Woody Allen is boring

I re-watched "Annie Hall" last night, thinking to myself, over and over, "Best Picture?"

Have you noticed that he plays the same character in every movie he does, and all his characters talk too much?

Yes, but in Annie Hall it was still new and fresh n' brilliant.

I mean heck, the line "you know what I love about masturbation? The cuddling aftewards." Is one of the greatest lines in cinema history.

Yeah, there were some funny lines, and it was his best film, but man, I struggled to finish it. For the second time.

Funny, that movie makes a lot of emotional sense to me. Maybe you just have to be an insecure Jewish boy to get it. Fortnately, the Academy mostly consists of insecure Jewish boys. My people!

Again, there is little corrolation between "getting" things and "liking" things. (See favorite bands thread.)
I like many Jewish performers. Woody Allen is just not one of them.
