Every now and then you stumble on an old movie that has big recognizable stars in obscure two line bit roles...I just finished watching Woody Allen's classic 1977 Annie Hall. For some good random cameos of actors and folk singers, this movie features Woody of course, but also keeps you surprised with the "look at them then" views of Diane Keaton, Carol Kane, Paul Simon, Christopher Walken , Sigourney Weaver, Beverly D'Angelo, and Jeff Goldblum in a role so brief and random that he's not even credited in the film. It's also good for several quotes...
- I don't like to show my body to another man of my gender.
- Don't knock masturbation — it's sex with someone I love.
- Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.
- There's an old joke... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life — full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness — and it's all over much too quickly.
- I thought of that old joke: This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, my brother's crazy, he thinks he's a chicken.' And the doctor says, 'Well why don't you turn him in?' and the guy says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.' Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships. They're totally irrational and crazy and absurd, but I guess we keep going through it because most of us need the eggs.
