He's right, in part. When women make derogatory statement about themselves ("I look fat in these pants"), we WANT you to say "No you don't!" even if you're lying. Usually. I try not to do that because I think it's crappy. But when men talk down about themselves, we don't really know how...

I think one reason for this may have been when movies first started to get big-budget in the 60's and 70's into the 80's. Even up until the 80's, male actors were fully dressed a lot of the time, whereas the women started becoming more and more scantily clad. Think of John Wayne films - is he...

Only 515 :( Just a "pure geek." Who knew being well-travelled would come back to bite me some day! Why god why!

*looks really confused* Um, ok, anyway about kids in films. Typically, the reason they are in the film is their family or friends or whatnot is/are going through something extraordinary. They don't make movies about a mom taking her kids to soccer practice. If they did, then the kids would...

Yup, sure do!

I'm in Cedar Rapids, but the bf is from Newton so we get down there every now and then.

May I add the folks that * chew popcorn with their mouths open. It's a small kernel. You can put it in your mouth, then close your mouth, then chew. Do you really not know how LOUD that is to the person sitting behind you? * Slurp their soda when there's nothing left but a few drops and...

You mentioned this several times, that you hadn't eaten. But your phone was working because you called Lowe's multiple times that day. Why not order a pizza? I mean, who would actually want to be in a stressful situation and add to it fainting-from-hunger? I refuse to believe that Lowe's is...

The only thing I've ever experienced was one night about 10 years ago. I was in my apartment, which no one else in the world had a key to, and I was sleeping soundly. My cat was sleeping in the small of my back; I was lying on my stomach. Suddenly I felt a very sharp tug, then another, at the...

I used to get up an hour early every morning when I was in high school, just to watch the top 10 video countdown on MTV. I remember when Def Leppard's "Love Bites" was #1 for like 9 weeks in a row or some other ridiculous time frame. She has big breasteses. That be why. She has an admirable...

Eric Bana is oh-so-cute. Peter O'Toole, not so much :)

Which is sort of my point, but lesser so, because you weren't angry about it, you just said it was dull, which in my opinion is perfectly fine. I guess I wonder about those that found it SO dull that they felt the need to shout it from the rooftops. What makes a movie grip you, though? There...

I'm not one to be severly disappointed in a movie, however there is one trend in today's filmmaking that I really don't like. It's the trend of directors having the camera jerk around during a battle scene so that you feel like you're "in the middle" of the fight. I'm sure some of you out...

Yeah. I'm thinking most of the people who post the "angry" reviews about movies probably saw it in the theater and feel gypped out of their money. But I guess I, while not being the most negative person on the planet, typically expect movies to just be entertaining, and so I tend to rent rather...

Over the weekend I watched Troy on DVD. I hadn't rented it before because a.) I don't watch movies just because beautiful people are in it (although HELLO Eric Bana!!), b.) I'm not that into historical battle movies, and c.) I managed to avoid reading any Homer in high school or college, and...

Ah but .. if he were truly working on the good side, why hide it from Harry? You would think he would want Harry to stop suspecting him and causing trouble for him. For me, the one reason he has to hide those memories, if those are indeed what he hid from Harry, would be because they involve...

Koontz's earlier stuff was spot-on freaky, like Phantoms and Twilight Eyes. Nowadays his writing is stunted (in my opinion), taking 4-5 paragraphs to describe a character that can all be combined into one easily readable paragraph. I think he's stretching the length of the book out, and I...

One of the problems with the original version is that it was made to appear that Jack was merely an alcoholic, and he went on a drinking binge, which spurred the violence. It concentrated more on the hotel wanting Jack than Danny. The hotel didn't give a crud about Jack, it only wanted Danny's...

For those of you who cite "The Shining," what did you think of the miniseries version that Stephen King produced a few years ago? He never liked the Jack Nicholson version, from what I hear/read. I though the miniseries version was a better film than the film version, but the blood coming down...

Well, it depends. I think her reactions to being pulled away from the tv, and her antisocial behavior towards people like his grandmother, are actually quite abnormal. To me, someone's who just has a habit of being engrossed in tv does *not* get angry and rude to loved ones when pulled away for...
