Aug 27 2008 Woody Allen Makes a Production Blog, Calls It Outdated 'Diary' Because He's Old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:

But do mention that "life is the ultimate work of art," because that's the kind of meaningless, motivational poster statement that really sells a movie. That's why Iron Man was marketed primarily under the taglines, "You are what you dream" and "Teamwork."

May 13 2008 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' Trailer: Woody Allen Does Sexy
Like a primetime soap opera nearing sweeps, Woody Allen's latest, Vicky Cristy Barcelona, is full of torrid affairs and girl-on-girl kissing, and he's not above exclusively promoting those aspects in the new trailer. Thankfully, unlike a primetime soap, you won't feel that pathetic watching since the people are actually notable good-lookers; namely, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, and Javier Bardem. Now the only hurdle standing between you and enjoyment is the thought of the leering, 72-year-old man behind the camera.
