Don't let anyone kid you about the losses ...

From the very first moments of the scandal breaking about Woody Allen's sexual abuse of Dylan Farrow, his lawyers were making clear that Woody was suffering "a hit" on his movies. That meant financial losses for him and all of the lawyers he was supporting.

It's very interesting now to watch Allen's attempts once again to try to suggest that Dylan is engaged in "fantasy" -- that children are incapable of actually remembering what has happened to them... That Mia was "crazy" ... And these things just don't work any more BECAUSE the American public has woken up to reality. From here we are going into coverage of trafficking of children and adult women and young males.

Amazon Studios = major Woody Allen enabler.

People pretend to be scandalised but they won’t boycott Hollywood and all the pedo directors and movies. If people truly cared they wouldn’t pay to see this shit in cinema but they do, truly disgusting.
Will we actually ever have a revolution?¿ at this point I doubt it.

Agree -- but there are very limited theaters now vs times when people went to the movies TWICE a day if they could.

We also see that Comcast and Verizon monopolies over cable and the profits that they make from pornography -- which is basically a propaganda industry to debase and degrade women and to make them only worthy of violence against them -- are making BILLIONS AND BILLIONS from porn. They're also trying to move it into mainstream programming.

I've also noticed that it's also working the other way ... Movies are now trying to compete with the porn being produced -- and certainly they are emboldened in regard to showing violence against women.

Don't be discouraged because people are pulling away from this industry. Movie going is at a 24 year low, and the crap movies that they think will make them big bucks are bombing. At least it's a move in the right direction and we need to keep it going!

Actually, I have no intention of ever watching any Woody Allen movie again. Just the thought of doing that is revolting to me.

@Votescam has said she's going to boycott Woody Allen's movies (good on ya, Votescam!)

Melissa Siverstein of The Guardian has said she's not going to watch, or review, Woody Allen's movies any more:

That's why the studio allowed Ridley Scott to delete Kevin Spacey from the All the Money in the World movie. They know people will not go to a movie when the actor has been in the news about something really disgusting like pedophilia.

The one thing that will get studio suits to take action is a threat to the bottom line.

Thank you! :)

They doth protest too much.

Think W Allen 'procured' kids for any of this leading stars?

There seems to be a lot of virtue signalling from these celebrities who were happy to take the money. Are they saying that they have uncovered something about Woody Allen other than the Dylan allegation (in which case they should reveal it), or are they just joining the #metoo bandwagon (and therefore virtue signalling)?

Haven't watched a Woody Allen movie ever...and I am a movie buff.

Evidently his new movie is being received as something rather extraordinary. Woody's best days are behind him. Because of financial interests, Hollywood will likely continue to support him. But one by one, I think conscience will cause many to drop out.

Noticed today an article re Matt Damon who suggests he's with "Me too" but will take a back seat now as his views weren't well received. Somehow, I think Matt Damon will be back with more dumb views but we should be nice to him -- he has five daughters and a wife who one day soon should be waking him up.

Questionable relationships, however, with Weinstein, Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck.

He didn't mention that ... but if he sticks with them it's not going to work out well.

Same. I think I've only seen clips and I've always found him irritating in them.

I was trying to watch a movie the other day that didn't have some pervert in it & that is becoming difficult. I'll stick to documentaries.

Just the covers of his movies make you want to find a church asap
