Oh geez. Double face palm.
You in to reading tea leaves also?
Actually, I was a fan of Woody Allen when his movies first started coming out. They were a bit strange, but they were very well done.
But I think they got more twisted as his career progressed. And I think some of the later ones do reflect what kind of guy he was, or maybe turned into.
I haven’t gone back and watched any of them again for a long time, so I don’t remember exactly when it was that I decided—no more Woody Allen films for me.
who the hell watches woody allen movies??? What a world, what a world...
Bump
Who knows what happened or didn't happen that long ago. Not me. Is this what we talk about when the world gets a little boring and it is a slow news week?
I don’t care if there are tells in his movies or not, but I do believe he raped his adopted daughter, that’s something I care about.
In Annie Hall someone remarked that there had been some sort of crime On Oakland...at which woody remarked “I was nowhere near there”..or something to that effect
I didnt find that in the list...but I remember is as though I sas the film this evening
I can’t stand Woody Allen movies - they all have an immediate aversion factor for me.
That said, on a date in college I found myself watching one of his movies in a theater and saw the scene where the guy sneezes into the pile of coke...
I guess it was my... headspace... at the time (ahem)... but I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pass out.
/memory lane
Look how they blame Sarah Palin and Fox News.
I don’t get why people think this ugly whiny geeky dweeb was funny.
I could never stomach any of his movies at face value, so no, I could not pick out anything because I wouldn’t watch.
I’ve seen two Wooden Allen movies, a third one I walked out of, I don’t remember the titles of any of them (I’m fine Dr Alzheimer!), and a couple of weeks ago someone offered to loan me a DVD of a recent one, that was even liked by someone here in FR, titled, I think, “Midnight in Rio Vista”, and I declined, shouldn’t have had, so I could have a negative opinion of it, but well...
I’ve never liked him nor his angst in movies.
The only movie I’ve actually watched that he was involved with was “Evening in Paris” I think that’s the name, anyway. It was good but he’s too liberal for me to care about seeing anything else.
“Daddy says I French kiss best”.
I’ve noticed that the women who are Allen’s romantic interests in his movies are almost always waif-like and boyish.
If you look for dragons and sailboats in the clouds, you’ll see them, too.
Big deal.
Woody Allen is the original ‘Pajama Boy’.
Actually a lot of Hollywood films and the writings they are based on are full of references to pedophilia... And plenty of it isn’t even subtle. I guess Nabokov and the movie Lolita comes to mind immediately. My fair Lady a little more subtle, Gigi not so subtle. Older men with much younger women is a constant theme in the movie industry with a great deal of older and newer movies presenting a much older men with a much younger women, and it even bears out in reality. The age difference between Mia Farrow and her first husband was a tad disturbing... Frank Sinatra was 30 plus years her senior. So does this make Woody a pervert??? You’re darn right it does. The dude is sick, but then again a great deal of his fellow actors, writer and directors are sick too and Mia and her fellow artist are part and parcel of that industry. A plague on all their houses.
His movies were always weird and not surprised he was a strange pervert.
