YES! Makes me cry every time. It is indeed beautifully written and acted and directed too.
You do realize she has RA - don't you? The disease is bad enough but the steroid treatment causes weight gain. Just like the old HIV drugs once caused the "buffalo hump" Lipodystrophy - sometimes the treatment for a disease has major side effects.
But then I see how aptly named you are and I get why you would say such a thing.
I'm sensing a relapse for Christy. Don't know why either.
Did I miss something? Why would they simply not torch the house they were trying to get into and bake the people inside? I have to admit I didn't do a full on sit-down undivided attention watch of the movie so I may have missed the rational. All I saw was all crime is legal.
... or could be Earth finally dies and Earth's refugees flood Pandora as illegal aliens who just want to live there after they terraform the planet ...
The best joke in the movie was the line that follows the "Whatcha gonna do with all that junk?" - when the producer says it "dated". She's the producer of a 60's kid show and she's calling Black Eyed Peas "dated".
I would wager most people watching this movie have no clue this was really a kids show in the 60's.
Yes, it is silly. But it is also very offensive for a woman (or man for that matter) to be judged on nothing more except how do-able she/he is (or isn't). The bong dude went from the range of 12 year old in the throws of raging hormones of puberty and Benjamin Buttoned his dialogue down to that of a petulant 5 year old.
Ah yes, personal attack, the last bastion of those without ground on which to stand.
I'm sure Michelle has cleared her calendar just for you. Pity you can take such a wickedly delicious story line and reduce it down into an episode of Hot or Not.
As Lex Luthor would say you're one of those people who could read War and Peace and think it is only an adventure novel.
So?
I didn't "love love love" it but liked it enough to have a copy of it. The bit with Al Pachino was hilarious. I love seeing a "serious" actor do things like that. It has a good structure to it writing wise.
"Emily Hartley" was my role model. She had everything I wanted in life (especially a husband like Bob).
He's worth $70 million dollars. I personally like to think there are actors out there who have "made it" in terms of "enough" money and like to take on projects to help up and coming people in the business. I'm sure these "B" movies still pay in the million to five million range - "giggle money" as Elton John calls it. Maybe I'm delusional but I'll cling to it.
Infantile? In contrast to watching a show just to complain about it?
Meryl Streep greeted Anne Hathaway on the first day of "The Devil Wears Prada" and told her specifically that this is the last nice thing she is going to say to her until filming wraps. Just in case you need another example of a method actor.
What I liked best is Victoria didn't let it strip her of her dignity and at the same time she showed compassion to a person who had zero control over the consequence into which he was born - which added to her dignity.
You took my answer! Gotta love some Heath Barkley. How gracious Ma Barkley was to her dead husband's illegitimate child.
At the very end (when you see a shot of Woody from behind) there are scratches in his hair paint. That too would diminish his value even more.
Wouldn't it have been neat if an adult Sid with his child was at the carnival trying to win toys for his son who only planned to mangle them - or blow them up? Woody and his crew weren't "matching up" kids and toys - they were passing out the toys at random.
You poor thing.
