    I'm completely worn out with Woody Allen trying to "mature" and
    "get serious". 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.

I'm not worried. I gave myself up for dead before we started.
