thehefnerSo tomorrow I shall be spending Christmas as I spend every Christmas: with my father over at the home of his ex-girlfriend Nita and her husband Larry. They're good people, his only friends, and they do far, far more for him than they really should, for some reason. Plus, they're both in denial about his alcoholism, there's that too.
After that, I'm thinking of going out and having myself a Jewish Christmas- Chinese food and then THE PRODUCERS. People are giving this film a lot of shit for being inferior to the original (it's not a remake, it's an adaptation of the broadway show, moron; it's a little less like comparing the films of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS), for being "too stagey" (who gives a fuck?), and for having dated humor (well fucking DUH. It doesn't hinder your enjoyment of the original, does it?). I'll post my own opinion soon enough.
Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are irreplaceable. Which is why I loved Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick for doing their own thing. WILLY WONKA was on last night, reminding me why I love Wilder so very, very much, and I really do hope he makes a cameo in there somewhere.
For now, I must endure the company of my grandmother's two friends, who do far, far more for her than they really should, for some reason.
