Although I wonder if Mr. Fox would have enjoyed the Italian segment.

Before Annie Hall, they're all pretty painful

You hate fun!

Actually (I'd forgotten) I saw some of the Italian segment too, and didn't like that either. I saw Celebrity years ago; maybe it wasn't terrible. It didn't have Woody Allen in it.

Well, I hate "fun".

As in anything that feels the need to point to itself and say, "I'm bananas!"

The pan across the rack of porn mags that includes National Review in Bananas: classic

Altho Spike Lee is a far superior filmmaker

Purple Rose Of Cairo is perhaps his most perfect movie. There are no false notes whatsoever. The tone is beautifully controlled. The fantasy/reality stuff is handled with the lightest touch - a lesser film maker would have overcomplicated the situation with some nonsense about a magic spell or some kind of wacky invention which allows Jeff Daniels to escape the silver screen. It's a real loveletter to the silver screen. Wonderful!

After that...

Annie Hall
Crimes & Misdemeanours
Manhattan
and loads more...

yeah, i've read that purple rose is woody's favourite, maybe the "only one" that he hasn't felt like abandoning once it gets on the screen. His attitude towards his own films is quite hilarious.

Hannah is my favourite movie. Crimes & Mis, Zelig, Annie Hall and Brodway Danny Rose are great too. Bullets over Broadway and Everyone Says I Love You are great amongst the 90s stuff.

Did everyone love his speech at the Oscars a few years back? "Thanks, makes up for the strip search", haha what a legend.

In Love & Death, Diane Keaton loses her russian accent about 30 seconds into her first scene.

― kingfish, Thursday, 7 August 2008 03:44 (fifteen years ago) link

Woody lost his before the first scene.
