from a legal standpoint it sounds like he put the best spin on it that he could under the circumstances...he did basically dress it up but he was still attempting to get dirt from a foreign adversary.....
i dont think there is anything that can be done on n.korea.......the main issue now is making sure they dont export nuclear arms or materials......there will need to be a detente and gradual easing of sanctions...bluster is worthless...putin said they would rather eat grass then give up their nukes...true.

Let's imagine for a moment that it was Chelsea Clinton taking meetings with Russian lawyers and spies after receiving an email telling her that Putin wanted to help her mom defeat Trump. And her explanation (after first changing her story a couple times) was, "I was just trying to determine if Donald Trump was fit for office." That's pretty bad "spin" if you ask me!

I agree with you on North Korea. I've said it before -- even a competent president would have his hands full with this one.

It's a bad look. How is it collusion?

it is such an oddity that mia farrow was married to both frank sinatra and woody allen........woody once tried to have frank's knees broken.

i saw the rome movie and i liked it but it is true...i have little memory of it.

From the article:

"Early in his career, Allen was often his own star, and his distinctive patter—the phobias and neuroses and literary references—worked effortlessly in a way that it does not when it emanates from the mouths of his various surrogates since then."

So true. I miss Woody acting in his movies. The dialogue he writes is funny and natural when it comes out of his mouth, but sounds off coming from, say, Emma Stone.

As for his reputation as an actor's director, I think that stems from him giving almost no direction to his actors. Kenneth Branagh starred in one Woody film, Celebrity, where he essentially did a Woody impression. And after the movie came out (it didn't do well), Branagh was shocked to read Woody Allen criticizing him for the impression, even being baffled by it. Branagh said something like, "Woody was right there on the set. Why didn't he say something to me?"

In the first few episodes of "Seinfeld", George is essentially doing a poor Woody Allen impression. Thank goodness he changed him into more of a Larry David

Take the Money and Run and Zelig were very good

sjpoker is the guy who spammed the the thread recently and was extremely nasty to me from the first few times he posted.....you are banned from this thread.

That's true about George on Seinfeld. The Kramer character also changed (and got a lot better) after the first few episodes. It wouldn't have been nearly as great a show if those two had stayed the same.

curb your enthusiasm new season is coming.
a lot of people didnt like the seinfeld finale but i think it was a true wrap up of the show.....
