Saw it last night. No Marshall Brickman, and no real visible part for a Diane Keaton-like character. Mia maybe could have fit as Patricia Clarkson’s character.

Either way, leftover or recycled 70s Woody Allen is probably a good thing. Does this mean it was co-written with Marshall Brickman with a part for Diane Keaton? Woody is a creature of his habits and his habit is making a movie every year and treating it like a top secret. Thank God for Soon Yi or Mia Farrow would still star in every Woody picture until his death. Where would Mia have fit into the last picture, y’think?

I can't wait to see this film. I like Larry David, and I am a fan of Woody Allen's stuff from the 70's. Ironically. But I look forward to seeing this film.

A side note. The old jewish humor/comedy. I think that is a dying breed literally. No does it anymore. Mel Brooks is retired. The only way to see is on Jonh Stewart's the Dailey Show, and the Late Show with David Letterman. I am not jewish, I am African-Amercian, but I had a jewish roomate in college, she put me onto the Jewish comedies, and said All the best comedians are jews. Well I didn't totally agree with that statement, but I do like their sharp wit, and cunning sense of humor.

That is my two sense.

Cheers!
