Yes, Manhattan was with Mariel Hemingway. The Wallace Shawn character (the humunculus) was from Annie Hall.

I thought "Thelma and Louise" was a very manipulative film, completely implausible. I was completely appalled that something so violent and crummy was taken up as some kind of feminist statement, essentially girls being as miserable as boys, blowing things up on the open road. This is progress?
   
The person I have never been able to figure out why people like is Michael Douglas. He seems to me to have no talent, overexerts himself to no point, and is like some stuffed doll. Like an anglo saxon Ricardo Montalban (I prefer Ricardo Montalban). I have never seen him do anything remotely interesting in a film (he practically ruined Basic Instinct just by being in it).
