Resurrecting the Movies thread...
Front-Ranger:
That was a very poignant post, Barb. I think it's possible to have that kind of relationship with someone, not necessarily of the same gender, but certainly not with one's spouse.
I saw the trailer for Miss Potter and I don't think I'll be seeing it, because I can't stand to look at Renee Zellweger's face!! The review in The New Yorker was not all that good either.

I can't stand Renee Zellweger's face, either! She always looks like she just swallowed a bug. I don't know who it was who put it in her head that that smarmy, pursed-lip grin of hers is the least bit attractive. But they were wrong.
Yes, Leslie, I think you, Lee and I should go to the movies together. We seem to have the same taste. Too bad we're scattered all over the country - practically in a diametrically opposite triangle, in fact.
I'm going to go see Pan's Labyrinth today at 2:20. Can't wait!!! Wish you all could join me. :)
Front-Ranger:
My daughter's words to me before I saw Pan's Labyrinth were "it's a little violent." Well, no sh**!!! Just so you'll be prepared!

I am not sure if I should post this here, but has anybody seen Little Children?

Count me in as a member of the "not able to stand Renee Zellweger's face" club!
Anthony Lane's review of "Miss Potter" in the New Yorker is hilarious. He talks about how Ewan McGregor's character "is required to utter the line, 'We shall give them a bunny book to conjure with." :P Then he writes, "Only one man on earth can speak those words with a straight face, and that is Hugh Hefner." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I was considering taking my kids to "Pan's Labyrinth," but because it is R I looked it up on one of those parent/movie websites (my kids can see some R movies, no problem -- "28 Days Later," "V for Vendetta," "Little Miss Sunshine," "The Royal Tennenbaums," "Collateral" -- but not others). Anyway, the site had a list describing every single act of violence in the movie, and it sounded so sickening that by the end I didn't even want to see it.
Other than that, did you like it, Lee? ("Other than that, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?" :laugh:)
