re: more on metafiction ... watched Annie Hall last night. i can see why it got all the oscars. it made me giggle. a lot. i like woody allen. it's okay when woody allen makes movies about movies (or when vonnegut writes about writing) because they aren't asking to be taken seriously. if Army of Darkness took itself seriously, it'd be awful. when woody allen takes himself seriously he isn't funny any more and loses large parts of his charm.

i can't remember reading something in which vonnegut is really, really taking himself seriously. he's ironic and satirical (i wish satyrical was a word, don't you?) and writes about serious things, certainly, but ...

know what my favorite part of the movie is? when woody allen says annie hall's family is like norman rockwell. 'cuz i'd never seen this movie before. but i've mentioned to m how his family is ...
