DISAPPOINTED!!!

This is a classic line from a Fish Called Wanda. That is one of my all-time favorite comedies that I got to see with my Dad when I was visiting Mass as a kid. Those that know me know I don't have much of a relationship with my Dad but watching this movie with him stands out as one of my best memories. I love Monty Python and it included some of the cast and much of their humor, but Kevin Kline stole the show. As Otto he played the perfect combination of a moron, thief, sex crazed lunatic, he was very bad with the Italian language and driving in Italy, and most importantly don't call him stupid. If you've never seen the movie rent it now, you won't be disappointed. There's a great scene after they had stolen a bunch of money that they came back to the getaway and it was all gone. All he did was jump in the air, kick the wall, and yell out "DISAPPOINTED!"

He was hilarious in In and Out as a gay man and in Soap Dish as a soap opera star way, way, way past his prime (you will never forget the gig he had in glorious Florida in the retirement home), great in Dave (he played the President as a non-politician perfectly but if only he got the girl and she wasn't Sigourney Weaver), and who can ever forget his stab at dramatic acting in the wife-swapping turned murder movie Consenting Adults. The ultimate fantasy turned into a murder plot, and you're the accused. Anyway tonight I have only one point, and that's that I feel like Otto right now when he found out the loot was gone that they had stolen, "DISAPPOINTED!"

I had a bad night but tomorrow will be a better day. Maybe I'll rent A Fish Called Wanda after I get back from Lane's brother's funeral. It will be my first since Hope passed, please send me strength. Per my last blog, please shoot me an e-mail or post a comment if you read this. I'm dying to know who is and I've already found a few people I would have never guessed.
