Okay, I know that several of our friends enjoyed THE ARISTOCRATS in the theater, so we decided to rent it on DVD. Sorry, but we were only to able to make it through the first 17 minutes before we decided we were done. It wasn't so much the language as it was the beating of the dead horse; hearing about the circumstances of people's "first time" was interesting, but after we learned the joke and people started riffing on it, it quickly became boring. I didn't think the joke concept was itself very funny, so how many variations can you hear of the same joke before it moves from interesting to an academic exercise to blah? Not too many, it turns out, when the whole point of the telling is to see just how over the top you can be with concepts as offensive as possible. Just not our style, I guess, but then I don't care for jazz music, either.
