twenty. He’s the furthest thing from being self-aware.

The weird thing is she also compares it to something she absolutely did that she was then ‘persecuted’ for: sleeping with her director leading to the disolution of both their relationships. She’s also suggesting that the continual claims of Allen’s children and ex-wife to his abuse are similar to people gossiping…

Not necessarily, IMO at least. To me, this sounds pretty similar to how she reacts to any adverse coverage. I definitely agree that she uses the language of rape culture here, I just don’t think she’d feel any differently if the movie were directed by Kim Jong Un or Pol Pot or someone known for basically anything…

(except his wife was playing Kristen’s mother in the movie she was making at the time)

Same here. And to be honest, I still wrestle with the fact that Annie Hall is one of my all time favorite movies, but I don’t try to justify loving that movie by saying “Well, I don’t know the people who made these allegations about him so I guess I can’t judge!” I just acknowledge that fact that horrible people can…

Yes. In a way, as I have a crush on her, I kind of appreciate her honesty compared to Stone or Blanchet. In an other way, it’s a very problematic answer trying to rationalize cooperating with a creepy dude to have an interesting and prestigious project.

I guess my main question is, who still wants to fuck Ozzy Osbourne?

I hope I’m rich enough to afford an invisible chair someday.

This storyline was always the best part of the movie for me, because it could have just been played for laughs (“awkward girl embarrasses herself! ha!”) and instead Nelson is SO INTO IT.

So, which are the Canadians, Irish ones and Swedes?

“There’s no crying in baseball!” is one of the most flexible quotes I’ve ever heard. So easy to swap out the last word for anything else.
