The Hall of Fire

I went and saw it yesterday. It was a good movie, not the best I have seen, but a good movie. The dino stampeed was a bit much. The bugs were gross. And I kept thinking, like others, what the heck is she doing climbing up the building in high heels. Plus it was December in New York and she was in a ...

One thing about PJ, he likes making a loooong movie.

I had to read Chapter 5 twice to keep track of who was speaking to and about whom

Yeah...I'm not the only one having to figure out who is who.

Hum, I am done reading chapters 5-8. Things I have learned, drinking a bottle of wine a day is not a good idea. Chapter 8 is something. I am feeling a bit sorry for Elizabeth staying there taking care of Jane and the cattiness of the other women. Like walking three miles is a bad thing. And what’s u...

I think Christmas should be celebrated in the spring. And I agree that its our behavior that has made the holiday what it is.

Maybe Festivus for the Rest of us in the place for all the stuff in December.

I am ready to move on, even started reading the other chapters...

No not Faramir, think further back..

I have always pictured Ralph as......Fëanor.

Always walk a mile in the other persons shoes, that way when you argue you'll be a mile away. I would love to see a set of rules of debate somewhere. I am so sick of the simple yes/no debates. I loved to debate in college, in fact one time we debated the importance of coyotes. I was given the task o...

Ok the first line....I was very mucy amused by. The first two chapters, seemed very fast. I felt like I was placed right in the room in the middle fo a conversation. Mr. Bennet seems to be very much a 'yes dear' type of husband. I can see him sitting there (if it was set in modern day) reading the p...

I am so ready to see if Jack Black can pull this off. I will be plenty happy if he did. I loved him in Shallow Hal.

Alatar, Perhaps you know of some of the Manx stories also. I was researching this once. There is a whole series of stuff that I looked into. The most intresting was the belief of some that Rohan was based on not the Vikings, but the Poles. I know off topic, sorry, but it was pretty interesting. I am...

I so badly want to type 'typical'. I find Irony of this sort amazing. "well we won't be going to Church this Sunday because its Christmas" It's also one of my pet peeves about many christian churches (not Christians, I don't need to be lynched yet), that they profess to follow the teaching...

I have heard good reviews on this also.

I hope its good, my son loves Kong.

I would like to toss my hat in this arena. I have read Austen's Emma, and S&S, but I have never read P&P...should be fun.

I agree that the trend of secularization of the Christmas/Channukah is overwhelmingly bad for all holidays. I strongly feel that Valentines day is a mere ploy from business to drum up more business. I often wonder, since I am in a different part of the world and don't know, if Moslems have the same ...

I am hearing that top generals are not comfortable reporting the reality of Iraq to the defense department. This Gen. Pace makes me feel much better about things.

I played the clarinet for three years in a band. It was nice. I also was in choir. I was in a duo with my friend Janet once. We did Hello Darkness. We took it to State :) Everytime I hear it now I sing. I did Simons part, she did Garfunkle. I also play the piano, but not well anymore. I can also dir...

Ahem.... For those of you who don't know, my first love is Star Wars (gasp!). It helped me through a very difficult childhood. I then found Tolkien and a new love was started and I took on the name of Ari-anna (via TinyDancer :oops: ) and then Ara-anna. But I figured what the heck, might as well dan...
