[lbo-talk] Woody Allen's latest stupid movie

[James Heartfield]

I tend to agree with Joanna about Woody Allen, but you should go to see 
Match Point to see the Patrick Hughes sticking-out-perspective paintings. 
Hughes' studio hosted one Doug Henwood on his visit to London a year or so 
ago. From 21 Jan. you can catch his exhibition at Flowers East Gallery, 
where some 'Match Point' scenes were filmed, if you are in London.

Purple Rose of Cairo was Allen's best I thought, or maybe Sleeper, but all 
that miserable introspection gets me down. Simpering losers are supposed to 
make good comedy, but I find that the appeal for sympathy just grates. 
Buster Keaton was better than Chaplin.
