There’s only one person who could have not only written but also delivered last week’s Famous Last Words quote (““Sex and death- two things that come once in a lifetime. But at least after death you’re not nauseous.”) That man, of course, is Woody Allen, and the line comes from his early, funny classic Sleeper. It’s the perfect capper to one of his better straight-up comedies, an inspired futuristic pastiche that places Woody 200 years in the future, where the people are beholden to a mysterious Leader and sexual pleasure comes courtesy of The Orgasmitron (it would make an ideal double feature with Zardoz). The film contains some of Allen’s best sight gags, such as the sequence in which he disguises himself as a robot, albeit one with horn-rimmed glasses. And as one reader pointed out, that final line points the way toward Allen’s next film, Love and Death. Congrats to those who guessed it.
Here’s this week’s quote:
“Who’s gonna hold your hat?”
