A Prairie Home Companion

Dizz and her friend Sarah and I went to see A Prairie Home Companion last night (at Arc again - beertastic). It's Robert Altman's last film, which I didn't realise until I got there. Great cast - my favourite was GK (somebody Keillor) whose voice I recognised but couldn't place initially, then I realised he does the voice-overs for the groovy honda adverts. You know the ones - 'hate something, change something, make something betterrrrrr' and 'more forwards please'. Great voice.

I'd recommend it if you fancy a gentle comedy. Sarah wasn't impressed with the ending though, apparently she needs some sort of resolution in an ending. I tried to tell her what happened next, but she thought I was making it up! Tcha! She decided to invent her own ending instead and gave the story a nice little moral as well. She was much happier. Bless.

Dizz seems to think I have very bad taste in jokes, just because I laughed at some from the film. Now, those jokes were funny. Listen, here's one: a truck-load of Viagra has been stolen; the police are looking for hardened criminals. That's funny! Isn't it? OK, another one: God created woman with 3 breasts: she didn't want the middle one and asked God 'What can we do with this useless tit?' and God created man. You have to laugh at that one. No? Nyeh.
