Annie Hall: Classic or Dud?

I'll be at a 25-year dinner tonight that my board puts on every year. But the whole time I'll be thinking about the Raptors-Warriors game.

More unfinished homework.

adding the universe to "sun, milk, red meat, college"

I did not know this

Woody Allen's Annie Hall includes a scene in which Alvy (Allen) and Annie (Diane Keaton) are observing passersby in the park. Alvy comments, "Oh, there's the winner of the Truman Capote Look-Alike Contest". The passerby is actually Truman Capote (who appeared in the film uncredited).

i've read that before, was skeptical

pre-stardom Sigourney Weaver is in it (no lines)

I'm sure I'll get grief for playing anything having to do with Woody Allen in a school setting, but I would always play the expanding-universe scene for students whenever that subject came up (they hardly ever laughed). I got back from a planning today, and the grade 7 class I was in for was finishing up with their language teacher, talking about a poem having to do with large spiders. So of course I thought of the spider scene in Annie Hall.

Didn't have time to check it, but I thought: "Any language?" (pretty sure not); "Any drugs?" (possibly, I think Diane Keaton lights up a joint--I can skip past that); "Anything sexual" (don't think so). All I could think of were two jokes: the spider as big as a Buick, and the one where Allen asks Keaton if she wants him to rehabilitate the spider. Seemed innocuous enough, and students don't know Woody Allen from Toy Story Woody. So I played it. I was right on those three questions, but halfway through he finds Keaton's black soap and makes a minstrel joke.

Jesus...This is the second time this has happened to me in a year (the other a Culture Club video). I will eventually get it through my thick skull not to play anything older than five or ten years unless you check it first.
