Some people have a visceral dislike for NYC-themed films as Allen embodies (ditto for “Seinfeld”). I happen to like them, even if Woody is a schmuck.

Ghostbusters was awesome. "From the Hip" was also good. I think "Joe's Apartment" was also a New York based movie.

I just thought all the Woody Allen movies I have seen so far are boring. The humor just isn't all that appealing to me. What there is of it is just very subdued.

So far as Seinfeld goes, I like the show, but by far the best character on it was Kramer, followed by George, then Elaine, and almost last (just ahead of Newman) is Jerry.

Jerry was boring, narcissistic and superficial, and for the most part he just played the straight man to the other character's funny bits. His stand up comedy routine that he does in his show is always terrible and not funny, and for the longest time I couldn't understand why his stand up jokes were so weak.

I finally realized he had a real stand up comic routine, and if a bit was really good, he would save it for that. (or so I assumed, because i've never seen his stand up routine outside of his show.)
