- samuelcotterall, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12Woody Allen is one of the most important filmmakers of the last thirty years and all you sad ***** can do is make references to a web browser.
- whiterussian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3No he didn't. Soon-yi was never his child.
- JonnyTrombone, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I'm not saying it isn't creepy- but he never married Farrow, and he never adopted Soon-Yi (Thank you, Wikipedia)
- SmackaMuta, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Because both Opera and Woody Allen are artistically wonderful
Also, this comment system will prevent my reply from being read by many a digger - Conwaysb0718, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2me too!
- dimebags, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5most artists have problems, it usually has nothing to do with their art. commenting about it is amazing predictable and really really boring. woody allen is an amazing filmmaker.
- samuelcotterall, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2And I'm pretty sure I just commented on this article.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You're an armchair opera critic. Very, very few operas (actually, six) have a plot that does not echo the plots of the Sophocles and Aeschylus, and therefore are of course seen as cliche. And if all you see in Allen's movies are "wacky shenanigans", then you need to read a few books.
- whiterussian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It wasn't his adopted daughter either. Do some research before you call someone an idiot. As I have done mine, I am free to say that you, sir, are an idiot.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Thats right. He was never Soon-Yi's adopted father. There are two important things to know about the situation:
1. she's completely ok with it, as anyone who knew her at Rutgers in the late 80s/early 90s can attest
2. Mia Farrow is the one who went to the tabloids, and then the papers, about their breakup and why. The child custody battle between the two was simply one made-up charge by Farrow after another, each one dropped very quickly in court. - manicallday, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Dude is seriously growing his own pussy. Raising his own girlfriends and *****.
-I stole this from Paul Mooney- - samuelcotterall, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I take it you have never seen Manhattan?
- jefu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Indeed. Anyone who had the chance to the the Metropolitan Opera's "Il Trittico" knows just how good the work is, and the "Gianni Schicchi" segment was fun, so the idea of Woody Allen directing it is more than intriguing.
- whiterussian, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2She was over 18 when their affair started.
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1yeah, being a pedophile is ok as long as you make a good movie.
- chaosmachine, on 10/11/2007, -5/+5Michael Bay To Direct Firefox
- NancyMc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+01. Allen went after Farrow's two older adopted daughters who both turned him down before he tried Soon-Yi. He started the affair with her while she was in high school.
2. The custody battles was not made-up charges - and Farrow was not the only one who accused Allen of odd, creepy behavior.
Try reading Farrow's book "What Falls Away" which includes court documents, before defending that creepy ugly washed up old pedophile. And Allen has never hidden his desire for under-aged girls - it's in his films. Why are you people in such denial that he would actually practice what he preached? - Conwaysb0718, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I could have swore I clicked on the Net Neutrality comments...
- JonnyTrombone, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11) He never adopted her. 2) She was 22.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2It still doesn't hide or neutralize the fact that he is:
1) a schmuck
2) not funny - endustry, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3If this stops him from making any more fish-out-water comedies about milquetoast thirty-somethings who all speak frantically about mundane crap while ***** each other behind each other's backs, I say go for it, Woodman. His late-70s, early-80s stuff was brilliant but his one-flick-per-year attitude has left much to be desired.
- maryboston, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Maybe you haven't seen the good ones: Hollywood Ending, Match Point, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion and Anything Else are excellent.
- Gosunkugi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Ah, the internet, the pinnacle of wit as always. There is something fitting about Allen directing Puccini, though, because both have the same tendency of, whilst being talented, overusing the same plot ideas to a ridiculous extent (in Allen's case, the wacky shenanigans of neurotic middle-aged people, often in NYC. In Puccini's, "guy meets girl. Girl dies.").
Though, to be fair, I've never read up on the one Allen's directing, and if it's Puccini's only COMEDY then maybe it was decidedly different. - OneEye, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Every movie of his I've seen has been *****. I know you're supposed to act like it's some kind of high art, but sadly it isn't. It's just junk and the man is a serious pedophile.
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2how is it that his pedophilia is ok but micheal jackson's is not? he even married his victim!
- chi1thook, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2A story of Woody Allen adopting and marrying a 12 year old asian girl, opera is going downhill.
- thirdape, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Yeah. It doesn't count if it's your ADOPTED Daughter. That's not creepy or disgusting. Idiot.
- eightyd, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1But when will he direct firefox?
- cuoops, on 10/11/2007, -7/+4In other news(archived): He married his ex-wife's adopted daughter.
- imightbewrong, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2woody allen does it for the eggs
- mortigon, on 10/11/2007, -9/+5Woody Allen stands on stage and feels up a teenage asian girl in a plaid skirt.
BRILLIANCE! - procdaddy, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1I'd be a little more excited if this was for Opera, the browser. :/
- TechnoGuyRob, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3Someone please tell me how this got to the front page.
Also, this comment system sucks. - kenvsryu, on 10/11/2007, -9/+4He married his child.
- ummmmm, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2lol his name is ████ allen!
