When I first heard about this documentary I thought it would be a little morbid! Not so at all. Obit is fascinating and very well done. The HH, The Girl and I watched it awhile ago and we all found it very interesting, so much so that we’re re-watching it tonight. It follows a small staff of obituary writers at The New York Times as they do their job in summarizing a life. SO many of us read the obits every day without a second thought about what goes into them. It is so intriguing and all of us would highly recommend it.
Have you seen it? Did you enjoy it as much as we did? Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.
Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

Mavis, I haven’t seen “Obit”, but along those lines is the Shirley MacLaine movie, “The Last Word”. There’s a lot of unnecessary language in it, but the story line is good, about an older woman who wants a GOOD obituary written about her. The problem is she is not well-liked. I am a HUGE Shirley fan and she does NOT disappoint in this movie. It has not gotten good reviews; however, I don’t let that stop me! Enjoy.

I loved The Last Word too. An urylink.netolder Weiser Boudreau at her finest.
