Woody Schmoody
I've been trying to figure out what happened to Woody Allen. Following on my theory that his style of filming and writing is directly related to whoever is the woman in his life, it's been puzzling to see the decaying of quality - "and all the hype about his latest films proves just that", she said sporting a snobbish nose high up in the air - while he is still (as far as I know) with Soon-Yi. To be fair, a downward slope started in 1997 when he married Soon-Yi after some glorious years in between Mia and her, making the theory a bit more complicated since now I have to also include the girlfriend/wife dichotomy into the equation.
This pet theory came about while reading about Picasso and his muses so the logical thing to do is to look at the end of his career (Woody is almost 80) and try to draw some parallels. And I've got it. Woody is going through the Musketeer phase. He is impotent. He is a horny impotent old man, trying to get an erection out of filming his own little outdated fantasies about lesbian sex between hot film stars and such nonsense. The alternative theory is that if New York is a woman, he left her. And Woody filming away from New York makes as much sense as Spike Lee making movies about white folks.
