This post is my entry for IndieWeb Movie Club #007.

Propriety? Noun. Conformity to established standards of behavior or manners, suitability, rightness, or justice. See “etiquette.” - Judy

I had never heard of this film before Joe recommended it in the IndieWeb Chat sometime last year. I promptly watched it as I realized I had not seen many films starring Barbra Streisand and I felt I had to fix that.

The first time I watched it I found myself playing close attention to the plot and the bags. I wanted to follow what everyone was doing and how exactly they would resolve it. This time I ignored the plot to focus more on the jokes. There were so many little reactions and background sounds that I completely missed the first time.

Sometimes knowing where the joke ends makes the joke even funnier. As soon as Fritz (not Hans) tells the other guy to stop Mrs Van Hoskins with his "charm", it all played once in my head and again on screen. This happened again with the chase sequence. And as soon as the judge showed up, I officially could not stop laughing just remembering his lines and delivery.

Thanks Joe for hosting this month's IndieWeb Movie Club as well as for recommending this originally.

I never had a Pocket Camera so a lot of these are new to me as I've only had Gameboy Cameras. I still remember the joy of finding the first of the B-Album images and other easter eggs.

It's hard not to compare this to A Real Pain.

I did like what this had to say about the anxieties of becoming a parent. I just wish we heard a bit more from Kristen Stewart and Maya Erskine's characters.

I've used a few other ASCII diagram tools but this has some advanced features that I could really use next time.
