Yeah, I never really got into his movies, they have gotten worst in recent years.

Precisely.

As a person I just think he's very odd. He's the biggest nerd of all time.

Oh, absolutely! I've never understood the fascination with his work, and the only film of his I found vaguely entertaining was that one about the guy who wakes up in the future (can't even remember the title of it). And that whole thing with him marrying his step-daughter is a bit creepy, IMO. I don't think Mia Farrow is overloaded with sanity, but I don't blame her for going ape over that.

Allen Likes Playing Father to His Wife

Acclaimed director Woody Allen loves the paternal feelings he has towards his young wife Soon-Yi Previn, and insists the massive age gap between them defuses any conflict in their marriage. The 69-year-old sparked an international scandal when he split up with his long-term partner Mia Farrow in 1992 after falling for her adopted daughter. Allen later married Previn, 35, and the couple have two children. Yet, the Manhattan filmmaker is unabashed when he admits that his relationship with Previn is paternal and he enjoys the power his successful life gives him in their relationship. He says, "(Our marriage) has a more paternal feeling to it... I love to do things to make her happy. She loves to do things to make me happy." Despite the controversy it caused, Allen has come to view Farrow's discovery of his nude photographs of Previn as "one of the great pieces of luck in my life". He adds, "All the women I went out with were basically my age. Now, here, it just works like magic. The very inequality of me being older and much more accomplished, much more experienced, takes away any real meaningful conflict."

Translated- "I'm not mature enough to deal with adult women so I have to screw teenagers and control my wife's every move."

Jerk.

Did he say this? Really? Like he actually said this crap out loud.

Okay. Tom Cruise and Woody Allen have got to hook up sometime to discuss their wives curfews and bedtimes.

I was just coming here to post that! That seriously grossed me the fuck out. Keep that shit to yourself, Woody.

Seriously, I'd rather watch a marathon of Star Jones gushing about Big Gay Al. Now that's bad.

He's a perv.

Gotta also love this part:

Allen has come to view Farrow's discovery of his nude photographs of Previn as "one of the great pieces of luck in my life".

Translated: So what that I didn't have the balls to end the relationship with Mia in a way that didn't cause great pain & shock to her & her entire family. What matters is that I'm happy now.

Galileo had it wrong. The universe revolves around the Woodman.

"I'm not mature enough to deal with adult women so I have to screw teenagers and control my wife's every move."

Yep. Just like Charlie Chaplin and Pablo Picasso (among others). I like Woody's films ALOT. But I don't admire or like how he conducts his personal life. He appears to be an incredibly self-absorbed ass.
I wonder what kind of father he is to those little girls. I bet he's either really distant and cold or inappropriately overbearing (like I think he was with Mia Farrow's daughter Dylan). I bet there is no in-between with him.

Anyone who's seen Wild Man Blues knows Previn rules that marriage with an iron fist. Allen can talk all the shit he wants.

What exactly did she do to give you that impression? I'm really curious.

Sounds like Yoko Ono.
