He never adopted her. Sun Yi was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow, who was never married to Woody Allen.

I'm not saying what he did was right, but there is a major difference between what you are saying and what he actually did.

Here's why I never bought the Dylan allegation for a second : I deal with nastily divorced parents every day. There's a level of resentment and hate there that's so deep and toxic and venomous sometimes. I've had, I don't want to say many, but several allegations of sexual abuse between nastily divorced parents over the years (either alleging the father or the mother's new boyfriend). We take them all seriously, but they've all turn out to be nothing. Former spouses want to hurt each other in the worst way they can imagine. Usually this is what they come up with. Sometimes when they're especially vindictive, they coach the kids. Probably very rarely, but it happens. I can imagine Mia Farrow, justifiably so, feeling that vindictive.

Brett Ratner is a skeevy guy there are a lot of stories of him banging or sexually harassing female models and extras all the way back to his music video days. Then of course him talking about banging LiLo and making her get tested.

Then of course there's his homophobia.

still better than fucking children.

Allegedly. No one has enough facts, and this Egan did a terrible job by not naming Singer to begin with when he went to law enforecement initially.

When you see smoke you start seriously thinking about fire. To me there is more circumstantial evidence against Woody than Singer.

Singer was a frequent, and apparently fully comfortable, presence at the M&C estate- where several of his "hot tub casting" stories come from (the kid who had the Pyro cameo in the first film was allegedly one of the boys he cast from that location). Hollywood is full of gay friendly environments where Singer could have hanged comfortably- but for one reason or another he frequented the residence of an eventually convicted sexual predator. A predator whose inclinations veer in the same general direction that Singers are well documented to. Even if he never laid a hand on Egan, or anyone else technically under the age of consent, the predatory scum bags at the M&C estate comprised the peer group he clearly enjoyed being around.

One of the things that leaves me incredulous is how Marc Collins-Rector could apparently get off with such a light sentence (time served) and get out of paying up on a civil judgement (not to mention not being even more severely penalized for fleeing and then getting caught with with more damning evidence on his computer while on the run).
Honestly, if the allegations are true, and at the same time guys like this are getting their wrists slapped when they do get caught up with- how can that not deter or delay victims from coming forward.
The game is clearly rigged overwhelmingly in the favor of the powerful...and powerfully connected.

Singer is the new Victor Salva now.

i know understand why the x-men movies gave out a gay theme.

.

I would not be eating shrimp while receiving oral from a woman. I have drank a nice Scotch or Bourbon while receiving oral, though. I keep it classy.

Its like the seafood version of a blumpkin.

That one thing about the first two movies that I thought made them better than they were. That metaphorical aspect made them more than just comic book superhero movies. And I gave Singer credit for bringing that to the table.
The characters were always outsiders, but being a non closeted gay man, he had personal insights that informed the material well I thought.

That said, that aspect is going to play differently now in light of all this.
What's going to be interesting to see is, after having that quality not emphasized in the last film, if Singer brings it back here and makes it more on the nose. While Fox can still market this and avoid Singer, if the material itself goes seems to be back to channeling gay-experience metaphor, there could be some noisy backlash this time.
That's one thing I'm interested to see play out- as well as how many other notable Singer friends and associates get muddied by association.

Maybe I've never paid attention to it but how did Singer's X films have a gay vibe to them. I just thought it was a generalized casting of being different and persecuted for it. Like the comics for the most part.

They didn't have a gay vibe, they had a strong "coming out" subtext to them though, a bit more than the comics. It's actually one of the things that worked in favor of the first two X-men movies.

It definitely had a gay "coming out" subtext. If you closed your eyes and only listened to the dialogue, it sounded exactly like the typical coming out scene in a show or movie. The first thing I thought when watching those scenes in the first X-Men was "I bet the director or writer is gay" (at the time I had no idea Singer was gay).

So will MAD magazine call the new movie "Sex-Men: Gays of Few Tours Passed?"

People still give a fuck about MAD magazine? I never got the appeal of that thing. Never found it funny. Rather mediocre.

"Have you tried not being a mutant?"

Yeah. But I'd heard stuff like in the cartoons and comics too. I think didn't Jubilee's parents say that to her in the early 90s cartoon?

I don't think so. The 90s cartoon had more of a 60s Civil Rights approach. But I never saw any of the series after that.

The stuff from the 70's and 80's is very good. Don Martin, movie satires, Dave Berg, tons of good stuff. It started to suck with the overhaul in '97, even though some of those changes have been reversed.

The X-Men comics have always sort of had a oppressed minority/civil rights vibe to them. In the 60s, it was a metaphor for racial/ethnic minorities; in the 90s it was a metaphor for gay rights and 'coming out.'

The Singer movies kind of upped this with Ian McKellan playing Magneto like an old queen.

His homophobia might explain why he refused to make a good sequel ... It's kind of like gay sloppy seconds.

It's also in the editing - especially at how awful the Mystique/Wolverine fight is and how awful the Deathstrike/Wolverine fight is. He never lets the camera linger on the females in those fights longer than half a second but pretty much leaves it stationary when Wolverine is in the frame. I've been saying that shit for years.
