Laughing

Just typing that word in the subject title, made me think of the Guess Who song. I haven't heard that tune in probably 15 years. I just think I've gotten to a point in my life where any word someone says, my first thought is a song that involves that word.

We should try it. Anyone responding to this, put a word out there...And I'll tell you the song that first comes to mind.

Anyway...I saw Burn After Reading for a second time tonight. My girlfriend hadn't seen it.

I had seen it with a few friends, and it's good enough that I didn't mind giving it a second viewing.

But geez, the audience was a bunch of idiots (if you were at Hazard Center at 7:45 p.m....I'm talking about you).

No, they didn't talk on the cell phone. There was a woman asking her husband a bunch of questions, but she did it quietly.

But there's a scene (no spoiler alert needed) when someone gets shot. And, five different people in the theatre laughed.

Another scene, where someone gets an ax in the head (the song that just jumped into my mind now, is Pink Floyds "Careful with that ax, Eugene).

Now, that probably sounds gross to you, an ax going to a guys head. Well, it's even yuckier in the movie. Yet, a few in the crowd laughed.

Why can't idiots realize, there are dark comedies. That doesn't mean you laugh at inappropriate behavior. You laugh when Brad Pitt is trying to read an item, and pronounces words wrong.

And why does anyone watch the Chelsea Handler show? There's nothing funny about it, other than the guests she gets. Kevin Nealon was great, as always. I liked seeing Jim Norton and Jeffrey Ross.

But her books are best-sellers. She has the #1 show on E!

Yet, she has no talent in the humor department.

If you don't believe me, Tivo an episode or two.

I guess her making fun of her midget sidekick is supposed to be funny. Or, always joking about how much she drinks.

Okay. Whatever.

She's making more money than me...so, what do I know?
