Had he not been Woody Allen he would likely have gone to prison. I haven’t seen a movie of his since.

For instance, I wouldn’t buy a book by O.J., Kim Jong-il, or Snooki no matter how great the reviews were. I’m not a judgmental person by nature and have worked with child molesters, murderers, and gang bangers, but that doesn’t mean I’d support them monetarily if they wrote books. I have mixed feelings about Woody and am not sure if I’d buy a book by him or not–but I haven’t so far.

With all due respect, I thought Match Point was just a rehash of Crimes and Misdemeanors. But the Soon Yi business still creeps me out, too, no matter how long it’s been.

Just as an FYI: when I first saw the title of your post I thought someone had written a lovely obituary for my cat who last month met his untimely demise because he could never give up his wandering ways, though he wasn’t much of a filmmaker. RIP Woody Cat.
