Participating in that Moscow Film event was unfortunate, particularly in the sense of bad publicity. Although I have never heard of a 'cultural boycott' going on concerning Russia, and LOTS of USA movies have been released in Russia in 2023-2024-2025. No one complained about that, did they.
This summer's BALLERINA (2025) was the first Hollywood movie to be released in Russia since the second invasion of Ukraine You're not very well informed, Else Do you know about Allen's friendship with post-pedo-rape conviction Epstein? variety.com/2025/film/gl...
You can see for yourself how many USA made movies have been released to Russian theatres in the more than two years since Russia invaded Ukraine. www.boxofficemojo.com By the way, do you know there's ZERO verifiable evidence of any 'friendship with Epstein'? You're not very well informed, Logatex.
What's the box office mojo link supposed to show? Sure, WA never hung out with noted pedo-rapist Epstein. This letter is fake right, and that photo a coincidence? Allen has no issue with pedo-rapists Do you? www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...
That Box Office Mojo link can show you how many, many US-made movies have been released to Russian theaters post-invasion in Ukraine. Rendering any idea of a 'cultural boycott' absurd, and blame put on Woody Allen for 'breaking' it (by having an online talk with movie aficionados) hypocritical.
All independent US movies, not by major Hollywood studios Hence the story in Variety from June this year variety.com/2025/film/gl...
Incorrect. Take that first movie, 'John Wick 4' with Keanu Reeves. Produced and distributed by *Lionsgate*, the very same production company that gave us your 'Ballerina'.
I wrote 'verifiable evidence'. That alleged 'letter' is no 'verifiable evidence'. The NY Times refuses to disclose its source, and no researcher has been allowed to authenticate that 'letter' which its weird contents, its many spelling errors, and lack of paragraphing.
As for your concern about the letter, why are spelling errors & lack of paragraphs odd, given WA - as a fan, you should know this - uses a typewriter he bought when he was 16 Seems you're not much of fan, just interested in denying he was friends with a convicted pedo-rapist, which even he admits
The only photo with Epstein and Allen in the same frame has them walking 20 feet apart without any visible contact. It was taken by a professional, paparazzo Elder Ordonez, who claims copyright. As Epstein is constantly looking Ordonez in the eye, it is likely that Epstein hired him.
Or Epstein spotted him, hence the lack of a smile But you keep stanning for the friend of convicted pedo-rapist
You keep claiming some imagined 'friendship' for which no material, verifiable evidence exists; while the available evidence points to the absence of any such 'friendship'. You *do* know that everyone and their sister is trying to smear disliked people by associating them with Epstein, don't you?
Of course, it could be a matter of pure chance that a well-known paparazzo-for-hire happens to have set up a 'burst shot' for no particular reason along the route of Woody's and Soon-Yi's daily stroll to their restaurant, while a famous, avid photo collector just happened to have casually walked by.
If this only known photo with Epstein and Allen in the same frame, this 'burst shot' taken by a hired paparazzo *proves anything*, it is that Epstein could not get a photo of him and Allen in any other way. So far for their 'friendship' and 'frequent contacts'.
How about this story from 2023? Despite Epstein being a convicted pedo-rapist, WA - accused of CSA by two of his kids - didn't see that as a barrier to friendship and repeated contact But you keep stanning for him, Else - it's a strong look! www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epst...
And in case you don't read the story, a spokesman for WA didn't deny it Your guy liked hanging out with a convicted pedo-rapist Own it
Oh, and here's WA himself talking about his friendship with a convicted pedo-rapist, and stating that the photo - which you dismiss - was taken after leaving the pedo-rapist's house Sure seems like WA doesn't think raping children is much of a character flaw www.showbiz411.com/2024/04/17/e...
Take a deep dive in the credibility of 'journalist' Roger Friedman. Fired at Fox. Sacked at The Hollywood Reporter. Now a gossip blogger. Need I say more? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_F...
Please name that 'spokesman'. You can't. Because @DaveCBenoit and @KhadeejaSafdar 'forgot' to name the 'spokesman'. And won't respond to questions. Try for yourself if you like. No 'Woody spokesman' has come to the fore to confirm the WJS's unverifiable claim. Don't tell me you're gullible.
After two long years, the Wall Street Journal has not disclosed a single 'document' or 'calendar' they claim to have in their possession. NO ONE, including you, can read, inspect, authenticate said 'materials'. 'Journalists' @DaveCBenoit and @Khadeejasafdar never respond to requests. 'Nuff said.
Why do they need to disclose anything, when WA himself has admitted he was friends with the convicted pedo-rapist? 1/2 www.showbiz411.com/2024/04/17/e...
And another quote from WA Your guy clearly enjoyed hanging out with a convicted pedo-rapist Seems odd, to me 2/2 www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epst...
Remaining factual and honoring verifiable facts is indeed a 'strong look'. As opposed to being uncritical, gullible, and susceptible to audience manipulation. I'm sure we agree on that.
Sure, except WA is quoted on the record has having attended multiple events at Epstein's home And you, whose hobby is defending WA, don't even know that! Wonder what else you're missing?

I kinda think it’s unfortunate to legitimize a regime that rapes children and beheads POWs in democratic Ukraine, but you do you.
I kinda think it dishonest to claim someone 'legitimizes' a regime when he has literally and vehemently condemned that regime's actions, but you do you.
