Like, 9/11 is, Like, Sooo 2001!

Woody Allen, everyone's favorite film maker and cradle snatcher, says 9/11 is insignificant in the big scheme of things.

This from Page Six of the NY Post:

WOODY ALLEN thinks 9/11 is like, so yesterday! The neurotic New Yorker tells Teutonic title Der Spiegel: "As a filmmaker, I'm not interested in 9/11 . . . it's too small, history overwhelms it. The history of the world is like: He kills me, I kill him, only with different cosmetics and different castings. So in 2001, some fanatics killed some Americans, and now some Americans are killing some Iraqis. And in my childhood, some Nazis killed Jews. And now, some Jewish people and some Palestinians are killing each other. Political questions, if you go back thousands of years, are ephemeral, not important. History is the same thing over and over again." Unlike Allen's movies?

While that may be true, it's kind of premature to put 9/11 into history's dustbin in 2005, doncha think, Woody?

Keep on trying to stay relevant, Woody...it's not like your movies are doing it for you.
