Luna Schlosser: I absolutely do not want to hear about it, Herald. This world is so full of wonderful things. What makes people suddenly go berserk and hate everything anyway. I mean, why does there have to be an underground? After all, there's the orb, and there's the telescreen, and there's the Orgasmatron. What more do they want?

Herald Cohen: It's hard for us to understand the criminal element. We're artists. We respond only to beauty.

Annie Hall made me love her and hate Woody Allen.

God, she was so good in Annie Hall. Of everything she did and I saw, that role has to be my absolute favorite. Another tremendous loss.

She was so good in The Sleeper by Woody Alan.

She's good in everything I've ever seen her in. Her style (on rom-coms) may not appeal to everyone, but she was an absolute stellar actress and will be remembered on many all-time lists.

How does nontechnical TV and movie celebrity news gratify one's intellectual curiosity?

Legit I have no clue why I’m seeing news of a run-of-the-mill celebrity’s death on HN.
