In an exceptionally misinformed attack on HuffPost, Bill Keller describes HuffPost's offerings as nothing more than "celebrity gossip, adorable kitten videos, posts from unpaid bloggers and news reports from other publications." I wonder what site he's been looking at.
As far as public relations goes, American Apparel's response to Woody Allen's lawsuit is one of the most absolutely moronic moves I have ever seen anyone make.
Don't believe Woody Allen when he says the brain is his "second most favorite organ." Make it your favorite organ. Treat your brain as the creative, renewing center of your mind.
Mortality was on the minds of filmmakers at Cannes on Saturday, as Woody Allen descended on the Cannes festival with his new ensemble comedy, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.
I absolutely guessed that one was "Catcher on The Rye" so I had to come and check. I was right! Gosh I love being right, even if no one else gives a rip ;)

Woodys films have been antiquated for a long time. He is clearly out of touch with reality. The characters of his films speak and act like they are in the 60s, speaking about psychology, class struggles, and womens rights. The themes he explores are also straight from his earlier films. Woody only made about three good films, and late Woody has simply been horrible.

"Match Point," "Whatever Works," and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" were all excellent films and were among his most recent. The characters in them hardly "speak and act like they are in the 60s." And I can't think of any Allen films that deal with women's rights and class struggles. You must be thinking of someone else. Actually, Woody Allen has made many excellent films: "Manhattan," "Annie Hall," "Crimes and Misdemeanors," "The Purple Rose of Cairo," "Deconstructing Harry," "Manhattan Murder Mystery," "Bullets Over Broadway," "Sweet and Lowdown," "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Husbands and Wives," "Broadway Danny Rose," and "Zelig." And let's not forget the early comic delights: "Love and Death," "Take the Money and Run," "Bananas," and the marvelous "Sleeper." And the "themes" you think he's exploring are not "straight from his earlier films." Are you sure you've seen Allen's films?
He's going to go down in film history as being one of the greatest film directors of all time.

And setting aside his falling in love with his sometime housemate Mia Farrow's adopted daughter (and marrying her), what are his "less than normal habits"?

Besides Salinger, one author I agree with/am familiiar with on WA's list, is S.J. Perelman. He is deep, laugh-out-loud funny, and writes beautifully. He still reads well today. Very clever with microscopic sensitivity to the human condition. Think of him as David Sedaris's grandfather...

Woody is one of my idols, but I think it's laughable for a man in his position - not that he hasn't earned it - to say that life's a nightmare. Tell that to the billions the world over who live on less than a dollar day, Mr. Konigsberg.
