only love can save me and...*

Hehe, no, it really hasn't, but I thought it was time to get a bit more dramatic. Here I am some time ago being a much younger, moodier, crop haired (having recently lost a bet to my brother in-law and had to forfeit my locks - it was either that or swim in potentially shark-infested waters), actor.

Anyway, a couple of Woody Allen films I have seen recently have been interesting to me at this time, and pertinent to my life I suppose. (Yeah, I'm sure I'm not the first to say that about a Woody Allen film).
In Annie Hall - Allen's character Alvy and his "musing about how love and relationships are something we all require despite their often painful and complex nature." [yep, wiki puts it better than I ever could].

Anyway, the coolest thing about this film (apart from the line about Hollywood being so clean 'cos they turn all their rubbish into television shows - [Thanks A.], oh, and Diane Keaton's outfits) is the following conjoinulation from Alvy at the cocktail party with publisher's and other media types (if I remember correctly) -

Alvy says: I'm so tired of spending evenings making fake insights with people who work for Dysentery.
Robin says: Commentary.
Alvy says: Oh, really, I heard that Commentary and Dissent had merged and formed Dysentery.

Ok, so it's got nothing to do with love and relationships, but it's very good - especially good how two words and the spelling changed to make a new but established word - very sly!
