huh...imagine that...will ferrell was good in a movie

[fizzgig]

we rented 'melinda and melinda' last night. the movie was ok, not great, but good enough. but i was very impressed with will ferrell, he was actually really good in his role...i swear he was channeling woody allen (it's a woody allen movie).

but this doesn't mean that i'm going to start watching his craptastic comedies

[Danger Mouse]

1. i fucking hate woody allen. so...i would not like him in that movie.

[fizzgig]

2. do you have any taste?

:P

[Danger Mouse]

3. Yes. And Woody Allen offends it.

I saw 'Annie Hall' and felt it was overrated. The only funny part of the whole movie was the bit with Christopher Walken.

[fizzgig]

5. have you tried watching bananas?

it is so non sequitur and makes absolutely no sense...it is hilarious

[Danger Mouse]

7. i saw sleeper, and i liked that one. what i saw of bananas i liked.

i like those movies better. less about allen's personality and more about being funny.

[fizzgig]

9. those are the types of his movies i prefer, as well

sit down and watch all of bananas sometime...i die laughing every time

[Danger Mouse]

12. yeah, i can't stand his personality. i mean...

his material is good. i had to do a monologue from 'annie hall' for drama class in high school, and i loved it, it was beautiful. i totally agreed with it.
but coming out of allen, i just want to punch him in his simpering face.

14. Annie Hall is easily one of the best films of the 70's

Certainly the best American film of 1977.

See also Hannah and Her Sisters and Husbands and Wives. Both are excellent.

[Danger Mouse]

15. Not in my book. It was overrated.

[Orrex]

18. Well then your book sucks, you owner of sucky books, you!

In addition, it's one of the smartest American comedies of all time.

You need to get a new book.

[Danger Mouse]

21. Woody Allen's material is good. It's his delivery I can't stand.

Sorry, Woody Allen doesn't make me laugh.

[Orrex]

22. Don't apologize to me for your sucky book

:P

It's one of those YMMV things, of course.

19. As a Star Wars geek, I gotta say... them's fightin' words there.

:P

Actually I've never seen it, so I don't know whether it deserved to win or not. Still...

[Orrex]

23. For a long time I was bitter about it, too

But Annie Hall really does hit it out of the park, Elrond Hubbard notwithstanding.

[DarkTirade]

4. ... sooooo wide open right there.

:P

[fizzgig]

6. oh hush

:P

[DarkTirade]

8. It was like such an easy burn just staring me right in the face.

So easy it would be like kicking a puppy to actually go for it.

[Danger Mouse]

10. are you trying to imply something, good sir?

[DarkTirade]

13. I'm resisting the urge to. :)

[Danger Mouse]

16. I hope it stays that way, sir. For I would hate to have to challenge thee to a duel.

[DarkTirade]

17. Actually I was kinda hoping you woulda gone for the easy burn there.

:P

Ah well, the moment has passed.

[Danger Mouse]

20. Some things I prefer not to dwell on.

[fizzgig]

11. i know, i know

:P
