May 7 2009'Whatever Works' Poster: L.D. Sold Like an iPod
Just as Apple advertises its products against a blank, white background to draw attention to their beautifully-designed product, the producers of Whatever Works know they have such a beautifully-designed Larry David that's all they need to show. No other neurotic Jew on the market has such a well-crafted annoyed grimace or such an ergonomic questioning posture. Smart to show off those features. Strange they wouldn't bother adding writer/director Woody Allen's name, though. That's like omitting the Apple logo.
Thanks for letting me stretch that comparison as far as it would go.

Yeah, but it's the disheveled attire that really drives it home for me.

Boy oh boy. If that movie poster doesn't bring in revenue, I don't know what will.

For most people out there today, Woody Allen is fine as an hysterical writer as long as they don't know it's his writing. People are so offended by his whacked out lifestyle and alleged pedophilia that they can't possibly laugh at his brilliant dialog...unless they don't know it's him. It fucking pathetic.
And I blame Hanna Montana and the Jonas brothers. First customer service fell into the crapper 20 years ago and now the official line is that people can't make up their own minds about....anything. Again, it's fucking pathetic.

I never got LD, or his brand of humor. I thought comedy was supposed to be both funny and entertaining, but both times I've tried to watch Curb your enthusiasm, I end up making the same face at the tv my dog does the vacuum cleaner.
