Well Angelina Jolie is the new Mia Farrow right? Because before it was fashionable to care about 3rd world children and without paparazzi following her all over the globe Mia Farrow was the original baby collector. Apparently Mia always had a thing for creepy men, otherwise she would not have married Frank Sinatra when she was 21 and he 50. She and Woody spent over a decade together, had a child of their own and adopted two more, but were never married. So she didn't see coming when he finally did decide to get hitched...to their daughter.
In retaliation she filed sexual abuse charges against Mr. Wood but they were later dropped. I don't know how she missed the whole "I-am-a-self-loathing-piece-of-shit-who-hates-women-thing" that Woody is so famous for. I definitely don't want Brad Pitt to eventually leave Angelina Jolie for Zahara, and I think it would actually be more likely that Guy Ritchie would leave Madonna for their Malawian adoptee, David, but the similarities in their stories are beginning to freak me out.
Last year I watched Match Point by Woody Allen (because I love Scarlett Johanson) and was caught off guard by sudden and brutal violence again women at the end. Then recently, I saw Crimes and Misdemeanors. They have the same moral dillema, which apparently Woody finds such a fascinating quandary he needs to trot it out and make a new movie about it every few decades:
Q. Should men kill the women that get in the way of their money and comfort?
A. Duh, obviously. But only after they have professed their love and then impregnated them.
