Dear Adam Sandler,
So I went to see Funny People the other week, except that I got the name wrong and kept referring to it as Funny Man instead, all day at work beforehand I said ‘I’m going to see Funny Man tonight’ and nobody corrected me, and in fact Scott, who works with me, he went home and mentioned it and when his daughter corrected him and said it was Funny People he said it wasn’t and told her off. I also asked for two tickets to Funny Man when I went to the kiosk thing (with my Orange Wednesday code – I only ever go to the cinema on a Wednesday unless it’s a special occasion or I’m particularly flush, on account of it’s well expensive, especially if you have popcorn, which I do. I tried asking for a mixture of sweet and salted when I went to see Funny People, but they put the salted in first and the sweet on top and I think that’s the wrong way round, you should have the sweet as the pudding part, at the end. One time Steve told me that The Orphanage – that Spanish film – was called The Orphanarium, like where Leela in Futurama’s from, and I called it that for months until I bought it on DVD and realised he did it for a joke). Anyway. I liked the film, it was good. It was sort of weird, because it wasn’t actually all that funny. Not like 50 First Dates, which is my second favourite film ever. But it was good. I’m glad I Orange Wednesday’d it anyway, no offence.
So, Adam, could you possibly send me a signed photo? I’ve only got one from a proper Hollywood actor so far, which was sent by Robert Downey Jr, and whilst he’s cool and everything, you’re funnier in a different kind of way and you’d be the best of all the Hollywood signed photos I’d have. Thanks.
Your sincerely,
Lucy Knight
PS What the hell was that Punch Drunk Love about?
