See and this is why I responded, because this type of thinking leads to exactly this situation. Where you, a stranger on the internet, are claiming I wasn’t a “true” alcoholic. Because I don’t fit some kind of mold that you’re used to. Based on very little information about me. And can you see how this type of Read more

Does she not have every right to “shun” her abusive father, regardless of his mental health status...? Read more

My (ex) wife was, and I’m assuming still is, in complete denial about her struggles with mental health. She was diagnosed as bi-polar 20 years ago but has rarely taken it seriously and has had many near death experiences as a result. Drinking, drugs and partying until dawn are a regular occurrence, even though she Read more

He has a very long history of raising money but with no real documentation of where it goes. He raises money with the promise of starting specific ventures that never come to fruition and the money does not get returned to those who donated. And black women activists have long criticized him for stealing and profiting Read more

Shaun King’s response to her complaints was is particularly horrible. Read more

Shaun King is nothing but a grifter. I’m glad these women are speaking up!  Read more

Thank you. I cannot imagine what these families must feel seeing t-shirts and stickers and all of the media stuff. Read more

Good for them. Say their names, I get it. But if the people and the ones that loved them get shouted down then the ship needs to be righted. Read more

And it is seldom remembered that the palace (ie: the queen) took away Diana’s HRH status, and thus much of her security detail, in what can only be described as petty and mean-spirited. Diana took up with a man far wealthier than her former husband probably believing she’d be protected by all that wealth. Instead she Read more

You just sent me down a 3+ hour wormhole of Orson Welles interviews. Time well spent.  Read more

What’s muddy about it? He fucked his children’s sister. That was Dylan’s—his own daughter’s—sister. I’m not sure how you can talk about this family dynamic without talking about that, I’m not sure how you can talk about Dylan’s relationship with Woody without talking about that, and I’m not sure how you can talk Read more

Also, Allen’s movies are boring, contrite, overwrought, and pedantic. I have no idea why everybody puts him on his pedestal. Read more

Yup. There was a family photo in the documentary where Soon-Yi was wearing an oversized t-shirt and shorts. She looks like a child. She dressed like a child. She was a child. Read more

He even made a film where he was married to Mia Farrow and was cheating on her with a student (played by teenaged Juliette Lewis). He wrote it and filmed it while he was fucking Farrow’s teenaged daughter behind her back. Read more

The comment about “Woody Allen the steamroller” (as opposed to the public image of Allen as a neurotic) reminds me of how Orson Welles absolutely pegged him for what he always was decades ago. Read more

Does the series touch on the fact that Allen tells us repeatedly, in film after film, who he is? How many movies has he made now about a young, barely legal woman getting ensnared by a creepy old man (often played by Allen himself)? Read more
