Brokeback Mountain Original Score Oscar
I don't know, I really loved the music from that movie. I think it's almost classic now. As opposed to the other themes, I really don't know them at all... Brokeback Mountain's theme was in my head before I even saw the movie. Sure, it may have been bastardized by stupid comics, but it's still incredibly beautiful. John William's is brilliant, though. I'm surprised he didn't get anything for Star Wars. And Itzhak is a friggin' GENIUS. That performance made the entire show. Wow.

Check in her if you're depressed.
Nah, I don't think it's that people like to complain. People really do have geniune problems. A lot of times it can be due to a chemical imbalance in your mind. That's why medicine helps. It certainly has helped me. Or it could be due to trauma from childhood. I certainly don't like to complain. Even though sometimes I do feel like a whiney bitch... I certainly hope I don't come across as whiney in this thread! And yeah, talking online IS definately a form of comfort. I didn't mean to dismiss it so easily. But a lot of times talking to a professional is a great form of help. It does always depend on the person, though. Different strokes for different folks! lmfao. My mom jokes about us going on the Dr. Phil show all the time. I have a sort of messed up family. My aunt kicked my grandma out of her house a couple years ago, and she's been living with us. Basically the only family I have, I live with. Definately not a great environment. But they're all good people, so I'm alright. We always see DPhil do segments on big families living together, or the annoying mother in law, so we joke about going on and having him analyze us. But then again, my dad's a psychiatrist, so he should be able to do that any day! LMFAO!

I'm from the east coast, in the USA. Ryujiki, I agree. It is good to talk about things. It's better to talk about how to resolve them. I think that if you even feel mildly sad or scared, or whatever, then you should find someone you completely trust and confide in them. Preferably, in person (just talking about how you feel in a thread online isn't real help...). There COULD be some underlying cause to your problems. Perhaps a painful, childhood memory? Perhaps a chemical imbalance.

'Night', by Elie Wiesel. It's the shortest great book I've read recently. Erm.... I'm currently reading 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote.... That's not too long.

Oh, ok. No, I'm not mad at anybody. Definately not anyone in here. I just was speaking from my heart about a few of my feelings. I'm not angry about anything, I went through all those emotions a long time ago. And by picture, do you mean my avatar? If so, thanks! :)

Wow I'm kind of confused. Why am I mad? Mad like... crazy? Or mad like anger? And I wish it was that easy. I swear, I wish it was that friggin' easy.

I agree with you completely... I've spoken on this subject many times, in many other threads. I don't know if I'm going to sound like a broken record, and I really hope I don't. Because I mean everything I say whole heartedly. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression/anxiety. I don't wear this as a badge. In fact... I have to admit I'm kind of embaressed about it, lately. I was actually just thinking about this a few minutes ago, and a lot today. This thread's quite a coincidence to happen upon. I don't know why I have this. It's controlled me my whole life. I remember in 9th grade I would go to band class early and arrange the chairs into specific places so that in case I were called out of class, I would have an easy escape route. I'd make up excuses about having eye problems so I could sit up front, right by the door. Just incase I had to leave. That way I could do it quick without people looking at me. I only recently started paying for my own things at stores. I really don't know how to explain how unbelievably AWEFUL that is. And this anxiety started to tie into me feeling down on myself. I've had a horrible year. 2 weeks ago, today, I got a letter from the state truancy court. Telling me that I've missed a lot of school and could possibly face being either held back, or whatever. I don't know, I didn't bother reading the rest of it. That was painful for me... considering I've recently started making the very small steps towards getting a bit better. I'm seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist, who prescribes me something to help. I've tried a lot of the old fashioned techniques (excercize, diet change, more protein, relaxation techniques). But I just needed a bit more. I sympathize with everyone in here, I can understand the pain you must go through. But please.... don't confuse being sad about something that's out of your control with actual depression. Thinking you don't fit in and aren't "cool" enough isn't the same as thinking everyone is staring at you, juding you, every single second of the day. Believe me. I'm sorry. I don't mean to start, or add upon, anything. I just wanted to express my... perhaps... distaste for the inclusion of the "Part of the Depression Club" (or whatever it says, sorry if I got it wrong) in the signatures........ You don't know how much I wish EVERY SINGLE DAY that I didn't have depression. I'm embaressed to tell my friends because I'm scared they might look at me different, knowing I take pills to help me deal with things that seem so easy to them. I've actually being given a 504 plan at my school, where my teachers will be informed of the things going on and I'll have extra time to do assignments if something's going on. Which, sure, I do appreciate it. Sometimes some tasks are IMPOSSIBLE for me to do when I get in a low mood. But...... I am SOOO embaressed. And scared of it. I don't like this. I'm sorry I wrote so much. I really talk too much... But it feels good to talk about this. I don't really have anyone other than my therapist/psychiatrist who listens to me. Well, if you really want to know what depression does to you, what it feels like, here's a conversation I had a month or so ago: Friend: "Danielle, you used to be so smart." Me: "...Oh.......... thanks......" Friend: "No, well, I mean you still are. But it's just... You used to care a lot. Like, you used to try really hard. Now you... don't." If I could only tell her why that is....

Walk the Line
Wow. I literally just finished the movie (seriously, the credits just started rolling). I've always loved Johnny Cash. He reminds me a lot of my grandfather who passed a few years ago, so he's always been one of my favorite people in the world. And Joaquin Phoenix is probably my second favorite person in the world :lol: So this movie was absolutely PERFECT for me! Man, I loved it!! Very glad I bought the DVD! ...It makes me even more bitter that Joaquin didn't win..... :(
- hola!!

Is your country expensive?
I saw a $3.30 bottle of water at the movie theater. And a small coke is like... 3 bucks. Chewing gum? Oh man, I have no idea. I just buy Orbit and that's like...uh... 2 bucks? Damn America!!!

Oscar 2006 winners
My thoughts on the Oscars: First off, I don't think I'm entitled to give a credible opinion because I didn't see all of the movies nominated in all the major categories. However, by the end of the month, I should. For some reason I always end up joining the Oscar race AFTER it's over! Anyways. I think that Brokeback Mountain was the best movie in the past.... well, at least the past 5 years! I haven't seen a movie this moving, this incredible, in SO long. It should have won best movie. I was so incredibly dissapointed when it didn't! I have yet to see Crash, so I'll get back to you on if that deserved to win. But I don't think anything could top Brokeback to me. If a movie wins Best Adapted Screenplay AND Best Director, wouldn't that make it best movie??? What the hell? Ang Lee was talking about this after the show, expressing his surprise and dissapointment (and he seemed pissed off, rightly so!). What got me upset was that they didn't give Joaquin Phoenix a Best Actor oscar. That just really........ beyond dissapointed me. He's been my favorite actor for SO long now. It was like the 2001 Oscars all over again, when he didn't get the Best Supporting Actor award (which he should have, for Gladiator). However, I have to admit that this was an incredibly strong category. Every single man deserved an Oscar to go home with. It's just I really really wanted to see Joaquin get one. Jon Stewart is possibly my current favorite person in the whole world lately, so he can never do wrong to me. Honestly, though, he WAS hysterical. I absolutely love his style of humor, but I think a lot of the jokes could have gone over the academy's large heads. I don't care how he's percieved by people (I've known he's brilliant for 5 or so years now). He's not a slapstick, silly comedian like they may be used to. He doesn't do stupid little skits. Oh man I loved the joke about Spielberg. "The man who made Schindler's List and Munich. The man who has all Jews asking 'I can't WAIT to see what happens to us next!' *crosses fingers* TRILOGY!" :lol:
