Woody Allen, Mostly like his movies

But Mr. Allen is a creep, I think. Being accused again by the Farrow family (Dylan). Married his own adopted daughter some time ago. My wife wont watch or allow any of his movies in our house (mostly). Sometimes she's OK, if it's one of his euro travel logs as most of his later movies are. Also since he is seldom IN his movies any more she's OK with those .

Kinda creepy. Hope he doesn't drive a Porsche.

He may be a "creep" but Mia revenge-screwed Frank while mad at Woody and now we have Ronan. The whole place is a mess.

I can guarantee you that he does not drive a Porsche. Or a Ford/Chevy/Honda/Jeep/any other brand of car. That's sort of one of the most basic facts about him, (and humorously dealt with in several of his films). He is the quintessential New Yorker and does not drive.

Mia was married to Frank in the 60s.
Mia was dating Woody in the 80s.

Frank's 2ND wife was Ava Gardner (Frank could never get over her), who said of Frank when he married Mia, 'That she (Ava) always knew Frank would marry a boy."

My old 1A proff (Mr Zavadouski) said of Woody back in the 70's, "That Woody is always talking about what a small erection he has" and that was why he never cared for Woody nor his humor

As for his movies I generally can't stand them because EVERY CHARACTER sound just like Woody talking...in other word every character is talking to themselves (Woody writes all his own movies, in case you didn't know that I knew that).

Creep and kid toucher. I read a story in today's paper about Dylan's story. Plus, he's not funny. I could never understand what makes him special.

Woody never adopted Soon Yi, she was Mia's adopted daughter. Mia was the same age and Frank Sinatra was Woody's age when they had an affair, so the age difference thing goes both ways...

Did he really molest Dylan or any others? I does affect my ability to enjoy his movies, especially the ones with him in them.

I've always just strongly disliked Woody Allen as a writer/director. Not only do I not find him funny, but I find him quite irritating. Are there really people this neurotic/self-centered in real life?

I can't imagine Dylon's motivation for doing this being anything other than anger over the fact that he got away with it. His relationship with Sun Yi seems to be further evidence that he inclinations towards young children.

I never was a fan, but do think he was awesome in Take the Money and Run. And I see a lot of him in Larry David, who I think is a genius.

Well, I think he did a lot of good work. A real lot. But I can't enjoy it any more knowing what a scumbag he is. Like Michael Jackson. Sickening.

+1
That's also how I feel about Kramer (Michael Richards) after his racist rant caught on video.
Although not as bad as a child molester IMO. But I can't watch reruns of Seinfeld because of him.
