yeah but art

Weird

This is even worse than the premise for Manhattan

Still deeply troubled by Wonder Wheel, I encounter Myron Meisel's description of Edgar G. Ulmer's Babes in Bagdad: "Achieves an emotional honesty in a fraudulent context in a unique way that few would be advised to imitate."

that's also a v good description of the CK movie, incidentally

That's accurate. I didn't believe a single line of Timberlake's, and Winslet reprises Cate Blanchett's soggy Blanche act from Blue Jasmine, but the older woman/younger man sexing is refreshing for a while.

JFC Woody Allen needs to meet his end already

Timberlake is ~6 years younger than Winslet xp

the movie makes a point of the five-year difference

Only in Hollywood...

especially since Timberlake, despite the makeup, has aged worse than Winslet.

his face looks like a surgical glove packed with ice

I be on my surg and ice shit, ice shit, ice

WTF?

lol

that must've been soon after What's Up, Tiger Lily?

Could be that Allen gave his permission because he wanted to emulate Bob Hope, who had a DC comic book that lasted for over 100 issues.

comic-book woody looks more dapper and handsome, even, than i remember even the 60s-era woody ever being

I don't think Scott's a bad writer but that piece seems incoherent and uncecessary

The comic was from December '67

Some Backstory: http://www.geekpittsburgh.com/comic-book-appearances/woody-allen

There was a Woody color comic strip in Sunday papers in THE '80s. He's not that pure.

(There was a Jerry Lewis comic book in his movie star era.)

Abrams did a best-of collection of the 1976-84 Woody strip in 2009.

shelved?

Wow

Life will continue to be worth living without his films.

the controversy that NEVER ENDS AND NEVER WILL

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/09/17/whats-happened-to-woody-is-so-upsetting-so-unjust-soon-yi-previn-speaks-out-in-controversial-interview/?utm_term=.c4e3b78b88e3

That piece is fucking grotesque. In what journalistic universe is "I myself have been friends with Allen for over four decades" the opening of paragraph 7, and not a huge fucking disclaimer right underneath the headline/byline?

Mia Farrow is a bad person, therefore Woody didn't abuse Dylan. Checks out.

Soon Yi does not make things better for Woody there. blech.

It's just so unrelentingly mean-spirited: “I remember the second I laid eyes on her,” Soon-Yi says. “There was a big excitement and hoopla around her. And she came to me and she threw her arms around me to give me a big hug. I’m standing there rigidly, thinking, Who is this woman, and can she get her hands off of me? She didn’t ring true or sincere.” She was six at the time.

In this instance, Farrow’s laserlike interest was beamed at Allen (she’d written him, he tells me, a love letter years earlier), to whom she proposed marriage several weeks into their relationship and then two weeks afterward told him she wanted to have his child. When Allen recounts this chain of events, Soon-Yi grills him: “And that wasn’t a turnoff? You didn’t run the other way, run for the hills? This is why I wrote him off as a major loser,” she jokes. When Allen tries to explain himself, she turns to me as if he weren’t in the room: “He’s a poor, pathetic thing. He’s so naïve and trusting, he was probably putty in her hands. One thinks that he’s so brilliant … and yet on certain things he’s so shockingly naïve it makes your head spin and you think he’s putting it on. Mia was waaay over his head,” she says, and bursts out laughing — not quite at Allen but at the thought of his susceptibility to Farrow’s charms.

Dylan allegation aside, pursuing your girlfriend’s adult daughter it itself psychotically selfish—doing something that would obviously destroy a family.

Daphne Merkin is a friend of Allen's.

how is daphne merkin not a pynchon character

There are so many layers of awful in this story that we almost forget that this is thousands of words of Soon-yi trashing the ex-girlfriend of her husband.

i think the moment that throws the sheer incomprehensible madness of this thing into relief is the line about halfway through the profile when daphne merkin casually informs us that, somewhere in the middle of this whole ordeal (i.e., after mia found the photos and after she'd mailed him a family portrait with a knife skewering it but before the dylan incident), "farrow and allen continued to see each other."

incomprehensible weirdos

like i'm still reading these articles out of morbid curiosity but when i got to that part i just realized there's no way i'm ever gonna figure these ppl out.

after she'd mailed him a family portrait with a knife skewering it... "farrow and allen continued to see each other."

have no problem believing either that this wasn't edge-case behaviour for Farrow or that Allen would choose not to escalate conflict in response

yes, which is why i refuse to play detective in this matter, like many insufferable ppl who are *certain* of what happened on both sides

hi!
