The Beach: Ehh, it was okay. I don't like really the kind of story that it focused on, like where someone wants to get away from the "evils" of society and get to a perfect place. I don't think I realized that's what it was about until I started watching it. Leo was okay, and I wasn't familiar with anybody else in it and wouldn't take the time to look them up.

Been on a movie watching binge lately:

Sugar (okay but not a great movie)

Luster (not a great movie either but okay)

Yogi & Jasser (not very good at all)

John Tucker Must Die (very good)

Dreamer (one of the best movie's I've seen in awhile)

Masquerade (one of my favorite B movie thrillers of all time)

It's A Wonderful Life, Little Women, & Miracle on 34th Street (my 3 favorite holiday movies)

I saw 2 other movies that were okay but I can't remember the titles.

One was about a gay guy who goes to work at a restaurant and falls in love with his boss who is married. And another was a comedy about a gay actor in the 1950's who has to get married to keep his fans from finding out he is gay.

Little Miss Sunshine-really enjoyed it! Abigal Breslin really is the screen stealer in this movie! :)

ETA: Also saw The Holiday yesterday...love Cameron Diaz, Jack Black and Kate Winslet so of course I loved it! Jude Law was also really good in this film. Loved the ending!

The Devil Wears Prada: TOTALLY different from the book.

IIRC, there isn't an annoying, guilt-tripping boyfriend in the novel. The friends really brought down the movie. I didn't like the "selling your soul to fashion" tone.

Stanley Tucci's character should be a hip young guy.

I wish they had done the sequence when they're unwrapping Miranda's Christmas gifts and sending out bottles of wine to everyone.

Meryl Streep, Hathaway and Emily Blunt are great. So is the fashion.

United 93: Phenomenal. Amazing. Fantastic.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's chest It was alright but there was too much Keira Knightley in it. She looked like a frog or fish when she was trying to seduce and kiss Jack at the end. I seen another of her movies about King Arthur and she makes the weirdest faces when she is doing a love scene. Totally distracting froggy looking. :blink::lol:

Over the Hedge Very cute. :)

Xmen 3: The Last Stand I liked this one but I wanted to get to know Angel. He was really a blink and you will miss him character. And I was floored when I recoginized McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy as the guy that could make multiple copies of himself. :lol:

Yeah. The writing was the weak point there. By the time they checked into their 6th Homeless Shelter, I was done. The story dragged and dragged and dragged and dragged, and then the ending came out of no where. It was not a feel good movie, at all. I felt like there was no pay off.

I love that movie! Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths are just great together, and ya, ABBA is a bonus. :)

I always thought that if that movie had been made in America it would have starred Juliette Lewis and Ricky Lake..... :lol::lol:

*****

Just watched Frida, finally, being that she is one of my fav artist, and I adore Salma...... the movie was GREAT! Very true to her life, altough her affair with N. Muray seems to have been casually left out :blink:

The director did a great job, very cool style and the movie length was just right....biopics can tend to be long and boring, but not this one....

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
