the relative critical and commercial success of his post-2000 output is baffling

Blue Jasmine (2013) features brilliant performances from an outstanding cast.

this reads like a good essay for a college film class
i would've settled for 'features brilliant performances by Sally Hawkins and Andrew Dice Clay.'

Casting Miley Cyrus almost reads like trolling. But my guess is it isn't intentional.

i suspect he doesn't really know who she is, kinda like me

also i don't give a fuck, that teen queen who was in Altman's final film seemed to work out OK
yeah, putting a hypersexualized childlike star (and former child star) is definitely a total accident, I'm sure.

yeah Woody has a "studio lot."

wait are you actually anticipating this Morbz? cuz iirc you're just as harsh (actually maybe moreso) on Woody's post-2000 output as I am. Like, what is promising about this.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 26 January 2016 16:57 (ten years ago)
i was also semi-joking, but i do love Elaine May (and she was funny in Small Time Crooks), so i'd be curious to see if she's "got it" at 83.
― we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 26 January 2016 17:02 (ten years ago)
you know, Ms Cyrus is 23. Did you think WA is going to fill his entire cast with octogenarians? Ellen Page was about 23 when she did that horrendous Rome movie with him, but i guess that's ok bcz she is a non-"hypersexualized" lesbian.
― we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 26 January 2016 17:06 (ten years ago)
I don't get people being upset with Woody over this. 23 is pretty old for him, so it's an improvement considering the average age between him and his ideal sex partner is 44.
― larry appleton, Tuesday, 26 January 2016 17:41 (ten years ago)
actually it's 63
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 26 January 2016 17:48 (ten years ago)
I wonder if you left a kid to cool on a windowsill, would Woody Allen pick up the scent and float in the air towards it like in an old Hanna Barbera cartoon? I think so.

All North American rights, including theatrical and streaming, to Allen’s next film have been acquired by Amazon. (this is before the series)

weird. i never thought he would abandon celluloid.

the last one was shot digitally, i think? it's not like he had much of a choice, he doesn't do Nolan box office.

just googled it. looks like this is the first one to be shot digitally

Lol at the philosophy class in irrational man. Every day a new philosopher is given the wikiquotes treatment.

I like joaquin phoenix in this, the beer belly and speech slurring and book about heidegger and fascism. Woody Allen movies could probably be written by a machine at this point.
