Apparently someone won best oscar for a Docu.

I’m watching “Waiting for Superman,” right now, I’m only about 20 minutes in, this is my third break from watching it.

I’m a sentimentalist, but I ain’t bad at keeping my demeanor. This Movie, just 20 minutes in so far, is effing HEARTWRENCHING!

I will write a review sometime in the next week, I know a lot of people have already seen it, but part of what’s tearing me up is some of the background imagery, having to do with culture and other things. I need to get all of the, “Oh my god” out of my system, in rewatches before I go full bore.

On’y 1/6th the way into the movie, I already know, it’s must see. It’s shredding my soul just this far in, and I don’t have any kids, just a lot of relatives who are lil’lil’n's.

I hope Viv does a better job whenever she gets around to writing her “Decision Points,” review, cuz I might effing lose it.

SMC (not really, but it has a “clown.”)

Red Skelton is one of the most famous comedians and clowns of all time, he’s from the middle Indiana area, so I think most kids around here, even now know who he is, even though they are almost 2 generations removed from anyone who actually saw one of his performances in person or on television live.

He started out as a clown, became a quite famous vaudevillian (like most clowns and vaudevillians of the time. Vaudeville and Clowning was high comedy back then.) and then with his fame he also started clowning a little more to reach a childrens audience. clem Freddy the Freeloader was a little bit adult, in that it depicts a drunk speaking “logic” when it was just round about excusing, like WC Fields used to do.

Here is one vid of Red, working with movie greats, people so great that you might call them “Thespians.”  Freddy The Freeloader makes friends with Raymond Burr.

If you want another one, Here he is with Vincent Price, as Clem Kaddidlehopper (one of his most famous characters.)

On top of being an endearing vaudevillian, and clown and personality.

He was also a patriot who didn’t just play a clown who could cry, but could make you cry with him.

[update:]meant to say freddy, but I said clem. derr.
