I just took 2 of my kids and a couple of their friends to a special screening of the film Hot Rod . I have a friend, who works for Lion's Gate, who gave me the passes.

It was a screwball comedy, but not the typical screwball comedy as it mocked itself throughout. Certainly, it wasn't a film that I would have paid to see, but I admit that I laughed out loud more than once. I know it had SNL comedians Chris Kattan and a guy named Sandberg, I believe, as the stars, but to tell you the truth, I couldn't tell you which was which. I probably should get to more movies.

Anyway, the friend at Lion's Gate, as part of her job, usually takes some of the actors and actresses out socially when they are in certain cities for premiers. The past couple of nights she has been hanging out in Philly with Peter Fonda, who apparently told her quite a few interesting stories about Marlon Brando. I'll pass them on when she tells me if anyone is interested.
