Anhedonic?
Went with a bunch of friends to see Annie Hall in Grant Park … while everyone liked the movie and thought it was funny (I think), noone seemed to relate to it and love it like I do - to think it was real life, only funnier… do I know too many neurotic New Yorkers (or almost-New Yorkers), who love intellecual masturbation and can’t handle relationships??
Note: Anhedonia was the working title of the film, and means a clinical condition where you don’t get joy from normaly pleasurable events. Wonder what it’s called when someone doesn’t see the value in joy…

What do you mean intellectual masturbation? Listen, Death is important, okay - it’s the only real, for certain thing in the universe (well, except for Groucho Marx, of course). Think of it as the ultimate in parking slots.
Also, I think saying Allen’s character can’t handle relationships is overstating it - it’s just that he’s inevitably attracted to unstable, neurotic women with a tendency towards hysteria and a need for emotional dependence. That’s hardly my…err…his fault.
