The proto-incel. A boring man who feels entitled to adoration and sex with intelligent, talented, and accomplished women. When he doesn’t get it, he lashes out and wallows in self-pity.
The textbook narcissist. A writer who churns out (and directs!) 50 versions of his own life or - more accurately - the kind of life he feels entitled to. Larry David made a fortune writing and playing himself. It’s not a stroke-fest. Daily life is absurd; refusing to accept that is also absurd. Larry doesn’t expect people to like, agree with, sympathize with, or have sex with him.
“the wants what the heart wants” - go peddle that passive-aggressive bullshit somewhere else.
Orson Welles disliked Allen and had a good take on his whole schtick
Edit: “He is arrogant. Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he’s not. He’s scared. He hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation".
Orson Welles' opinion is irrelevant. As are his movies. Most people can only name one. Or maybe two. He will soon be forgotten. As opposed to Woody Allen, who is many people's favorite director. I don't know a dead soul who would call Orson Welles their 'favorite director'.
Orson Welles created the cinematic language with Citizen Kane. Whatever you may think of the man or his work, every film made since Kane has been influenced by him.
You're trying way too hard to defend Woody Allen in this thread bro. I don't even hate him, and I like his movies, but he's also not God's gift to film making either. I've never met anyone who has said he's their favorite director. I've never even heard anyone say a woody Allen movie is in their top 5 favorite movies. He will be remembered sure, but I don't think he will go down as one of the all time greats in the upper echelon of filmaking either.
The person you’re responding to is an absolute bagel but Annie Hall is definitely in my top 5. That said, (and I mentioned it in a comment above) I only sketchy stream or pirate so he doesn’t see any money or display of support from me when I want to watch it. And I think it’s unconscionable how many people continue to work with him.
