WOODYALLEN.COM The world's foremost director deserves a fabulous website and this site will become one. Right now it seems
some of the facets of the site are still in progress, but the blueprint for the site is of the highest quality. The site opens in magnificent back and white with a ghostly image of Wood in his classic thinking pose looming in the background. Beneath this photo are nine other photos of him, each depicting a different stage in his career. These photos are the portals into the categories of the site. They are: biography, movies, books, plays, stand up, quotes, pictures, articles, and miscellaneous. The biography is very short and a good starting place for anyone who would like to learn about the life and times of Allan Stewart Konigsberg a.k.a. Woody Allen. There is a not a great deal of depth here, but the facts are well presented. It is interesting to realize that he started his humorous
writing career at the tender age of sixteen and really has been in the business ever since. The movies
section is very visual as each film is not only listed, but the jacket for the video is depicted in full color. What a work horse he has been, with 39 films on this list. The book section is very short, as he has focused on writing films, but this does list his books which are still in print. One thing that Woody is not well known for is the 9 plays that he has crafted and this section talks briefly about his plays and some of their productions. The stand up category is the best part of the site for me. Actual recordings of Woody doing live stand up can be played. Let's face it; he's at his best when he can use that whiney voice of his to really put home the punch lines. One warning however, this part of the site requires a very fast internet speed and not all of the links seem to be active as of yet. The quotes section is nice for some fast one liners. The photo section of the site is still under construction so as of now it is not ready. My favorite is: Sex without love is an empty experience. But as empty experiences go, it's one of the best. Now if you are a scholar and are looking for some hard thinking about the works of this creative genius, the articles section is for you. You can, if have written something critical about Woody, probably contact this site and get your piece put up as well. Over all I see this site as an up and coming site. I love Woody Allen films, so for me it's a great reference for talking about his work. Most directors have 3 or 4 films and the discussion stops there; however, with Mr. Allen's 39 films there's plenty to talk, laugh, and think about. Give this site try!
