Holy fuckshit Cantankerous with Doug Nagy would blow my feeble mind.

Ha ha. doug, I can’t believe you’re willing to compromise your human nature. Maybe I should be gracious and promise to use a cuss word in every sentence I utter. F*ck that!

I will do a show with Mr. Farrington and will also adhere to no profanity rule! Fiddlesticks!

Doug Nagy should be a guest on Cantankerous. (Actually, he should probably be the star and host of the show since his personality fits better with the title of the podcast.) If we do have him on Cantankerous, I’ll impose the condition that he can’t swear. Ha ha. Or else Jay will have to spend a day in the editing bay bleeping out all the cuss words!

Great show guys, loved it. Great to hear Doug through my earbuds again.

Speaking of which… Get Doug and Reed on the same show.

I didn’t think many Film Junk readers were Woody Allen fans. I don’t think Sean’s posts relating to Woody generate many comments. It’s interesting how Woody hires surrogates of himself to act as the “Woody Allen” character in his movies. It’s also interesting how he continually manages to make films. I would think most of his audience is dying off. I wonder where his new fans are coming from. My favorite Woody Allen film is “Love and Death.”

Phil G, I wasn’t aware of that book by Ralph Rosenbloom. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

I’d love to read Sean’s review of a Woody Allen film.

As much as slapshot ain’t art. It’s a heck-uv-a-lot better than Mystery Alaska, Miracle or ack-gawd Youngblood.

Slapshot is a terrible film.

I’d have to agree. I don’t really get the adoration for it here in MN outside of the deification of the Hanson Bros. When I first moved up here people flipped their shit when I said I had never seen it, and every couple years some jerk off tries to get me to watch it in the hopes of convincing me it is some work of art.

I don’t know. I think Manhattan is beautiful. I just love Gordon Willis’ shot compositions throughout the whole thing. I don’t much care for the story. But, man. That opening? GREAT.

“Sleeper”. If you have an issues with the way Woody ended up then this is the movie to see…that and “Play it again Sam”. Fucking funny stuff and very physical which is not an obvious medium for him to work in.

Try HUSBANDS AND WIVES. It’s funny in a non-jokey way, and it was made during the time where he and Mia Farrow were splitting up, which adds a bit of insight to the movie. Sydney Pollock is fantastic. It’s acid Woody Allen. In a similar vein, DECONTRUCTING HARRY is great. CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS is near perfect as well.

Manhattan is okay, but I think its very overrated.

Sean, i think of his recent films you’d like Match Point. Very solid thriller and you dont have to listen to Woody Allen talk
