      I'm fascinated by the people who are Woody Allen stans at this point in history. I mean that takes dedication.

      It is interesting. Pauline Kael was not alone in considering him no more than a minor film-maker, a reputation not undone by his dogged persistence in not only making films, but by his insistence on making a certain kind of film—not appreciably more sophisticated than Neil Simon.

      Yeah, minor seems fair. His movies are good but I don't see how you can look at the truly major movies of the era (say Scorsese's films) and see Allen as in the same league.

          His writing is stilted—all of his characters sound like him. And the concept of each film never exceeds the terrain of "middle brow." He emerged on the scene making comedies that were original (and mostly funny) in the 1970s, but then became convinced he was an American Bergman.

          There’s even an argument that Mel Brooks films such as THE PRODUCERS, BLAZING SADDLES, and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN have held up better, are funnier, and more “important,” perhaps bc they didn’t try to be important.

          I’m pretty much with Joan Didion as relates to Woody https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1979/08/16/letter-from-manhattan/ …

          By this rationale (New York Stories) Coppola is also minor.

          Good one liners but I would imagine he'd used up his jokes quite a while ago. Haven't seen an Allen movie since Broadway Danny Rose.

          1984, I learn to my amazement.
