Let's Talk Movie Review



Recommended Posts

I really liked Touch of Evil. It was a Hitchcock, right? Or am I confused again?

you are confused...Orson Welles was the producer, director and actor

We saw Stephen King's Desperation recently. It was kinda dumb. It could have been good, but it just wasn't.

I think SK's movies are hit or miss. Some are good, but some just aren't. I wonder why?

Could not agree more. I think the material just does not lend itself well to screen adaptation. Personally, I think it's because his books extremely detailed, and there's no way the movies could squeeze in all that stuff (without making it a multi part, like LOTR)

Gollum, gollum.... (said as Smeagal hacking up a fur ball)

In typing that, and in acting it out at my desk, I just realized I need my coffee. Oh, and that I'm a nerd.

When I read (past and present tense) the books, I pronounced his name as if it was someone having great difficulty in swallowing something...oppposite of hacking one up..so same, but different.

I too need more coffee.< /p>

Yes. Yes you are. But I dig that. I'm certainly not afraid to embrace my inner geek. Actually, it's not all that "inner"...

Yes. Yes you do.

I'm ready to go home, plz. If anybody sees my boss, send her my way, K?

True, some are not even worth a moment in time, but if any of you get the chance, watch "The Mist". It's crazy good and follows well with his short story. It just came out not more than a few years ago.

If you get the chance to read the short story. It will turn you inside out!! The man can write no doubt.

Watch it with the Citizen Kane jokes. :crying:

Hey, Mr. Mac gets his CPAP machine on Tues. I can't wait! They are making him take a class on it before they give it to him. That seems like overkill to me.

Not many movies watched over the weekend - too much company and stuff. However, did manage to squeeze in:

Captain Corelli's mandolin - 2

Don't bother to knock - 2

All the Kings men - 3

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
