I'm one of those, except I did not like Match Point very well when I saw it in the theatre. For me, it was contrived and predictable and Allen did the thriller thing much better in C's & M's. SJ seemed just annoying and petulant, as Nola. In real life, I find her to be a stunning creature gowned and coiffed as she is for the Disney campaign, but on film, meh.

I've not seen Scoop. Used to be I'd go see any Allen film as they came out, not so much any longer.
