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.
I was a Woody Allen fan also. I kind of liked the “goofy guy gets attractive girl through shared neuroses” themes. I was watching one when a friend came in and said, “this is all scewed up” or something to that effect, and I realized then he was right! Never looked at another Allen film.
Yes, people are neurotic, and yes it can be hilarious for a while. After a while, however, normalcy is preferred.
As a kid, I was a fan of his early movies, too, specifically “Take the Money and Run,” “Everything You Always Wanted to Know...,” and the movie in which he travels to the future. But, I was not a fan of the movies he made later when I grew up.
I don’t know if he’s guilty or not, but the fact that he was fooling around with his longtime girlfriend’s teenage daughter when he was a much older man sure does look suspicious.
Last month, I saw Casino Royale on cable, and before that, Midnight in Paris.
Others [of his] have been on and off, unseen by me.
I think the only one I would sit down for would be What's Up, Tiger Lilly?.
I was never a fan of his movies. Too creepy for me. I’ve only seen about four many years ago and felt like I needed to shower with Lysol afterward. It all made sense when the afair with his daughter came out and now this with his son leaves no doubt (not that there was) about him.
