   I saw it about 2 weeks ago and almost fell asleep during the projection. I   
   had wine with lunch prior to going to the theater but I doubt this accounts   
   for something. I thought Woody was yacking again, as he did in a certain   
   period of his career with films like Broadway Danny Rose. He definitely   
   killed me with mentioning the French writer Camus, plus a few others. I'm   
   not French but I'm a Belgian, which is close. It reminded me of term 12 at   
   high shool where I had to endure learning Camus, Sartre and others alike --   
   existentialist intellectuals from the May 68' thing.
