“I’m for the building of the mosque. I think that all the people weighing in on it except for the people that lost someone at Ground Zero…are exploitative, fake frauds using it for personal reasons and political reasons.” - Woody Allen
Woody Allen has spoken. Looks like this is finally settled.
The punch line turns out to be that Manhattan is an island of relative bliss in the bleak and hostile universe, but the tolerant, upbeat note on which Boris ends his ranting is as unconvincing as his habitual dyspepsia. None of it works. Or it works too hard. Whatever. (A.O. Scott, NY Times)
Um… not the greatest movie review. Still planning on seeing the movie though. It’s the first Woody Allen movie I’ve been excited about in awhile.
Woody Allen & Larry David in New York Magazine
This motivated me to purchase a copy of New York Magazine.
And it comes with a great article about the evolution and current state of Jewish humor in America (link).
Woody Allen’s “Whatever Works” starring Larry David opens on June 19th.
