This week saw the start of our 3-part mini-season, “Midwinter Nights Mini-Season: Woody on Blu-ray”. Sleeper was a fine way to start. Sure, you’ve heard the gags before, and if you’re like me, you might have gone through periods of your life when one more Woody joke would have been one too many. Mr. Allen’s film-making, while still exploring similar themes, has become rather more nuanced over the past several years (have you noticed anyone getting hit on the head with a rubber mallet?), and now, going back to visit the old schtick was rather like catching up with a good old friend. Apparently you thought so too 🙂

And c’mon… silver-painted pumpkin as orb? Pretty funny, even if I say so myself!
