Hubby and I went to the show tonight. Him being a guy and all, we went to see

The Three Stooges. I spent most of the movie watching the three little boys sitting a few seats over. They were laughing and giggling like little girls, having a great time. I think I enjoyed that more than hubby enjoyed the movie. It's nice hearing children laugh and having fun.

Was really impressed when, at the end, the producers (I think) came on and explained to the "kids in the audience" that all the stunts were done by professionals and the "tools" were rubber (hammer and such). They showed them about how the camera and sound effects made it look real.I give them kudos for that!

"not pleasant to look at" and had actors deliver the message at the end. I learned that nugget listening to a fantastic interview with them on a NPR radio station.

...were Chippendale dancers... or could have been. Including shaven torsos, 6-pack glistening abs, and popping pecs.

Too bad these days we have to tell kids it's pretend. Hell they even do it for adults with car commercials. Like don't climb on a trailer hauling cars while in motion. Or jump your car from building to building. How did we survive all this time without the safety police. I know there's always been copycats, but it's extreme now. I remember reading about a time when the 1950's Superman George Reeves said there was a man who wanted to shoot him to see the bullets bounce off of him. So I guess they've always been there.

As a little girl, I loved the Three Stooges! I always liked boyish humor the best. It wasn't the plot that was interesting for me; it was the anticipation of their physical comedy. Curly was my (& many others') favorite.

I do want to see the new movie. I saw a clip somewhere online & it looked surprisingly good.
