New York, New York


Stealing runs rampant in Harlem. Gambling runs rampant in Harlem. All types of evils and vices that tear apart our community run rampant in Harlem. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad doesn't condemn the victim, he goes to work on the victim. He doesn't say all of you should go to jail because you have fallen victim to the evils the white man has brought into the community, he teaches you and me the religion that God has given to him as the only cure for the evil habits the white man has brought here among us."

Sa torrenata & rapidshare sam uspeo da skinem samo Getting Even 1971 & Woody Allen-Side Effects 1980




Books: Woody Allen- Getting Even (1971)


"After three decades of prodigious film work (and some unfortunate tabloid adventures as well), it's easy to forget that Woody Allen began his career as one heck of a great comedy writer. Getting Even, a collection of his late '60s magazine pieces, offers a look into Allen's bag of shtick, back when it was new. From the supposed memoirs of Hitler's barber: "Then, in January of 1945, a plot by several generals to shave Hitler's moustache in his sleep failed when von Stauffenberg, in the darkness of Hitler's bedroom, shaved off one of the Führer's eyebrows instead..."

Even though the idea of writing jokes about old Adolf--or addled rabbis, or Maatjes herring--isn't nearly as fresh as it used to be, Getting Even still delivers plenty of laughs. At his best, Woody can achieve a level of transcendent craziness that no other writer can match. If you're looking for a book to dip into at random, or a gift for someone who's seen Sleeper 13 times, Getting Even is a dead lock..."

Books: Woody Allen- Side Effects (1980)

"Before Woody Allen set his sights on becoming the next Ingmar Bergman, he made a fleeting (but largely successful) attempt at becoming the next S.J Perelman. Side Effects, his third and final collection of humor pieces, shows his efforts. These essays appeared in The New Yorker during the late 1970s, as he showed more and more discontent with his funnyman status. Fear not, humor fans--Allen's still funny. He is less manic, however, than in his positively goofy Getting Even/Without Feathers days, and this makes Side Effects a more nuanced read. Woody picks and chooses when to flash the laughs, as in an article discussing UFOs:

n 1822 Goethe himself notes a strange celestial phenomenon. "En route home from the Leipzig Anxiety Festival," he wrote, "I was crossing a meadow, when I chanced to look up and saw several fiery red balls suddenly appear in the southern sky. They descended at a great rate of speed and began chasing me. I screamed that I was a genius and consequently could not run very fast, but my words were wasted. I became enraged and shouted imprecations at them, whereupon they flew away frightened. I related this story to Beethoven, not realizing he had already gone deaf, and he smiled and nodded and said, "Right."

Though not as explosively, mind-alteringly funny as his earlier books, Side Effects is still loaded with chuckles; the much-anthologized "Kugelmass Episode" is worth the price of the book. For fans of his films--or for anyone who wants a final glimpse of Woody in his first, best role as court jester, Side Effects is a must-have..."

Ali priče nisu toliko njujorške kao filmovi - Vudi je načitan, i vidi se da je čitao sve i svašta, pa su mu priče nešto između Braće Marks, Talmuda i Tolstojevskog : )

U stvari, meni su najdraže priče iz Njujorka one koje je pisao Isak Baševis Singer - to je naravno sasvim drugi Njujork, pre i posle drugog svetskog rata, ali sve što me interesuje je u tim pričama: ludi Jevreji, emigranti i boemi, neverovatne ljubavne priče, i tako...
već sam na ovoj temi postavljala link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097276/
 
Poslednja izmena:
...probudio se usred noci u 03:50(sto se meni retko desava,spavam kao top)...& na tv happy : ) (?!) ...naletim na pola ovog filma...Jack kao bad ass...tako mu se bukvalno zove lik u filmu ...gluvarenje po NY-u...kasnije posete bordelima u Bostonu ...ne znam sta je bilo pre toga ...
