   discussing Woody's movies

   I just saw Woody's latest movie, Anything Else, and it bugs me that I   
   don't know anyone else who has seen it. I'm looking for people who like   
   to discuss his movies critically. Is this the place?   
      
   I was very disappointed by Anything Else, and even liked Hollywood   
   Ending better. Hollywood Ending was very flawed but had some wildy   
   humorous scenes. Anything Else was so muted, I couldn't really   
   appreciate much of it, except for Stockard Channing's scenes. Christina   
   Ricci's scenes were often very flat, I felt.   
      
   I see the problem as Woody wondering what to do with himself in his   
   movies. Now that he's given up the love interest, did he really need a   
   red Porche?   
      
   I consider Woody to be perhaps America's greatest living director. Most   
   movie directors do great work in their old age. I'm hoping Woody soon   
   figures out how to do great work again.
