Last Movie You Watched

[Damien the Leper]

Saw "Jack the Giant Slayer". It was okay.

[Damien the Leper]

Tonight I again watched "Not Without My Daughter" starring Sally Field... what a story... what a brave woman to risk so much to escape from Iran with her daughter.

Reminded me of how fortunate we are here in the U.S. where women have rights and their voices are heard.

I saw that movie my senior year in high school. It caused some problems with conservative parents since the movie was watched after 9-11. I remember that week very well. I got suspended for ten days for wearing a t-shirt with Karl Marx, Angela Davis, John Lennon and Patti Smith's faces on it.

Years ago when I was young, I worked numerous part-time jobs to earn spending money, mostly as a sales girl in shops, etc., This one time I worked as a counter girl in a dry cleaning shop. When the clothes would come in we had to go through the pockets for any objects, tissue, etc. Anything remotely of value we'd put in an envelope and attach it to the ticket to be returned to the customer.

This one time I was checking things and I felt something on the back of the lapel of a men's suit coat. I turned it over and it was a little round lapel pin of Karl Marx... the side view of his head that was so famous... pinned to the backside of the lapel. So I thought to myself... hiding it huh? So when I readied the suit for pickup, I took the pin out of the envelope and pinned it to the front of the lapel, thinking, okay... if you are going to follow Marx why hide it? Ha! I wasn't there when he picked up his order... wonder what he thought...

I'm not ashamed to say I support Marxist ideals. I will admit that I'm hesitant to admit I'm a BYU Rugby fan. Shhh...don't tell.

[Calm]

Rugby has no borders.

[Damien the Leper]

If Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus play sports...it would definitely be rugby. Though I'm not sure I agree with Pres. Faust that God's language is Portuguese.

I've had pneumonia for a few days so yesterday I decided to have a Lord of the Rings movie marathon. Every time I watch these films I'm reminded of how great they are. I couldn't find my extended editions, though, so I decided to just watch the regular versions.

[thesometimesaint]

High Noon with Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. An oldie but a goody.

[bluebell]

I just watched Babylon AD on T.V. Talk about dumb. Wow.

I'm still in shock i sat through the whole thing...

Not fun! (At least, the pneumonia part ...) Get well!

Went last night to see "OZ, The Great and Powerful", with all the grand babies and my kids. They are all grown now (kids that is) so it was cool for us all to go out together. Not an Oscar winning movie, but alright.

I am afraid to ask you where you grew up.

Some school boards/teachers/principals have way too much time on their hands, imo....or are putting way too much time into the wrong thing.

Hope you feel better. This year I've heard of way too many people coming down with this, including my mom. Before it would go for a couple of years between hearing someone having it. What is it with this year?

Wickenburg, AZ. It is heavily influenced by conservatism and Evangelical churches. Especially by Assembly of God, Community Alliance Church, Southern Baptists, and Presbyterians.

What made the situation ridiculous was the fact that I had bought the shirt my sophomore year and had been wearing it to school for some time. I was accused of being "insensitive". I thought that interesting considering the shirt had nothing to do with terrorism.

[Damien the Leper]

Also, I almost got arrested last month for holding up a sign that said "ARM THE HOMELESS". It was at a 2nd Amendment demonstration. I guess the uneducated rednecks didn't understand that I'm all for 2nd Amendment rights. I was told that I was disturbing a peaceful demonstration. I didn't say a single word to anyone. I just stood there with my sign. Americans are so sensitive...

And was the wrong ideology as well.

[Damien the Leper]

And was the wrong ideology as well.

Completely! Americans nationwide felt victimized, and rightly so. However, the need to lash out at anything perceived as "un-American" prevailed and continues to prevail to this day. I have a red shirt with a yellow hammer and sickle on it. It's no secret here on this board that I support Communism. But there is a poorly assumed false association with Russian, Cuban, N. Korean and Chinese political, economical and sociological ethics.

Ran out and bought Les Miserables today and finished just now with a huge lump in my throat. Hollywood still cranks out the good movies, thank heavens. This movie was so "real" in human emotion. The actors were magnificent.

Watched the first of The Hobbit trilogy. So far it has been well done.

[Garden Girl]

I've been so caught up in the March Madness tournament that I'm going to watch "Hoosiers" starring Gene Hackman and Barbara Hershey... inspiring fact-based story.

Did anyone see the Florida Gulf Coast Univ games? Small school, only two years eligible for NCAA... seeded No. 15 and just pulled another upset on San Diego State Univ. This will be the first time that a 15 seed has gone to the Sweet Sixteen...

Saw Olympus Has Fallen. It was great but very violent.

Olympus Has Fallen was AWESOME. It's insanely violent, and I loved every minute of it. If you're okay with lots of intense violence and some language, go see it. Just make sure you check your brain the door first and you'll have fun.

I did love it. It was definitely interesting to see a terrorist cell that wasn't Middle Eastern or Russian.
