Hello, assistant. I think I would like to maybe go to see a movie tonight, any ideas?
Well, that depends, what kind of movie would you like to see?
A good foreign film, or a documentary, or something funny but not stupid. A smart comedy.
There are a lot of highly rated domestic releases out now, what about something from the film festival downtown?
Sure! So are you recommending everything? Any independent films, something I haven't seen before?
Like I know everything you have seen before. There is a French romantic comedy about a cheese loving gypsy and an aristocratic British expat who meet in a fromagerie in Paris. It has subtitles.
Sounds funny, but maybe a little flaky, like a pastry. Possible. What about domestic releases?
There is a drama, with a multi generational international cast, about immigrants and old timers getting to know each other in New York City. It has some situational comedy. It's called "American Dreamers". It got a good review in The Post.
Not bad, getting warmer. Does it have a lot of violence?
No. Drama, but not violence. There is a psychological thriller as well, called "Ding Dong Banger Dame Tuesday".
No.
What? I'm sorry, did you not want to see "Ding Dong Banger Dame Tuesday"?
I said, "No".
I'm sorry.
That's OK. Any other ideas?
How about "Joker"?
I thought you were telling me about the films at the festival downtown.
Just a suggestion. What about "Where's My Roy Cohn?" That's a very good documentary, according to critics.
No, No, No.
I'm sorry.
What about the French film?
"Fromage a Deux", for you, then.
