Calcutta Hookers' Kids Aren't Very Funny. And still...

I just watched an incredible documentary on a photographer who lives in an Indian brothel in Calcutta, and she befriends the kids and does all she can to try to help them get better lives for themselves. It was absolutely heartbreaking.

And still, the least-funny thing I've seen in the past 10 days is last week's Saturday Night Live.

While I'm at it, "Across the Universe" BLOWS as a movie. However, the soundtrack is more than stunning. Dana Fuchs...where did she come from, and why haven't I heard of her before? Oh, and I must of course give credit where it's due. Bono was absolutely hilarious as The Walrus, and Eddie Izzard was surreal as always. I LOVE that high-heel wearing Englishman! I love to speculate on what his home looks like.

But yeah. Buy the soundtrack to "Across the Universe." It's worth it.
