He should just try to find other things to be funny about. "Interiors" was bad enough: you think he would have learned his lesson. "Sleeper" was probably his best movie, followed by "Annie Hall" and then maybe Manhattan or "EYAWTKA Sex". This may be a minority opinion, but I have been impressed with Allen's newer moviews (especially Stardust Memories) and his newfound maturity. While I enjoyed his older movies, I think people have forgotten that not only do people change (and Woody has changed a lot since the 60's) but society has, too. EYAWTKAS couldn't be made today, or if it could, you would never take your children to see it. I haven't seen Broadway Danny Rose yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Unlike those who want people to redo past successes, I enjoy being suprised at the movies, and when a director gets a new vision, I look forward to seeing it. Remember, if Lucas hadn't 'matured' he'd still be doing movies about growing up in Stockton. One 'American Grafitti' is great, but I'd much rather see a 'Star Wars' than second one. chuq -- From the house at Pooh Corner: Chuq 'Nuke Wobegon' Von Rospach {fortune,menlo70}!nsc!chuqui Have you hugged your Pooh today?
