@clearthinker I am a hypocrite. If Allen’s movies were so awesome, I would still watch them. Phil Spector was a murderer and I still listen to his songs during Christmas. The irony! But to stay on subject, the reason I also don’t watch Allen’s stuff is that his pedophilia - to me - comes across in several of his movies. (And again, I wasn’t there, so who knows.) All we know is that the facts make me cringe about the Soon-Yi story, it is as creepy and predatory and despicable as it gets. You see, if you had let it be, we wouldn’t have dragged it out, again. |
@grislybutter I like most of Allen's work over the last 20 years or so. It is much more varied than his first 30 years film making. Since you haven't seen them, you will be pleased to learn that so far as I remember there were no under 21s appearing so any alternative action must have taken place off camera. As for Mr Spector, after a few listenings I could do without his wall of sound that was far too samey and ruined George Harrison's masterpiece album and also a Leonard Cohen LP amongst a lot of others. It is a strange world today's youth live in where murder isn't too much of a problem (think gang killings in the USA and Latin America and stabbings in the UK) but the merest negative comment against black lives, LBGT+++++++++ad naus and Me Too are the grave sins of the day. Ho hum |
@clearthinker I don't perceive what you do, namely that murder isn't much of a problem and negative comments about BLM are and that the two are in any way comparable, the way I see it.... well, this is where I should stop. Why argue about stuff completely off topic. We are very different and we won't change by reasoning here on this anonymous forum. |
