Mia Farrow's son -- Ronan Seamus Farrow -- really creeps me out!

People magazine will never die as long as waiting rooms exist.

Maybe People mag has greater currency among showbiz kids

What was the rag that I saw once on Entourage and everybody made a big deal about it? Variety? I have no idea what that is

Dylan spoke to PEOPLE shortly after she learned what her brother had said. Clearly anguished, she sobbed as she said, "My brother has broken my heart. Moses divorced himself from the family a long time ago. I always missed him. I loved him and I kept him in my thoughts. These lies – this betrayal – is unfathomable to me coming from a brother I loved and cherished and grew up with," she said.

most devoted People reader i know broke firmly with woody allen the first time around so they may be out in front on this one

you just aren't their aud (that's a latin word -- variety mag uses a lot of them! ;) )

Latin?? Tired of the blatant bias towards Occidentalism in Hollywood. End Occidental Hegemony Now

You really didn't know what Variety was? That's a big deal in Hollywood.

Thinking it was the Hollywood Reporter. The text was Green

it's not far off

trying to summarize this story in Variety lingo

Harrowing Farrows Knock Altecocker

Sick of this viridescent-bias in Hollywood. End Viridscent Hegemony Now; Promote A New Vermilion World Order

Item!

"Oh, wow." is basically the most memorable thing joan didion ever wrote (i have a terrible memory).

variety is kind of a shell of its former itself (for one thing, they ceased publishing a daily edition after over 100!!! years!!!) but it was until pretty damn recently without a doubt the most important magazine for the American (and possibly world) film, television, and theater industries ever.

i LOVE variety lingo.

also in case you didn't know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticks_nix_hick_pix

what was this thread about again?

it's hard to stop talking about something you've suppressed for a long time once you've started talking about.

Jon Lovett, former Obama speechwriter and a close friend of Ronan Farrow has been tweeting a lot of detail drawn from the actual court documents:

he's also linked extensively to a 1997 profile of the prosecutor in charge of the case with tons more clarifying detail about the investigation

I believe Dylan and I need to stop reading this stuff. Nauseated.

"So how'd you beat the rap?"

"Ce n'est pas difficile!"

mia farrow is a polanski supporter, which in context is just O_O

source?

everywhere

farrow defended polanski in an unrelated issue involving a libel charge, not the rape case:

more like, type it into google and you will find a lot of results at respectable news outlets

fwiw someone on twitter posted that she was still friends with roman polanski, to which mia replied "i'm not."

https://twitter.com/swin24/status/427933381553176576

she testified on his behalf in 2005 on an issue unrelated to the rape charge, and people who want to disparage the farrows (as if it even matters one iota to Dylan's credibility) are running with it, is all I can seem to see. Now suddenly they're best friends.

I agree that that's irrelevant to the questions at hand, as is her "never breaking up" with that human shitstain Sinatra.

then it shouldn't be hard for you to link me to one

also you guys realize there is something called subpoena power right? She didn't necessarily testify because she wanted to.

here's a link http://piersmorgan.blogs.cnn.com/2014/02/04/roman-polanskis-victim-on-accusations-leveled-at-woody-allen-everybody-should-pull-back-and-not-make-this-such-a-public-thing/

In 1977, following the accusations that Geimer leveled at her abuser, it was the elder Farrow who came to Polanski's defense, writing a letter on the director's behalf.

maybe it's bs tho

No, that's true, but that was in 1977 and before the allegations were proven. People are acting like TODAY she is going all buddy buddy with Polanski and saying he's innocent.

ah

i wasn't using Mia's occasionally support for Polanski as evidence of anything, just that it was pretty surprising. hence the O_O

Clears a few things up:

Note he also brings up the fucking film clip, proving that for all his alleged profundity this asshole is no smarter or more clever than your average People magazine reader.

very Solomonic of you

I almost said "average ILXor" but it's nearly Valentine's Day.

looks like his tactics remain the exact same as the judge called out two decades ago

a ton of things in his piece are almost verbatim things I've already read in internet comments.

Undoubtedly the attic idea came to her from the Dory Previn song, “With My Daddy in the Attic.” It was on the same record as the song Dory Previn had written about Mia’s betraying their friendship by insidiously stealing her husband, André, “Beware of Young Girls.” One must ask, did Dylan even write the letter or was it at least guided by her mother? Does the letter really benefit Dylan or does it simply advance her mother’s shabby agenda? That is to hurt me with a smear. There is even a lame attempt to do professional damage by trying to involve movie stars, which smells a lot more like Mia than Dylan.

This part struck me as one of the oddest - first the shoehorning in of Dory Previn, then suggesting that Dylan didn't even write the letter himself, because referencing movie stars sounds like something mia would do rather than the daughter he hasn't interacted with since childhood?

write the letter herself, sorry

yeah, that was really weird. I don't understand why he went there. Was Mia also ventriloquist dummying Dylan when she spoke to People Magazine?

Woody Allen is a filmmaker in New York City.

'Even the venue where the fabricated molestation was supposed to have taken place was poorly chosen but interesting. Mia chose the attic of her country house, a place she should have realized I’d never go to because it is a tiny, cramped, enclosed spot where one can hardly stand up and I’m a major claustrophobe. The one or two times she asked me to come in there to look at something, I did, but quickly had to run out. Undoubtedly the attic idea came to her from the Dory Previn song, “With My Daddy in the Attic.” It was on the same record as the song Dory Previn had written about Mia’s betraying their friendship by insidiously stealing her husband, André, “Beware of Young Girls.”'

i'm not surprised allen has brought this up. i saw a reference to this song in dory previn's wiki entry a couple of weeks ago and then read the lyrics and was struck by the coincidences (the father in the song even plays clarinet) and wondered if allen might try to use it to discredit mia farrow. both this song and 'beware of young girls' seemed to have slight extra prominence in the overall discussion of previn's work so i even wondered if someone had edited her entry on his behalf, hoping people would notice and draw the exact conclusions he is now broadcasting. it's not impossible that someone with a penchant for staging scenes and who was familiar with the song might choose the attic venue with the intention of later using the lyrics to create obfuscation to defend himself. it's not farfetched to think that a child abuser might consider in advance ways to foil a seven year old's testimony.

wikipedia: 'Much of the album, which like several subsequent albums was produced by Venet, deals with her experiences in the late 1960s. "Mister Whisper" examines episodes of psychosis from within the confines of a psychiatric hospital, while "Beware of Young Girls" is a scathing attack on Mia Farrow and her motives for befriending the Previns (Farrow belatedly apologized to Dory in her memoir What Falls Away). The track "With My Daddy in the Attic" is a chilling piece dealing with Stockholm Syndrome and fantasies of incest.'
