Who else would like a free shot at Woody Allen?

I can't stand this guy. His ridiculous mannerisms, always massively self-centered characters, and the fact that he always gets all of these hot women in his films when he looks like some old librarian or a slightly younger version of the mole-man from The Simpsons, and the personality of George Costanza with depression. On top of all of this, his films are full of uninteresting, meaningless conversation that for some bizarre reason some people consider humorous. Plus he's an old pervert.

Obsessed much?

Agreed. I can't stand his character. Yet I still like his movies.

Yeah his more self centered forays that seem little more than extensions of his hour at the analysts´, can really drive a man up the wall... The way he just goes on and on and on about his mostly very uninteresting bloody relationships, is just plain irritating. And, unfortunately, there´s quite a bit of that self obsessed stuff in this number as well - what more or less saves the day is that it´s all peppered with some really inspired, funny comedic ideas. Still, can´t give this exercise in navel gazing a higher rating than 6,5/10. What Stiffy´s better things always have in common, is that they´ve been steered clear of any of his more autobiographical issues... and have a relatively limited amount of Stiffy The Actor in them, too (the early comedies notwithstanding).
