That fancy dinner turned out, instead, to involve my bringing the Trader Joe's chicken broth she likes to the hospital, where the very nice but very strict nurse firmly explained that chicken broth counts as a "clear liquid" but pinot .... As Woody Allen said, comedy eats at the kids' table. 3. He writes fantasy. If comedy eats at the kid's table, fantasy eats at the trough. 4. He's too accessible.

With that said: those days have long since past for me now, and I've made a long and slow transition from happily optimistic to cautiously agnostic (forgive me, I watched Woody Allen's Manhattan the other night). ...

When we do see films of the latter category, they're usually not contemporary, but done instead as period pieces tied to very specific instances in history (Oliver Stone's “JFK”) or sci-fi/fantasy epics set in partially or wholly imagined settings, and films of ...

There's another 6.5 million of us New Yorkers that don't give a shit about any of that crap anymore. Most folks' I-hate-New-York feelings are informed by a NYC that doesn't even exist. We don't all inhabit a Woody Allen movie, y'know. ...

Dreamworks, meh, hit and miss, but then again they're the guys who cast Woody Allen in a kids film, so what's that tell you? They're the tragically hip animation studio, meanwhile Pixar seems to be over in the actual Neverland doing magic. ...
