Ah jesus

However, the ordeal has cast a long shadow. During her time making TV show Angel, on which she appeared from 1999 to 2004, Carpenter would set off for work under cover of darkness. ‘I’d go to work at 4am and would have to leave my house to get to my car in the middle of the night,’ she explains. ‘I’d have to talk myself down from the panic that would set in that came from thinking someone would attack me. ‘It would be impossible to have an experience like that and for it not to leave long-lasting impressions. It’s like if you’re a pedestrian and a car swerves off the road and hits you. It doesn’t mean you never walk along a street again but you’re more aware and alert.’

She’s not alone. A few years ago a cast member of Riverdale was seriously injured in a car accident when he fell asleep at the wheel. The cast had been asking for drivers to pick them up and drop them off because they were on set from like 5 AM until 9 PM.

Age wise, saying she was 20 instead of 21 doesn't mean anything. The relationship is hosed up for contextual reasons, I don't see how that difference makes it more gross or less gross, it's the same amount of gross.

The primary reason for the disagreement about the dates is:

I mean...that's kind of my point. That they ignore or blanket deny the things with the most convincing evidence, even if it doesn't change much.

(That said, I don't exactly blame Mia for trying to get the adoptions invalidated, especially since it DOES look like she was right about the timeline.)

It did gently caress him up when it happened, but a) "technically legal" matters to a lot of people b) something being a media shitstorm in the early 90s is totally different than a media shitstorm in the 2020s c) the fact that he remained in that relationship and that she defends him and her own autonomy means that as time goes on it's easier to go "eh, maybe it wasn't so bad."

Looking at Wikipedia to refresh my memory, and I had no recollection of there being 2 separate accusers back in 2004. When I was younger and dumber, I remember being under the impression that he had been exonerated in some very convincing way, but that doesn't appear to be the case. But I also have this memory of him falling off the face of the earth while fighting the charges and then reappearing not long before he was cast on Law & Order even though it looks like he worked continuously the whole time.

At any rate, it seems like he's someone where the follow-up reporting was lacking and so everyone forgot about it? That seems to be a common thread for a lot of celebrity sexual misconduct cases that already had public elements but then got forgotten about.

More to do with him only playing Nobu when there wasn't a mask or martial arts involved. Which was like 10% of the characters screen time. The producers definitely oversold the role to him and his agent.

They also explained this (in less detail) on the episode that aired last night, part 3 of 4. For those who haven't read the article or seen the episode, it would appear that the bulk of the "new" documents were in the storage area of a law office. (They don't name the lawyer in question, which makes me wonder if it's Alan Dershowitz.) There weren't any details about how contact was made, but my assumption is that it was one of Mia's lawyers, she had never seen the bulk of the docs but was legally entitled to them as the client, and she got them for the documentary crew, not necessarily realizing just how much previously unreported information was in there.

One of the really striking things to me about last night's episode, though, was how much archival footage they had of (mostly local) news coverage of everything with Paul Williams, the NYC child welfare investigator on the case. He believed Dylan and advised his superiors that Allen needed to be charged. Then the case got stalled, he got fired, he sued to get his job back and won, and his supervisor quit, telling the documentarians that after the Allen case she felt like she was discriminating against minority families because of the disparity to what happened to Allen. But here's the thing: All but that last part were public. They even had a clip of Williams telling a TV camera something like "I can't talk about it, but I believe the little girl." This is a thing that was all over the news at the time and everyone just forgot and/or didn't do enough research, especially since Allen has repeatedly claimed that the NYC investigation "cleared" him.

I think he can hear you, Ray.
There's some pretty damning stuff in there, and the Paul Williams story deserves to be heard more (and thankfully more people are now talking about it) but I do wish the documentary was better made. Anything talking about this movies and stuff is a little questionable in parts and outright wrong in others.

Film critics talking about how Allen 'normalised' these kinds of relationships through his movies to the American public as though half the nation was rolling out to see INTERIORS. Or most recently the amazing claim that his movies were bringing so much money to New York that Dinkins was just a phone call away to Allen like he's putting everything on hold for the Director of ZELIG. It feels like it wants to portray Allen as some Tinseltown power player at times but it feels sloppy.

I heard it mentioned offhand when people were talking about that trainwreck of a movie. The problem is that there's not much of a point to it. Awareness only matters if the targets or the potential future audience are capable of feeling shame. Given all the other dumb edgy stuff they did for the movie they'd probably love the "cancel culture" attention anyway.

I mean...someone clearly tried to shut down Williams' investigation, though, to the degree that they succeeded in doing it. Maybe they went a tad too far with the Dinkins connection, but the underlying sentiment is in line with the evidence presented.

I also don't know if "the director of Zelig" is a fair representation of the influence he had during the height of his career, though Zelig was extremely well-received. Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Hannah and Her Sisters were all fairly major hits, not to mention his earlier comedies, and even into the 90s he was still highly regarded. As recently as 2011 he had decent success with Midnight in Paris (Ebert called Allen a "treasure of the cinema" in his review).

The gently caress is this poo poo? How old are you? Woody Allen was one of the most well known, influential, and well connected directors for decades. Yeah his star has faded in modern times because of the whole marrying his daughter thing, but that dude was absolutely a power player for a long time.

As mentioned earlier a lot of his material deals with the kind of person he is and the kinds of relationships he has.

I mean, "death of the author" and all that, with artists like Woody Allen it's kind of hard to separate the man from his work because it's all written in his voice or else he's literally the star of the movie. You can ignore Roman Polanski's connection to Chinatown or Rosemary's Baby and just enjoy the films on their own merits, but it's kind of hard to ignore Woody Allen's ties to Annie Hall when he's right there on screen and you're wanting to punch him. Same for the first two seasons of Ren & Stimpy (the "good ones"). That's John K's voice and his personal demons laid bare on screen, if you laugh at his jokes you're laughing with a child predator. I mean maybe you can look past it, I personally can't.
