Just Put Me In A Wheelchair And Get Me To The Show
My first “legitimate” review for the site. Actually something that is in the theatres! I’m pretty psyched about it. You probably won’t be able to see it, because I had a bitch of a time finding it, and I live in fucking Los Angeles. Dredge the arthouses, peoples.
My grandmother worked at McDonalds for over 40 years, getting a ride from one of my aunts or riding the bus to the store at 5 AM every morning to open and to serve people with a smile. She worked there right up until she was too weak to handle it, and it wasn’t the fraility of old age that knocked her down, but leukemia. My grandmother wedged a wiffle ball in a chain link with an underhand speed pitch, she beat my brother at basketball by dribbling in and shooting layups because she knew he was too pussy to throw a pick. She snuck us into line to buy movie tickets, literally shuffling in front of people who were standing there. When I called her on it, she said, “What are they going to do? I’m old.” She accidentally called Fuddrucker’s Ruddfuckers.
Old people can be pretty fucking awesome. So long as they aren’t driving in front of me.
I just saw the movie at the County, I am so glad I did. And would love to have breakfast with Lenny…as long as I was driving.
