Following the revocation of Weinstein's membership from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences over the weekend, the American writer/director told BBC News: "No one ever came to me or told me horror stories with any real seriousness. And they wouldn't, because you are not interested in it. You are interested in making your movie."

Admitting he has heard "a million fanciful rumors" over the years, the Manhattan filmmaker added that "some turn out to be true and some—many—are just stories about this actress, or that actor."

My avatar shows the national debt in stacks of $100 bills.  If you look very closely under the crane you can see the Statue of Liberty.

Isn't this like Pol Pot being asked what he thought about Hitler killing all the Jews?

At least Woody was willing to make a commitment, right?

I think Woody may have been aiming his remarks at son Ronan, who elects to use his mother's surname "Farrow."

Ronan Farrow, the zealous investigative reporter, that finally got the Harvey Weinstein story published in The New Yorker.

Just noticed this article is from Marie Claire. Last time I saw one of those, two junkies were using it to cut their heroin on by a dumpster behind a Chinese restaurant.

Witch hunts are useless because real witches don't exist. On the other hand, child molesters and abusers of women are all too real.

As Mr. Allen has every reason to know.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
