I love Woody Allen but he lost some brownie points (Spurs related)

Woody Allen had sex with his stepdaughter and he's also a Suns fan...coincidence....I think not....

Moreover, it is firmly rooted in a critical sense to a much larger and older literary/philosophical world. In short, if you aren't fascinated with the works of one of the all time great existential thinkers/critics, then it would be fair to conclude that you're probably not too fascinated in any meaningful way with the idea of what it is to be human. That sucks for you.

But, to each his own right? So I found something more up your alley.

Pseudo intellectuals are so funny, but not in the way they think.

Woody Allen is a weirdo, who cares what he thinks, his movies stink.

LOL. You're full of shit, man. I'm not an intellectual by any stretch of the imagination and I understand fully and laugh really hard at most of his shit.

Some people just have different taste in humor. It's as simple as that. It doesn't take a genius to figure out or laugh any of his movies.

OK, let's talk about these 3 films.

Annie Hall - a neurotic woman that drives you so nuts watching her you want to go out and get hooked on Xanax yourself.:bang

Manhattan - a pedophile's love story. Wasn't it fun watching a middle-aged perv banging a 17 yr. old?:rolleyes Kind of a pre-curser to his real life. And cloaking this drivel in black and white doesn't make Allen more of an "artist" either.

Crimes and Misdemeanors - depressing story about a guy planning a murder. On a side note, Woody Allen plays a guy trying to make a movie.:sleep

I hope the Knicks suck for another 10 years so Allen will pull out what's left of his hair.

You gotta love T Park's unshakable love and loyalty to the Spurs. You say one negative thing about them and T Park is telling you what you had for breakfast.

Like him or not, he's a loyal fan.
