what's your opinion on his filmography?
I watched some of his movies and altho they're not bad, they kind of feel like the same stuff over and over again
 Beware Cat Shirt $21.68 |

what's your opinion on his filmography?
He has made some great movies and some not so great movies. My favorite of his is The Purple Rose of Cairo
Match Point was good, idk about the others.
Annie Hall > everything else
Not even in Woody's top 25
I forgot my mantra
He has directed over 50 films. There's not much time for original ideas with that kind of a pace.
>same stuff over and over again
Yeah. But that's probably hard to avoid if you make a lot of films.
I don't give a frick about about NY or the israelites but he is funny from time to time, my mom hate him because the Mia Farrow shitfest.
This is just this video for Post-War...oomers

I have watched Crimes and Misdemeanors five twams this year.
I don't know why. Gues I'm obssessed with the dinner scene
Kino movies. Feminists can seethe forever.
I've watched like 35 of his films. I'm a big fan. Love and Death is the best. Annie Hall is good, but vastly overrated. In the Annie Hall vibe, Manhattan is far better.
>Love and Death is the best
Explain. I never understood any adoration for it. It's literally just "isn't 19th-century russkie literature too solemn?" as he machine guns you with moronic references, making plot points from them wacky and self-referential.
>My father had owned a piece of land and he wanted to build on it. They show a man holding a piece of ground in his hand.
>Russian drill seargent. Black.
>The whole anti STD sketch.
Because jokes of dubious quality? Why are you picking Manhattan over Annie Hall, then? That shit has far more jokes and wacky scenarios than Manhattan's circle of agonized cuckholds. And don't talk to me about "vibes," jesus christ.
I liked the absurdist near non-joke humor of love and death.
And I find the romance in Manhattan better than the one with Annie, Annie is unsufferrable.
And Manhattan has vastly superior cinematography/photography than Annie Hall.
>non-joke humor
What the frick do you mean? The scene where they literally talk while name-dropping novels as pans is somehow anti-humor?
>I find the romance in Manhattan better
How? It's about Woody Allen stating that intelegencia like him doesn't know what they want half of the time and regrets acting on impulse. Not only all characters in the movie act like they live in a kindergarten and whine about how they moved on, while not moving on, which would fit way better into your "unsufferrable" clause. Don't you think?
In what way is AH romance "unsufferable" when it actually has one and it's about the disintegration of said romance because they take love for granted which is far more relatable for any human than, that swinger circle of cheaters in Manhattan.
>And Manhattan has vastly superior cinematography to AH
And to Love and Death. But you don't pick that one, for some reason, despite LAD having literally no writing strength of both of those movies, it's a borderline dismal parody.
You Black folk makes no sense.
>What the frick do you mean?
I mentioned 3 jokes I liked. Keep up.
>How, in what way is AH romance unsufferable
Because, anon, a romance only has a point as an escapist fantasy, in fiction, nothing else. The Manhattan chick is far better than Annie, as a partner. I didn't say the romance in AH is unsufferable, I said Annie is unsufferrable.
Because that's what matters in a romantic fiction, that's all that matters. How good is the chick. And Annie is unbelievably annoying (and yeah, very realistic, I've met tons of that kind. Ew)
So since Manhattan and Annie Hall are romance centered, Manhattan wins due to having the better chick and the better cinematography, which exceptional circumstances aside, is the main point of a movie.
Such a circumstance would be, if a particular element of a movie sticks with you. Which for LAD was the absurdist non joke humor.
So it goes LAD>M>AH
Capiche?
>I mentioned 3 jokes I liked
And none of them are anti-humor, bazinga man. It's a Friedberg and Seltzer-tier parody, but of books. Where is the non-joke humor in a black officer in a predominantly white army? It's a plain visual gag intended to be laughed at. The literal Chaplin slapstick on the battlefield is non-joke humor too? Self-deprecating humor is not anti-humor.
>better chick
Mary? The pretentious and "unsufferrable" cookie-cutter art critic who talks about her ex-husband to anyone who listens while dating married men and thinks Woody's ex humiliating him in a book is zanny and awesome and then just dumps him the moment Yale winks at her again? That's a better chick? Unless you're actually pretending that Tracy is the "romance" in the movie, the character with 20-minutes screen time that has no personality besides being minor, after which I'm going to question if you even saw or understood it, because it's me saying Shelley Duvall is the romance in Annie Hall. But then again, you think LAD is funny, and despite apparently seeing 35 of his movies, you somehow categorize these two as strict romantic comedies, with the only value in writing being how "unsufferable" the chick is. I "capished" that people who love LAD legit make no sense.
he did nothing wrong. Weird, but nothing illegal
his early comedies are bretty gud
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man. He has the Chaplin Disease; that particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge. Like all people with timid personalities his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he loves himself; a very tense situation. It's people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it's the most embarrassing thing in the world - a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Every thing he does on the screen is therapeutic.
I love this
Fantastic soundtrack. Give it a listen.
I enjoyed Antz. That is the beginning and the end of my opinion of him.
Yeah this. Awesome movie.
tv will never be able to convince me that he's anything other than a great director. He's done serious movies, silly movies, New York movies, romantic movies, historical movies. He can do it all. Personally Hannah and her Sisters is my favorite. It portrays new york in the 80s perfectly.
"Make funnier movies" the aliens told him. He didn't listen. Too obsessed with bedding another young starlet. 'Stardust Memories' rules over all his past efforts. Even 'Interiors' had more to say and was more entertaining than most everything else he ever made, and it runs like the hour hand on a clock. Ok, wait... 'Take The Money And Run' was pretty frickin hilarious.
