Hi Jackie,

 

I love Seabiscuit. I must dig that out and watch it again !

 

I mainly watch light hearted films at the moment :Love Actually, As good as it gets, Somethings gotta give, The Holiday, Bridget jones diary, Pretty woman, Notting Hill. While you were sleeping... these come to mind.

arafurapearl - that reminds me - Klaus Kinski was in that film.

 

I loved Fitzcarraldo  (where he was taking opera up the Amazon).

Burden of Dreams was a documentary about the making of Fitzcarraldo. Fascinating.

I just love movies.....but when I was deep in withdrawal I had to watch kid movies like "Finding Nemo" Monsters Inc" Jimmy Nuetron was my favorite....I had to have it low key. Great distractions, though I certainly agree. :)

Benjamin Button, Forrest Gump, As Good as it Gets

 

Writer,

Loved "As good as it gets." not so much Benjamin Button. Both my son and I were surprised how much we didn't like it. :(

 

Did you see "Big Red Fish". Unusual flick :)

Yup. Read the book, saw the movie.  :thumbsup:

 

I'm glad to hear you like Finding Nemo. Mostly, I hope you liked Dorrie because if you didn't like her then you couldn't ever possibly like me.  :laugh:

Who doesn't love Doree? I love Ellen too...:) and all of the Finding Nemo Characters.

 

I have a story about Finding Nemo. I was at the dentist for a crown and it was one of my first panic attacks out. I used to love going to the dentist, but this is when the AD had turned on me and was causing anxiety and panic. I llove our dentist and had been going there for well over 10 years, maybe even 15.  There would be fun banter while I was there, in fact I would always apologize for jabbering while he was trying to work, and he was like you are the happiest patient.  ;D

 

This one time, however, I had a death grip on the dental chair and I had picked out a movie to watch that caused me more anxiety and tears were streaming down my face and my eyes looked wild in the reflection. It was so uncomfortable but I was already numb and he had already started. They changed the movie to Finding Nemo...and although I still felt panicy, it did lighten the energy in the room. I have watched it many times during my taper. Its my copy for my room. :)

 

So of course I love Finding Nemo...and I love you too...why are you a clown fish? tee hee

xoxo

Ahem, pardon me, Miss Sarah? A clown fish? A CLOWN FISH? Harumpffffffff!  :boxer:

 

Obviously you know nothing about Regal Blue Tang Fish.  :muscle::pokey:

I love your writing, sarahnorrisgurl. You have such talent. Do you even know that about yourself? I felt like I was at the dentist with you when I read your story.  :therethere:  I surely hope the "little evil girl with the braces" scene was cut from the movie while you watched. ;)

 

Really, you should try writing sometime for real. As is $$ for real. No joke.
