Two things:

First - Is there anyone alive who honestly thinks email fwds are funny at all, or even worth looking at?  I'm just curious, because I'm absolutely not one of them.  In fact, I'm the opposite. 

Secondly - I saw The Savages and I really appreciated it.  In my opinion, as far as Philip Seymour Hoffman goes, he never does wrong.  But Laura Linney!   She ruins movies for me.  She almost ruined The Truman Show.  I don't know what it is about her.  She just rubs me the wrong way. But not this time.  For the first time ever, she was my favorite thing about The Savages.  

I'm trying to remember who directed it....  oh yeah, Tamara Jenkins.  Didn't she also direct Fugitive Love?  I think so, but I'm not sure.
