yeah it's brilliant. i stopped watching new movies about 15 years ago, but i watch this one again every few months or so.
Happiness is a Todd Solondz film as you probably know.. Welcome to the Dollhouse and Storytelling are also excellent if you haven't seen them. i think Solondz is better than Woody Allen.
In 2005, Hoffman played the title role in Capote, for which he won multiple acting awards including an Academy Award for Best Actor. He received another three Academy Award nominations for his supporting work in Charlie Wilson's War (2007), Doubt (2008) and The Master (2012).
When CBS reported this I asked myself; was he who he was because of the drugs or was the reason he took the drugs to be someone who he isn't?? :think2: I guess we'll never know......... Investigators found a syringe in his arm and, nearby, an envelope containing what appeared to be heroin
Director Spike Lee said on Twitter: "Damn, We Lost Another Great Artist.
No Spike we lost another Con Artist like this guy!
Farrow also wrote that Hollywood figures have turned a "blind eye" to the accusations and specifically asked Alec Baldwin, Cate Blanchett, and Louis C.K. -- who all appear in Blue Jasmine -- "What if it had been your child"?
"Woody Allen was never convicted of any crime. That he got away with what he did to me haunted me as I grew up," she wrote, adding: "That torment was made worse by Hollywood. All but a precious few (my heroes) turned a blind eye. Most found it easier to accept the ambiguity, to say, 'who can say what happened,' to pretend that nothing was wrong. Actors praised him at awards shows. Networks put him on TV. Critics put him in magazines."
Farrow wrote: "Woody Allen is a living testament to the way our society fails the survivors of sexual assault and abuse."
On Jan. 12, after Diane Keaton accepted Allen's Golden Globes honor, Ronan Farrow, the son of Allen, wrote on Twitter: "Missed the Woody Allen tribute -- did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?
Wonder how you would feel about this person if as said above
Some say the Glass is 1/2 full other' say...........

The Farrow clan have no shame. They had 20 years to bring this public, Now why all the sudden do it now? Because Ronan Farrow has a new show starting on MSNBC in Feb. So what do they do, announce Woody Allen was a child molester what better way to get publicity for his new show. I am no fan of Woody, but please what a bunch of hypocrites...
Right
They say ........ Show me the money!
His final evening, Hoffman enjoyed a quiet dinner with two men at Automatic Slims, a restaurant down the street from his home.
"They were in an out within an hour," a bartender told People magazine. "They were deep in conversation. He had a cranberry and soda and a cheeseburger."
The bartender added that while one of Hoffman's companions ordered a beer, the actor steered clear of alcohol.
"He seemed fine," the bartender added.
