I find Larry David despite his occasional funniness to be a misanthrope. Woody Allen really thinks way too highly of himself. I find Larry David despite his occasional funniness to be a misanthrope.

My guess is that Woody Allen could have his pick at any film school, art school or other aesthetic paradise on the country, and certainly in France. I loved Lionel's line in the video that "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is "Amos and Andy, except with Jews." That is beautiful. I think that show takes the particular form of stereotyped American Jewish neurosis David developed on "Seinfeld" and takes to the next, more painful, level. Great piece, guys.
