Woody Allen: On Scarlett Johannson, Annie Hall & Directing

[steveconn]

Cassandra's Dream actually very good; Colin as the haunted working-class bloke was amazing. Now back to the Scarlett Express...

[PurushaDesa]

He wrote Scoop 'for' her? Jesus, Woody Allen sucks at giving friends presents.

[garrybartley]

morale vs family --ahahahahaha-woody allen can talk. truly a devil's servant.

[Crusherv1]

All the geniuses are a little crazy.

Hey I'm fifteen and I live in south-east london england. I feel that there isn't anything for teenagers to do with film before their old enough to go film school. Add and message me if you agree and want to start a new group.

[Statistic100]

Hey Im fifteen and I have a passion for filmmaking! :) Anyone just want to chat about what their going to do-like filmschool- in the future just message me. I want to be a director but it seems very far away since im only fifteen, anyone with good advice please tell me :)

[EnnaSilme]

Annie Hall is the best.

[billthestinker]

Soon-Yi must like to change Woody's diapers.

[cobrakeister]

I think I could knock his head off with one punch. Little smack talking punk is what he is. he isn't a genious at all, but he sure loves to mimic one. He sits back in his chair with his head cocked, and plays at being the complex director. Sheeet, he's nothing but a horny little loser, that thinks his sexual desires are more important than the innocence of a child.

Vicky Christina is lovely and more like his older stuff, but you can't compare that to Annie Hall, Sleeper, Interiors and his other work. But in all fairness, id kill to be in a film directed by Allen. He's brilliant. Call him perveted, call him strange. But he's one of the greatest film makers of our time. I agree with fundy76. But i actually like Scarlett and Penelope [:

[CrazyAboutMovies23]

agreeeed :)

[returntripticket]

why not?

They are both excellent actors.

[fundy76]

I don't blame Woody for his recent films not working completely. Bck when he was in his prime, he had a different generation and different market. These clown getting to star in his movies just don't have the cool sophistication and genuine neurosis that previous folks did that made his films always work wonderfully.

Come on, Colin Farrel?

Give ve me a lucky charms goddam break!

[JonathanDPal]

Well Vicky Cristina Barcelona is more like his old-stuff.

[OneoftheImmortals]

Family loyalty versus moral choices?

Woody is a pervert. What he did to Mia and the kids we will never forget. When you watch all his older movies knowing what we know now they take on a whole new meaning.

BTW He is beginning to look like Stephen Hawking.

[filmfanatic99]

What did he do to Mia Farrow?

[avonbarksdale5]

dumped her for their adopted daughter.

[FrancosTheMan]

He was in a relationship with her for 12 years, adopting and raising 2 children. They never married, but in 1992 Mia Farrow found a nude picture of her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn (from a previous marriage) in Woody's apartment. Basically, he married his stepdaughter and killed the relationship of the whole family.

[smileychirk]

Woody is so wooden these days.

He used to be funny guy.

It's unusual to observe Rigor mortis in a body that is still talking.

[theinsane102]

you should watch, stardust memories, it predicts the future of his career

[TheCreepingUnknown]

I think what resonates about Annie Hall is that it's funny and that it shows love the way it really is.

I might add that I'm also dying to see Vicky Cristina Barcelona!

[chomsky8888]

I think what resonates with Annie Hall is the concept that love fades. The person you think you can't live without moves on and becomes a pleasant(hopefully) memory.The ending of Annie Hall was always sad and true.

[boxinghefner]

god the accents of the 'british' in Cassandra's Dream are terrible

[Mick342]

Yeah I'll Give You That But Its A GREAT Script.

[Guedingen]

Many thanks - he could have added that another reason for the popularity of AH is its magnificent script, while much of the writing since Shadows and Fog has been mediocre at best.

[Pitamami]

I love you, Woody Allen! I can't sing or act , but I know you'd bring out the best in me reagardless of how terrible I'd be on screen! Love your work!
