you all are underselling morbs inability to differentiate between a court of law and the rest of the world by ignoring the fact that it was all a gambit to sarcastically condescend to millennials, it really demands some sort of lifetime achievement award for ignorance and wrongness

tbf his defense of child molesters here is nothing compared to when he gets started on the catholic church
― balls, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:18 (ten years ago) link
his defense of the catholic church is kinda sensible imo its just wildly out of whack w his moral absolutism about every other thing in the world (except childhood sexual abuse i guess)

Ronan Farrow, the estranged son and brother-in-law of movie-making legend Woody Allen, shelled out $1.495 million for a swanky Upper West Side pad, in advance of his cable-TV debut, The Post has learned.

Like, dude comes from a family that probably has money (although I don't know what his mom's financial situation is exactly), he's a Yale grad lawyer, and he probably got a sick advance on his show. The average sale price of a Manhattan apartment now is over $800K, and over $1.3 million for new construction. Dude is moderately rich and bought a moderately rich dude apartment.

Not so fast:
First, the Soon-Yi situation:
Every time I stumble upon this topic on the internet, it seems the people who are most outraged are also the most ignorant of the facts. Following are the top ten misconceptions, followed by my response in italics:
#1: Soon-Yi was Woody’s daughter. False.
#2: Soon-Yi was Woody’s step-daughter. False.
#3: Soon-Yi was Woody and Mia’s adopted daughter. False. Soon-Yi was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and André Previn. Her full name was Soon-Yi Farrow Previn.
#4: Woody and Mia were married. False.
#5: Woody and Mia lived together. False. Woody lived in his apartment on Fifth Ave. Mia and her kids lived on Central Park West. In fact, Woody never once stayed over night at Mia’s apartment in 12 years.
#6: Woody and Mia had a common-law marriage. False. New York State does not recognize common law marriage. Even in states that do, a couple has to cohabitate for a certain number of years.
#7: Soon-Yi viewed Woody as a father figure. False. Soon-Yi saw Woody as her mother’s boyfriend. Her father figure was her adoptive father, André Previn.
#8: Soon-Yi was underage when she and Woody started having relations. False. She was either 19 or 21. (Her year of birth in Korea was undocumented, but believed to be either 1970 or ’72.)
#9: Soon-Yi was borderline retarded. Ha! She’s smart as a whip, has a degree from Columbia University and speaks more languages than you.
#10: Woody was grooming Soon-Yi from an early age to be his child bride. Oh, come on! According to court documents and Mia’s own memoir, until 1990 (when Soon-Yi was 18 or 20), Woody “had little to do with any of the Previn children, (but) had the least to do with Soon-Yi” so Mia encouraged him to spend more time with her. Woody started taking her to basketball games, and the rest is tabloid history. So he hardly “had his eye on her” from the time she was a child.

Pieces that defend Allen on this ALWAYS start with Soon-Yi, so they can demolish all the straw-misconceptions and get off on the right foot by making it look like there's a public witch-hunt against Allen, then move on to the "more complicated matter" of Dylan.
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:33 (ten years ago) link
Then there's a lot of "I'm not saying...I'm just saying" kind of aspersion casting, and he ignores a lot of the most damning evidence, and stretches the fact that prosecutors determined they didn't have enough to prosecute Allen into there being "no credible evidence," which I don't think anyone investigating the situation ever actually said but I could be wrong.

she's not a public figure in the way that the others involved in this story are, imo

Interesting fact in the Weide piece is that Mia signed off last month on the Purple Rose clip for the Golden Globes tribute to Allen. Wow, her rage is limitless.
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 28 January 2014 17:32 (ten years ago) link
why would she have the rights to that? idgi
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 28 January 2014 17:38 (ten years ago) link
The montage editor, Nicholas Goodman, and I wanted to include a brief moment from The Purple Rose of Cairo, in which Mia appeared. The producers were concerned about whether she would sign a release for the clip. (The Screen Actors Guild maintains very strict rules about obtaining authorization from any actor who appears in a clip excised for compilations.)
