    Whatever Works and Curb season 7. Two reasons to live into 2009.

    Glad Fox will be back, at least for the beginning of S7. I take it J.B. Smoove will still be around as well? Season six is going to be hard to follow up.

    Larry David's body language in those picstures is enough to make me laugh.

    Wow - this could end up being the most neurotic and uncomfortably funny film ever. All they need is Ricky Garvais.

    That does indeed look like an awesome team-up. It makes me wonder why it hadn't happened before.

    Any idea if David has any writing credits on this?

    I think it looks great. Looking forward to it.

    New Yorkers referring to the Yankees doesn't bother me, and I hate the Yankees.

    Seriously, where is this? This film had already sceened at two festivals. Also, even his terrible/mediocre recent films (Anything Else, Melinda and Melinda, Match Point) have had very watchable or fun trailers.
    I'm writing for Slant Magazine now, so check out my list of reviews.

    Hopefully I'll have the energy to update my signature soon.

    What's with all this negativity? It looks pretty much what I expected, to me. I'm excited.

    This was posted over at Cinematical, along with an interesting observation:
    Interesting thoughts. I'm pretty sure there are a number of people who might be turned off by Woody Allen (surprising, I know). Those who do follow his career will know about, and see this film without Woody being billed outside of the billing block I guess. Still I think when promoting your film, or anything else for that matter, you should go with your biggest guns, Allen in this case, the thought of porn in Smith's film.

    I would imagine that the overseas promotions feature Allen's name quite prominently. I think he's less vilified in other parts of the world.

    In Argentina he has a huge cult following among people over 30. Every movie of his makes good money on the opening weekend, even the really crappy ones.
