Which makes us wonder how much of a review we read is really what the critic thought or what kind of mood the critic is in. Think about it-- if you're in a good mood, you could enjoy almost anything. If you're in a bad mood, it's hard to shake that mood when you see something. If Mick LaSalle praises a movie, is it because he really enjoyed or was it because it was a beautiful day and he had just had a perfect cup of coffee? Or vice versa-- did he really pan something because it was bad or was it because he had just gotten into a fight with his wife and his boss yelled at him and it was like the fifth movie he had to see that week? Yes, a critic is supposed to be all zen-like and open minded when they're seeing something but we're human beings.

So what are we getting at? Merely that when we saw the s UCB ASSSSCAT show on Friday night we were just plain exhausted from the week and were barely able to stay awake. As excited as we were in seeing the show, we also had to deal with the fact that all we wanted to do by the time the show started was crawl into bed. It's hard to laugh at something when you're exerting most of your energy just make it to the end. So with all that said, we would have to say that we were disappointed in the show.
