read, walk, communicate

since christmas i've been on a serious woody allen kick, developing a more informed appreciation of his work. beyond reading woody allen on woody allen, as well as a collection of his screenplays, i've rewatched manhattan and hannah and her sisters about a half dozen times and started viewing the films i've missed (sleeper, bananas, interiors etc). i'd say i'm about 70% of the way through the full catalogue and the most satisfying surprise so far has been stardust memories. it's an immediate entry into my top 5 allen films (displacing sweet and lowdown from the company of annie hall, manhattan, hannah and mighty aphrodite).



also listen to django reinhardt's body and soul which accompanies the closing credits.

- What do you think was the significance of the Rolls-Royce?
- Um, I think it represented his car.

I (and I'm sure other Novel-Designheads...Novel-Des-ensigns?) would like to know where you rank Celebrity on that list.
