First of all, thank you Woody Allen, for making Blue Jasmine.
Thank you for highlighting the most dysfunctional of human relationships.
Thank you for making me laugh and cringe at the same time.
Thank you for putting some of my favorite people on the screen together.
But most of all,
Thank you for making a film set in San Francisco. No one uses city settings better than you. And the fact that I watched the movie in SF's 103-year-old Clay Theater made it even sweeter.
Although for the record, I could've used more sweeping panoramas of the bay and inside references (Cate Blanchett's snooty character uttering the address "305 South Van Ness" was enough to make everyone in the theater laugh).
