Woody Allen

I have that book...guess I totally forgot that piece of trivia

[kid-glove]

Oh, the third skit apart from being mildly funny, succeeds at being "pretty". And Is one of my favorite parts of the film, and has well-paid homage to Italian films. That's just Woody paying respect to a certain style of filmmaking and it needs a certain amount of talent to do that well. I can't think of anyone else pulling that off.

It is exactly in this context that he talked about funny v. pretty.

Thought so !

I spoke too soon

The last two skits were hilarious

You shoot this girl, I'll sue you for malpractice
(after he defeats the giant breast) I thought you'd be nursed to death


The sperm episode was side-splitting.

Norman Mailer has this same kind of relevance

Premiere in Cannes (out of competition): Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, with Naomi Watts, Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin and Freida Pinto. Description on the film's Facebook page: "A little romance, some sex, some treachery, and apart from that, a few laughs. The lives of a group of people, whose passions, ambitions and anxieties force them all into assorted troubles that run the gamut from ludicrous to dangerous."

This line is side-splitting.
How the brain-cell colleagues checking out the girl

The hauling up of the priest who was found sabotaging the cerebral cortex

rangan_08, if you are still deciding on the DTH ensure you get UTV World Movies and/or NDTV Lumiere.

Yesterday morning on UTV World Movies they were showing Kikujiro (the film based on which NandhalAlA is being made by Myshkin)

Woody's inteview to Commonweal

My friends were more preoccupied with social issues—issues such as abortion, racial discrimination, and Communism—and those issues just never caught my interest. Of course they mattered to me as a citizen to some degree…but they never really caught my attention artistically. I always felt that the problems of the world would never ever be solved until people came to terms with the deeper issues—that there would be an aimless reshuffling of world leaders and governments and programs.

we all know the same truth; our lives consist of how we choose to distort it, and that’s it.
