sacramentalistWatched the documentary on National Lampoon's Doug Kenney, "A Futile and Stupid Gesture". I can't complain about the weird pace, because I spent more much time reading Wikipedia entries while pausing than enjoying the darn film. Kenney is the co-creator of the Lampoon and co-wrote Animal House and Caddyshack before dying.
There were a few moments where I thought "hey, that was clever" and then a lot of "Argh! I hate coke-heads."
It's hard to grasp the nostalgia for the 70's -- a decade I barely remember. I guess I'll have to focus on Ready Player One.
One thing of note: Thomas Lennon as Michael O'Donoghue was wonderful. I'd love to see a film of just him.
