Kim C, I didn't mean to disparage Blazing Saddles, although I don't really know how to enjoy it. The pace is odd, slow, the jokes knock and wipe their feet before entering. The racial terms seem at best un-necesary to the do the jokes. I wanted suggest that it's a little unfair to lump newer risky comedies that might easily offend someone. It's nothing new, or peculiar to movies that young people tend to like. Or maybe I like the newer stuff better, but who the hell am I, anyway. I'm afraid I find very awful things pretty funny. I thought Adaptation was hilarious. Storytelling is a serious movie in many ways, but it's also a scream.

   I liked Raising Arizona quite a bit. Did I mention I like Holly Hunter? I like Holly Hunter.

   I always enjoyed the python show more than the movies. The show seemed more exhuberant, not having to tie things together, and when it went on too long the foot would come down. I missed the foot, in the movies.

   I don't usually think movies about sexy stuff are very sexy. Some of the old rock and roll dance footage is pretty sexy to me, it's so sweet, physical, silly, and fun.

   Raging Bull is my wife's saddest movie, I proudly relate. It could be mine. But Camille Claudel is up there to. Death of a Salesman. There are some good ones.
