Yes, he is correct, women should run from Woody Allen projects....but hasn't he produced his sexist crap himself from "Knocked Up," to Lens' "Girls"?

Ellen Page wrote on Facebook that she is embarrassed to have ever been in one of his movies. It is a big regret.

Susan Anspach said something about the fact he expected to have affairs with his leading ladies - but that she wasn't playing.

He thinks he's above the scrutiny being hurled at others. No surprise. I read an interview with him and they asked him about the whole Soon-Yi/Mia business and he just came across as so smug and self satisfied about the whole thing.

Judd, this is not a good fall for hypocrite.

Thanks for the tips, Lena! Love, Woody

"‘As she grew, I took to bribing her time and affection: one dollar in quarters if I could do her makeup like a “motorcycle chick.” Three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds. Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she would just “relax on me.” Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying.’ "

I think Kate Winslet met her first serious boyfriend when she was 15 and he was 28? She even said she was afraid to tell her parents but that they were fine with it. Soooo...there’s that.

People actually might avoid him after this.

by Anonymousreply 18November 12, 2017 5:25 PM

His story has been hashed out in public many times over, and while pretty much everyone agrees that what he did was inappropriate, not everyone agrees on what actually happened. In the meantime, people who've worked with him, like Cate Blanchett, have won Academy Awards. Look at all the people who piled on Harvey Weinstein lately, who held their nose and worked with him anyway because he put them in important projects. Actors want good roles so badly that they put with all sort of shit to get ahead: that's why the predators continue to do what they do.

There is this part of me who really wants something to come out on Judd Apatow. He is just so smug in this bullshit, even when he's right.

by Anonymousreply 20November 12, 2017 5:39 PM

Allen still works because he has conned liberals into accepting him as an 'intellectual American auteur'. He is a ghastly pseudo and his work has shown no flare or wit or charm since the late 70s, and he can certainly be discounted as having anything of any moral weight to share with audiences.

by Anonymousreply 21November 12, 2017 5:46 PM

Judd Apatow is another fake male feminist. He says certain shit to get praised by women. He is probably hiding a lot of secrets about the actors that he has repeatably worked with.

He employed Louis CK and Andrew Dice Clay on Blue Jasmine. He's a fucking cunt who likes to taunt people with his lack of morality.

It's all too public now. I don't think people will want to work with Woody Allen and the subject of his latest movie certainly does not help.

by Anonymousreply 24November 12, 2017 5:50 PM

Based on his movies (have not seen him interviewed), which seem to glorify the douche-bro frat-boy ethos, Apatow's comments don't ring true to me.

by Anonymousreply 25November 12, 2017 6:01 PM

Apatow is masquerading as a feminist to get chicks. It's clever strategy and piggish men have been using it since the 1960.

Just ask Joss Whedon's ex-wife. Btw, Hollywood has billions riding on Whedon and shut his scandal down quickly. I'd love to see renewed attention to his activities.

Judd Apatow is very smug can't stand him of his shitty movies. When is he finally going to be taken down? He always sticks his nose into everyone's sex scandals and pick at them. I also think he's a racist as well. Something dosent smell right about Judd. His day is coming. Because he's definitely not perfect. Not even close.

Agreed, 100%, R25!

Susan Anspach, R7! That’s a name I hadn’t heard in years! I didn’t know she’d said anything about Woody Allen. She worked with him at the time he was involved with Diane Keaton, so I don’t know what to make of her comments.

by Anonymousreply 29November 12, 2017 6:52 PM

R28 Apatow will be harder to be take down because he has played up his phony feminist act for several years and many female movie fans have bought into it because he produced Bridesmaids, Trainwreck, and several other female led comedy movies. He's a smug asshole.

Apatow slammed Bill Cosby and a lot of people praised him for it. But, he only slammed Cosby months after the dozens women came forward with their stories. It seemed liked Apatow only made the statement for attention and praise.

Whedon is another douche that is hard to take down. As another poster said Hollywood managed to shut down the ex-wife stuff pretty quickly. There's definetely more to him and there are stories of him treating actresses on Buffy and Angel like shit.

This gay guy recommends honesty. But also knows that power and deception work on men and women equally.

You've never seen a straight guy join the drama club, or even go so far as to hang in a gay bar to pick up chicks looking for "sensitive" men?

Learn more about the lengths that "male feminists" will go to to get and abuse women.

r40 it doesn't work. Women think of male feminists as one of the girls. They don't want to fuck them. The fact that Joss Whedon or whatever wealthy male feminist gets women has nothing to do with their feminism, but their money and connections. I don't trust male feminists by the way. Their amateur tactics amuse me more than anything.

Not sure why Judd is placing the onus of turning down this work just on women. Everyone in Hollywood should boycott the fucker. It's okay if MEN continue to work with him?

I don’t think any actress has ever complained about her treatment on a Woody Allen set or ever complained about being sexually harassed by Woody Allen. So what’s all this about? Links please.

Just a bunch of nobodies seeking moral superiority over ambiguous events that happened decades ago. If Mia and the prosecutor thought they had a case, they should’ve brought it. Instead they just keep on unfairly and immorally claiming his guilt over and over. So tiresome.

by Anonymousreply 53December 3, 2017 4:48 PM

Ellen Page has every right to be embarrassed about the film she did with Woody Allen - it was terrible and she was terrible in it. Lucky for her, few people have seen it. She ought to learn to live her own life a little more honesty instead of blaming people after the fact for decisions she was perfectly capable of making. Oh the pressure! Forcing her to make one terrible career decision after another! Must be awful. Who will she blame for the Flatliners remake?!

THIS is the attitude that inspires so many successful Hollywood types to turn into predators. Their victims are "nobodies." Their fixed belief is that rich, successful, powerful people are ENTITLED to rape and assault with impunity because their victims don't matter.

I hate to say it but I had a lesbian acquaintance who used to cruise yoga and meditation retreats in order to hit on the "straight" women who were open and "fluid" in such environments. One leader of one group banned her from ever attending again because she recognized the fact this women was using the group like her own "dating" pool.

So assholes do recognize how to bait women using their sensitivities and need for support and nurturing against them. Pretty vile.

by Anonymousreply 56December 3, 2017 5:00 PM

Don’t be so tiresome, R55. That isn’t what’s happening here. No one has ever accused Woody Allen of being a predator. If anything, Mia is the predator - she’s been preying on him for decades with her unproven, unprosrcuted allegations against Allen, brainwashing his own children against him. It’s so fucking tiresome and a perfect example of using false allegations to harm others. Mia is batshit crazy when it comes to Woody Allen.

Well... I recall reading a comment on DL regarding Woody Allen being beaten up/running away from a New York high school , where he was eaiting for his "girlfriend", eho was a STUDENT during the 70's. I believe it was during the time he was filming a movie in which Mariel Hemingway was co-starring (if I temember correctly, she was also underage at the time). There have been many rumors about Woody perving on underage girlls, r55 ( or should I call you Mr. Allen...?).
