Woody and another decade
There's something special about watching Woody Allen movies in old theaters, or at least theaters that look old. I think it's the music and the simple white on black credits. It just makes me feel like movies are still special and Woody understands that. I don't love his movies, but I think he understands the experience. He makes me feel a little less guilty about spending $8.50, because he gets it. He gets the "going to the pictures for entertainment" feel that isn't all about SELL. SELL. SELL. I appreciate that, but then of course I would, because it reminds me of a time that I wasn't born in. I'm a sucker for someone else's nostalgia.
