Right now I'm sitting in my living room with my chihuahua watching a Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List marathon. How predictable.
As promised, I have some opinions on some books and movies I'd like to so generously share with you.
BRUNO: Originally I planned on seeing this movie at Chunky's--a movie theatre that doubles as a restaurant. They serve you food WHILE you watch the movie. Novel idea. I really wanted to see Bruno here because Chunky's encompasses 3 of my favorite things: going out to eat, going to the movies, and drinking in public (had I been allowed to write the score to The Sound of Music, I think My Favorite Things would have turned out very different and very inappropriate). In the end, I realized that the food at Chunky's is awful so instead I took in some gourmet cuisine from Wendy's and snuck it into a regular movie theatre... but I digress. Overall, I'd say that the movie is definitely worth seeing. I thought it was way better than Borat and the type of movie that no one has ever seen before. Sacha Baron Cohen is probably the most committed actor today. It's one thing to simulate sex acts on a ghostly member of Millie Vanillie (spelling? Can there be a correct spelling of a word that is not in an actual dictionary?) when the other people in the room are in on it, but to be able to do it without breaking in front of someone who's not an actor and thinks you are serious takes a lot more work. Parts of the movie were just there for shock value and really weren't necessary, but most of the movie was just a really genius political/social commentary mostly directed towards homophobia.
Wow, after all that I think I'm spent..back to Kathy Griffin. Happy Saturday.
