[MOPO] OT - Evan Zweifel and David Kusumoto in Public
Taking this off the old thread so people can delete this at will. Yeah, Evan, I've noticed you routinely enjoy making smarty-pants remarks about the views of other MoPo'ers, despite the fact that your posts have added nothing to MoPo - other than fecal noise - since the dawn of man. You're not quite a "rodxmorgan," but as a veteran of these boards, you seem to be a lonely, malodorous chap making dodgy comments about theater concessions, posters and the like, often without grace or humility. However, I do accept your "deepest most heartfelt apology" - despite its inane context - because it may be the first stirrings of something more sarcastically complex at work - beyond the mono-cell life form you project on these boards. Alas, most MoPo'ers, myself included, still have no idea, nor any grasp - nor perhaps, any interest - of who or what - an "Evan Zweifel" is. It's difficult because Evan Zweifel (if that's you're real name) - doesn't understand that releasing short bursts of verbal flatus - isn't the same as sharing more of yourself that proves that you're a person with a life outside of the Internet. My deepest most heartfelt apologies - and sympathies - for your aggrieved state.

We still liked him in lesser pictures like "Mighty Aphrodite" and the "Curse of the Jade Scorpion." The "stake in the heart" was sitting through three pictures that made us feel ripped off at the box office: 1) "Hollywood Ending" (despite a great promo poster featuring 52 images of the endings of great film classics), 2) "Anything Else" and, 3) "Whatever Works."

Please stop, both of you. Since this is a Woody Allen flame thread, I am reminded of the scene in Annie Hall, where the two guys are arguing over the meaning of Marshall McLuhan's work and Woody breaks the fourth wall by bringing Marshall himself into the frame to tell both of them that they have absolutely no clue.

Re: [MOPO] OT - Evan Zweifel and David Kusumoto in Public
Let's lighten the mood a bit by slightly changing the subject. I blow hot and cold on Woody's films but there's one character so beautifully drawn in Crimes and Misdeamors that it moved me to belly laughs because this character was someone right out of my life. It's no secret that Woody Allen is not a fan of public television. He's had an on-going feud with Channel 13 in NYC for years. Well, I worked for public television as Head of the Business Affairs and Legal Department for years and I worked alongside a Production Head who kept trying to pitch his "great" idea for a series to anyone who'd listen: he wanted to film the great thinkers and their lectures. Just one camera with one person each week delivering his "great thinker" lecture straight-on for an hourthat was the whole idea. I went to see Crimes and Misdeamors in the theater and sure enough there's a character in that film who wants to make a public television film about the lectures of a great thinker. I never laughed so much in my life and I have no idea if Woody based this character on the Production Head I worked with but I always suspected he might of.

Woody Allen cast one of my favorite actors in his movie Stardust Memories. Charlotte Rampling. So the guy is OK in my book.
