Mort Sahl - The Loyal Opposition

[MortSahlFan]

This is only going to be available for one week.

Before Bob Weide directed, "Curb Your Enthusiasm", he made this brilliantly made documentary. Up until now, it had only broadcast once on PBS (and was the documentary Bill Hicks mentioned before HE passed away). After I first met and talked with Mort, I asked why this hadn't been made available, and Mort said that Bob hadn't cleared all of the sources, thus not making it available for distribution.

This is the first time I've watched it in its entirety. It's funny, moving, and inspiring.

Those who ridicule his death, his life, (or mine) only discredit themselves.

Thanks for this - I've wanted to see this for some time. If it's anything like Weide's Lenny Bruce doc, it'll be a fine watch indeed.

And, also, I'm very sorry for your loss. He obviously meant a great deal to you (even without realizing you knew him personally), and, though being active and sharp-witted right up to the end, especially if that end is age 94, is nothing to feel sad about, a passing like that still hurts, I'm sure. RIP MS.

Yeah, thank you so much. I really, really do appreciate it. I lost my first 1st cousin, my uncle, and my grandmother in the last 12 months,  but this has hurt me the most. I say it here because I can't say this on social media for friends/family to read. But it's just the way I feel, but I've been a fan for over 21 years, and knew him, talked with in face to face multiple times, etc.

But for some reason, since the first day I joined, I've faced nothing but hostility and even hatred since coming here, so I spent my time on the Movie section.

I've an issue with your suggestion that women aren't funny: https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,72569.msg3795826.html#msg3795826 the sentence "I love my nieces, but they'll never be funnier than they are as toddlers" was especially offensive, and while this post is the most glaring example, there's been others that have been depressingly sexist, hence the hostility.

I tell you who loved his nieces - Mort Sahl. Know what I mean?

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

I thought the whole point was that he was an incestuous paedophile. Difficult to understand how the act works without that being the lynchpin.

Washington couldn't tell a lie, Nixon couldn't tell the truth, and MortSahlFan couldn't tell the difference!

It takes dedication to make comments on other sites. You are a revolutionary.
