Wow, I can barely remember individual sound bites, forget entire
movies! Did you really think Best in Show and especialy a Mighty Wind
were funny? I think they were both too realistic to be funny. Fred
Willard is always funny, and in both he was the only thing that was
truly laugh out loud funny. The rest of both movies seemed too true to
life to be funny. Except for Ed Begley Jr.'s Yiddish-spouting Swede,
which was so absurd that I couldn't pay attention to what he was saying.
I saw the Westminster Dog Show on TV shortly after seeing Best in Show,
back in the days when I had cable, and the movie seemed almost spot-
on. I do plan to see For Your Consideration, which I think is coming
out around Christmas. Entertainment Weekly, one of my 9 magazines (as
you know by now) had a fall movie preview with way more information
than I could possibly absorb in a week about movies for the next 4
months, so I got a heads up. It's about a movie that is unexpectedly
in the running for an oscar or something like that. A movie about a
movie.
