So Woody Allen headlining Moscow Film festival this week, saying things like how he always loved Russian cinema. Wow I didn’t know his movie career was that bad he needed to turn to Russia of all places for scraps while they bomb my home country every day.
He can stay there
Another pedophile!
He knows Putin's the only friend that has your back if you're on that list
Maybe Woody is dropping off the Epstein Files at Vlad’s place—for safekeeping.
Woody Allen is a pedophile, also. So, there's that.
Another creepy old man with a penchant for much younger women. Nothing to see here, folks. I'm sure it's all just a coincidence.
A college professes i took some classes from decades ago said "The older you get the more like yourself you become." That explains Allen and something of what Putin has on him....
I mean, he married his daughter so I wouldn't expect anything other than this of him.
FUCK HIM and his incestuous ass
I thought his career was over when his seven year old adopted daughter accused him of rape. Then he married his x-wife's adopted daughter (he was 62 and Soon-Yi Previn was 27).
Woody Allen was a talented movie director but a pedophile who married his wife Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter. He raised her. He also allegedly molested his other daughter. Another sick one. Putin’s got compromat on them all. www.bbc.com/news/enterta...
Well he did marry his adopted child after all.
I can’t watch his films knowing he is a pedophile.
Another pedophile trying to stay relevant!
He was pals with Epstein, what's not to believe?
european-security.com/the-cesspool...
Abusers are gonna be attracted to abusers
Slava Ukraini!
It's a creeps hideout there and I'm sure Putin knows a few skeletons in Allen's closet as well. Mr KGB himself.
It doesn't surprise me Allen would feel an affinity for Russia, where domestic violence is legal.
Stay there Woody!
He is a self centered sanctimonious hypocrite Who is quick to Judge others and even quicker to justify his own self serving creepy and even abusive behavior Look at his movies, it’s all there
Proto Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Doesn’t change my opinion of him one bit. Still disgusted.
I thought he was dead. Hmmm?
pathetic also, name one russian film.
Talking about a man who married his step-daughter and had children by her......
Didn't he die? Hmmmm my bad. Guess it was just wishful thinking.
After Depardieu, looks like russia is a heaven for pedophiles.
He is still alive? He seemed really old in the 80’s.
Woody Allen is a serve whose films are overrated.
OF COURSE He Likes Russia!!! Being a Pedophile is a Status Symbol Over there!!!
Another reason to never watch another Woody Allen movie.
Epstiens friend woody allen… Who married his own adopted daughter … that woody allen. Imagine him trying to whitewash Russia…wonder why?
Maybe he meant Soviet cinema? Leonid Bykov, Borys Ivchenko, Alexander Dovzhenko..?
He's a piece of shit.
I was going with ‘odd little man’. But piece of shit works.
I never cared for him. WAAAAY TOO CREAPY
Pedophiles stick together.
He's going fill Gerard Depardieu with a splash of Steven Seagal. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...
He's very likely on the list.
I hope you and your loved ones are as safe as possible. Woody Allen is a troglodyte who should just f*ck off back to his little cave.
Woody is a suspected pedophile, he allegedly groomed then marries his own adopted daughter. IMO Woody is filth.
He can more easily indulge his deviant sexual behaviour in Russia. Having said that, with so many of America's politicians being pedo protectors, he could probably get away with it on home soil now.
I'm surprised he hasn't had a surge in popularity in the states now that the president is a sexual abuser and pedophile. You would think that someone that sleeps with his adoptive daughter would feel right at home in today's America.
Lol, mostly not in the parts where they make art. I feel like Woody's skill for dialogue might be tested if it's only written for Kevin Sorbo and Victoria Jackson.
He's 89. Does he need a career?
I think we can separate Russian art from what Putin is doing. I’ll keep my Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky and so many others, thank you.
Death of the author meets a new challenge
Wait no, really? Ugh
We’re fine if Putin wants to keep him. Maybe he can pal around with Steven Seagal.
Bombs bursting in air Are evil
I've never liked Woody Allen.
Pedophiles of a feather...
Maybe he is also a RUSSIAN ASSET...DONNY TWO DOLLS loved doing business in Moscow! Traitorous!!!!!
Well, considering his friendship with Epstein and the fact he married his adopted daughter, he's got to find friends in all the low places
Russia, where pedophiles go to strangle the remnants of their reputations.
It’s like the end of the movie about the female conductor Tár.
🎯
He’s still alive?
Russia seems to love a pedophile.
Maybe Woody wants a photo op with Putin, too?https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/trump-shows-off-photograph-putin-alaska-summit/story?id=124892306
I’ve watched some Russian movies in the past. They were all tediously long, like many Russian books. They could use good editing. Praying for the safety of Ukrainians.
Allen and his stepdaughter were frequent guests at Epstein’s. They even taught him to serve better food for his guests. Wonder what went on after their better meals?
I never saw the allure of him, never thought he was brilliant, now I just think he is a sad pathetic fool. 🤬
He's a pedophile. What else can we expect. I know it's difficult for people to take in these facts about pedophilia, but truly, these people are everywhere, and the children suffer. Believe your eyes. It's time to wake up.
Just like Ghiselaine.
Russia seems to be pedophile central.
He has always been sleazy and sketchy.
Woody Allen is really rather creepy. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_A...
Woody Allen is a pathetic husk of his former self, and I am surprised this gig was offered to him. He makes shitty movies now.
His next films leading man
He could just ....stay in Moscow ,
I like some Russian films a lot. But the Russian govt & its enablers can jump off a cliff, sooner the better.
You know he's a perv he married his adopted daughter
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Like he doesn’t have enough money. What a craven, disgusting little dipshit.
Another pedophile
I hate to break it to you, but he really has always loved Russian cinema. See his 1975 film, "Love and Death", which is a satire on Russian cinema. He's insensitive, but he's not lying.
Yep. I remember that as being very funny.
Who gives a shit. He shouldn't be going to Moscow as a propaganda coup for Putin
Since when is a man who married his stepdaughter a popular figure?
F*ck Woody.
He will always be a POS!!
he's just another PEDOPHILE.
Is he going to make movies with Steven Seagal and Gerard Depardieu?
Pedophiles gotta stick together! Kissing up to ole Vlad for his fellow pedo…
He’s always been a creep.
He's also an incestuous pedophile, so there's that. America is a weird place with so many protected pedophiles. Sheeshhhh.
Not surprising that a pedophile would want to go where he can indulge in his sadistic behavior.
I hope they keep him in Russia
Russians love pedophiles it would seem.
Is he on the list?
Predators stick together.
What to expect from a child sex abuser.....
That's the least of his sordid life...
This from a governor who claims Florida is a “free state”.
He's almost 90, its time he retired rather than turning out to prop up a facist regime.
Apparently sex offenders have a great affinity for Russia!
Happens when you’re accused of sexually abusing children
Woody was investigated by NY and Connecticut Social Services, with zero charges filed. The judge stated that Mia (scorned and humiliated) probably coached or influenced the children re: sexual abuse allegations, along with noting zero evidence to support the claims.
Ok in which case he just supports genocidal imperialists then 🤷♀️
History will not be kind to anyone supporting Putin. Or Trump. This would be too good to them.
You mean the thing about his stepdaughter ?
As you can see from the replies, several allegations over the years
And his adopted daughter, who was 6 when he likely molested her.
Not exactly. He left his girlfriend for her adopted daughter from a previous relationship. Their relationship likely started before she was of age in New York, though she denies it. Really gross, but the bigger issue is his adopted daughter (Dylan) accusing him of molesting her when she was 7.
He also adopted two daughters right after marrying Soon-Yi . . .
He also sexually abused his other daughter, Dylan
And … He was friends with Epstein and attended many dinner parties. Maybe even went to Torture Island. So … blackmail from the tapes? Who knows!?
Him and Depardieu will have stories to tell to each other.
Well he is a pedo piece of shit, and hasn't been relevant in decades
Honestly surprised it's not Israel. They welcome pedophiles over there.
Vomit 🤮
Perhaps Russians like pedophiles better...
I don’t expect much from Woody Allen. Ever.
have you ever even seen a russian movie
I thought he was dead
Almost
🤣😂💀😂🤣
Woody Allen is also a sexual predator. That kind of fits in with the creepy profile of Russian-loving Americans.
The only good thing to come out of this war is the amount of people we now know who are awful human beings. Same with taco and the u.s. truly awful human beings.
$$$, It's always personal.
Such a weird move that so many washed up actors pull!
He did play a Russian in "Love and Death"
I wonder if we'll see him on the front lines in Ukraine?
woddy allen hasn’t made a good movie since the carter adminstation.
Well, Putin does like to hang out with pedophiles, so it sorta makes sense.
I don't even pirate media or software from Russia.
Woody Allen is another POS pedophile who hasn’t been relevant in decades.
I think this is a smart move, from a PR standpoint. No one wants to work with a child f#cker, but a war criminal supporter? Hollywood's full of those!
Woody is a pedophile. This tracks.
Woody Allen is a terrible person and this is not new news to anyone.
Woody Allen is a known pedo. Connect the dots...
Another pedophile
He’s in the files. Has to be. Would track for his life.
They are okay with sex with young girls in Russia, as we know from Trump's kompromat. He'll be right at home.
Woody Allen hasn't been getting work since it came out that he groomed his adopted daughter and cheated on Mia Farrow with said adopted daughter once she turned 18. And then married her after he and Farrow Divorced.
Never liked the man, never will Loser
Woody is a Perv! Bet he’s on the Epstein’s list😡
Thank you for the information. All I can say in return is, “I frigging knew it”😡
Another pedophile
I enjoyed his work, though he had some stinkers later on. But, as a survivor of child sexual abuse, I no longer respected him or his work. He married one stepdaughter, assaulted another that no one believed. Russia can keep him.
Remember he also like them young😵💫😈another piece of💩
Not a good look Woodman. Who told you this was a good idea?
The guy who penned the line, "These pretzels are making me thirsty?"
He's a pedophile
His career went in the shitter when we learned he was fucking his daughter
Yeah now I learned too. That’s.. ugh
In the company of great men.
Woody Allen is the Jeffrey Epstein of Roman Polanskis.
Woody Allen is a genius who thought he was a piece of shit, so he became a piece of shit. He was a brilliant writer fifty years ago but had imposter syndrome so bad that he became abusive to everyone around him in every way possible. He thinks people don't get his jokes, but he's just not funny.
His misogyny/racism fits in nicely there. I was born and raised in NYC; one of the 1st things about his movies that pissed me off is almost complete absence of POC in his movies including street scenes. Do you know how hard it is to film NYC streets and have them be all white? It takes work.
Oh look, another pedophile.
He is there to feed his lust of young girls. He's a pedophile.
He's a washed up scumbag pedo, so Idt anyone will care if he decides to stay there
Came here to say he's a scumbag. You said it better.
Maybe Russia is Pedophiles haven.
I mean Russian cinema is definitely a thing but it’s not good optics when it makes you look like you’re trying to win the favor of a fellow Putin-obsessed pedophile
We don't like him either, Margo
Another pedo, I'm not surprised.
I haven't watched a single Woody Allen movie since he divorced his wife and married his adopted child. Really makes you wonder how close his ties to the Group Of Pedofiles
Woody Allen has always been a self centered little creep. Like calls to like
"...Old age is a shipwreck. So that nothing would be spared us, Marshal Pétain's old age would become identified with the shipwreck of France..." War Memoirs, Volume I, The Call (1940-1942) by Charles de Gaulle
Ukraine got his ex wife in stead. She is the better person. Russia can have the alleged abuser. bsky.app/profile/miaf...
Luckily she never married him.
Woody Allen is an Epstein pedo and should be Trump’s cell mate.
He is supporting artists, not Putin. There is a difference. we cannot lump all russians as evil, and anyone who goes to russia as an ally, that is not logical or reality
Woody Allen married his adopted daughter and probably raped his other children from around the age of four. He was funny and hip around the time I was born , but I'm old and so is his type. He's not embracing a culture, he's deflecting from his narcicistic perversion.
You are a pos.
Finding new ways to be deplorable I see.
Woody Allen has been over for some time.
This is what happens when you give him the 1977 Oscar instead of George Lucas 😡😡😡
Uh, let's not conflate cool space stories with directorial ability.
the Academy should've gave Diane Keaton the Oscar for Looking for Mr. Goodbar rather than Annie Hall.
Oh wow . They gave it to him instead of the guy who brought us Jedis and light swords ? Unfckngbelievable
Wait till you find out who convinced the academy that Shakespeare in love was better than saving private Ryan
No he didn’t
Not him but Harvey Weinstein rather, maybe off topic, but still a dirty bag
Weinstein is a scumbag of epic proportions
Honestly though I am so tired of these scumbags turning a blind eye to Russia's genocide. Allen is an example of the far lefts continuing infatuation with Russia and the USSR
Love soviet films and Russian films today are 100x deeper amd thus more entertaining than Hollywood You a bigot?
I thought it was the MAGA crowd that is enamored with Russia and pedophiles. Maybe it's all the extremists, on both sides, that accept help from Russia and are complicit in Pedophilia.
Are you too young and dont understand politics? Or are you from another country? Its not the left that are championing russia....
A man now married to his former daughter.
Don't forget the genocide in Gaza, they turn a blind eye to that too!
Wiody Allen is not a Leftist & the Left isn’t fascinated with him or Russia.
Wrong, dude. Just wrong.
Left? Woody Daughterfucking Allen is not a leftist even in your wildest fever dreams. He's a rich white capitalist who has been a Hollywood insider since the middle of last century.
I don't think it has anything to do with his politics. He's just been ostracized in the west for his alleged sexual abuse so not being a particularly moral guy he turns to the Russians who will take in anyone to undermine Ukraine and the west.
Umm...the...left? It's the right who has provided Putin the most succor. Absent a few outliers (I genuinely don't know what's wrong with Roger Waters), the left sees the regressive danger that Russia presents to the world. There's a reason Putin supports far right parties with the troll farms.
It isn't left v right. It never was. That's just a smoke screen. It has always been a handful of rich entitled scumbags against the rest of us.
Left? A rich, white, Upper East Side dwelling Hollywood director leftist?!?! Dunno...
And a pedophile.
On the list?
I doubt it. He just adopted his victim. He didn't need an outside source.
Latest since then, he's the biggest creep and not on my screen anymore. No surprise he loves Russia. There is usually more than one thing wrong with those creeps.
There is definitely a through-line
When lots of people say “leftist”, they actually mean “Jew”, and it doesn’t matter if we’re actually on the political left or not. Not sure if that’s the case here, but it’s the same when they say “elite”.
Oh! I was not aware of that implied association, thanks 🙏🏼
Trump ain't far left! FFS.
Remember the family from Texas that moved to Russia because Texas was “too woke”? They’re MAGAts. Husband was persuaded to join Russian army. And got 2 weeks training , then sent to front lines. Not leftists.
Yes they gave it to Annie Hall, because the academy was (and is) too in love with itself and insiders like Allen to honor something with popular appeal.
the first and only halfway decent woody allen movie.
Which basically means that you could read it that Diane Keaton carried the entire movie since she’s quite famous now still, and a director herself? Hmmm.
You mean a genius’s allegory about absolute power that is absolutely applicable to right now? Hmmm. Yeah more important now, certainly. Especially since his reward was eventually his wife’s daughter Now…are you beginning to see a pattern?
Ugh man that burns me
On top of that, not even bothering to nominate Gene Siskel's (RIP) favorite movie of all time.
Scumbags stick together….hes a PEDO too.
AUFKM🤬😳🤯💔💔💔
A lot of pedophiles flee to Russia
Maybe Mr Allen is on the Epstein client list - or in Ms Guiffre's memoir.
I would not be surprised to hear Woody Allen say such a thing. But, yes, I believe his movie career was that bad! I have never seen a movie of his that I liked! I gave up on him years ago.
Well Putin does have a thing for pedos!
Woody Allen is and always was a paedophile
and married his daughter!
I've been reprimanded for saying woody Allen is a paedophile am I wrong
Not wrong. Whoever said you were wrong should do their homework.
Or they’re a sex pest too
He’s always been disgusting. What a slimy weenie.
Well he shares a lot with trump
He's a worm. Following the worms. Just like Roger Waters, I guess. No heroes, for sure. Just creative. And pretty cynical.
Those files....
A paedophile 🤮
Looking forward to a future Woody Allen film starring Steven Seagal 😀 "Annie Hall II: Final Vengeance"
It’s a pedophile thing.
😠
I didn't expect much from the guy that married his adopted daughter, but jeez
Is he still around??
Pedophiles stick together
he has been somewhat of a persona non grata here in the U.S. since he carried on with and eventually married his step daughter, plus the other even more unsavory allegations toward another daughter. Still, what a horrible choice to participate in this film festival.
He's Jewish. They like people who bomb other people.
He’s a pedophile too what do you expect?
He is and always has been a narcissistic creep. More evidence.
Disappointment. Woody Allen, to collaborate with terrorist killers ...
Christ, he must be desparate, that’s the pits. I loved several of his earlier movies, what a degrading way to finish an already disgraced career.
He finally found a place to release his new film "Honey, I Fcked The Kids".
I think we could effectively write him off when he married his adopted daughter.
Absolutely!
Surprised he hasn't come out to support is fellow pedophile in the US.
I loved him a lifetime ago. Annie Hall is still one of my most favorite movies, mainly because I was in a relationship (and saw it with that guy) that was a few weeks away from ending. Art mirrored my life, and it was heartbreaking. Equally heartbreaking, Allen's fall. Russia? Russia, you idiot?
you think Woody is dealing with a full deck...I guess we will have to see if he comes back with a 8 x 10 glossy of him and putin
He is on the Epstein list.
Try to separate the art from the artist. There's some really vile people who've made brilliant art. I wouldn't put Woody Allen in that category because I'm not a fan, but I'm not going to stop listening to Beethoven because of Hitler. Woody's praising the filmmakers, not Putin's policies.
Beethoven? Wagner was more Hitler's style.
Oops, in a different reply I had mentioned both Wagner and Beethoven. My viewpoint has people's panties twisted so I'm following multiple conversations; sorry.
Naturally. Beethoven was only in there for being German and to be used in contrast to Wagner. But I love the music of both.
Exactly. This is like saying all American cinema is fascist garbage because Trump is leading the US right now. Cinema can be ABOUT politics, Cinema is NOT politics, and creators are not a mirror of their leaders. Not all Russians support Putin, just as all Americans do not support Trump.
...and don't get me started on writers. Pretty much all the best ones had really significant ISSUES.
Bingo. Richard Wagner, Walt Disney, Henry Ford, Jimmy Page are other examples of a seemingly endless list of people who made good shit but had extremely problematic views and/or loathsome acts going on.
But then, so are a lot of political figures, and we ELECT them. Soooo....yeah. At least worth art vs artist the argument can be made that their problematic views haven't seeped into the art. Can't do that with politics.
Notable problem artists in know of; Picasso, Caravaggio, Francis Bacon, Gaughan, Shakespeare, Vegas, Elvis, Sinatra, Dahli, Roald Dahl....if we dig, looooooot of historical art figures are very problematic.
That's precisely my point, thank you for getting it. I didn't think I was making a particularly complex one, but you'd be surprised how many people can't seem to grasp a simple concept.
Not surprised at all honestly. I have a big write up saved on the topic because I fight this fight vehemently. I'm actually really just glad to see someone else screaming this from the rooftop! Made my day in a way.
I literally was just offering advice to separate the art from the artist to enjoy the art, and somehow that got convoluted into defending Nazis. No shit, that really happened in a recent conversation with someone trying to start an argument where there wasn't any argument to start with.
Wow. Yeah some people are wild and really try hard to twist/put words in others mouths just to fight. I think some are just so used to animosity that that's all they see.
Yes and then they flee the conversation once they realize they're losing the argument they manufactured and I won't back down from confrontation. Probably blocking or muting or whatever along the way as if I'm supposed to even remotely care in the slightest. I'm here for a dialogue, not a diatribe.
GOD yes. The world needs more of this mentality. The amount of middle ground that could be reached if people would drop ego for genuine discourse.
I'm starting to become convinced that some people start each day looking for something to get pissed off about and/or offended by (preferably both) and spend the whole day in search, and go to bed feeling unfulfilled if they haven't achieved that goal. Fuck those people.
With all due respect, and as an artist myself, i don’t really believe in separating art from politics .
That's fine, but it severely limits what you allow yourself to experience and appreciate. I can't imagine watching a movie and deciding whether it's good or not based solely upon the politics of each person involved. If that's the only criteria, I don't even need to watch the movie to rate it.
So. Leni Riefenstahl. Should we separate her art from her politics? After all, she created works that on a technical level are beautiful? Or should we recognize that she was a Nazi, and that taints everything about her work, even the non-propaganda work?
You better not up Hitler Beethoven for some reason, as if Hitler time traveled into the past and influenced Beethoven to be a Nazi. I mean at least Wagner just misses Hitlers lifespan by a year and was much more influential in creating the German Supremacist identity that would lead to Nazis.
The politics of a work are often the reason a work exists. Fortunate Son by CCR doesn't have the staying power because it is a good song, but because the political critique it is making is still valid to this day. Art is never free of politic. Art allows us to see the world through different eyes.
That shift in perspective influenced us, and if we don't critically examine all aspects of it, we risk being influenced into destructive worldviews. This is even more true when the artist is still alive and their beliefs and alignments are still relevant.
Maybe for some. Personally I can enjoy a piece of art without it influencing my worldview or behavior even a smidgen. If it turns out Humphrey Bogart ate live babies I wouldn't start saying Casablanca sucks, nor would I begin to search out the nearest infant as a snack. Same applies to other art.
Often, yet not always. Walt Disney was a raving anti-Semite, but that doesn't mean I refuse to recognize Fantasia as a great piece of asskickery. Fortune Son is a great song, and would probably still be damn fine with lyrics. If you like Led Zeppelin and have read the lyrics, you know what I mean.
You know, your Disney comments explain a lot. You don't examine information critically.
Should I hate everything Disney ever produced because I now recognize he was a turd of a person? John Fogerty is such an asshole that even in a milieu filled with notorious assholery he's been singled out multiple times. Fortunate Son is one of the best songs ever written. Both things are true.
I was pointing out your information on Disney was wrong, you just believe the first thing you read.
If you want to appreciate her art, yes you'd have a much easier time doing so by ignoring her benefactors. Also, we're unaware of the context. Did she produce propaganda because she believed in the cause, or because she knew Nazis react poorly to refusal so her other option was death?
Are you really trying to defend Leni Riefenstahl? Seriously? Dude, I am going to assume you know nothing about her and suggest you go read up on her, then come back here and continue this conversation.
I'm not defending her at all; I'm not even a fan (nor am I of Woody Allen). Her stuff is fine, above average but not super notable for my tastes. I was saying I wasn't there, and even if I had been and did know everything it wouldn't change whether I think a photograph looks good or not.
Tell me who you think Leni Riefenstahl is? I don't think you actually know.
Mostly notable for photography regarding art, did some acting, the song and dance stuff everybody did back then, again not much worth remembering for my tastes. But no, I've never read her biography or whatever because I don't make the habit of doing deep research on people I'm not interested in.
Eh, most people would say she is most known for her close relationship with Goebbels and Hitler. Something you seem to be dancing around. You also got her artistic creds wrong, and completely left off her filmography.
Exactly!
Wow, you really came out to defend a pedo that you’re not even a fan of? That’s pretty fucking gross
I don't know how you see that as a defense. Am I supposed to somehow be gravely offended that someone getting paid to go to a Russian cinema festival said they like Russian cinema?
Nope, just pointing out there's nothing wrong with him liking Russian cinema.
Yeah, that’s defending him. How do y’all not see that?
Just another pedo..
Well yes, Russia loves child predators.
Steven Segal will be performing for him.
He lost me when he had an affair with his adopted daughter
up until a few years ago, has-beens would often "Find Jesus Christ!" when nobody else would talk to them. Now, they all just seem to Find Russia, instead...? 🤔🤷♂️
“The first is just how many people in it—family, friends, neighbors, babysitters, ex-lovers—freely testify to Woody Allen’s unhealthy interest in young girls, including his own adopted daughter, Dylan.” www.kqed.org/arts/1389280...
Woody Allen is a pedophile just like Noam Chomsky and they are both in the Epstein files.
Fuck Woody
But he directed Annie Hall....
Scumbags gonna scumbag 🤷🏻♀️
Well it is Woody Allen after all!
