5. Woody Allen is a no go for me

I just can't view his films the same way, especially Manhattan, where we're supposed to believe that 17 year old Marielle Hemingway was in love with him at 44. It was funny and believeable to me when it first came out because I was 22, in college, and had friends who had affairs with their instructors.

Now I see it for the icky power play it is, especially since Marielle came forward and said Woody wanted her to go to Paris with them and she had the smarts to ask if they would have seperate rooms. He didn't answer, and her parents still wanted her to go! For her career, you know ...

So I'm done with Woody and Roman Polanski, as well as any parent who pimps out their child for the sake of their CHILD'S career.
