Mmm, let's see. I thought Play It Again Sam was pretty funny. That was
around 1974. That's a movie that the first time I saw it I sat in the
theatre and wondered what everyone was laughing at. The second time I saw
it on television, I laughed so hard tears actually ran down my cheeks.
Then I saw it a third time and I was back to the first time. Same thing
with Blazing Saddles. First time, death. Second time, hysterical.

Actually, I think I have a pretty good sense of humor. Over the years
things that I used to think were funny aren't funny anymore. But I love
comedies. The problem with comedies is they're soooo bad most of the time.
>OF COURSE there has to be brunt,
Why? Why does humor have to be at somebody's expense? It's one thing to
laugh at one's self. It's an act of aggession to laugh at somebody else.
The laugh as evolved roar idea.

Nobody, because nobody was in it. I did get a link from a friend that I
thought was pretty good. It's in my other computer. It's too late now.
Next time I turn it on, I'll send it.
