Christmas is Almost Over......

but I had to come and say I appreciate all your Christmas wishes, which warm my heart more than I can say. What can I do in return? Give you a movie tip:

GO SEE "THE PRODUCERS"!!

I have not laughed for 2 1/2 hours straight in a very long time, but this movie is one of the funniest I have ever seen. Nathan Lane is a wonder, as always, but for me the show was almost stolen by the guy who just got killed off "Desperate Housewives" (the pharmacist). He is so deliciously good in the role that I can be certain he will receive a nomination for the Oscar in a supporting role. Will Farrell is excellent also.

Caveat: if you are not fond of slapstick or musicals, don't bother. One needs to suspend reality as one enters the theater. Take tissues, as you are sure to laugh so hard you will need to wipe your eyes. Go to the bathroom before entering, so that you don't have to miss a minute (or risk wetting your pants).

This is truly the best present I could give all of you - so go - and enjoy!!

Will have to tell my brother and see if he wants to go. I think he saw them on Broadway.

We loved it too. I saw Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick on Broadway, and I've owned the original movie since it came out, so I'm a HUGE fan of the film and of Mel Brooks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Michele sent me.

When I go to the the movie theater, I invariably fall asleep - I can't help it. I fell asleep watching Batman with the kids during the climatic scenes. The girls had to wake me up because I was snoring so loud. But I only nodded off once for just a moment in the middle of this one. It was very funny.
