In reply to Woody Allen's Movies, Career and Me

Annie Hall is still one of my favorite movies, in part because it treats relationships in a sentimental but unsentimental way that is rare in the movies. But it also has some of the best off beat humor. I still think of Christopher Walken as I dri. ve down the two lane highways at night (and the look on Woody's face). The kid who says '' I was a heroin addict, now I'm a methadone addict. '' And the best scene when he flashes back to when he was a kid in the doctor's office, explaining the reason he won't do his homework is because the universe is expanding, and his mother exasperated yelling '' Brooklyn isn't expanding. '' And some way Allen is able to tie that little kid to the same person who would one day meet Annie some time after their relationship ended, and everything that went right and everything that went wrong between the two. I guess we all need the eggs.

There's a nice movie from the guy who did Cinema Paradiso where Polanski only acts - though that's even rarer, aside from bit parts like in Chinatown.

Liked "Love & Death", as the kind of dismal Russian humor fit him well and the excessive philosophizing seemed so natural for Tolstoy, as well as "Purple Rose of Cairo" mixing the oldies. Still intend on seeing "The Front" one day...

I object!
