Movies that Inspire

There has been only one thing getting in the way of following my dream to be a stand-up comic -- I'm not funny.

But I saw the Southern Belles of Comedy and realized I can do that too:  stand up on stage and say a bunch of stuff that just isn't funny.  Even with Brett Butler, there were very few laughs.  It bored my partner so much he walked away; but as I solemnly watched each pitiful joke I was inspired to follow my dream, and maybe I too can stand up on stage under the scrutiny of bright lights and cameras only to bomb.

Then there's been this other dream of mine to become a filmmaker, and I saw the documentary Objectified which could better used as a cure for insomnia -- but it inspired me too.  In my dreams I make a really great film, but in real life I can't live up to my own standards of perfection.  Objectified showed me (and anyone else who might happen to watch it) that it might be okay to make a really long, boring and pointless documentary -- also to purchase things that are functionally and artistically designed.
