Woody

There was a time when I enjoyed Woody Allen movies — their creativity and ribbing of the period's pop culture — like the scene in Annie Hall where he makes the rookie faux pas of sneezing into a stash of coke prior to snorting a line of the booger-sugar, or the sex education scene where he and his comrade sperms cells ponder their fate before being jettisoned into the unknown — finally, a movie where he's not miscast!

I admired his stick-to-it-iveness through criticism and ability to make movies at break-neck speeds. However, he started to grate as a leading man, always the misanthropic character spewing self-referential, self-pitying one-liners. And speaking of faux pas, it's impossible to get past his borderline criminal parenting behavior whereby he took advantage of Soon Yi Previn and Dylan, his adopted adolescent daughters.

The sausage: Step 1: create animated gifs, (posterize and recolor each frame). Step 2: Code the animation using HTML and CSS. Step 3: Soundtrack: create scrambled layers of narration, synced to lip movements.
