Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[flippyshark]

Streamed some very early Woody Allen on Netflix this week - What's Up Tiger Lilly, and What's New, Pussycat - neither of those hold up too well, I'm afraid. Scattered chuckles, but, Woody's come a long way since. (It doesn't help that the print of "Tiger Lilly" seems to be the bowdlerized and partly re-recorded network TV version.)

Per usual, blame the marketing execs that this is a rarity.

I laughed my ass off at the **** a dead kid bit, but I don't expect anyone else to have my sense of humor. except CoasterMatt

Even so, I got annoyed at the hypocritical nature of calling us out on certain first world problems and then whining about his own first world problems. He did not present it as ironic or silly. Overall, he was pretty funny, and I'd be down for more of him.

The only Woody Allen movie I've ever really enjoyed was Annie Hall. Everything else has been just ok. I'm interested to see what Midnight in Paris is like since it's been many years since I've bothered with his stuff.
