I've just bought his new book. It's quite funny in a strangely serious way.
― Ned Trifle II, Friday, 6 July 2007 13:45 (sixteen years ago) link
It's a compilation of pieces that appeared in The New Yorker (mostly), yes? Like the others?

i still love that line from melinda and melinda, it's as good as any joke in any of his other movies

Woody was in my dream last night. He'd gained some weight, filling out his old man jowls a bit, grown a goatee, and put his hair into some wacky hippie braids. I told him he looked much younger and healthier.

new book is so, so, so s.j. perelman. which, you know, no one else on earth writes like that anymore, so more power to him.

Friends and I are working our way through a Woody Allen box set. "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex" wasn't as funny as I'd hoped, but the long riff on the runaway tit had me loling. "Manhattan" was both funnier and more serious than I remembered. Seems to be wiser every time I watch it, which maybe just means I get a little older every day.
Looking forward to "Love and Death" and "Stardust Memories," neither of which I've seen.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 3 December 2009 14:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Two of my favorites!
― Of course I want frosting. I'm a Scorpio. (kenan), Thursday, 3 December 2009 14:56 (fourteen years ago) link
"Manhattan," I understand, is the one film that Woody himself hates. He didn't want it released, iirc. It's probably my favorite Woody movie. I theorize that he hates it because it's too close.

Stardust Memories is awesomely ugly, has some of his funniest/most vicious imagery in it
― strange asses outside liquor stores (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 3 December 2009 17:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Manhattan's neck-and-neck with Annie Hall as his best imho
wow, he hates manhattan? that explains his last 20 movies or so

I detest that movie. That should have been Woody's face photoshopped over the Vietcong guy.

HOOS, presuming you haven't seen em, I'd watch Bob Hope in Monsieur Beaucaire before Love & Death, and 8-1/2 before Stardust Memories. Then you'll see exactly what he was goin' for.
SM was widely detested on its release but I've come to admire its balls; it certainly doesn't succeed like Annie Hall and Manhattan, but at least he was stepping outside his comfort zone with every other film (ie Interiors).
― Feingold/Kaptur 2012 (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 3 December 2009 18:14 (fourteen years ago) link
I agree that SM doesn't quite work, but I also agree about the vicious imagery. I like it a lot. But then, I'm a fan.
― Of course I want frosting. I'm a Scorpio. (kenan), Thursday, 3 December 2009 18:18 (fourteen years ago) link
That image is violently overstated. He may have been trying Something Else, but he hadn't a clue yet.

I started watching Interiors and tbh I did find it kind of funny, the people are all so ridiculous, this peculiarly cold WASP-y self-absorption gone to rot

you made this error earlier this year, Alfred -- Waterston plays a documentarian whose subject is a Maoist.
