thatcher espouses. it's incredible. there are myths we blow away in the movie. she was a social progressive, pro choice, pro gay, pro health service. yet she was fiscally conservative. those people who put her name in vain are just lying about it. i think the movie is explosive and fantastic. i think marilyn is an entertaining, smart movie with the performance by michelle williams and "the artist" is just fun and a good time. last night was, for me, truly amazing. i loved getting kidded around by -- you know, when you're kidded around by madonna you've just got to react with a sense of humor. >> right. absolutely. before we go, we'd love to say good-bye to uggy the dog. can he give us a farewell? does he perform on command unlike some other talent?
