Notice many similarities between the work of Larry David and Woody Allen.
But this WAS the first time i made the connection.
Can't believe I never noticed that before.
I could kick my mom for dropping me on my head as a baby. Over. And over.
Yes, he's on record saying he is a big fan of Woody Allen
shareThey've worked together too in "Whatever Works."
Fun movie. Definitely worth a watch.
Oh, I noticed it recently while watching CYE. Larry is a less neurotic version of Woody. It became very clear in the episode I watched last night when he's talking to his shrink.
shareFunny you mention this. I've tried watching Woody Allen movies for decades, and I've finally just decided I don't care for his work. I know many people do, so it's just a case of not my cup of tea I guess. But I love Larry David, so go figure.
In fact, the only thing I've seen with Larry David that I didn't like was Whatever Works, which was written by Allen.

This is EXACTLY how I feel, EXCACTLY
To me, watching a Woody Allen movie is like hearing fingernails scrape a chalk board - and this coming from someone who's bought marked down DVDs of Woody Allen movies. I keep hoping hope against hope that there will be something worth watching and there never is.
Larry David makes me laugh. After a while, he gets a little stale. But still funny, at least, for a while.
