THE CORNER


Woody Allen	I worshipped you once, but there has been a sad decline in the last ten years, now you trundle out mediocre, middle class, unfunny shite and call it a film that no one wants to see...going from pillar to post, searching for a country that stills reveres you. When Julia Roberts fell in love with your character in 'Everyone Says I Love You', that's when you lost all sense of perspective and just looked like a dirty old man, living out a sad fantasy...Please stop, and let us remember you how you were.

		Alright on Mon 19 May 2008 said... So, you must of seen his most recent film, any good?
		kwebb on Mon 19 May 2008 said... "Hi, on today's 'Overated' we have Woody Allen, Elvis Costello and Jim Morrison."
		Spendog on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Genius cannot be rescinded. They guy is seventy odd and quite frankly i think is allowed to go shit because he made a list of films that are untouchable. Lets not forget he is one of the most prolific film makers ever so making over forty odd films means there are going to be some turkeys. the list of his good films far out shines his bad films. At least three reasons why he is not a cunt Annie Hall Love and Death The Purple rose of Cairo. Next you'll be saying Groucho Marx because he hasn't made a decent film in 60 years.
		Alright on Mon 19 May 2008 said... ....but isn't Groucho Marx dead?
		claire on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Never could stand all that N.Y naval gazing. Big on angst and short on laughs.
		MrsMoon on Mon 19 May 2008 said... No, i posted this, the last 8 or so films have been getting worse and worse, and no one wants to see his films any more. This is with a heavy heart as i loved all those you mentioned above and quite a few others too. Grouchco Marx never really continued a film career and was more of a chat show guest/writer and quiz show host for a number of years...and also has been dead about 30 years, so that would also hamper your film career.
		Alright on Mon 19 May 2008 said... so was the film any good?
		Alright on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Cassandra's Dream just been released on DVD. If anyone wants to know the film I am banging on about.
		gobenji on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Every time I see him with his wife/sort of adopted stepdaughter it always makes me feel a bit queasy.
		MrsMoon on Mon 19 May 2008 said... I haven't seen the latest film, but i'm not interested, and that's my point really. No one cares anymore, do they?
		ComradeDuch on Mon 19 May 2008 said... If I went round coffee bars all day long talking about my character flaws and doing nothing about them but trying to look as nerdy as possible and banging on and on about what it's like to be JEwish/Muslim/Jedi and leering over young women and complaining about them and whining a lot all the time and then going to dinner parties with a bunch of twats and whining at them while they whined at me and nobody really listens - then people would slap me, and rightly so, for being a boring self obsessed little nerd and a bore and a freak. But they might quite like my clarinet playing.
		catfood on Mon 19 May 2008 said... comrade - i think that's the point, and i think you missed it.
		Alright on Mon 19 May 2008 said... I hate the clarinet, you self obsessed little nerd and bore and freak. Jog on you cunt.
		ComradeDuch on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Catfood, I reckon he's always been like that, from the Ed Sullivan show onwards.
		Alright on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Nothing wrong with the whole adopted daughter/wife thing. Its not a crime to fall in love with someone you have adopted. Just a little weird, but still not illegal.
		MrsMoon on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Alright, he was never the adoptive father of his now wife, Andre Previn was and Woody Allen was never married to or lived with Mia Farrow, but fucked up all the same to start a relationship with your girlfriend's daughter. It shows that years of analysis does fuck all.
		Alright on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Oh, that means it is against the law. Fuck me, whoops. Anyway......Why doesn't he do comedy anymore. As an average comedy is always better then an average thriller.
		TheGunt on Mon 19 May 2008 said... The final straw was Match Point. Fuck me that was shite
		Spendog on Mon 19 May 2008 said... The Groucho Marx thing was a joke. Obviously not a very amusing one. If someone has been peerless for a period it helps to just gloss over the shite that has been latterly produced even if that period was thrity years ago i.e Bowie, Elton John, Speilberg. they should be remembered quite rightly for the great art they produced that is work of genius. it is sad when people go off the boil but it is a sad but one cannot get it right all of the time. Those whose entire body of work is considered faultless usually did a fraction of the work done by others who are deemed to have gone wank. Woody Allen is a cunt but for the whole Soon-Yi Previn thing. but not his films.
		dandyboy on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Have I just walked into Trainspotting as they're about to shoot that dog in the arse?
		GeoffreyWode on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Dont think he should be in here. We all know he is is past his best but I find it impossible to dislike him as he is a rare breed. He continually takes the piss out of himself and invites us to laugh at him, and he only makes movies to satisfy his own criteria. He probably knows they wont make shit at the box office but carries on to knock em out at a rate that would make other directors poo their pants. You have to admire that dedication. If you dont, you are a cunt. Cheers x
		bystander on Mon 19 May 2008 said... I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't a bit of Austrian in him.
		Barbersmith on Mon 19 May 2008 said... He was over here a while back with his jazzband, playing at the Festival Hall. Doubtless the audience was full of cunts. But one was overheard afterwards saying "That's the first time he's ever made me laugh".
		MrsMoon on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Stock Aitken and Waterman were 'prolific', doesn't make them any good...last good Woody Allen film, Bullets Over Broadway, and he wasn't in it. But someone tell him please to stop casting himself in these 'romantic leading men roles' opposite women young enough to be his grandaughter, it looks awful.
		GeoffreyWode on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Mrs Moon - with respect you have missed the point entirely. Woody Allen is a million miles away from SAW so please have the intelligence not to compare them.
		DickyM on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Wasn't it in Broadway Danny Rose where he was chained to the bath and had to cut his foot off ?
		GeoffreyWode on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Yes thats the one Dicky....
		MrsMoon on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Geoff, i know, my point is being 'prolific' isn't always a sign of good quality...like someone says in Stardust Memories, "I prefered his earlier, funnier films."
		MrsMoon on Mon 19 May 2008 said... Geoff, i know, my point is being 'prolific' isn't always a sign of good quality...like someone says in Stardust Memories, "I prefered his earlier, funnier films."
		MrsMoon on Mon 19 May 2008 said... ..in stereo...
		buzzybelew on Mon 19 May 2008 said... I fucking love him, his written stuff is great, but his recent films I am just not interested in. Tried to watch some of them but they were just poor. Still can't think of him in the corner though.
		thundachick on Mon 19 May 2008 said... agreed, he hasnt been funny in years,,his recent output is shite..prolific he may be, but not relevant anymore..he should just retire before his new found status as a hasbeen overtakes his early genius standing.
		EvilFecker on Sun 25 May 2008 said... Hmm. Only just dawned on me, the same people post Cunts all the time. Bore off
