Pope’s Wife Gives Birth to Twins

September 6th – September 12th

Sleeper – Didn’t get around to watching Everything You Always… and didn’t make it to Noble Theatre for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. But I did manage to watch Woody Allen’s 1973 comedy film Sleeper. This one was more along the lines of the slapdash comedy of Bananas. The gag-a-second style is great at keeping the laughs coming. And this one was full of the funny. But I guess when it comes down to it, I’m not that huge of a comedy fan. Sure I like to laugh. But all things equal, I generally prefer the dramatic to the comedic. So, I certainly prefer the more dramatic work of Allen.

    Funny, I found your site as I was researching Warren Theater I was writing about – but yes it’s interesting you watched Sleeper recently as I did too. I must say I found it very strained, yes I laughed (probably at the volkswagon joke most) but it wasn’t absolutely wonderful the way it had seemed when I first watched it as a kid.

    I’ve changed — humor has changed? I guess the film is stuck in aspic. Allen sure has changed, though I’m not sure entirely for the better.
