For my money, I don't think mycdplayerisbroke think he's super cool. You and him seem to have something going on, and for all I know he has been an asshole to you. i'm not sure: I just ignore those posts. To me, mycdplayerisbroken has been a nice guy. That's not to say he IS a nice guy. He just hasn't done anything to me to make me think otherwise.

Well, from my studies I've learned that ... "Time makes the lovers feel Like we've got something real And you and me we know We've got nothing but time And time won't give me time Won't give me time" But I'm pretty sure the source of that deserves a certain degree of cynicism.

"I know it was you [character name]. You broke my heart. You broke my heart."

Rufus Wainright, <u>Want One</u>, "11:11" I'm not sure you can listen to silence. That would be like looking at nothing.

Yep ... and Chris Martinsmurf would hook up with Smurfette.

Hi Ginger! I'm probably going to go see it on Tuesday. I didn't see the first one and don't know anything beyond there's a villian called Leatherface. I'm HOPING it lives up to the hype my friends have generated. Everybody has seemed to like it thus far.

I really love the movie <u>Elizabeth</u>. I thought it was really underappreciated and still kind of wonder how Cate Blachett lost out to Gwyneth Paltrow for that year's Academy Award. Even so, I've been drawn to Blanchett ever since which is probably the only reason I went to see <u>Veronica Guerin</u> (VG). This movie is about an Irish journalist who puts her own life in dangerous while reporting on the immerging drug underworld of Dublin. Reporting on the problem starts modestly, but as the movie continues the scope of the problem compounds and leads her into deeper levels of the city's crime network and, consequently, more danger. This is a true story and really would have been more interesting as a documentary rather than as a dramatic adaptation. I felt like there were a lot of intricacies to the story that the movie couldn't go justice. The evidence behind the conclusions she comes to re: the crime network could not be dealt with approrpiately while trying to make a mainstream movie, and as a result the overall product suffered. As a mainstrea movie it is only average and as a documentary of Guerin's life it seems to fail. I'm really not sure how Joel Schumacher ended up with the job of directing this movie. He did an adequate job but it was also a little insufficient. I didn't really feel the dangers builting. I didn't feel any tensions building. The increasing anxiety of Guerin's family is dealt with in a cursory manner. I'm assuming these are all decisions make by the director, choosing to focus more on the criminal elements int he movie. The problem is that that main criminal characters aren't really developed that well. "Why am I supposed to think these people are dangerous?" You see why they are, but you really don't feel it constantly (as you should). Blanchett was decent. No, she was good. But it wasn't enough. I left the theatre thinking that is movie was about middle of the road, but afte thinking about this a little more, I think this movie was slightly below average. The only reason I could see going to see it is if you really like the event of the movie (which I do) or you really like Cate Blanchett (*cough*). I thought this was about as good as <u>My Life Withou Me</u>, but while I would recommend people see MLWM</>, I cna't recommend everybody go see this. That's it for my pretention ... for now. I'm planning on see TCM and Wonderland this week.

^responds refreshingly and honestly

You two make a great couple. You can see the happiness shining in each of your eyes. Congratulations ... FREAKS! :P

Great Divide and cdplayer Just stay away from each other. Just don't respond to each other. Maybe you're each having fun with the other person, inticing them; I don't know. I do know that it's causing some traffic on the boards. Just lay low for a while, each of you.

There is no reason, under any circumstances, 26 should feel old. I'm 26. I'm single. I'm not seenig anybody seriously at the moment. I'm having a really good time. It is true that people around me are starting to get married, start families, buy houses, etc. And many of the ones who are not married are in serious relationships. To be honest, I never think about those people. It's not worth it. I am not them. I don't want to be like them. Right now, I really just want to be true to myself. If a great woman comes along I will jump, but I'm not hunting.

Ooooooh my... what a stupid man! Then, MY RICHARD IS NOT THAT STUPID DR PHIL!!! :angry: :angry: Damn right! Thanks, V.

What is Donnie Darko about? A theater in town is showing it. Should I go see it?

V: I'm not sure we should invite Lea to "the event" if she's gonig to be so disrepectful to you. j/k, Lea ... I know you're joking.

^ 9.75 ... I didn't give a 10 just because I'm saving that for the avatar that's Rachel Weisz, Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett or Gwyneth Platrow.

Well done, V.

I think I'm going to see <u>TCM</u> manana. I like the avatar, chuckie.

Oh! I totally forgot about that one. I'll rent that this week and watch it. I want to try to watch those few Coen brothers movies that I have yet to see. That's how much I liked IC. Right now, though, I've rented <u>Confessions of a Dangerous Mind</u>. It is overdue and I've yet to return it.

That was the most heart-wrenching scene ... and the worst pat: The whole movie you know it's coming. You prepare yourself for it. But when it finally arives are you propared? Hell no. Polley was really good.
