looks just like winston churchill. They all do..

well, by my calculations, you are well into 08. So, for those of us still waiting, how's it shaping up?
-
ooh...oooh.. I have a great combo.
I have been told, at various times, by persons apparently delusional, that I looked like
Ed Harris
Bruce Willis
David Lee Roth..
I don't think any of those is even remotely true, btw. When I had long hair, I could almost see a DL Roth connection... maybe... well, we were both blond with high cheekbones.. two eyes and a mouth..

He definitely is eloquent. And I have to admit a few of his lines made me smile, even chuckle. The "nothing in common" line made me out right laugh. And he sure is not afraid to speak his mind.... wow. Food for thought... Although I may not agree with everything he says, I respect that he at least appears to have done his homework before he rants. That's saying a lot in this time of more and more people becoming sheeple. (just my 2 cents)
It's the high british accent. make everything sound smart and friendly. If the guy who came to america hadn't had a cockney accent, we probably wouldn't have objected to the stamp tax..

just saw it, and man, it would have been some much more of what it was if they had made it

It never fails to amaze me how many things could in fact unify this closeminded world if we as a people could look past what most people see as differences. These differences are there to show us how vast our concepts of the Divine can be. Instead of seeing them as stumbling blocks why not use them as stepping stones to lift us higher? I love the idea that the Divine is also very human and can love, hurt , and understand us. If this is true, then consider that the way we know someone and the name we know them by may be different form others but dosen't change who and what that someone is. This is part of what makes the world and it's people beatiful reflections of their Divine Makers.
They started it..
welcome aboard..

Has anyone caught the flak coming out of Iran about this flick?
yes. Course they would have objected to a historically accurate movie as well, since the Persian army got spanked and sent home at that battle.
-
I just got out of the theatre from watching this and I was disappointed. I was hoping they would make it more historically accurate but it felt like LOTR mixed with Gladiator.
I enjoyed the History Channels 2 hour special about the incident more than I enjoyed the movie.
Edit: Im not saying it was a bad movie and I would never discourage someone from seeing it but dont go to see it hoping to see a historical movie because they fight more monsters than they do humans and the fight scenes are entertaining but not accurate.
I look forward to seeing this (have postponed it twice) but I know that I will be disappointed. One of the great battles of history, it really doesn't need the fantasy element to make a good story. Wish I had seen teh History channel program, but I got rid of cable a year ago.. maybe it is on net flix?

Unfortunately, Koki, the Hogfather has already been and gone done shown. Sorry 'bout that matey
Anyways, for those who missed it, which is all of you now ..
It was brilliant! Marvelous! A masterpiece! A work of art!
It was just so good that sometime soon I intend to buy the book and see if I can figure out what the film was meant to be about
The book is brilliant! Marvelous! A masterpiece! A work of art!
So they must have nailed it..
-
I have just learned that Hogfather is coming out in the land that perfected Tea time.
I am seriously jealous.
I will hope one of you will DVR it and upload it to me directly... That would make a good peace offering. Otherwise, I will have to boycott everything to do with Benny Hill. (cept the original "Italian Job" movie.)

Do you believe movies, (tv shows, etc...) should not be allowed to portray truth and/or fantasy? Have you ever been around while a movie is being made? Do you know many people are around, running cameras, sounds equipment, lights, directing, ready to redo makeup and hair, costume people as well as parents and child advocates when a child is involved? What you see in the final movie is far from the actual filming segments.
well, I don't put to much stock in the child advocate in the film industry. At least, in the past, we have seen some pretty messed up child stars. But, you are correct that the process of filming is usually pretty abstracted from the subject being filmed. On the other hand, the wrong director ( I won't mention any names, but Hitchcock comes to mind) will play mind games on the actors to get results they want.

Ms. Fanning, I would say, is fully capable of dealing with a scene like this. She is scary mature for her age.
Sure about that? One of the traits that make for a good actor is the ability to mimic the actions of others. Is she mature, or does she simply act mature? And when the chips are down, would you rather err by thinking her more mature than she actually is, or by thinking her more vulnerable and in need of more protection than she actually is?
well, it is ultimately not my decision, but that is an interesting point. I shall revise to say, I certainly hope she is as mature as she seems. Brilliant actress. reminds me of Jodi Foster.

I think, and I may be wrong, but if it portrays a sexual event with a minor it is child pornography. It does not matter if it is real or edited or even computer graphics. A child does not even need to be involved.
I think they backed off on the CG stuff, though I am not sure about this. Typically, the definition for pornography includes prurient interests, and excludes art and political speach, but, with the witch hunt mentality surrounding child porn, this could get messy.

my wife doesn't want to go - she is both catholic and didn't like the book which she read while reading two debunking books - so I have to wait til I can go with out her. A weekend showing when there are movies she wants to see would be very bad mojo..

I still would have preferred Rose McGowan as Bettie. She’s got that “pinup girl†look.
I don't know if Mol can pull it off. Though, I was surprised how well Mira Sorvino did as Marilyn, so I could be wrong about Gretchen, too.
I would have voted for lucy lawless..

Good grief you hardly need experts.
Anyone who has visited Paris (for instance) and used their eyes can tell you his descriptions of key buildings and artefacts are inaccurate.
I haven't seen Roslin chapel in Scotland, but I'm told by those who have that he's got that wrong as well.
The Da Vinci code has hit a chord in that there is a hidden female history in Christianity. But if it's the one he describes I'll eat a scabby monkey. Without salt.
hmmmm... scabby monkeys....droool

Film freaks? It seems not. Freaks? Quite clearly.
It also seems obvious that the conservative position clearly won in HollyWeird this year....even Jon Stewert was even-handidly moderate.
Jon is an equal opportunity satirist. He is always moderate. If he seems liberal to you, it is because you are conservative. Course, the term Hollywierd would probably have hinted at that anyway..
-
thank you to all for giving me your perspectives on this topic. I appreciate the time you took to share with me. I am at peace with my decision, and am ready to retire the issue on the forum please.
See you elsewhere on the ULC forum!
Bye,
Cheryl
Can't promise that will end it thoug

For love of the English language...the word is TENET, not TENANT. Typos I can understand. Ignorance makes us all look bad. Good thing ignorance (as opposed to stupidity) is easily correctable with the judicious application of knowledge.

oopsi.. my bad. once I got to typing it, and it looked right, I never thought to question it...
edited to say, i dint fine it insalting. I though it was funny.

I never said she was. I guess you didn't understand the point, so never mind.
but she isn't robbing a bank.
I understand she was trying to use the ULC as an excuse. To abuse the ULC in that way and claim an attack on her RELIGIOUS freedom is not doing the right thing. "Do that which is right" does not give you free reign to do whatever you want and when someone doesn't let you do that then cry about your "religious" freedom. To put it simply; you cannot rob a bank and then claim your religious beliefs said you can do it because you think it is right.
perhaps you don't understand the tenant. Her belief that it is not right, is a religious tenant. That, as they say, is that.
What the ULC tenant says, in this case, is irrelevant since her objection is to the union and not anything to do with any kind of religion or religious belief what so ever. She has ever stated that herself.The ULC tenant says.....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
then you didnt make a point. you think she is what she is doing is not right. But you dont' have authority or capacity to determine that for her. You may only say that, in a similar situation, you would not do the same.

but she isn't robbing a bank. She is making a legal objection, based upon her estimation of what is right. She is capable of making that determination. There are no restrictions placed upon the process she uses to make that determination, save that she not break the law or interfere with the right of others to make their own determinations. In fact, I would say that "Do that which is right" does give you exactly the freedom you claim it does not - with the caveat that it violation of the law is specifically exempt.
I see no reason that a member of ULC could not argue that they had a religious objection to paying Union dues simply because their personal understanding of what is right is to keep all the money they earn for themselves. She has the right to make the challenge. If she can prove her allegations of corruption, or even support them, she might have a chance of winning.
