So, It probabley explains this in the thread...but is that a scale of 1-5 or 1-10?

What RSG?? You mean you didn't start at the beginning and read all the reviews??? :smile2::tt2:

1 - 5 rating where:

1 - I would rather remove my own eyeballs with a rusty knife than see that again. Time I will NEVER get back.

2 - ok as background noise if you are ironing or only partly listening

3 - alright movie; enjoyed it, but glad I didn't pay full price to see it at a theatre

4 - add it to the collection; good movie.

5 -oh why oh why can't they make more movies like this? This will stand the test of time for being a great movie.

I watched a few while i was blahhhhing in bed.

Slumdog Millionaire: 3.8 stars.. It was good, but I don't think it was as good as it was made to be. It held my interest though, but just not *quite* a four star movie...

Role Models: 3.5 stars. I really liked this comedy! It's been awhile since a comedy has made me laugh like this. So, if you like senseless male hormonal toilet humor, this is your movie. ;o)

Seven Pounds: 5 stars and 2 thumbs WAY up!! Wow, this one blew me away! I was not expecting such a deep drama. Get out the kleenex.

well LilMiss, I can't see us going to a movie together anytime soon! Slumdog, I agree with the comment, but would still have rated it a 4. But 7lbs as a 5 is beyond me!

Only one movie this weekend - The Negotiator...3

Last night's movies:

Alone with her - 2.5 (Great premise, just thought it was a little overacted by male actor, little unrealistic near the end)

Valkyrie - 3. Despite Tom Cruise, a good movie but still could have been better.

Last night:

Marlee & Me: 4 Stars, but I'll never watch this movie again. Ever. :blink:

I read the book and was reading a sad part at Jiffy Lube waiting on an oil change. I was bawling and tryin to be discreet - wasn't happening. The lady behind the counter made a comment about the book being that good, and I said, sobbing, "Y-y-e-s-s-s....It-is-gooooood!" sob. sob. sob.

So, yeah. I am hesitant to watch the movie - because 1) will it be as good? and 2) I need to buy tissues first.

Saw one movie over the weekend. We indulged in a "scary" flick and saw The Alphabet Killer with that chick from Dollhouse.

Yeah...scary movies sometimes just suck. I won't even rate this it was that bad.

We have 7 Pounds at home, but DH doesn't want to see it, so I'm waiting for some me time. :( Haven't gotten it yet.

Glou - a really bad movie is Doomsday. It is now my standard for horrid movies and all others are rated against it. So, the Alphabet Killer rated a 2...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
