WOODY ALLEN

I've gotten into Woody Allen films recently, sure they're kinda bizarre/old-fashioned/hip-to-be-squareish and all that, but they're also funny. Check out Annie Hall for seriousness and Play It Again Sam for humour. Best line from the latter:

WOODY ALLEN: That's quite a lovely Jackson Pollock, isn't it?
GIRL IN MUSEUM: Yes it is.
WA: What does it say to you?
GIM: It restates the negativeness of the universe, the hideous lonely emptiness of existence, nothingness, the predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity, like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void, with nothing but waste, horror, and degradation, forming a useless bleak straightjacket in a black absurd cosmos.
WA: What are you doing Saturday night?
GIM: Committing suicide.
WA: What about Friday night?
GIM: [leaves silently]

+ the obligatory sexual quote:
WOODY ALLEN: I wonder if she even had an orgasm over the entire two years we were married? Or did she fake it that time?

Brilliant.

No. fuck off. Getting sick of this shit. Do the people who make these bots think we're all a bunch of idiots or something. "Hmmm, that person seems nice, maybe I should check out their blog. It most certainly isn't an ad."

Delete it? Yes, I will, next time. I want to rant.

yes ok, while i sort of doubt the legitimacy of these kinds of stories, I'll this one up because it seems plausible. And its for a good cause. Red Cross is good. BUT please don't use my blog as a forum for propaganda. That aint cool.

This will make me seem like an idiot, but i did a little search and found that it was actually a hoax. So i guess we were both fooled...Thank goodness for anonymity!
