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

this thing is creepy right from the title - what a guy to praise in terms of his ability to deceive.

like even if you believe he's innocent, or just want to talk about his films as films, it's still extremely poor taste to defiantly valorize him in these "oh what a brilliantly pleasing but fraudulent stories he tells! What a trickster!" terms.

NYT coverage of him has been nauseating for about a decade, do keep up

what happened in 2004

did the grey lady's worm turn on melinda and melinda or match point

match point

i really like emma stone. i think i am going to see this movie.

Yeah, a prominent Danish film critic shared that. The same shit the author has said over and over (the Yale-investigation was discredited by the custody court, for instance). It's kinda creepy that he would create a whole webpage for it, though.

people shouldn't be blamed for things their mother said 40 years ago

People probably shouldn't even be blamed for things they themselves said 40 years ago. Also, wasn't a pretty big part of Ronans letter about how he himself fell into the same traps in his work in the media?

sometimes I wonder what weird psychodrama compels Ronan to maintain this fiction that Frank Sinatra is not his dad

i feel he doesn't lack for options in the psychodramas-to-hand dept

(tho i guess it wd be fun to discover it was actually one none of us had to date heard about)

("fun")

Maybe it's weird enough to have a fake real dad 50 years your senior without having to entertain the notion of a real real dad who was old enough to have been your weirdly-old fake real dad's real dad.

This seems legit?

In an interview Monday on NPR’s “Diane Rehm Show,” James Kaplan, author of the second volume of “Sinatra: The Chairman,” said there is no way the “My Way” singer could have gotten together with ex-wife Mia Farrow and conceived Ronan, 27, around March 1987.

That’s because, at the time, Sinatra was incapacitated and impotent following a major abdominal surgery three months earlier that involved removal of 12 feet of intestine. He was recovering in Hawaii with his fourth wife, Barbara, and wearing what was essentially a colostomy bag, Kaplan said.

damn frank was 71 when he obviously fathered ronan

as w/ the JFK assassination, none of us know shit

Kaplan bio is what prompted my revive tbh

He was recovering in Hawaii with his fourth wife, Barbara, and wearing what was essentially a colostomy bag, Kaplan said.

"Damn, he's good."

When need to follow Ronan around and snag a cup he drank from, then do DNA testing, detective style.

I'm going to need him to cover "Some Velvet Morning" to see if there's any family resemblance.

Mia actually meant Frank Sinatra JR. when discussing Ronan's parentage.

Source involved in Weinstein trial tells me close to 50 potential jurors have been sent home because they said they’d read Catch and Kill.

last time I checked you didn't need all your intestines to father a child

and as for whether mia would have fucked an old frank with a colostomy bag....well she married woody allen which is pretty much the same thing

yeah, she didn't.

Frank - 12 feet of intestine + colostomy bag > Woody Allen

How is there any doubt that Sinatra is his father?

Because he can't sing?

neither can nancy really

lol

Frank Jr. a shittier singer than Nancy tbrr

Frank - 12 feet of intestine + colostomy bag > Woody Allen

Frank vs. Woody kinda an interesting matchup tbh. I’m not sure who’s got the superior body of work.

i forgot frank jr even existed

xpost -- this old Tom Junod piece on Frank Jr. from 1994 is a hell of a thing

You're saying nowadays Nancy can't even sing?

*applause*

Pretty much every time Frank Jr. is evoked it takes a minute for me to remember that he isn't Garry Lewis.
