You look pretty awesome on mine too! :)<br /><br />Just popping in to say thank you for your great comment. I really appreciate the time and thought that you put into it. And it's good to know that I'm not the only one too slow on the uptake to deal with people like her. LOL (I'm one of those that .."later that night"... thinks of the perfect response.) Truth is, I don't want to fight with her. If she was a half way decent person I wouldn't care about what she was doing. She's just such a bitch though... ;)<br /><br />Sorry about your relationship with your Mum. Mother's can really screw their kids over. I hope that I'm doing okay by mine. It's just so hard to tell. I have 4 kids and all of them are different. I have to be so many things to all of them and it's tough. I guess I can only hope that they turn out okay! <br /><br />Anyhow...I've rambled and I apologize. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the time and thought that you put into the comment. It helped. Really. :)<br />Take care!<br />((Hugs))<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226811839348899360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-29786118426009210752009-06-09T08:50:07.135-04:002009-06-09T08:50:07.135-04:00I don't like the comic book thing either BB.

The absurdity of it stroke me oddly and I was almost thrown out the theater. I agree with what you wrote about the aliens, if they had never been seen it would have held more mystery. <br /><br />Vigil: The mad mistress of the house makes final decisions over such items and I have little input. Say what you will but past experience has taught me that when dealing with my wife and her family it is better to let them learn something on their own.<br /><br />Although I still prefer to go to the theater for a real movie experience.<br /><br />'Slayer: Have to make a distinction between rednecks. As with any group a spectrum exists with an extreme on one end in this case. Frankly I've met some people that are rednecks that proverbially have more smarts than a lot of college types. One fellow and his family lives simply in a small but respectable house with his interests leaning heavily on the outdoors with hunting and fishing. He buys nothing on credit cards and calls most political types, both left and right, things that I really don't feel like repeating. His personal bent on issues does not follow any ideology and comes with some surprising and unexpected twists.<br /><br />Then again their are the rednecks I wrote about in this post which much to my dismay follow very closely to my description.<br /><br />Out of all the recent movies I rented "Quantum of Solace" was a huge disappointment. I personally liked the last Bond film and had high hopes for the Craig's new one.<br /><br />MadMike: Some how I saw you liking "Endless Summer", don't know why though. I enjoy actions flicks myself but I tend to shy away from comic book movies. Its that way in books as well. It bugs the Hell out of me to see all the video game and comic book novels flooding the shelves.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-58910022604307472662009-06-08T16:23:17.409-04:002009-06-08T16:23:17.409-04:00I liked all but 5, 7, 9 and 10.

I prefer Scotch, which will also get ya, but in a more gentle way if you catch my meaning.<br /><br />I agree with Vigil but I still rent from the local video store. I have the no late fee, three movies at a time plan. I invariably rent Blu-Ray. <br /><br />I am also a big theater goer especially for the action flicks like Star Trek, I am Legend, X-Men, and etc. I enjoy those movies that help me forget that I am living in the 21st Century:-)Kentucky Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753739401363847764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-89502025372075920632009-06-08T14:56:39.699-04:002009-06-08T14:56:39.699-04:00I take pride in being a redneck (no, you don't...I take pride in being a redneck (no, you don't have to be white to be a redneck, it's a mentality).<br /><br /><b>I Am Legend</b> - 'Twas ok.<br /><br /><b>Forrest Gump</b> - An ok movie, just overhyped and overrated.

I would have had more respect for the movie. <br /><br />I'm always hearing that we should have enough provisions stored up for at least 72 hours. I've got 4 kids.. if my food lasts a day I feel good. It does worry me every so often though. Wondering what would happen to us if something big did occur and we didn't have any supplies..Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226811839348899360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-25477716786879288662009-06-07T20:03:46.539-04:002009-06-07T20:03:46.539-04:00Lime: For us there is a good possibility that any ...Lime: For us there is a good possibility that any movie we rent will for some reason not be watched. Usually it involves some issue with the kids that interrupts us for a couple of hours. After Wiggles has returned to bed or Spoilboy was picked up or dropped off at a friends house its too late to start a movie. Sundays suck for watching anything because of even more interruptions and the movie or movies end up sitting next the DVD player.<br /><br />Suzan: Thank you so much but I actually have some fun with my in-laws who collectively view me as some sort of knuckle dragging redneck neanderthal. I find them hugely boring and pretentious so when we are around them and they want to go do something I'm able to skip whatever activity they have planned and kick back and relax.<br /><br />Marja: One of the best times I ever had was at my youngest brother's house watching Forrest Gump. It was a very rainy Sunday afternoon, cold dark and grey. We had spent the weekend with him and his wife and the previous day we had cooked out, drank beer, and told stories about old family adventures. Time was coming for my kids and I to return home that Sunday afternoon but the comfort of the company, warmth of the house, and the story of Forrest Gump sapped any strength I had for driving.<br /><br />As the years passed for Forrest I felt myself remembering what the family had went through those same years and how much I thought those times were somehow better than what we were going through now.<br /><br />Rabbit: I will definitely catch Revolver. <br /><br />Sunshine: Yeah, call it a personal character fault of extreme dimensions but I've liked most of his stuff except "The Sixth Sense". Frankly, I loved "Signs" even though it was more silly than a comic book movie. I like that sense of impending danger and possible extinction.<br /><br />On a more serious note while I don't have supplies stored away for the end of the world I find myself wondering at times when something might jump up and bite us on the ass. About two years I was recruited by the hospital I work for to get a ham radio license. A ham station was going to be setup so if internet, cell, and land line communications failed the hospital would be able to talk with someone, who that might be if all other forms of communication failed I have no idea.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-5910707964621810052009-06-07T14:24:40.319-04:002009-06-07T14:24:40.319-04:00OMG B.B.!

M.Knight IMO was a one hit wonder. <br />Benjamin Button was pretty good. I thought it a tad long but I did see it at the show. A Curious Case of Numb Bum was setting in. <br />Loved I am Legend. I really like Will Smith though. Have you seen 7 Pounds yet? Laura loved it!<br />Forrest Gump. Anybody that doesn't like that movie should be taken out back and shot.<br />With the exception of The Happening I think that I like everything you've seen. :)<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226811839348899360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-21896644533367835262009-06-06T19:33:41.866-04:002009-06-06T19:33:41.866-04:00dude,watch REVOLVER.
