My drawing style is rather cartoonish, though, Mason ...
It might seem a tad silly.

Mademoiselle, if I could afford
a therapist instead of a martini, I'm sure I would have one too.

I had a similar dream...
A naked lady and a poodle walk into a bar. The bartender says...
Then I wake up...

i always appreciated woody's line in "sleeper" when asked, in a
suggested way, if videotapes of richard nixon pontificating were used as a method of torture, making people watch them. he hesitates, then, "yes, yes that's right." and of course, the vw beetle starting up after years of cave storage was vintage. light stuff, maybe, but memorable to my generation.

It was "Curse of the Jade Scorpion", Kingmi.
But I was referring to "New York Stories", of which only the middle story (Oedipus Wrecks) was actually directed by Woody Allen.

Bandanafish, Yes. You are right. And I love classical music in movies.
Have you see "Slaughter House Five?" Beethoven as the train sweeps over the Alps. Breathtaking!

Mlle, I have to take that back -- was it ordinary criminals?
Something like that where he was stealing the necklace and "felt so alive!" His partner faked a "spell..." Said she was a hemophiliac...Lol

Kingmi, and I was particularly thrilled when he also introduced her
the second movement of Bach's Concerto in f minor. It is one of the best pieces by Bach. Actually, I think that is the reason why I liked it so much.
I also think C&M was very good. Especially the part when they were discussing real life and movie life.

You don't mean "Oedipus Wrecks", do you, Kingmi?
And Crimes & Misdemeanors was hardly weak. It was his deepest, and saddest, film, by far.

Mlle, She's just needling you. I think she gets it, but if you aren't real
good, she'll pretend. After all you're pretending by doing gags and bits.
BTW My favorite Woody movie I think is New York Stories ("...one nice thing about a motel is the blue powder along the wall in the hallway"".
Although I loved the Jade Armadillo, with Winchester.
I thought C & M was a tad weak, although it had that great line, "...Yea, I'm a momback" What'a a momback? "I stand on the dock and yell to the drivers, 'momback!'" Poor Mia!

Alfred Hitchcock always wore the same outfit, too, bandana.
Also, Thomas Edison, who only owned one coat ... and no pants!

Mlle. Switch therapists. She doesn't get you if she thinks you're only
doing material. Some people communicate doing material.

TCM... I've never heard of it. I don't think we have that channel here.
It's cable tv, right? Strange. We don't have it.

Like in that "Far Side" cartoon, Talion?
The one with the chickens playing volleyball, and the sign reads, "No ducks!"
I never understood that one.

Is there a duck? If a minister, priest, and a rabbi walk into a bar, somewhere there's got to be a duck.

No, Whacky, sadly, she did not.
She just sorta rolled her eyes, and then looked at her watch.

I honestly hope you don't wind up one of those people who
Is in and out of therapy for their entire life.
Cuz that's exactly what happened to me...and really...not a good way to go! Although I DID have this guy once who made strange faces at me while I spoke. It was hard to look at him -
