Woody Allen News

Here's a not-uninteresting discourse on the question of whether one who believes Woody Allen is guilty of something should be boycotting the man's films. I am not convinced Allen is guilty or not guilty, though I lean heavily towards the latter. But if anything about an entertainer makes you uncomfortable, that in itself is reason enough to avoid them.

Elsewhere in the New York Times, J. Hoberman reviews two works from Allen's past — Crimes and Misdemeanors and The Front, now both out on Blu-ray — and in so doing, refers to David Evanier as Allen's "current biographer." That's my cousin David…the writing Evanier who doesn't write stuff about cats who eat lasagna and barbarians who eat cheese dip. David's biography is still in the works and I'm sure glad I'm not the one who has to sort out all that Woody-Mia-Dylan stuff. Soon, he will be known as the Evanier who writes about unbelievable characters.
