Happy birthday Woody Allen!
Yes, I know. His personal life is a bit complicated. But the guy’s body of work is phenomenal. Here’s his website and his wikipedia.
And this, from Annie Hall, the best opening to a comedy ever:
There's an old joke. Uh, two elderly women are at a Catskills mountain resort, and one of 'em says: "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know, and such ... small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. The-the other important joke for me is one that's, uh, usually attributed to Groucho Marx, but I think it appears originally in Freud's wit and its relation to the unconscious. And it goes like this-I'm paraphrasing: Uh ... "I would never wanna belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." That's the key joke of my adult life in terms of my relationships with women.


I love the Woodman too. Check out my blog and the Woody pic on it. Coincidence? I picked a “Top 11 Woody Allen Films”, you can too at http://www.stevenology.com
