I'm probably in the minority but I didn't see what the big deal was with "Easy Rider." Maybe at the time it was ground breaking but I did not like it.
Thank you, i have a punching bag downstairs when i finish school i'm going to start using it again. Woody Allen's face is going to be stapled to it.Fedord Spaniard said:HAHAHAHAHA lol lol Maguire, you should do stand up man...seriously. I feel that violent way about some hip hop artists and celebrities. I would never do it though cause its against the law and i wouldnt be a gentleman if i did. But yea i know how you feel. P.S. why stop at punching him, you should throw in a few roundhouse kicks too hahahhaha.

I get that way when i turn the TV on for almost anything.
That said i've only seen a few of his films, and only ones with him in them. I think someone may be able to trick me into seeing a woody allen film if i didn't see the credits and had no idea he directed it. But then again i'm sure it would come out in the dialogue.
I've heard mixed reviews of gods and generals, most people hated it, but its got a share of fans who loved it.
Maybe, but not me. I love that movie. I think I saw it two or three times the week it first opened. Maybe you had to be there-at that place in time.Vornholt said:For myself, I just watched "The Graduate" last Saturday, and I will admit I saw absolutely no point to the thing whatsoever. A drifting loser with no plans of any sort, a long drawn-out chase of a girl who should have known better, and the most useless, non-ending I've seen outside of the re-imagined BSG finale. :rage: Anybody else with a similar view?

Im from Brooklyn , but live in Manhattan.Maguire said:Absolutely. I think he thinks, or at least his fans find his behavior endearing but I think if i knew him personally I'd probably have to punch him eventually, he'd get on my nerves for being so annoying and neurotic. I saw Annie Hall and as I said... it was difficult. I'm from NYC too and I am anxious to leave, so movies are an escape FROM New York. A movie about a character i can't stand in a setting i don't like ... two negatives in this case do NOT make a positive.
I never heard of Radio Days, Mike. And I imagine, given the context, i'm not missing out
Skeet- i am from Queens where oddly enough, most people don't think they are in the city. We often say "we are going into the city" to mean we are going into Manhattan because the suburbs are not equated with what we think of as "the city". Out of staters just look at us funny. I know there was a time when Woody Allen was the "big thing" or his movies were always heaped with praise and considered deep and substantial but i just don't see it. But that's just me I guess.

Ooooh I'd be very interested why you thought it was disgusting.Woland said:How very, very, dare you!!!
OK, mu turn:
Betty Blue...
An utterly disgusting film.
The ending is a desperate copy of "The Tenant" by Mr. Polanski.
Prêt-à-Porter and The Player by Robert Altman.
Is it really possible to talk people into regarding these films as something else than manure?
*sighs pitifully*

Oh, and there's green in plenty of the world; Ireland doesn't have a monopoly on chlorophyll.

And what was all that nonsense with Jesus falling and hanging suspended over a bridge? That ain't scripture: that's the 'vision' of a stigmatic German nun.
