Woody Allen arrives at the Venice International Film Festival in Venice, Italy, Sept. 3, 2023. PHOTO: ETTORE FERRARI/
In August 2017, a year after Prime Video aired Woody Allen’s comic miniseries “Crisis in Six Scenes,” the director signed a deal with Amazon Studios to produce his next four films for a reported minimum payment of $68 million. A few weeks later, allegations of sexual misconduct against Harvey Weinstein emerged and the #MeToo movement was born. In December, Mr. Allen’s adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, published an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times with the headline “Why Has the #MeToo Revolution Spared Woody Allen?”
Mr. Allen wasn’t spared much longer. Ms. Farrow’s op-ed accused Mr. Allen of molesting her in 1992, when she was 7—a charge that her mother, Mia Farrow, had raised at the time in a custody dispute with Mr. Allen. Authorities in two states thoroughly investigated, and no charges were filed against Mr. Allen. Child-abuse investigators at Yale-New Haven hospital reported that “it is our expert opinion that Dylan was not sexually abused by Mr. Allen.”

We just finished doing a marathon of Shogun 2024 on Hulu. The costuming and scenery were outstanding. They stuck closely to the storyline, but it's been so long since I read it, they may have enhanced a few events...like the earthquake scenes.
The female protagonist seemed to be stronger and more skilled than the one in the 1980 production.
Good to see Amazon Prime has picked up the AMC series Turn: Washington's Spies. Really enjoyed this a few years ago, will definitely re-watch. GREAT series.

We started "The Irishman" last night and couldn't take the constant piano riff in the background. It went on and on and never stopped. Very distracting and annoying. Because of that, we're not going to finish the movie.
Glad to hear Clint is alive and well. He made a lot of very astute real estate purchases in the Carmel/Mendocino area back in the day, and owns several homes up and down the Cali coast, in the desert and in HI. His kids are going to be instant multi-millionaires when he passes.
Evidently he was quite the philanderer in his youth. He winked at me when I was in a food line at lunchtime on Highlands Mt in Aspen…I was only 20.
I've loved him ever since, but I'm sure glad I didn't wink back. ;)
