  • ICE - Making Predictions
    A ICE - Making Predictions What do the lines, • “What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.” • “Sex without love is an empty gesture. But as empty gestures go, it is one of the best.” and, • “When I was in school, I cheated on my metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.” all have in common? The answer is that they were all conceived by writer, actor and director Woody Allen (see Figure 11. Born Allan Stewart Konigsberg on December 1, 1935, in Brooklyn New York, he adopted the name “Woody Allen” in 1952 - a year before graduating from high school. Allen enrolled in NYU and astonishingly (given his long and critically acclaimed career as a film maker) failed the class on motion picture production. After graduating from NYU, Allen made a career as a comedy writer for television programs such as “Your Show of Shows” starring Pat Boone (see Figure 22). Figure 1: Described as a “pale, bespectacled, 120 pound neurotic,” Woody Allen has written, directed or starred in (sometimes all of the above) more than 40 feature films during a career spanning almost than 40 years. 1 Image source: http://www.ibiblio.org/mal/MO/phlim/woody/ 2 Image source: http://pages.prodigy.net/dianamorris/feat1k.htm Allen made his first professional appearance as a comedian in 1960, and between 1964 and 1965 released three comedy albums that were enthusiastically received. Also in 1965, Allen’s first motion picture “What’s New, Pussycat” was released.
