I also never saw Avatar. I think that's on my Twitter. How did you manage to avoid that? I don't go to movies that much because I just don't like them.

I don't like many. My son and his and four of his friends dragged me to this comedy. This was about three or four years ago and I was going to bring a book in a flashlight.

But it turned out to be so and the comedy was called Bad Grandpa and I sat there and I loved it. I laughed harder than with the hero.

Is it that bad grandpa? No, no bad. He did another grandpa. Oh, he does not grandpa. This is John.

This is bad grandpa with Johnny. Yes, really funny, really funny. And then the other one I saw and I just, you know, I have to say that I do like some things and bridesmaids I like.

So these are the comedies I liked. Otherwise, I don't think there's anything that really interests me about movies, but on TV, it's the impractical jokers who were all fans.

Yes, that's that's where we met. We met both on the cruise invited by the impractical jokers. That's right. And it was all gay cruise. So it was you and I were there and it was wonderful.

Did you have a better experience than Gilbert David? He was miserable evidently because he's alone now. Yes.

So anyways, and and you're a birthday boy. It's my birthday was my birthday on Monday. So along with Tim Robbins and Angela Landsbury.

Oh, she's 92 October 16th. Yeah, thank God. I'm not 92. Now we'll have to jump right ahead to the movie. Yes. That everybody knows. And that's a airplane.
