Tish

(1942)

The star of this flick - that would be "Tish" - is a loudmouthed old busybody who's like a cross between Mary Worth, Hazel, Auntie Mame, and someone old enough to actually know who all those people are. It sounds fucking horrible already, but frankly I thought Tish was reasonably hilarious: she's constantly talking shit, meddling in other people's business, speaking in tongues, and at one point she goes on a rant in her living room while waving a loaded gun around. ("This isn't dangerous. It only has bullets in every other chamber," she says.) Her current scheme is to set her nephew up with this cute little brunette, but there's two problems with this: 1) the nephew is already engaged to another broad and 2) Jimmy Olsen likes the brunette, and if she goes out with someone else he'll probably spend the entire summer locked in his bedroom closet, crying and jerking off into a pair of Superman Underoos. Again.

She moves forward with her slapstick plans anyway, and before long there's an endless parade of antics, shenanigans, hijinks, and even some monkeyshines. Among other things, Tish and her two sidebags nearly kill a judge, get treed by a bear, start a forest fire, sink a boat, and, finally, get arrested:

Judge: "Ignorance of the law is no excuse!"
Tish: "I thought it was."

And in the end it's all for fuck, because the brunette decides she likes Jimmy Olsen after all! The nephew marries his fiancé, the brunette marries Jimmy, and everyone lives happily ever. Well, until the brunette gets a telegram informing her that Jimmy is dead. (Hooray!) And when she reads it, she's so distraught that she dies too! And she was pregnant! Those are some pretty heavy twists for a movie that, just a few minutes ago, was primarily concerned with how many people in a row can fall into the lake. The best part comes at the very end though, where it turns out that it was all a big mistake and Jimmy is alive after all. So the pregnant girl died for nothing! Ha ha! It's funny because... Okay, wait a minute, what?
