He was in traction after contorting himself in an effort to demonstrate that it was not physically possible for Woody Allen to have creepy sex with a not-quite-related young woman. ---

No contortions necessary, as the young woman in question was in fact older than Mia Farrow was at the time she was boning Frank Sinatra. The young woman in question probably also hopes she lives long enough to be boning someone at the age Mia Farrow ultimately was boning Frank Sinatra. 😃 (So you see, **Hector** , you’re just too much of a lightweight to be bothersome to me. :)) ---

Remember when Frank Sinatra was boning Mia Farrow’s mother and Mia Farrow was calling him “Dad”? And then Frank took naked pictures of Mia while boning Mia’s mom? Yeah, me neither. ---

So. You’re a prescriptivist. How do you live with yourself, exactly ? Why do a dictionary highjack? That’s dry and boring. Why not veer off into young hottie boning men old enough to be their ancestors? I hear Katherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are getting divorced after Katherine gave Michael throat cancer with her vagina. ---

Yeah, I’m the lightweight. Does Halloween make it harder for you to entice children with candy? You know, because of inflation and all? ---

Having fully taken into account many posters’ aversion to the facts, I am nonetheless compelled to point out that Soon-Yi Previn was never Woody Allen’s daughter, adopted or otherwise, nor did they ever live under the same roof. Woody Allen merely fell in love with his equally if not more unfaithful girlfriend’s adult adopted daughter. Meh, such things happen. If you want to revile Allen for cheating on his girlfriend or making movies you don’t like or any other factual basis, then knock yourself out. But after all, this board is devoted to fighting ignorance, and when it comes to Woody Allen there’s a ton of it. ---

If you think twenty is very young I’d say you’re the one with a problem. Not to mention your focus on the sexual aspects of their relationship, whereas I concentrate more on the fact that their relationship appears to be a loving and genuine one that has stood the test of time. And of course I always like showing you loudmouths up on the many occasions you’re wrong. 😉 ---

Guys, on this point Starving Artist (re: Woody Allen and Soon-Yi) is essentially correct. There’s more creepiness to it than he is acknowledging, but he’s got the basic facts correct. Please, never, ever make me have to type “Starving Artist” “is” and “correct” in the same sentence ever again\*… \*ETA: Unless I get to include the word “not,” of course. ---
