Delayed gratification
Jan. 25th, 2009 10:34 pmI lived in Naples for close to two years... I saw a lot of stuff, but never got to scale Vesuvius, even though it was in my backyard, so to speak.
I've heard every possible joke about Young Frankenstein and knew what it was about, but I had never seen the film itself all the way through... until today.
I watched it through, and when I got to the end, I was all "Well, that was cute, but what's all the big fuss about?".
Then I watched the special features, and saw how much fun the actors had while filming. And I couldn't stop chuckling.
Then this evening, I went and read the script, and it was even funnier than watching the movie. Some of the deleted scenes were the best clips in the whole film...
Now I know what all the fuss is about! Blucher! (Which does not mean "glue", BTW)
"Up yours, up yours, up yours, up yours..."
