Bill Cosby . . . a Rapist????

he he, well i dunno about that. i dunno why  i haven't seen Annie Hall yet to be honest. for me the only reason to watch any of his films is he knows how to cast a film i will give him that. but the material isn't always good sadly. but like i said to each their own for those who like it. Scarlet Johanson which i spelled wrong, i think was the actress i was thinking about when i said that film was filmed in Paris. i'll have to look it up. he's not in it though and that i think helped.

legally and morally Cosby is the worse offender but both of them were morally wrong. The Allen's actions were legal and lesser in scale is beside the point

If you were married to a woman who had adopted children who you knew and had a relationship of some kind with would you date one of them?

Jim H- Mia Farrow might disagree. As I recall she had a lot to say on the issue and it wasn't pretty.

Both men were married to women their own age it's not like they are socially inept to the point where they had to do this stuff.

WOODY ALLEN was never married to MIA FARROW.  

Woody was great up until ANNIE HALL but after that he's pretty spotty.

I think he only got better.

i can take his films or leave them. but i do think he's way over rated to be honest. when i see him in a role it always feels like he's playing the same character to be honest.

He is playing the same character. So were Groucho Marx, W.C. Fields, Mae West, etc.

Agreed.  Acting would fall down the list of his accomplishments below writer, director, comedian...

yes i do agree the marx brothers did play the same characters and they even had lesser films as well to be fair. but the marx bros. i have actually laughed at and i think they are funny. i'm sure i have laughed a few times that woody allen did in his films. but it would be nice if he played a different character instead of doing the same one. and i don't think he's a bad actor either. actors who want to play different roles i can respect that because it's them wanting to try different things. you see Certain actors who play the same roles it's them just accepting being typecast and most actors don't want to be type cast. yes Peter Cushing, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff were typecast as horror actors they all accepted that but they also did a slew of other films where they did various types of roles.

they also loved making horror films as well and loved the work as well. with woody Allen yes he's done different genre's but it'd be nice to see him play as a Serial Killer and not as his normal character. kinda like when Robin Williams played one and i have no idea how well he played or even if the film was good cause that's one i actually haven't seen of his to be fair. my point Robin Williams  tried something different than playing the same character. but that's just my opinion i dunno about anyone else though

blah blah blah blah

[RCMerchant]

And Bill Cosby is a rapist.
Am I on the wrong thread?

Being its turned into a Woody Allen thread-I hate his movies.
They just bore the s**t out of me.

As for Cosby-dam-he may not have done them all-but he did enough.
Of course thats just my opinion.

[indianasmith]

Right on both counts, Ronnie!

sorry about that
