New documentary on Jerry Seinfeld's return to standup.
Some great stuff, esp JS' conversations w/Chris Rock, Jay Leno, and Bill Cosby[Letterman apparently punked out], as well as a fascinating look at an up-n-comer, but there is virtually no continuity or structure, just raw footage.
It would be wonderful to throw 5-6 big name comedians into a room w/plenty of booze, and just keep the camera rolling. In a Playboy interview once, Leno told some great stories about hanging w/Jerry & Dave before they all made it; and Bob Hope shared a great conversation he had w/either Gleason or Berle on Larry King years ago.
