I am especially fond of that scene in the movie where Comfortably Numb is playing after Costigan shows up at his ex-shrink's apartment, and after he pulls the picture of her on bike out and hangs on the wall. That is a great sceneOriginally Posted by TEND

I agree! I love that scene, and if I was allowed to choose the particular sequence I'm thouroughly analyzing I think I probably would've picked that part. Instead I'm assigned the chase scene which is still really good, crazy cool editing, lotsa quick transitions, fun stuff.I am especially fond of that scene in the movie where Comfortably Numb is playing after Costigan shows up at his ex-shrink's apartment, and after he pulls the picture of her on bike out and hangs on the wall.

"Americans should know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls."
-Walt WhitmanThey have their worries, they’re counting the miles, they’re thinking about where to sleep tonight, how much money for gas, the weather, how they’ll get there—and all the time they’ll get there anyway, you see.

^^ Seven Years in Tibet. <3<3. Brad Pitt does not look like Brad Pitt in that movie. I wish it were longer, though I can't watch the killing, it's too depressing.
9/10
Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.
I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

I watched last night "We were Soldiers" on television with Mel Gibson.
It was actually pretty good.
What Are You Crazy!!!
I watched a couple of movies this weekend, two very different movies. The first one was Waitress and the second was Zelary, a Czech movie taking place during WWII. Both were excellent in their own, completely different way.

feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,

Juno: 6.5/10
Unfortunately, I expected much better from this film due to the interesting topic of teen pregnancies and also the massive hype from the media. However, I found the protagonist (Juno) somewhat arrogant as opposed to witty...(Admittedly funny on occasion, but it was certainly over - done)
The film was in general quite pleasant and had no predictable the-world-is-perfect happy endings.

Hi Idril, I saw "Zellary" awhile back and I really liked it. It sort of starts out slow and you wonder if you will like it, but then you really involve yourself and it gets quite good, as you said in a completely different way. I thought the acting was excellent. I haven't seen the other film. I will check it out if I have a chance.

pussnboots, I have seen that film and I thought it was quite good - kind of exhausting and one felt one had been through a war when it was over, but I thought the acting was great. A very early Mel Gibson film I just love is "Galappoli", I think I spelled that wrong. I will look it up and let you know. It is about the battle there on the shoreline, but more importantly about two young friends from Australia who are star runners. I just love that film!

Gadget Girl, my mother loves that film "Sleeping with the Enemy" - I think she catches parts of it on TV all the time. I am not quite sure I have ever seen it all the way through.
I howl everytime I see "Greek Wedding", because my son married a Jewish woman and he is Christian, and so he once gave me this film to see - such a culture crash! I could not stop laughing during the baptism scene. Hilarious!

"The Perfect Man"
2/10
One of those movies where, after you finish it, all you can think is "why did I just watch that?"
com-pas-sion (n.) [ME. & OFr. <LL. (Ec.) compassio, sympathy < compassus, pp. of compati, to feel pity < L. com-, together + pali, to suffer] sorrow for the sufferings or trouble of another or others, accompanied by an urge to help; deep sympathy; pity
