Buzz Lines: What's Your Favorite Quote From Annie Hall?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 12:15:18 PST

Woody Allen has written and directed dozens of films, including the recent Midnight in Paris, but one of my all-time favorite Allen films has got to be 1977's Annie Hall. Despite the fact that it was made more than 30 years ago, I've found myself watching and re-watching the romantic comedy that chronicles the love story between the neurotic Alvy Singer and Annie Hall, and still chuckling over the hilarious lines that each character delivers. Check out a few of my favorite lines from the film, and then share yours in the comments below!

"Hey, don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love." - Alvy
"La-di-da, la-di-da." - Annie
"I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light." - Alvy

Welcome to Buzz Brainteaser, the trivia feature on BuzzSugar! Every weekday I'll test your knowledge about TV shows, music, and movies. If you enter in the correct answer, you win points! In Annie Hall, what is the first song Annie (Diane Keaton) sings at the night club?

Fabcon: Diane Keaton

How many actresses can say that a single movie role they played spawned a whole fashion movement? Playing Annie Hall was so natural for Diane Keaton, her personal style reflects what Annie would wear today, were she real. Yes, Diane has made a few fashion faux pas, but what risk-taker hasn't? If you don't take risks in fashion, you can't be in the running for a style icon. What's more, when Kate Moss is inspired by your style, you know you've got something special going on.

What attracts me to Diane's personal style is her ability to pull off androgynous looks with utter sophistication - like no other woman in Hollywood. She found a fashion genre that works for her, so she's stayed endlessly true to it. Not many fashion insiders have that much loyalty to one style. And I'm not the only one who sings Diane's praises; Rachel Bilson, who often dabbles with the boy-meets-girl style, looks up to her, too:

"Diane Keaton always stays true to herself, stylewise, which I admire so much. And I love her menswearish Annie Hall-era outfits," she said in Lucky Magazine's March issue.

I'm so glad Diane was chosen to portray Annie Hall, because in the hands of another actress, who knows if the menswear trend would live on so strongly today!

The Results Are In: Recast Annie Hall

BuzzSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:30:14 PST

Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

Wow, this week's recast challenge for Annie Hall prompted tons of awesome entries. I wish I could choose 10 winners - it was nearly impossible to pick just one. I especially loved allenorton's idea of John Cusack as Alvy paired with Zooey Deschanel as Annie. I also got a huge kick out of sfmastiffmom's Stephen Colbert and Tina Fey combo. Some of my favorite Alvy ideas were bart simpson's Creed Bratton from The Office (it's just funny), katie_c's Tony Shahloub and alethe16's Paul Giamatti.

And finally, because it's Super Tuesday, I have to give a special shout-out to janneth for her Hilary-Obama combination (with the genders reversed). That pretty much made my day.

I finally had to make a decision, however, and I went with coolgurl24's recast list! To see who coolgurl24 picked and a new cast photo,

These two are almost exactly the same ages that Woody Allen and Diane Keaton were when Annie Hall came out. Woody was 42, Diane was 31. Rainn Wilson is 42 and Amy Adams is 33.

coolgurl24's cast:
Annie - Amy Adams
Alvy - Rainn Wilson

Androgynous

Used in fashion as a "look" of a female resembling a male. Popularized by actress Diane Keaton in the 1970's movie Annie Hall, and copied as fashion apparel.

Kate Bosworth and Amanda Peet recently went androgynous at New York Fashion Week.

Hermès Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 16:36:18 PST

With a nod to South American dressing, Christophe Lemaire crafts a wearable collection of delivered strong outerwear - even capes and blanket-like ponchos were elevated with Hermès's quintessential luxe for Fall 2012. Relaxed staples were reimagined in sophisticated detail - leather layered in chubby fur, leather gaucho pants, leather capes, and loose velvet tops and dresses. Dressed-down got a decidedly dressier edge, but only really in its fabrication. As a whole, silhouettes were oversize; the vibe was decidedly more androgynous with masculine tailoring dominating throughout and inspiring images of Annie Hall's slouchy suiting. That's not to say there was no refinement here – Hermès's girl may not do frills, but she's certainly not without polish: cocoon coats crafted in rich color, swathed in suede, and finished with a touch of leather were steeped in Hermès luxe.

Trends: Menswear, leather, ponchos, fur, prints, velvet, gaucho pants.
Colors: Navy, gray, black, red, teal, orange, olive.
Key Look: The front-zip cocoon coat feels impeccably chic.
Accessories: Wide leather belts, tall leather boots, fedoras, long black leather gloves.
Who Would Wear It: The girl who favors luxe without frills.

Penelope Focuses on Her Latest Role as a Previous Project Gets Retitled

Katie Henry — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 10:17:07 PDT

Penelope Cruz made a low-key arrival to the Rome set of Venuto al Mondo yesterday. She got a good-luck kiss on the forehead from director Sergio Castellitto then took her mark in front of the cameras. This is Penelope's second project to shoot in Italy this year; earlier this Summer, Penelope teamed up again with Woody Allen for his Bop Decameron. Since production wrapped, Woody's film's title has been changed to Nero Fiddled. Woody Allen explained changing Bop Decameron's title saying, "I couldn't believe how few people had heard of The Decameron even in Rome, and the few that did assumed the movie was based on Boccaccio's tales, which it's not. Anyhow, I changed the title to Nero Fiddled, which is the first time I've changed a title since my last-minute switch of Anhedonia to Annie Hall."

Olivia Palermo Makes Wearing a Tie Sexy

Noria Morales — Wed, 18 May 2011 10:20:49 PDT

Mens suiting has been done before - hello, Annie Hall, and Julia Roberts in that Golden Globes outfit - but Olivia Palermo gets the proportions all right in her casually sexy suit. She pairs skinny cropped pants and a boyfriend blazer over a white blouse and loose tie, but adds feminine touches like the jeweled tie clip and clear clutch, and sexy leopard pumps. The overall effect is casual, fun, surprisingly sexy. The notion of menswear for evening just became a lot more attractive.
