well, I did enjoy Woody's performance in this last one I just saw, "Scoop". I don't think the critics loved it, but it had it's moments. I know I mentioned it above, but the last scene had me rolling....a fair bit of the dialogue was pretty witty, too, and he was convincing in the role he played. So if that's any indication, then I'd probably enjoy him as an actor in his other films.
I love all forms of comedy when they're done *right*, you know? A lot of times comics will rely on profanity way too heavily, or be over the top in their expressions and gestures, stuff like that. I know Seinfeld gets up on a soapbox about that sort of thing too, and I agree with him. It just cheapens the performance when they take the easy way out.
