Wymyn

What can you do about Women? I was looking back at some old entries and I mentioned Jill Clayburg in her "last role." Turns out she had another role, in Bridesmaids, which was released almost two years after her death.

Bridesmaids is an extraordinary movie, but I haven't been able to figure out if it's because women don't mind seeing other women behave like men, or if it's because women behaving badly is truly funny. In this, I think the latter applies. The women in this great movie are truly funny, and not at the expense of men or husbands, as Joan Rivers used to do. The humor of this movie stems from what people (women) are willing to do for those that they care about. In Kristen Wiig's case, it's her best (or former best) friend. So it's kind of a lesbianesque story that doesn't involve lesbianism. Heterosexual romance that mostly involves sharing some carrots. And anonymous sex which involves only that Mad Men hunk with the giant cock.
