"But until definitive proof of Allen’s innocence emerges, I will hold off from giving him any more of my money. It’s not a lesson his films contain, but it’s a worthwhile one nevertheless: If you can do so, avoid, even by accident, backing a creep." First off, there IS a preponderance of evidence that Allen is not guilty and that Ms. Farrow has brainwashed both Dylan and Ronan. And, by your reasoning, we should not support: Roman Polanski, Jackson, Ezra Pound, Robert Mitchum, Fyodor Dostoevsky, TS Eliot, Roald Dahl, Céline. Genet was a thief, Rimbaud was a smuggler, Byron committed incest, Flaubert paid for sex with boys. What do we do about them? Getting back to Allen vs Farrow, check out Marilyn Moss' book "The Farrows of Hollywood: Their Dark Side of Paradise."

Almost all of the people named here are dead and cannot directly benefit financially from anyone’s support. I don’t pay to see Polanski’s films either.

Allen does not need your measly 5.99 in streaming rental. You're boycotting his art. That's basically what you are saying.

What I said is if I could watch it for free, I would, just like I did with A RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK.
