Woody Allen Stinks

[drjoek]

There I said it.
I don't care how much Ron and Dave prosteltise(sp?) about Woody Allen and his movies I cant stand anyone of them. Let me begin by saying I have seen most of them and I am not just a popcorn movie guy. First off he hasnt made a successful movie in ~20 years. All of his movies are critical darlings but to me they are for the most part self indugent dreck that is NY centered to a fault. Ive heard about what a genius he is and how everyone wants to work with him But he puts himself, a whiny ethnic character, as a lead in every movie, keep him

He has NEVER had a movie earn more than $40Million dollars EVER, not that box office matters but come on.

Care to differ or agree?



Up next Wes Anderson

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Im not a fan of Woody Allen

but my opinion is weak

Im a Bacon Eating Beer Drinking Oaf who doesn't watch many movies

[realmenhatelife]

The problem here is I think Woody Allen's definition of success differs from alot of people's definition of success. Match Point and Mighty Aphrodite were both fairly successful. I wouldn't go so far as to say he stinks, I wont sit around and talk about how amazing he is. He's getting us a Scarlett Johanson lesbian scene next time out, so dude is alright.

Dave's baby enthusiasm makes me hate movies I previously love to watch, I get totally disgusted when he does his awful 'smart dave' voice that sounds like he just shot milk out of his nose.

I've had many anti Wes Anderson diatribes in my day, and I actually really like him.

Will making fun of this hack get you banned too mikey? Or is it just one certain hack? Just checking before i comment..

[IMSlacker]

So, we can't bash Tommyzman, but it's open season on Woody Allen? This is chaos!

[JerseyRich]

This is one situation where I cannot sit by and take this kind of talk like Gvac would...


But actually, I can understand how he wouldn't be your cup of tea. This kind of humor isn't for everyone.















It's for smart people who understand comedy.

[FUNKMAN]

I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.

Oh I see hes only for the smart people. got it

I've always said that Woody Allen is the poor man's Keithy19.

When I saw your first post I thought you meant I was the hack :lol: Actually I am a hack but I stand by my post:laugh:

[JerseyRich]

Yes.

Wait.


yes.

[Rockvillejoe]

i didn't hear the show today. seldom do live, but my take is woody allen is still fantastic. i thought "match point" was one of the years' best, and the other scarlett johannson vehicle that i think was called "scoop" was very entertaining. his attention to detail is unparalleled. in "scoop" when he tells scarlett he stays skinny by worrying was laugh out loud classic allen. the twist in "match point" was brilliant. nah, the woodman still has it goin on. got to love the woodman. crimes and misdemeanors: one of his best. he seems to be constantly struggling with justifiable homicide. that's a little off putting/

[Kevin]

Yea, i can see why you thought that...

[mongothetrucker]

I never liked Woody Allen either.

[WhistlePig]

I like a lot of his old movies, like "Sleeper," "What's Up Tiger Lilly?" and "Zelig." I don't laugh out loud at movies that often but I did at these. (And there's a creepy scene during the credits at the end of "Tiger Lilly" that has a very young asian girl doing a seductive dance in front of Woody while he lays on a couch--this was years before the Soon Yee scandal--that makes it worth renting).

[PapaBear]

I can remember liking Woody Allen movies when I was very young. I've always liked him, though I probably haven't seen anything close to half of his films.

[donnie_darko]

ouch.

argh.

if it doesn't matter why bring it up.

lets not start a discussion on art, and movies as art, and how most artists aren't accepted during their life....etc...

this is retarded.

[A.J.]

Oh, I'm sorry -- I thought Mia Farrow had started this thread.

[CountryBob]

Woody Who?
He dosent do shit for me and i would rather be at a time sharing seminar than watch one of his movies.

But hell, I like Larry the cable guy so what do you expect?

[joethebartender]

I like a few of his movies, probably less than half of them. So i guess I could take or leave him as a director.

But...

I can't live without his clarinet playing!!!

[keithy_19]

I've always said that Woody Allen is the poor man's Keithy19.

I love you.

Take The Money And Run is incredibly funny and Annie Hall is a classic.

[drjoek]

I've always said that Woody Allen is the poor man's Keithy19.

I thought I'd revisit this when Ronnie B said it today that Woody Allen is only making movies for UES Jews. And look at the post I found
Circle of life

Up next Wes Anderson

anything over 40 mil at the box office automatically makes a movie suspect to being popcorn garbage

wes anderson is good shit

[epo]

If you don't like Zelig, I don't know if we share anything in common.

[drjoek]

Zelig. Watchable. Wes Andersen meh

[TheMojoPin]

If you claim Woody Allen has never done anything as a filmmaker or a comedian to make you laugh, you're the lyingest liar who ever lied.

[TheMojoPin]

(And there's a creepy scene during the credits at the end of "Tiger Lilly" that has a very young asian girl doing a seductive dance in front of Woody while he lays on a couch--this was years before the Soon Yee scandal--that makes it worth renting).

Huh? She's a large, beefy Japanese woman...there's nothing "very young" about her at all. And he's eating an apple, totally ignoring her.

[KatPw]

I don't care for Woody Allen films.

[grlNIN]

Meh.

I don't think i have any other opinion about him since i usually only watch fragments of his movies.

[SP1!]

It's for smart people who understand comedy.

:dry:

Considering dave gets them and thinks they are funny really sinks you theory that his films are for people who understand smart humor.

Some of his films are ok but most really suck, I found some of his spoken word shit funny as hell though.

[Freakshow]

these pretzels are making me thirsty!

[MacVittie]

I love Woody Allen. He has an amazing way with words that brighten up some of his weaker movies (there are some great lines in "Curse of the Jade Scorpion").

[jetdog]

Holy Shit... this thread popping up made me imdb Woody, more than 60 movies written, more than 40 movies directed, more than 40 movies acted in.
Argue about your opinion of him all you like, but those numbers are astronomical.

and come on, what's funnier than Julia Dreyfus (whatever her name is), blowing Woody Allen in the kitchen and hid blind grandma walking in? That's funny shit!

And watch-it with any Wes Anderson shit talking:furious:

For the love of God, Mojopin, by what misogynistic scale are you using to determine that asian flower as "beefy?" I believe you can see Woody catch wood when she leans over to unstrap her leggings

Young, not so much

[Hottub]

I'm Hottub, and I approve of this thread.

Whiney bore.

[torker]

I never cared for Wood-Yee.

[IamFogHat]

Ahw it's on now.:furious:

Exactly! She's large and beefy?!? I no like you now.

[Drunky McBetidont]

ok, sorry. i'm leaving already.:glurps:

[Dirtbag]

Woody Allen is probably like a lot of bands I would/should like, but I'm so far behind that I really can't be bothered. I've never seen a single one of his movies, and I even own a couple cause they were on sale for something like 4 bucks.

clearly a loving homage

[CountryBob]

Never understood the appeal of Woody - Id rather watch C-Span than his movies
