Crimes and Misdemeanors: Ukraine slams Woody Allen for Russia film talk
The Ukrainian government condemned American filmmaker Woody Allen for appearing at Moscow International Film Week.
On Sunday, Allen spoke during an online session alongside some of Russia’s top movie directors, cinematographers and actors, many of whom, including director Fyodor Bondarchuk, who interviewed Allen, have publicly supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Allen — who has won four Oscars — talked about AI and described a visit to the USSR as a grim experience, but also praised Russian cinema and said he could potentially make a movie in Russia, although he has not yet received any offers to do so, Russian media reported.
“If there were similar proposals, I would sit down and think about what the script could be about how well you feel in Moscow and St. Petersburg,” Allen said.
Defending his decision to take part in the festival in a statement sent to the Guardian, Allen said: “When it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, I believe strongly that Vladimir Putin is totally in the wrong. The war he has caused is appalling. But, whatever politicians have done, I don’t feel cutting off artistic conversations is ever a good way to help.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I’m not a particular fan of Allen, but he’s not wrong.

^Sometimes, I decide what I want for breakfast while I'm having breakfast. I can't imagine picking what movie I'll watch two years from now.
That said, some of those on the list are absolute non-starters.
