So it's back to Woody again.

Far be it from me to hurt your tender feelings, Jack.    I might however question your mathematical skills:   "a man who added 1 citing (Annie Hall) to zero and got a total of two."

I cited both Annie Hall and Play It Again Sam as good Woody Allen movies.   That does, I believe, make a grand total of two movies, not adding 1 to zero.

Or perhaps it's just your reading skills which are lacking--and you are in excellent company on Mudcat with that problem--as I've noted before more than once.

By the way, you perhaps didn't notice I have bowed to your superior track record in watching lousy movies.

Though just why you would want to do so I can't fathom. I read about movies in more than one source before deciding to see them.   So I haven't seen many recent movies--they don't usually seem worth my time.   I prefer older movies mostly.   With the exception of some kids' movies--whose makers have figured out it's a good idea to have something for adults also--usually puns or cultural references.

There are actually quite a few recent kids' movies I've found delightful--Over the Hedge, the Toy Story sequence, and the Harry Potter saga above all.   I would even have watched some of the them---particularly Harry Potter--on the big screen.    Though Jan and I don't do so--a big reason being all the great extras you often get on DVDs
