Talk about throwing the victim under the bus! This is a girl who said at the time she was abused. Who was credible then. And who still stands by what she said. You’re a total redherring with your “this is just like that craziness at the day cares.” No one buys that! come on! and your “mia is really the crazy bitch who’s to blame angle” is piggish. It may seem more likely to you but that says more about you than it does about mia or woody. it doesn’t seem more likely to me! And you don’t even have the courage of your convictions… after all that blaming the victims you admit you can’t watch his movies. What good’s a pig with no belly?!

How about because they don’t ring true? How bout because they were made at the height of the satanic pedophile under every rock craziness of ’80’s and ’90s (e.g.: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2014/01/fran_and_dan_keller_freed_two_of_the_last_victims_of_satanic_ritual_abuse.html). How about because one lone accusation made by a woman scorned in the most horrible, deeply offensive way imaginable just doesn’t pass the smell test.

Really, there are only two possible stories on the woody is guilty side: 1. he was a lifelong pedophile, even though no accusations surfaced either before or after, and though he clearly had an interest in adult women; or 2. woody was the only pedophile in history to spontaneously have an interest in one child.

There’s no way either of those stories seems more likely than the Woody is Innocent story: Mia, the chronic adopter of kids, was destroyed by her husband and daughter’s betrayal and calculatedly created the allegation most likely to destroy him in turn.

In a sense, who can blame her? What woody did was beyond creepy: disgusting and no doubt unforgivable. But on the other hand, as you say, it wasn’t a crime.

Anyway, in principle I’m happy to watch his movies. In practice, I don’t so much any more. Don’t know if there’s any connection. But maybe some of the fun is gone from the exercise.
