No, friends, I really have seen all of those movies. I think that maybe because I am Jewish I just don’t get it, but I have other Jewish friends who think he’s funny. Really, I just find it crass and and just... Not good. Love Marx Brothers, adore other directors that clearly influenced him... But I just don’t, ummm, find him funny at all.
(and please forgive me for hijacking this perfectly good thread with my inane and useless movie comments.)
