NO NO, Woody Allen looks just like Harry Reid.

Thought I had posted a comment on them with URLs for photo comparisons, but cannot find it.

Woody Allen has been making fun of pretentious types and pseudo-intellectuals for a long time. He just found a new target.

In his movie, Wild Man Blues (I think that’s the name) they seem quite comfortable together. The movie is about one of his musical tours. I enjoyed it. Good band, and he’s a good musician!

Per wiki, Soon-yi was the daughter of his girlfriend. Woody never adopted Soon-yi, nor did he ever marry Mia Farrow, so Soon-yi was legally of no relation to him.

Ronan Farrow?

Seriously?

Hillary Clinton has a better record of veracity than Ronan Farrow. Good Lord.

Woody Allen had some of the most amazing comic material ever made.

A few samples I remember: In his movie about the Russo/French wars he has a guy holding up a little piece of turf in his hand and saying: “That’s my land. That’s my land.”

In an anti-Eisenhower jab he says to a beautiful women in one movie: “I just want to do to you what Eisenhower did to the country.”

and then there is his classic: “I would never want to belong to a club that would accept me as a member.”

Love his stuff—don’t know anything about the latest one.

Loved, “What’s Up, Tiger Lilly”. The original MST3K.

I like early Woody Allen movies.

Bananas, Sleeper, and Take The Money & Run mainly.

There was some funny material in his books from the 1970s and 1980s. In one story, a character had written a self-help book called something like, “How I Turned One Million in Real Estate into $25.00 in Cash.”

I just found this series last night! Very nostalgic as The Woodman steals and recycles jokes from Annie Hall!

Good to see the great Elaine May, as always. 84 years old! About 15 years ago I saw her in an hilarious off-B’way play with Alan Arkin and her daughter. One of my favorite memories.

Don't forget "I'm a bigot, but for the left."

It's in Annie Hall. Alvy Singer says it to Allison Portchnik , played by Carol Kane.

Here it is.

Please elaborate on Ronan Farrow. I don’t know much about him other than the article he wrote defending his sister.

He didn’t marry his step daughter because he was never married to Mia Farrow.

Sorry, that was stolen from Groucho Marx.

So they are offended by him skewering them. Raping his six year old daughter repeatedly didn’t bother them.

I don’t watch a damn thing that pedo does, except by accident. I’d probably really like this show. But I will not watch him. He should be behind bars or dead.

Yes, someone else already pointed out my mistake there.

No. that was Groucho Marx. He used to hang out at the Jewish Country Club (Hillcrest) in Beverly Hills because the others were all “restricted,” blacks and Jews not allowed. He was so famous that at some point one of the restricted clubs offered him a token membership. He wrote back using that famous line.

Nevertheless as one wit said around the time the scandal broke Mothers Day is a particularly difficult time for Soon Yi.
