Can I
get that at Blockbuster? Are there any other good Lesbian movies out there that you\'re not telling us about
Mack? I\'d have to say the lesbian tryst in \"Mulholland Drive\" with Naomi Sims has to be one of my favorites
of all time...Then I saw her on \"The Actors Studio\" & she said that doing a love scene with a woman makes it
all the more easier...that totally turned me on...

the non-infected ones, also if they had "rage" why were the infected humans attacking the non-infected ones and not
the other infected people. That virus didn't make much sense at all.

The ending is
wide-open. We don't know what happens after the parade. At the very, very least, Jimmy has to live with
it.
You're right, though. It does appear that Jimmy has actually been rewarded for his behavior (with
extra doses of sympathy, understanding and even affection, courtesy of his wife) and that is a little hard to choke
down.
On the other hand, is the whole thing really his--or anybody's--fault?
The ending is
wide-open. We don't know what happens after the parade. At the very, very least, Jimmy has to live with

What I found disconcerting was that Annabeth Markum (Jimmy's wife) not only accepts her husband's
blockheaded behavior, but showers him with extra affection and understanding over the whole thing. Irony makes fer
great drama, don't it?
True indeed like Lady Macbeth she might be his downfall in the end.
I

“Dirty Pretty Things” is out on
video. A realistic drama, with surreal undertones, about immigrants trying to survive London’s wicked underside.
Great story. Great acting and perfect casting. Audry Tatou (star of “Amilee”) plays and innocent Turkish girl that
everybody tries to exploit. Sergi Lopez (costar of “My Friend Harry”) plays an excellent bad guy. Some British actor
I’ve never seen before plays a Nigerian doctor running away from his past.
Shocking ending and one of the
greatest lines I’ve ever heard in a movie:
“Why haven’t I seen you people before?”
“You never see us.
We’re the people that drive your cabs, clean your rooms, and suck your c@#$.”

The documentary Control
Room was an excellent, honest film about truth, honesty, and balance in war journalism; as well as the battle
for these goods, in context of the Iraq war.
A lot of people are comparing it to Fahrenheit 9/11; and
for a good reason, due to the similarity in subject matter. The pacing and filmmaking was perhaps a little better in
Control Room; although 9/11 was perhaps slightly more ambitious and difficult.
Although staunch
conservatives are sure to dislike the film, since conservatism is partly a mental trait and cognitive habit;
independent-minded lovers of free information should find much reason to admire it.

Instead of
going out with my friends tonight. My little girl and I were bonding spending some quality time tonight insted! so
we had pop corn and rootbeer (her fave drink) we were watching *13 going on 30* one of the cuttest movies
ever. Definitely a Chick's movie as some guys might say (haha) we really liked it. She's (my little girl) growing
so fast makes me sad in a way because to me that is exactly what she will always be ( my little girl no matter what
age she is) and it was cute having her laugh with me of some of the scenes in the movie. Her laugh makes me feel
happy is such a great feeling she's one happy little girl and that makes me feel good.
She acts so much like me some times it's funny but she has her own personality and she's very
unique but I find it so amazing to see some of me in her. She likes me to tuck her in and read her a bed time-story
every night until she falls asleep and even though there's times I'm not in the mood I always do.. Tonight while
we were watching this movie it made me realized those moments are actually the best moments of her life as well as
mine because once the time is gone we can't get it back! and having those sweet short memories of us spending time
together, reading her a story, tucking her in at night, kissing her forehead and saying I love you & hearing her
sweet voice saying I love you to Mommy are some of the best moments in my life and those sweet memories are captured
in my heart as well in my mind until the day I die... What a wonderfull feeling she gives me, what a wonderful thing
is to be a Mommy of such a loving little girl.
Yeah I guess this movie did a little
more to me because I used to be in such rush to grow up but once I got there I wish I was young all over again and
to see my kid rushing to grow up too sort of makes me sad because I wish she wouldn't.. I wish she could stay the
age she is now and be with me forever... (okay Im crying now..) Sorry I'm a bit emotional tonight and I think it's
showing.. But those who are parents can relate to what I'm rumbling about..
BTW she is
sleeping with me tonight and I enjoy this more than her to tell you the truth! although she basically takes the
whole bed and I end up at the edge I enjoy her little arms hugging me during the night. But this only happens every
once in a while because if we make this a habit than is hard to get her back in her bedroom again and I need my
privacy too. Anyway, I will stop here now I just had an emotional moment. My next movie is Saving Private Ryan. Not
sure if I really want to start watching this tonight.. I'm a cry Baby and not ashame to admit it and as much as I
suffer watching movies like those I really enjoy them a lot! I watched Man Of Honor for the 1st time sometime last
week and OMG awesome Movie!! And NOOO I didn't drop a tear in this movie!,,,, (okay I'm lying) I couln't stop my
tears from falling...
Hugs to you all

WoW Sky Captain and the World of
Tomorrow will become a classic. The whole retro look of the film is amazing, it felt like I was watching a actual
movie from the 30s combined with giant robots, Ray Guns, and a Flash Gordon type hero. To those that don't know
this movie it is entirely computer-generated only the actors are real. The dialogue and acting could have been
better but I can see they were trying to go for a comic-book serial. This is one of those movies you have to see on
the big screen so don't wait till DVD, I highly recommend it.

“Shawn of the Dead”: There’s some
social satire, but mostly it’s a verry well done play on the tension/frustration you feel while watching stupid
people try to get away from mindless, slow moving zombies.
Warning! This is not a straight up comedy. There’s a
few shocks, lots of gore and way more suspense than “Resident Evil”.

sort of lost steam during the second half but the climax was pretty spooky. The Grudge is actually a remake of JuOn

I watched What The Bleep Do We Know? last night. Great message (dead on, if watered-down to
Aquafina). Cheesy packaging.
Anyone else see it?Saw it three times: Cheezy elements, and stuff I'd
heard before; but at the time I felt good leaving the theater. I liked it a lot. The idea that you create your own
reality (here ideas dovetailed with Matrix a bit) is empowering.
It was filmed right here, so I reconized many
of the places in the film. It also premiered here, so I saw it a long while ago.
It did so well, it stayed
showing at the same old theater (the one pictured in the film) for months, at two shows a day.
The film has
generated a lot of critical flack in the local press; from charges of "hippie bullshit," (Ramtha, etc.) to
controversy about some neocon religious cult that the filmmakers are involved with. For example:
http://www.wweek.com/story.php?story=5860
Ironically, the
neocon idea is that, since you create your own reality, where you are is your own damn fault: You're on your
own, and don't need the government's help! The "haves" deserve to have, and the "nots" don't.
This
underscores that the insight behind the film is a dangerous idea -- that, even if true, the "general
population of idiot monkeys" might not be ready for it. Personal responsibility is highly threatening to us, and in
fact is somewhat dangerous.
This is probably the one characteristic that keeps religion and its mindset from
evolving, to keep pace with reason and civilization. After all, if God is within each of us, rather than in the
Bible, what is to prevent everyone from making their own rules? Could everything become "permissable"? Wouldn't
that mean the crumbling of all sacred and secure things? This is to say nothing of the individual's power to
create.
It is impossible to overestimate the amount of fear that middle America feels at the half-witted
contemplation of these ideas.
The problem is, that for our fundamental ideas and beliefs about the universe to
not evolve is way more dangerous and threatening! The old set of ideas is killing us and our planet.
I
personally wanted them to emphasize the science more, and the "new-aginess" less. I thought they hurt their own
"case" unnecessarily with it. But the controversy that came out later suggested that the filmmakers may have had
another agenda.
But it was a huge popular success. I'm glad you got to see it. I had recommended the film to
others.

03-30-2005, 02:38 PM
Unfortunately,
the ability to make one's own rules comes with a level of personal responsibility that many people are just plum

Interesting and a bit of synchronicity for me to read this post
this morning. At a presentation in Phoenix last November, my meditation teacher recommended this film. I had never
heard of it before and thought there was little chance that it would play in my town. I just checked my email and
from one of the Yahoo groups I belong to, I got notice tonight that the film will be playing in a small California
community just across the Colorado River from my town on April 15th. Admission is only $5, cheaper than the theatres
in this town.
Knowing that the town doesn't have a theatre of it's own, I suspect that it will be shown in
a church. Signs point to go though, and if I get there early, "good eats" will be available for only $5
more.
As a person who believes we do create our reality but often forgets to put it in practice (especially
the past few weeks), I need all the reminders I can get. I am writing down the date on my calendar as soon as I post
this.
Thanks for mentioning the film today Holmes. And thanks DrSmellThis, for your take on the picture.

After some ambivalence due
to the venue it was showing at (a 1950s era trailer park), I saw it tonight. It did have the feeling of "Afterschool
Special" meets "Donald Duck in Mathamagic Land" in places, but I liked it. I think it's worth watching several
times, I think I'll try to find a used copy on Amazon.
Hoping that there might be women of interest there, I
put on three dabs of Pheros/NPA 3:1 and two sprays of Chikara. I was not surprised to find though, that the crowd
was closer to my parents' age than mine. Though I had my usual pre-event jitters, I'm happy to report I was not
self-conscious at all after my initial entry.
I think the movie was something I needed to see, especially due
to the coincidence of seeing Holmes' post about the same day it was announced it was to be shown in my area. I have
been studying "Science of Mind" for several years but have problem puting it into practice. The old wriring is hard
to change. I have seen evidence of the movie's message in real life but still revert to my old negative
ways.
Interestingly, the main actress in the movie kept seeing weird things. On the drive back home, I was on
my town's main drag, a 4 lane street with a turning lane. I saw some guy run into the street from the opposite side
and then realized that I had just passed a guy holding a beer sitting in a shopping cart in the turning lane of the
road. In the rearview mirror, I saw the guy on foot push the other guy back into a motel parking lot. I wonder what
that means... (Other than it must be a good party they're having.) :)

That's something that concerned me when I
realized who the particular woiman was. Too much negative press in the 1980s/90s has influenced my opinion about
him/her. But I'm keeping an open mind as my meditation teacher has some far out claims and I also enjoy listening
to another channeler's tapes, Abraham-Hicks.
The movie was first recommended to me by my meditation
teacher. The people who attended last night were strangers to me (though I did recognize one guy from work), but I
think they were mainly Science of Mind people, which is basically a kind of positive thinking.
Kind of funny
that it is Ramtha propaganda as I was joking before I saw it that I was going to be indoctrinated into another cult
at the movie.
The discussion at IMDB about the movie is really heated. I'm glad I waited until after I saw
the movie to look it up there. I think the main point of the movie isn't some of the pseudo science that they
feature, but to get you thinking about how the way you look at the world shapes your experiences.

no good or bad but thinking makes it so." - Shakespeare

Just saw "The
Producers." I think it's better than the original, but no "Kung Fu Hustle." :) As for musicals, I think Chicago was
better, though Producers has its moments.
Uma Thurman has some long legs! I never noticed before. That must
be why she was barefoot dancing with Travolta in "Pulp Fiction." I bet she's taller than he is. I never realized
before how tall she actually is.
The movie was fun and the songs catchy though. I think the scene at the gay
director's house was the funniest. And I had a problem at first with Matthew Broderick freaking out in the first
scene. It seemed like he was trying too hard to channel Gene Wilder's performance in the original film there.
A bit of trivia: In the original movie, when they sang "Springtime for Hitler," there's a line, "don't be
stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party." That's was Mel Brook's voice, though he never appeared on
screen. They use his voice again for that line in the musical version too.
Funny, when I worked at a movie
theatre, I always resented having to work on Christmas day. This is the second Christmas that I've gone to see a
matinee. Last year it was that Steve Zizou movie. I've mainly gone, besides wanting to see the shows, to get out of
the house full of too many relatives.

This one's several
years old, but I saw for the first time a couple of months ago at the dentist's office. He has these glasses with
little LCD screens in them so you can watch DVDs to distract you from what he's doing in your mouth.
Anyway,
the movie's "A Knight's Tale." From the moment I saw the audience at the joust singing, "We Will Rock You," I was
hooked. I didn't get to see the whole thing, so I went out and bought the director's cut that afternoon.
Disappointed that it didn't have the funny commentary soundtrack by the director and one of the actors, I then
ordered a used copy of the original version off of Amazon.com.
The movie got some bad reviews from people
thinking it was going to be a period piece. But I feel the use of modern rock "classics" and behavior in the movie
worked to it's advantage. I think besides the jousting action, my favorite scene is the banquet, where they start
to dance a Minuet type of dance and it merges into everyone getting down to David Bowie singing "Golden Years."

Munich was a good movie.
It's based on a true story of what happened after the massacre of 11 Israelie atheletes back in the 1972 Olympics.
5 men were hired as a hit squad to go after the Palestinian terrorists who were responsible for the massacre.
Another good movie is Lord Of War, featuring Nicolas Cage, as an international arms dealer and Ethan Hawke
plays an Interpol agent who chases Cage's character.

That’s the one. (She’s a QT.) If it’s playing in Denver it must be playing at a theater near

always funny when coppertops try to sort through ethical dilemmas.)

Oops, I'd forgotten you were out
West. (Why was I thinking NYC?)
Yeah, I've heard positive things about Mol's handling of the role, how she
really brought to life the person behind the persona, how she captured Page's innocence and vulnerability, how she
really was Bettie, etc. I'm kinda relieved that they didn't choose a higher-profile actress for this -
Angelina Jolie or whomever. (Now, if only Joss Whedon would cast Emily Deschanel as Wonder Woman...) Looking forward
to this one, for sure.
Glad you enjoyed TYFS. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a lot of that
movie - for most of it, I wanted to do both at the same time. The overarching message is pretty goddamned
depressing.
BR was awesome, though. "We don't sell Tic Tacs, we sell cigarettes. And they're cool,

Been looking forward to this one. Opened in San
Diego yesterday, so I'll be able to catch it there in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, the "Not Smoking" movie will
still be there too. These kind of movies play in the "art houses," the nearest of which to my motel is in a gay
neighborhood. Within walking distance from the motel though, if I want to hike about a mile up a steep canyon road.
I saw "Shopgirl" at that neighborhood's theatre last year. Before the show, they showed a preview for some kind of
movie about two shirtless cowboys who fall in love on a fishing trip. I wanted to laugh out loud as I thought it
looked like a very bad movie and didn't even know they made films like that. Little did I know at the time that
"Brokeback Mountain" was a mainstream movie that would get a lot of publicity. :confused: :run:
Back to
Bettie Page, when she first started to regain popularity in the 1980s, I found there was some kind of primal
attraction to her, as if I had seen her somewhere before. I think they were still printing her pictures long after
she retired from the scene, in those cheap mature joke mags that I bought as a pre-teen in the early 1970s.

Same here. Her dominatrix shots actually look quite scary — and are
a big turn-off. But I think a lot of her “jungle queen” shots are still pretty sexy. I’ve got a bunch of them tacked

I didn't know whether
to laugh or cry for a lot of that movie - for most of it, I wanted to do both at the same time.
That’s pretty much how I felt about the father-son relationship.
With regards to the movie as a whole, my
uneasiness centered around the question, Is this movie a hard hitting lampoon of business ‘ethics’? (eg. Being good
at what you do is more important than doing good. And Sam Eliot’s great line, “I was good at killing Viet Cong, but
I didn’t try to make a living out of it.”) Or is it a convenient rationalization for our culture’s ethical
breakdown? (eg. Since when did paying the mortgage become a valid moral argument?)
Either way, the true face of
evil is portrayed quite graphically, for anyone that cares to see it.
Anyway... Since I’m going on and on
about movies, here’s some DVD recommendations:
“Serenity” and “Secuestro Express” are a couple of low
budget movies that make their high-budget parallels (“Star Wars” and “Man on Fire”) seem wimpy by comparison.
“Serenity” is a sci-fi/action movie with very compelling characters and lots of clever twists. Plus it portrays the
classic theme of Rebels vs. Empire with a good sense of humor and without a lot of heavy handed moralizing.
“Man
on Fire” was a good movie, but “Secuestro Express” handles the topic of Latin American abductions with the kind of
realism that makes your palms sweaty. (If you thought “Man on Fire” was suspenseful, you’re going to need some Xanax
for “Secuestro Express”.) There’s no heroes to save the day and the villains aren’t caricatures of Evil. They’re
desperate people at the end of their ropes and you never know when they’re going to go off. (Not to mention, Mia
Maestro is ravishing.)
Last, but not least, “Dot the I” has got to be one of my favorite movies of all
time. I didn’t catch it at the theaters because it seemed like just another love triangle.
There is a love
triangle. But, right from the start, you get the sense that something menacing is going on.
You pretty much have
to see it twice to appreciate what the screen-writer is doing. The first time around he basically f**ks with your
mind and toys with your emotions. The second time around you realize how the real story is being told in the margins
of what you first thought the story was about.

morning that the guy who does "Lost" is going to be doing the next "Star Treck" movie. This one is supposed to be
about Kirk and Spock's first mission. A "prequel" to the original series.
This should be killer.
J.J. Abrams is the man.
Though, as someone pointed out, if the Trekkies don't like this one, they'll end
his career. :lol:

Thats pretty much
how I felt about the father-son relationship.
With regards to the movie as a whole, my uneasiness centered
around the question, Is this movie a hard hitting lampoon of business ¥ethics? (eg. Being good at what you do is
more important than doing good. And Sam Eliots great line, ÐI was good at killing Viet Cong, but I didnt try to
make a living out of it.Ó) Or is it a convenient rationalization for our cultures ethical breakdown? (eg. Since
when did paying the mortgage become a valid moral argument?)
Both, I'm afraid.
That "paying
the mortgage" bit was one of the hardest moments to stomach. Surely there are more ethical ways to make them
payments.
Serenity was extraordinary - in every way. Whedon outdid himself, IMO. Here's hoping
WW is half as good.
Haven't seen Secuestro Express (shot in DV?) or Dot The I yet, but
really want to check out both.

Just finished a foriegn language DVD called Lagaan: Once Upon
A Time In India (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169102/). I think I must have been Indian in at least one of my past lives. I've been attracted to
their music since I heard George Harrison's album, "Wonderwall Music," and their images since a friend in high
school gave me a copy of the Baghavad Ghita that he bought off a Hare Krishna follower in an airport in the 1970s.
My meditation teacher once told a group I was in that were were all monks at one time who had taken vows of poverty.
With my financial situation, I believe it. And with my relationship history, I think there was a vow of celibacy
that I'm still burning off karma for too.
Anyway, I've been interested in seeing some Bollywood movies but
not knowing Hindi, was hesitant to pick one at random. "Bride and Prejudice" was my first one, which was by the
director of "Bend it like Beckham" and is all in English.
Lagaan is set in drought stricken India in 1893.
The arrogant British captain in charge of the area tells the villagers that they have to pay double tax (lagaan)
since he had let them slide with just half the tax the year before. The villagers protest and he decides that if
they beat the British soldiers in cricket that they won't have to pay tax for three years. If they lose, they owe
triple tax.
The main drawback with the movie is it's almost four hours long. :eek: The story really drew me
in though, rooting for the motley bunch of villagers and hating the priviledged frat boy like British team,
especially the captain. The photography is great and so is the soundtrack. Lots of dramatic drumming.
Other
than the legnth, the other thing that might put viewers off is that it's mainly in Hindi, though the Brits speak
English to each other. But to me, subtitles help me pay more attention to the film. I find that when watching movies
at home, I often start to lose attention and just half listen, while I surf the web or do other things. Can't do
that when you have to read to understand the dialogue.
I'm not one for sports movies and the last 1.75 hours
or so of this one is the cricket match. But I had never watched cricket before so that was interesting, and like I
said, the drama (and also the unrequited love of the captain's sister toward the main Indian character) drew me in.
My favorite character though, was Guran, who reminded me of Rupert from "Survivor."

I wanted to add,
that the scene where the whole willage gasped when the main protaganist touched an "untouchable" reminded me of "The
Beverly Hillibillies." A con man under the guise of a guru had his hooks in Mrs. Drysdale to get her money. She was
going on a trip to India with him and he told her that while there, she would touch an untouchable. Whe Mrs.
Drysdale said she didn't want to touch one, he told ther that would cost extra as "they're very touchy." :)

Dick adaptations include Minority Report and Blade Runner. Also, Scanner Darkly is directed by my favorite director,
Richard Linklater (known for Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Waking Life)
Scanner Darkly
will also employ the same rotoscoping techniques of Waking Life, which helped make that movie one of my all-time
favorites, and just look plain cool!

I got out to a screening of
Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out a couple of weeks back. Remarkable film...really gives you a sense of
what it must have been like to be in the band. Most highly recommended!
Stewart Copeland was at the
screening, incidentally. It's always gratifying to find out that one of your childhood heroes is a nice
guy.
Has anyone seen Lady In The Water?

Finally saw Broken Flowers with one
of my fav actors Bill Murray. Very good but if you are used to movies totally resolving at the end, you can get
disappointed.
Just saw Howl's Moving Castle last night (Japanese anime by Miyazaki). My wife is Japanese so we
watch a lot of them. They seem to be getting better and better, the translation and overdub acting are definitely
improving.

Bought a copy of "Bad Timing: a
Sexual Obsession" by Nickolas Roeg recently.
One scary good movie!
"The Devil Wears Prada" wasn't bad
and had some decent messages for young women.
"Serenity" was better than the latest Star Wars franchise but
still predictably unpredictable. Like those nonconformists who all look alike. A "pass the popcorn"
movie.
"Pirates" was a waste of money except for the air conditioning.

Agreed. No Natalie Portman, either (another plus).

Bad Timing is on my list. Are
there any extras on the DVD?

Check out the director featurette on
the making of the movie. That says it all. He says his goal is to make movies with no clear explanation and
everybody writes his/her own plot. Sort of a "Roarshock Movie" (you know, where you look at an ink blot and figure
out what you see there). Me? I figure the whole thing was a hoax perpetrated by the ex gf who was vacating at the
beginning of the movie.
My wife and I watched the first half of Memoirs of a Geisha last night; enjoying it more
than I thought I would.

Haven't seen that one yet,
Swinger, but it's been on my list.
On a completely different note, I just saw this one called The
Secret. It's based on the teachings/writings of Jerry and Esther Hicks. The concensus seemed to be, "see this
movie; it'll change your life!" So I checked it out.
My concensus: cringeworthy production - similar
in oh-so-many ways to What The Bleep... Very "Anthony Robbins Infomerical" at times (I repeatedly caught
myself wondering what they were selling). But I'm still on the fence about the validity of the message itself. I
have seen the process in action (mostly in other people's lives), but I'm still fighting the impulse to write it
all off as a either hidden opportunism or airy-fairy bullshit (as the universe is feeling pretty random to me these
days).
Doc would be a great one to talk to about this particular movie, but I'd also love to know what
anyone else thinks. Anyone? Anyone? Bruce? :D

Holmes,
Just noticed your post
about the Secret. I watched it a few months back and my 2 cents says all that stuff is aboslutely for real and a
distant cousin to the disciplines that I am working with now, but (very big but in fact) my gut says those guys are
playing with a fire they have very little clue about. It's really a sort or religion based on the accumulation of
wealth. Check it out, most of those guys are bragging about how much money they got from the "secret." One guy is
even bragging about his 4million dollar house and in the same sentence his wife that "you would kill for." Um....
exqueeze me? If you cut that stuff out (which is 80% of the film), it's great. I loved that Texas "miracle man."
He is great. The Doctor tells him "you will be in bed on life support for the rest of your life", and he says
"Yeah? I say I'll be out of here by Christmas." I love that. That's what that is all about. Screw the money
and the $4 million house and supermodel wife. (figuratively speaking of course)
But I can tell you that stuff is
for real. If you believe something strongly enough, you can make it come true. Just depends how strong your mind
is. If you wish for lots of "stuff" and half the rest of the population is starving to death, um... I gotta feeling
there is gonna be a price to pay that those fellas hadn't bargained on.
My 2 1/2 cents.
Pray for Peace; then
go out and make it happen
Holmes

Glad to hear your thoughts on
this. I agree with just about every point you've made. The emphasis on money/materialism is kind of what turned me
off, too. Likewise, the saving grace (for me) was definitely the miracle man segment.
One of the questions
that keeps haunting me, though: could anybody have done what he did? Or was there something about his makeup,
something in his wiring, that made it easier for him to recover? (Or was it just luck?)
Thanks for the
reply. Off to check out Sam Mendes' new play with Bill Nighy and Julianne Moore...

Your talking about the Law Of
Attraction right ?
I watched The Secret and have read a few books on the premise ..... and have concluded it
must be a crock !!
People starving to death cannot simply "believe" themselves into getting a better life
!!
People desperately in debt gamble their last few bucks away with more "belief" than any living soul .....
and still lose their money .....
I can't help thinking that there are simply winners and losers in life
..... the winners got their by sheer luck and coincidence ..... nothing more, nothing less .....

Winning may in part be luck but
a lot of it is making your own luck. You have to believe then go out and make what you believe happen. There is no
luck associated with sitting and hoping something will happen but there is a lot of luck available to those who are
always trying.

.
I think anybody could have done that and can do it. I just depends how much you want it and
perhaps if you happen to get the right "guidance" at the right time. You can call it "luck" if you want. That's
probably just semantics. Lucky enough to have the will to be healthy; lucky enough to believe in yourself; lucky
enough to believe in the power of your own thoughts and beliefs... You can call that "luck", but there is still
some very cool stuff buried away in there.

Thanks for that, Bruce. I
agree.
Btw, the materialistic sheen that made the movie so off-putting to you and me was all Rhonda Byrne.
She's a money-grubbing whore with intentions that extend far beyond "sharing 'the Secret' with the world." There
was some pretty ugly stuff going on with regard to the production of that film. Esther Hicks was completely
screwed.
Anyway, the movie presents a really dumbed-down, Oprahfied version of what seems to be a legitimate
concept. It's a shame, really.

Saw "Stardust" with my 11 y/0
daughter and her buddy.
Not a bad movie at all! While definitely appealing to the "tween" girl audience, I
got into it and enjoyed the plot and the humor, both sophisticated and not.
The movie also did not have
anything I thought was morally a bad lession for kids, like so many Hollywood movies have these days.
Look
for the carriage that looks like a Hummer pulled by horses!
If you like a good drama check out
"In my fathers den" , it's an adaptation of a classic new zealand novel. No flashy effects , just a good story that
will surprise you. It's my pick for one of the best kiwi films made in a long
time.:thumbsup:
