He also doesn’t understand that you shouldn’t marry your step-daughter.

Darn I should have said Father’s Day cards from Mia Farrow. Oh well.

He DOES get how public schools work: “If you can’t? Teach. If you can’t teach, teach gym.”-from “Annie Hall”

13. He doesn’t get that there’s nothing wrong with making funny movies and there IS something dreadfully wrong with making deadly boring self-indulgent movies.

That he’s not actually funny. 95% of his audience are people that heard he’s brilliant and figure if you don’t love him you must be dumb. The other 5% are people who don’t actually have a sense of humor but think they do.

Does anyone really give a rodent’s rectum what Woody Allen likes?

I’m not sure I agree with all of the items on the list, and I certainly don’t agree with his politics, but Allen is without a doubt one of the funniest comedians, writers, and directors ever.

Woody Allen is still making movies? Who knew?

13.5: Young attractive women are not generally attracted to short slightly built bald men with glasses- unless they are very very rich.

This is a common disease among movie makers and producers and such, they must think their young trophy wives are attracted to their wit and wisdom and charm..... yeah right!

I've got another thing Woody doesn't get: humor.

He's about as funny as a Shakespearean comedy.

Allen is an example of all that is dysfunctional in NYC, but he may be the closest thing to normal they can produce!

I’ve liked many of Allen’s movies, but his “relationship” with his daughter was morally wrong. He’s a flawed, flawed man.

I’m surprised that anyone’s paid that much attention to Allen in the last twenty years. I liked Bananas, Play It Again Sam, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, Sleeper and Annie Hall, but after that, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. None of the films has aged particularly well, either.

violence is something that happens to other people, and then it’s only to get the plot rolling so he can do what he’s really good at.

And this is supposed to be a bad thing? This happens to be one reason I like Allen's movies. I abhor violence in movies and TV.

I must admit that inserting the Greek chorus (esp. F. Murray Abraham) into the story in _Mighty Aphrodite_ was a stroke of genius.

Sleeper is one of the funniest movies ever made and the future nanny state he predicts with “bread and circuses” to placate the sheeple, corrupt govt, and fake food makes me think he was predicting the present administration.
