Last month (Feb 08), his column on Woody Allen was titled When did the genius turn into such a bore (yes, b-o-r-e!) in which he says that he dozed off while watching Melinda and Melinda. I agree that Melinda is not a great Allen movie, as I have mentioned elsewhere on this blog, it would have been like a TV soap if it had been made by a lesser film maker.
Vir rambles on:
"Frankly I couldn’t give a monkey’s. All I knew was this: Christ, was the man a bore!"
Take a look at yourself, Sir!
"In 1972, Allen made the crappy Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (a series of unfunny sketches)"
Unfunny sketches!- Mr. Sanghvi, I thought you had taste!
"Now I very much doubt if I’ll waste my time on another Woody Allen film."
Better not, Sir. Instead, please spend that time eating oysters, drinking wine and do some good introspection!
"He’s still offering the same old things. But alas, I’ve moved on."
Thank you, Sir. And please don’t write about his next movie without watching it. Peace out.
PS: I am a huge fan of Vir’s food writings.
