a. I had no idea he had said that - which film(s)? b. the last Woody Allen movie I saw was the one with Scorpion (The Jade Scorpion? or The Curse of...? in the title (not the Scorpion King! ) and I thought it was boring and repetative and the same old Woody schtick. I realize I don't find it amusing anymore. Whether or not his relationships with increasingly younger women had some kind of subliminal effect on that, I don't know. All I know is I find him boring. After all these years his obsession with sex and women, mostly younger - way younger - women, you'd think he'd be over it by now. It occurred to me not too long ago that Woody's marrying his foster/step-daughter may have been his way of validating the fact that he really wasn't her father and he really wasn't related to her and that it's legal to do so. (Sort of nya-nya-inyerface kind of thing to show that the state has no problem with this, so why should you, world?) I still find it distasteful, but would/should either of them care about that? Naaah. I'm not sure what I find more distasteful - the fact that he (may have) abused the trust between Mia and him, between Mia and Soon-Yee (sp?) and the trust between Soon-Yee and him; or the fact that he's an ugly old man and he keeps going after these young women (and for some weird reason, he gets them too - is it his, um, charm (where?) or his money? I dunno. I'm sure Woody doesn't care.) ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
