Wasn't there a story a short while ago that many Japanese living in Paris were depressed becuase that city didn't live up to its image with all the rude, smelly people and all the dog feces around?

Let Woody have France. I don't have any use for either one of them.

Just to be clear on the subject - no man should ever try to woe me with a French wine - or a French cheese or - well, you get the picture.

I'll take a good Claifornia, Aussie or Italian wine in a minute, no French wines. I'm getting the wine stewards in town trained too.

He's very wrong about California wine. He's living in the past. Nobody who knows anything about wine would laugh anymore at someone ordering something from Napa. . .many California wines are better than French wines now. . .

I just went tasting in Sonoma and the Silverado Trail in Napa a few weekends ago--the wine was incredible. . .

It's a crying shame that with all his money and fame Allen has never been able to buy a pair of heels that he could fit into.

Hmmm... Every one of Woody's last 19 movies has bombed. Last non-bomb: Hannah and Her Sisters, which made $40 million, still far from a hit.


I don't think anyone in film production should take Allen's advice. He hasn't made a good movie since "Love and Death." (1975)

"All Things French in Vogue for Woody Allen"

Especially when "All Things" involves a stepdaughter! (Are they still an item or is she too old for him now?)

"There's a mystique that Americans have about French wine," he said. "Despite any political conflicts America has with France, most Americans have enormous affection for thing French."

#1: I'm a teetotaler, so I sure as heck don't give a crap about French wine.

#2: I don't have one iota of affection for things French. I hope their consciences are stirred by all the thousands of fallen American soldiers lying in French cemeteries who died to preserve their freedom to trash our country while guzzling cognac along the Seine.
Don't lose any sleep, Woody.

No Woody it is your weirdo pedophelia that makes you less popular back home. Also you aren't funny, so that doesn't help things much either.

Even with trans-Atlantic ties at a low ebb, the French are still seen as standard-bearers of class, elegance and, well, romance among Americans, he said, and the U.S. filmgoing public knows it.

Woody, you are totally out of touch! Do the French make it a habit to marry their stepdaughters too?

I don't think I have ever dated anyone so snobby as to care whether the wine is French or not. Anyone that prefers the cuisine and wine over my company never got a second date anyhow. If I wanted high maintenance, I would buy a Jag.

I'll have to admit I never thought of Woody Allen as an arbiter of culture. Last time he seduced anyone it was over a glass of chocolate milk.

Sure thing, Woody. Sure.

Stupid little geeky twerp.

"If you were doing a scene of seduction, and the man gets the woman in a candlelit restaurant, he would never order a California wine - because then everyone would laugh,"

If you were doing ANY scene, and the man gets into a French car, everyone would laugh until they peed themselves.

I'm surprised Woody has turned into such a geezer. I'm not so young myself but the quote above is surely the senior citizen appraisal of French wine.

Among today's wine lovers, French means uncertain quality and a stubborn refusal to change with the times. Sort of like Woody's work in the last couple of decades.

Actually, France is seen increasingly like an old whore with one tooth left. Her more interesting days are long gone.

She used to be those things. Now the essence of France is body odor, snobbishness, anti-Americanism, and dead oldsters in August.
