Too little too late.

Is Woody Allen still in?

That is good news.

Mind you, how many complainants did it take to get those two, was it 70 or 80?

It is piddling but at the same time it makes the statement that if we refuse to shut up about it they will eventually try t appease us by some symbolic gesture to shut us up.

(off topic. Are you the same thebewilderness I remember from Twisty's great I Blame The Patriarchy blog? If so, waves madly!)

Waving back to you, quixote9.

Woody Allen would be the hat trick...

Why the fuck has this taken so long? Glad its finally happened, but its ridiculous that its taken this long

Polanski raped a 13 year old girl, and yet has been lauded by Hollywood for decades. I think this expulsion is virtue signalling, so many people there have supported these men, it isn’t as if Polanski’s crime wasn’t known until now.
