how was the artistocrats? i need to see that.

Poppy said...

It was interesting. It's hard to laugh at the same joke over and over and over again, but somehow they make you do it anyway. It's all about the tone. And, Gilbert truly is the best aristocrats joke teller of all time. :)

Elizabeth Tarney said...

I felt the same about The Aristocrats. Interesting. Gilbert was hysterical. I loved the Mime, and Bob Saget scares the hell out of me. Who knew Mr. Dorky Full House dad could be so nasty?

How was Flightplan?

Why, Lil, thanks for asking! I don't even have to make anything up! Here's a link to my review of the movie. At least I got to know Peter Sarsgaard?
