If ever there was a line from the movie that could serve as its subtitle, that's it. I watched the movie this past summer on a transatlantic flight for the first time in 20 years. With earphones and the screen only inches from my face, I watched it with a focus I never had before. It was funnier than I remembered.

Rob Reiner's Marti DiBergi has got to be Martin Scorsese. There's a moment in his rockumentary "The Last Waltz" where Scorsese's asks Levon Helm a question that never needed asking. Marty's nerdy self came shining through. That's who Reiner was channeling, I think.
