Woody Allen, That's What I Call Neurotic

Mia must have been tempted to cut Woody's banana seven times.

so you're saying it depends on what the meaning of is is. Or in this case, what the meaning of incest is.

Woody and Mia lived together. They had a child together. They raised the children together. In every respect except the piece of paper they were married and Woody was acting as stepfather to Mia's adopted children. Woody took on the role and responsibility of a husband and stepfather, and there can be little doubt the children looked up to him as a stepfather.

Did Woody even marry Mia Farrow? I thought they were just a couple but not married.

I was corrected up above: they never married.

...sorry, didn't see it...

But think of the irony I am right, New Yorkers would no longer have an excuse for being neurotic.

I was slipping in a little OCD joke about obsessive counting. ;^)

This guy is a little pervert who preys on little girls and is one of the weirdest child molesters around. Neurotic? No. Psychotic, yes!

This is not a defense of Allen, just an attempt to keep the facts straight and look at some of Mia's questionable actions.

They never lived together, Allen had a residence nearby which he never gave up. And he always took the opportunity to publicly state that fact.

Soon Yi was probably well aware of the fact that her mother broke up the marriage of her true adoptive father, Andre Previn. Mia was friends with his wife Dory and honored that friendship by getting pregnant with Andre's child. Andre is not only a great conductor. Andre and Dory were a sucessful movie songwriting team, with Oscar nominations to prove their talents. Dory went into a tailspin when her marriage broke up. I remember her on the Mike Douglas Show singing her song "Beware of Young Girls" and she didn't hide the fact that Mia was the inspiration. When a child sees a glamorous mother betraying a friend and suffering no ill consequences, it must color her view of relationships.

Add to this Mia's actions when Roman Polanski, who directed her in "Rosemary's Baby", was arrested for drugging and raping a 13 year old. She wrote a charater reference to the DA. I guess she is only against underage sex if it involves her immediate family.

Sometimes karma bites you in the ass
