20mb of waiting for the bandwidth hog site.
Agree with db,
Woody Allen ... barf.
Wish he'd stayed dead (Sleeper.)

Will look forward to any comments on the review, the movie, or the work of Woody Allen. We have "barf."

"spiritual flaccidness" LOL
that's how I feel every time I have gone to a Woody Allen movie. The only exception was Midnight in Paris. Dale refuses to watch his movies. When we were dating he asked me if I liked them. We had a famous argument over it because at that time, I was a fan of Annie Hall. Dale won the argument.

  An interesting question to ask is: Why did he almost immediately become a culture icon and remain one for going on 50 years, now? Was it for all the wrong reasons--just proof of our cultural bankruptcy? Because as Ayn Rand often pointed out, the American public at large tends to have good values when it comes to art, and to favor Romanticism and heroes. Given that Woody Allen is too short to be a John Galt, are there nonetheless some good values about his movies that have made them so popular for so long?

    I like his honesty, the way he portrays deception, and especially self-deception. It would be better if the good guys won, but, that is not Woody Allen. In this context, Crime and Punishment is not an upbeat romp through the legal system, and it remains Romanticist for the conflict of values as portrayed in plot and theme.
