Zip finally saw fit to mail us The Aristocrats (imdb | rotten tomatoes), so of course we watched it right away. I’ve wanted to see it since it came out, and I’ve been interested in the story ever since I read the article about Gilbert Gottfried telling the joke at the Friars’ Club five years ago. In addition to the entertaining (if you don’t mind inestimably foul humour) story, you get the laughs one would expect from so many great comedians being on the screen at the same time. Among the best: the now-famous filth of Bob Saget, Sarah Silverman’s personal twist and Kevin Pollak’s imitation of Christopher Walken telling the joke.

We also watched The Interpreter (imdb | rotten tomatoes), which wasn’t bad. A few goofy parts, a few weak points in the plot, but overall it was a decent enough flick. It’s hard for Sean Penn and Catherine Keener to be bad in anything, really.
