We saw stuff other than muddy hippies, of course. Ummm, let's see... Well, we re-saw Office Space, which is always entertaining. Stephen Root is just amazing in everything he does. He's a real chameleon, which doesn't look like it's spelled correctly, but it's not being flagged. The thing I most remember about it is "You put salt on my margarita. Big grains of salt." And (this has stuck with me all these years; why I don't know--who really wants to delve into the mind of Mojo, anyway?) the main guy (forget his name) gutting the fish at his desk by ripping the whole lower jaw off. I have never seen that technique before or since. Funny how Mojo's brain works like that. I could be there at the Grand Canyon (which I have never been yet) and in the face of all that apparent majesty I'll be the one trying to figure out how the railing is attached to the posts.

We also saw an old PBS special on vaudeville. Among the stars they interviewed was June Havoc, who might or might not ring a bell with you. *I* knew the name because I'm so smart. She was the "star" sister of Gypsy Rose Lee of Gypsy fame, you know, with Mama Rose and "Ev'rything's Comin' Up Roses" and Ethel Merman and all. The one who left the act to marry her costar. She apparently went on to make a comfortable living in the movies, so good on her. Both kids survived an interesting childhood with an, um, interesting mother. Gypsy Rose Lee always said the musical of Gypsy always rather flattered her mother and she was much meaner than what was portrayed. To which Mojo says "oooh!" and quietly thanks the powers that be that her own mother was a good deal less Mama Roseish than Mama Rose.

We also saw A River Runs Through It. That's about all I need to say about it. Don't get me wrong, Mojo loves fishing as much as the next gal who loves fishing, but (like baseball) she prefers to actually DO it than WATCH it. WATCHING people fish is rather like watching people .... uh .... do something boring to watch. Oh, and the hamfisted metaphor of Fishing as Life? Doesn't make it any more exciting. Plus Brad Pitt was in it, and he never ONCE took off his shirt. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? That I was watching to see the FISH? Okay, so Mojo actually likes to look at pretty fish, but it's really rather a waste of Brad Pitt to have him in a movie and not have him take off his shirt. I mean, geez, a relatively anonymous Brad Pitt without a shirt on was the only memorable thing I remember from Thelma and Louise, aside from the totally sucky ending. Yes, you heard me, people. And all those misguided idiots who think T&L are making some sort of Grand Feminist Statement? No. They're MORONS. The cover of the movie gushed about how it was so "life affirming". Uh, no. Killing yourself because People Treated You Bad is NOT life affirming. It's STUPID.

Now I've done it. Have a good weekend, people. Try not to drive your car purposefully off a cliff, okay?
