guppiecatSo, as I was sorting books from the book sale, I put on Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World, which I was expecting to be a framing sort of movie that really serves to highlight international variations of stand-up comedy. It wasn't. Instead, it was the kind of comedy that approaches funny in an asymptotic way. In fact, I can't bring myself to review it, so I asked my big orange cat to do it for me.
Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World
A review by my big orange cat
The movie opens with boring people talking on the screen, but there were new boxes on the floor, so it was OK. The boxes smelled interesting and had books inside that I hadn't sat on yet! I sniffed everything, and as the boxes were emptied, I climbed inside each box to make sure that it was just as boxlike inside as it was outside. Then the TV people were crammed into a small space with lots of other TV people. They don't smell interesting, so I looked outside at the birds instead.
The monkey needs to put more black seeds in the bird landing place, 'cause there aren't many birds there anymore.
Then the little white box got emptied, and I climbed inside that, even though I'm much too big to do such things anymore. The monkey thinks I got stuck, but I didn't. I meant it to look like that. Once I got out, the people were in India where there were lots more boring people. If I were them, I would have stayed in the US, where the people are just as boring, but there are fewer of them. People are annoying.
I jumped on the monkey's lap, but there was a book there. It had maps in it. I made the book go away and fell asleep for a while.
Once I woke up, the TV people were still in India, or maybe it was Pakistan. I don't know which because the map book went away. I went into the kitchen to NOM some food and knock things off the table. That was fun.
THEN THERE WAS A SQUIRREL IN THE BIRD LANDING PLACE! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!
Oh yeah, the people were still in India, for some reason.
Then I chased my sister all through the house. I cornered her in the hallway and the monkey came to rescue her, which was completely unnecessary, 'cause I wasn't going to hurt her, much. Stupid monkey.
Then the TV people were in the United States again and then the screen went black with little words crawling around on it. The monkey wouldn't let me chase them, so I went to sit in the sunshine.
I give the movie three stars. I liked the birds and the squirrel, but they were in India FOREVER and there were no tigers. What's up with that? Also, it needed more fish.

I agree, BOC! No tigers and not enough fish = 3 stars, no more.
