that-a-way notebook

I unconsciously brought the book ¨Woody Allen on Woody Allen¨ on my trip to the eponymous city of his last film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Consequently, I´m reading his interviews from 15 years ago late at night while seeing photographs and figurines of his all over the old city during the days and evenings. It´s like he´s stalking me. Even still, I´m always suprised by how meaningful and insightful Woody Allen´s methods continue to be for cinema in general and yours truly in particular.

A few new ones:

1. Filmmaking should be routine and ritualistic work, not something exceptional like a party.
2. Don´t view a film once it´s completed - move immediatey on to the next idea you´ll fail to get right.
3. Fascism is not a political position, it´s an illness.
