The latest airline bombing attempt brought to mind a Woody Allen bit
from "Bananas" - ". . . underwear will be changed every half hour;
underwear will be worn on the outside, so that we can check."

I loved him in Sleepers. After being frozen for 200 years, he is about to
have sex with a young lady who says "I can't believe I'm having sex with a
man who hasn't had sex in 200 years!". Woody replies "It's 204 years if you
count my marriage."

Woody's only funny because he's so pathetic.

It's already out on video. If you're a Woody/Larry fan, you'll like it.

Early Woody is my favorite; the slapstick of, especially, Take the
Money and Run, Sleepers, Bananas, and Love and Death with all the sight
gags and one-liners had him on his way to becoming a worthy successor to
the Big Three of Chaplin, Keaton, and LLoyd. His later versatility,
breadth, and depth mark him as a genius of the first order well beyond
mere comedy, but for side-splitting comedy of the ridiculous his early
work is classic.

Exactly. His "Neurotic Jew" was his early persona just as the Little
Tramp was Chaplin's early persona. Both characters became classics.

it was good, not great... uncharacteristic of a woody allen film... you could see what
was going
to happen a mile away...
