Everything you wanted to know about sex (but were afraid to ask)
The first skit (jester) was moderately funny
The second skit (sheep) was uber blade
Third skit (Italian) was a bit funny but was like one joke drawn too long
Yet to see the rest

Paraphrasing what Qt once said about a Douglas Sirk's film, Any film with such a great title should be (he said "great") released. :P
Godard (or maybe QT) said something similar, "That Title is so great, you could just release the title without making the film" :lol2:
Not your kinda Woody, I'm afraid. Leaning towards, "hey, he was funnier in the early films" old farts like me. My favourite: The Gene Wilder episode of course :lol:Quote:

pArthuttu solrEn.
I liked Love and Death - but I guess that is the last of his early films - or perhaps it is does not count as an early film at all !
I liked the jester episode
The st suffixing of everything :lol:
I'm all out of naked flesh but would the velvet do? :rotfl:
Remember you said that if was ever in town I should look up your wife? :rotfl3:
It is exactly in this context that he talked about funny v. pretty. He said this was one very rare occasion when he could do stuff in terms of 'look and feel' that he would otherwise not have a lot of occasion to do when making his movies.Quote:

Woody wrote a segment about where he is a spider who gets eaten up after mating by Louise Lasser who is a black widow. He didn't get a good ending - so he abandoned it after shooting. It is quite funny.
:shock: For this film? Whoaaa.....Quote:

It was written around the time Woody finished Sleeper. It walks us through the way he works, his idiosyncracies, the way he thinks about writing comedy, the challenges of writing comedy for films (as opposed to stand-up routines etc.).Quote:
