(Melodie asks him how she looks for her date with a new man) "That's an awfully agressive ensemble, you looking to wind up in an abortion clinic?"
(on New Years Eve as he talks to the audience) "I happen to hate New Years celebrations. Everybody's desperate to have fun trying to celebrate in some pathetic little way. Celebrate what, a step closer to the grave? That's why I can't say enough times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filtch or provide, every temporary measure of grace -- whatever works! Don't kid yourself, it is by no means up to your human ingenuity, a bigger part of your existence is luck. Christ, you know the odds of your father's one sperm from the billions finding the single egg that made you? Don't think about it or you'll have a panic attack!"
But why do you even want to hear about all this? Christ, you got your own problems. I'm sure your all obsessed with any number of sad little hopes and dreams. Your predictably unsatisfying love lives, your failed business ventures. "Oh, if only I'd bought that stock! If only I-if only I purchased THAT house years ago! If only I'd made a move on THAT woman." If this, if that. You know what? Gimmie a break with your could have's and should have's. Like my mother used to say, "If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car."
Whatever Works.

Este é o próximo da minha lista!!!
Adorei o Hollywood Ending e o Match Point... Parece-me irónico e muito apetecível...
O último que fui ver foi "Homens que Matam Cabras com o Olhar", gostei, apesar de estar à espera de mais loucura... Mas aconselho-o!!!
já vi, por um simples acaso de horário no dia dos namorados!
E gostei :D
Gosto do Woody Allen mas não achei este filme nada de especial. O tema já é recorrente e o argumento não é nada de surpreendente. Claro que, ainda assim, não deixa de ser um bom filme. Ou não fosse do Woody;)
Estou a tentar vê-lo pela terceira vez. Aos bocadinhos.
