MOVIEUNDERGOING

The old joke about “When my mother is cold, she tells me to put a sweater on,” applies to Perlmutter, who decrees that when she finds something funny in a movie that others should laugh.

If this point of view were not so arrogant it might be funny. I wonder if she will laugh at this small rhyme addressed to her:

What you find funny others may not,

To laugh when you don’t is no sign of plot,

Your sense of humor, I think you forgot,

We’re all of us different and for that

I thank Godt
