thank you for the correction, Holland syndrome, sheesh. I need some sleep.
Scher you funny girl,you do make a point which I respect.
There is a whole poem in proverbs I th ink that talks about the capable wife.she has her own money, buys land and works it and makes money on that and she and her husband have complete respect for one another. sound a little better?
I don't know what to think about the going on one knee thing. perhaps both should be on their knees asking one another and proclaiming their love.
can't say.
AimusSage, forgive me please. I was merely relating to the syndrome. I didn't make up the name. And until you mentioned it I only thought of you as a nice guy(are you a guy) witty intelligent and a guy who suffered daily the perils of driving on congested highways and smelling good old cows thru the whole trip. All my Dutch friends are great and best of all they make you take off your shoes before coming into the house the same as I do. I mean can you imagine what stuff is picked up on the bottoms of shoes...it is beyond gross.
Even Hair?Quote:

Where the Rivers Flow North
3/10
It's the first, and considered to be the best, movie by my boyfriend's old film professor. We laughed, we laughed, and we laughed some more, and not for the right reasons. He said it should have been called "Where the Rivers of Exposition Flow Endlessly." Poor Michael J. Fox even accepted a role in it, boasting an excruciating attempt at a Kennedy-like Boston accent. But this was in 1993, so I guess it was about the time his career started to slump.
In short, it blew long, it blew hard, and the microphone appeared enough to be credited as a member of the cast.
I am sorry, but I can't forgive you Rachel, there is nothing to forgive. :nod:Quote:

The smell can make your nose twitch into most unnatural positions.
So, now I am no longer a nice guy?
Last movie: King Kong
Director: The Hobbit Guy... Peter Jackson.
Rating: :thumbs_up :thumbs_up out of :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up
It was pretty mediocure, the cg was bad, the acting was soso, and it didn't follow the original, and what the $#%@#$% was with the bugs, bats, and the other freeking huge unidentifiable slo moving disgusting thing. Mr Jackson should decide what kind of movie his making and should stop going "brain dead"
yah AimusSage,
you're a sweet guy. And you take your shoes off, which makes you a great guy
Yah for AimusSage, gentleman of the forum
I have watched Harry Potter and the goblet of fire today and to tell the truth, I did not like it. I was really disappointed.
It was not as good as I expected it to be. It did not contain many scenes. Many were missing. I know that it is impossible to make a movie of such a long book without cutting scenes, but they could have made it better.
Edit to add: 5/10
Bang Bang *crash*
Lord of the Flies - the one directed by Peter Brook. it's brilliant if a little weird and creepy
I felt like I was having a break down when I watched Lord of the flies, I am not joking. To think that human beings would ever allow themselves to become so dark that they would become like demons and do such atrocities. I hate that I ever watched that movie.
Here, here! I fully agree. But you know that hobbit guy doesn't look anything like a hobbit any more. He lost lots of weight and looks like an entirely different person almost.Quote:

It's very funny, a little sad, sweet and very touching.
Most of the people in the theater were older, probably in their 50's and 60's I believe and not one of them seemed to think it was funny much at all. But my daughter went with me and she enjoyed it immensely. Perhaps they thought it wasn't politically correct to laugh at the travails of a poor little boy dressing up in ladies clothes and lipstick on his way to becoming a full fledged transvestite. But it was loads of fun and made me remember that one should never judge someone because of who they are racially, sexually, et cetera.
Oh, that's so sad, Rachel. :( I'm sorry it made you unhappy.Quote:

I agree with you Em that is was awfully true to the book. It didn't even seem like a movie to me, I guess that is why I started shaking and felt like I was cracking. Being a Jew and having been viciously abused myself as a child it was too too real. I have seen the dark side of humanity and well I face it daily in helping those in distress and on the street I can do it only because I am bringing relief. To just observe it is beyond my strength I guess.
Peter Jackson really does not look himself, especially with the laser surgery on his eyes. I just can't relate to him right now. It will take time I guess.
Darlin did you ever see la cage aux folles-1978 about the gay world. It was to me very sad and and arresting movie. I found the players very believable. The latest version the Bird Cage with Nathan Lane I have only seen parts of but Nathan is a consumate actor in this type of genre. he is brilliant.
Lately I've seen few films among them: King Kong, The Cronicals of Narnia, The Lord of Wars, and others. What to say about them more than I enjoy myself.
