This is so very show and not tell

Ok, so mostly I just want to get that giant wasp off the top of my blog, but also I really love the film Annie Hall, and it's been ages since I watched it.

One of the bits I love best is the lobster scene, not only because it's a really funny scene, but because of later, when Alvie and Annie start to see other people: Alvie has a date with another woman and gets the lobsters out again only this time it's not funny at all. It's this great moment where he sees what he's lost.

This is a great little clip - it's got the first lobster scene plus the follow up.

OH, hey T! I've done that before, just needing to get something off the top of the blog. What better thing than Annie Hall! I'm just shocked at how young they both look!

I so agree. I love this movie. I recently put a clip of Christopher Walken from it in my Twilight post, I love it so much. Now will have to think of a use for the lobster clip...
