Aug 27 2008Woody Allen Makes a Production Blog, Calls It Outdated 'Diary' Because He's Old
Prominent neurotic Woody Allen has written a fake production diary in support of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and it's just as absurd and self-deprecating as you'd think it would be:
JUNE 20Barcelona is a marvelous city. Crowds turn out in the streets to watch us work. Mercifully they realize I’ve no time to give autographs, and so they ask only the cast members. Later I handed out some 8-by-10 photos of myself shaking hands with Spiro Agnew and offered to sign them, but by then the crowd had dispersed.
JUNE 26
Filmed at La Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s masterpiece. Was thinking I have much in common with the great Spanish architect. We both defy convention, he with his breathtaking designs and me by wearing a lobster bib in the shower.
Do you think there might be parts where he talks about having sex with Scarlett Johansson and Penélope Cruz? Of course there are. That's why it's classic Woody.

I'm sorry Sam. I have to kill you now. It's nothing personal, and I promise I'll be gentle.

I found that more humorous than anything I've ever heard in a Woody Allen film.
Maybe I'll just start reading his scripts instead.

Reads like a series of desperate Marx brothers jokes, except for the sex ones, which sound suspiciously like the Superficial writer.

better than anything in the actual movie.
So if he hasn't lost his comedic touch, why is he withholding it from his recent films.
I guess I'll go watch annie hall for the millionth time and relive the glory days...
