Movie night
For movie night recently, M. picked out a couple good ones. We started with March of the Penguins, which was great, even if it made me cry my head off. Recommended! I know everyone says that, but seriously. It is really good. I only wish I was still fluent in French, so that I could watch it with the original narration. But I suppose it’s just as well — apparently the French narration is done from the point of view of the penguins, which might have been a bit much. Any case, Mr. Freeman did a fine job with what he had to work with in the English version.
Next up: The Aristocrats. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!! So many funny things in this movie. Especially going in with no expectations — I hadn’t ever heard of it before. The Sarah Silverman bit was one of the best ones — and I’m not just saying that because she was on Star Trek, either. I had no idea she was so funny. And, she’s done voice work on ATHF! Imagine that! Anyway, the movie was so awful and so funny and surprising, and, and, sort of educational. Educational about what funny people think is funny. Recommended for any grownup with a strong stomach and a flexible sense of humor.
