That was weird

Just finished watching 19 Months courtesy of the Lethbridge Film Society. Movie was pretty funny in that quirky Canadian way, similar to Made in Canada, The Newsroom, and that one on Parliament Hill ( I forgot the name). Damn it, Canada makes funny shit, but unfortunately, the CBC can't compete with I want A Famous Face.

Anyways, the weird thing was that the film locked and melted with like 2 minutes to go. That's never happened to me before, and damn does it go quick. for a moment, most of us thought it was some sort of weird, post-modern artsy twist ending. And then the lights came up. So, if you've seen the last two minutes of 19 Months, lemme know how it goes.

Also watched Duck Soup in class today. I have never seen a Marx brothers film before, so it was pretty neat. Lots of old, bad jokes. Also some racist ones that would never fly anytime since 1960. But, that's the way things were. It's easy to see how this film influenced later physical comedy, particularly the "Mirror Scene".

God, now I need to write a journal entry on each. Man, schoolwork gets annoying fast.
