Just watched

This just happened to insert itself into my (semi-)random nighttime viewing. I’ve loved it for years. It’s about the funniest movie containing a major subtext of alcohol and drug abuse that you can find out there. But it’s funny on many other tracks, too. (I’m just geared in to the alcohol abuse aspect of it right now.)

And also on top of that, the film was the first for two men who went on to become excellent and well-known actors … Paul McGann and Richard E. Grant, whose final “What a piece of work is man!” soliloquy ought to go down as one of the best contemporary renditions of the piece.

Just go watch it, will you?
