Meep’s Musings

A while ago, I already drew your attention to “Gray matters”, a romantic comedy about “a sister, a brother and the girl of their dreams”. Now that I’ve finally seen it, of course I can’t keep myself from commenting on the matters at hand (sorry for bad pun!) - SPOILERS!

Sadly, Loriot’s partner in crime, Evelyn Hamann, a very popular German actress and comedienne, has passed away on Monday. In memoriam her great talent, have the “Die 2 Cousinen” clip (even if you aren’t German, give it a try, it’s fantastic).

12chen has sent me “Blackadder 2″ on DVD *huggles 12chen* - guess what marathon I’m beginning right now :D.

At home “The Court Jester” (1956) on DVD was waiting for me. A friend of mine had recommended it to me and that person was so right, the movie is really funny of the silly kind, that is, a bit like “The Naked Gun” et al. Throw in some songs, actors who obviously enjoy uttering lines like “The pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true” and wearing costumes that any self-respecting interior decorator would burn right away and you get a laugh-out-loud comedy. Plus I finally got to see Angela Lansbury in something else than “Murder, She Wrote” ;). Such a coincidence that Danny Kaye, who played the jester, has had a birthday just two days ago - I love it when things happen like that, hehe.

A friend of mine has borrowed me his “Illusive tracks”-DVD (Swedish with English subtitles, tack!), and I almost fell off my chair watching it again, it was so rofl :D. As said before, if you ever get the chance to catch it, do so - it’s absolutely hilarious :D!
