WWAWD Woody Allen?

[Smeckler's Powder]

Is any of that shit any good? I can't imagine it. I think I tried to watch the Larry David one once, fell asleep and never tried again. Comedy people love this fucking weirdo. Why are people that seem okay alright with working with/for this child molester? WTF? Did he have some early shit that is so great that he should be allowed to fuck kids?

 

[Rutherford_b_Blaze]

It's a tough one man

 

[Cuphead]

I liked Midnight in Paris. Everything else by him is shit though.

 

[FingerofGod]

I recently watched Annie Hall and it was alright but like Louis CK you can feel his desperation to be taken seriously at an artistic level when his strong suit is regular comedy

 

[ThePepsiColaRapist]

I recommend Match Point, Crimes and Misdemeanors and Hannah and Her Sister.
Match Point and Crimes are sort of the same but with very different tones.

 

[Riccardo Bosi]

I like the Coen Bros. and Seinfeld and all that, but I have a Jew-line where I'm like, nah

 

[Jims_Maroon_Pants]

Some of his older shit is good, perhaps it's dated now, like his sex movie. But I've lost all respect for this daughter fucker degenerate

 

[RaggotFetard]

Genius, child-molesting, kike. Also, surprisingly impressive jazz clarinet player.

 

[Meownaw]

Liked his silly stuff far more than his serious work. Annie Hall and Manhattan are pretty good though.

 

[UnPRePared]

He's the ultimate degenerate. But I can't deny he has good direction on film.

Annie Hall has lost its luster at this point. There's still some funny scenes, but the older I get, the more I realize what we're watching is a carefully edited section of what was otherwise an anthology film. Lucky bastard realized he had one story in it that worked well and ran with that.

His serious films are where it's at. Hannah and Her Sisters, Match Point, they're so against what you think would be his kind of film, that I can't discredit it no matter how hard I want to. You look at the Kevin Smith's, Judd Apatow's and, I say this purely in terms of feeling, Spielberg's, their films feel very similar. Could be shot blocking, style, a feeling you can't even explain, but you always know it's THEIR films. Woody Allen, though, it's as if he turns on a different switch in his brain; the feeling, pacing, even the structure is not like his usual films.

I hate the guy for his misdeeds, but that IS talent when you can do that.

He’s absolutely a genius and a soulless degenerate pervert.

I second the recs for crimes, Hannah, and match point. In fact I think most of his non-comedies are pretty good. I even enjoyed Cassandra’s dream, but I think his best work was in the 80s.

The solution is easy - just pirate all his shit so he doesn’t get paid for it and enjoy. The highlights are worth wading through his filmography.

 

[Juschippinyababe]

That's supposed to be that weak looking jews kid? Obviously old blue eyes kid. Still a fucking kike. Allen isn't even his real last name. Crypto jews get the rope and the wall

 

[johnnynoname]

shocked at how little the word "Jew" was used in this thread......good on you, fellows

John Hughs films have that same feeling. You just know you're watching his movies.

But it was used a lot in here!

Every single fucking one. There's no goddamn difference! It's the 80's comedy equivalent of a Marvel movie, sticking to a formula.

McTiernan at least had a difference between Die Hard and Predator, but if you pay close attention, and you've seen one before the other, you can still just tell. It's unspoken, it's not something obvious, but it's there.

It's not an outright negative quality. Ernest Lubitsch, Rouben Mamoulian, Billy Wilder, fucking Kubrick (minus Spartacus, but he was hired help and had no passion for it), even Fritz Lang - you can tell it's them. Their feel transcends genres and it still works, to their credit, but it can feel like a crutch, as if they're not willing to push themselves to go beyond their limits and make something better.

That little nebbish cunt pedo is the only one I've seen do it. I hate that he's the only one, but he really fucking is. That's genuine talent, damn it. Why'd he have to Fuck kids?
