There were a few old Warner Bros cartoons that made reference to people in the audience. It seems like one had a silhouette of a guy getting up to leave so Yosemite Sam threatens or shoots him. The main thing I remember was being surprised that they ever showed cartoons in movie theaters. I knew some of them were made in the thirties or forties. I knew they didn't have TV then. Where did I think they were shown?
In Whatever Works, Larry David looks into the camera and speaks directly to the audience. Other people ask who he's talking to and he explains that there are people out there watching them. This might have been amusing in a theater, but I was in bed watching it on TV.
A southern family blossoms when, one by one, they come to New York. It made it look so easy. Ed Begley, Jr, as Evan Rachel Wood's concerned father who finally tracks her down might have been like Buddy Ebsen in Breakfast at Tiffany's if Buddy Ebsen had experienced a sexual awakening when he came to the big city.
Larry David was a little hard to take in it. He's mean to the children he teaches chess to. Woody Allen wrote the part long ago for Zero Mostel. I kept trying to picture him in the role.
