My 15 yr old went to see Hulk tonight and she wasnt crazy about it..Her

friend said it was too much talking..Dont know what that means though..

But everyone has there own thoughts about movies.

We rented break away last night,. that was good. It was with the kid who

played superman on the tv series..

Anyone else see any good movies lately?

[Guest guest]

Joe..Yeh i would like to see that also..And man do I wished I looked like

Demi..lol

Why is your friend having another surgery after birth? Did they herniate

again.? It must be bad being preg with a bad back. Preg along kills your back I

cant imagine having problmes on top of that..

I wish her the best of luck..

[Guest guest]

Oh yes the famouse Publix...lol Fl the cost of living is soooo much cheaper

then here but the pay isnt that great..

I lived there for 12 years. Hated every second of heat that hit my body...lol

My parents were there for over 20 till they moved here last year. Only cause

all us kids are here and sinc they were getting older thought it would be wise

to be close...

Joe I dont even think I have a pic to send you..I just cut my hair so will

have to get some updated ones..I am not all that..lol

[Guest guest]

Connie I am here..Look see me waving..helllloooooo Connie...lol

I even just sent you a email...hmmm wonder why..

If you get this let me know..

Connie -

Your daughter would like the animated movie called

" Spirited Away. " It's made by the most famous Japanese

director, Hayao Miyazaki, the Spielberg of Japan.

You have to trust me on this one, but I'm betting she will.

joe

[Guest guest]

Is it a new release out or is it already on video? I'll check it out, thanks!

And I do trust you completely, she still surprises me sometimes but the variety

of things she likes, some that you'd never guess, amazes me sometimes. Here's an

example... in the grocery store, she ASKS for fruit or vegies.. and ignores the

candy aisle. I'm always tossing Easter or Halloween candy. Last Halloween she

got really sick, but before that she was out for about an hour, got a LOT of

candy. I threw out more than 3/4 of it just before Christmas. She did eat some,

and has a sweet tooth sometimes, but she's always been that way. I'm glad b/c

I'm such a picky eater and I don't eat many veggies or fruits myself. I pushed

myself when I was pregnant to eat peaches.. tho it had to be baby food peaches

(all natural) and other fruits b/c I just couldnt look at reg. fruit, even the

fruit I do like b/c it just made me queezy. I even ate baby food plums and I

Hate plums, but wanted her to have it. Yes

I am Weird ok??? LOL Jk

I'm looking forward to seeing " Charlie's Angels " with a buddy

who is moving with his wife to Florida in a couple of weeks.

His wife has had 2 surgeries at L4-5 and is now pregnant and

will be having a fusion after she gives birth.

So, which Angel do you look like? Lucy Liu, Cameron ,

or Drew Barrymore? Or do you look more like Demi ?

Have you told your husband you're leaving him yet? LOL

joe

[Guest guest]

Cool, thanks! I got another coupon for a free video rental in todays paper so

I'll go check to see if I can get it, thanks for the info! Will let ya know

if/when we get it, it's supposed to be sunny all week so may not get it till

next week or when its going to rain, I cant keep the kid inside long enough hehe

Wow can her back handle the pregancy ok Joe? Tho I'm single I still have hopes

of someday meeting someone and having more kids, but with my pain dont know how

I could tolerate the pain (b/c I would not take any pain meds) with the weight

gain. She sounds amazing and strong, going thru 2 surgeries and facing a fusion

after the birth of the baby. Is she in a lot of pain now wiht her back? If you

don't know all the answers I understand, like I said I still want more if

possible and have no doubts about it, just scared at the pain I'd be facing and

more than likely, bed-bound (hush again lol)

It was bad, she was on medical leave and both she and her

husband were laid off from Nortel. He was let go while she

was on med leave and as soon as she got back, she was

going to be let go as well. It wasn't just them, a lot of good

people had been let go. I couldn't even help them with the

pull I had.

I thought my friend had a lot of guts pulling up stakes and

moving to Florida without having jobs, but have since learned

his wife's parents live in the area. They both plan to go to

work in the adminstrative wing of the Publix grocery chain.

(Floridians and us ex-Floridians will know this common chain)

Hey , shoot me a pic so I can tell you who you look like.

You better start preparing your husband for the bad news.

Hugh Grant (think thats his name) and Bullock.. the two movies came out

Now re-reading, sounds like you answered the questions I asked and you're

answering to LOL

I know of Publix, on my trips to FL that's where we'd shop to stock up on food

for the hotel, was fun cooking in the hotel then taking our food out to the

beach to eat. Was the first and only time I've stayed at a hotel that was on the

beach and still shocked we only paid $85/night, it was summer but still thats so

cheap. The cheapest rate at a hotel that's 30 min away from Cedar Points is

$85/night!

I haven't seen " 8 Mile " or " Maid in Manhattan " yet, but they're

still on PPV and there's always next weekend. A few of the

movies I've seen in the past weeks are listed below. Besides

massages, they are my only splurge. I do pay 17 bucks a month

for my internet connection.

Bruce Almighty

2 Fast 2 Furious

Italian Job

Matrix Reloaded

X-men II

I have a few old time movies that I love to watch every

time I catch them on. If you ever see these in the bargain

bin, pick them up. I think they are enjoyable.

Day the Earth Stood Still (Sci-Fi)

When Worlds Collide (Sci-Fi)

The Replacements (Comedy)

The Fifth Element (Sci-Fi, Comedy, Action)

My Best Friend is a Vampire (Comedy, Action)

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (Comedy with a message)

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (Bust your sides comedy!)

Give them a look, tell me what you think.

Connie -

I'm really more of a friend with her husband. The NS she

sees here in NC only fuses on the third date. So I'm assuming

she herniated a 2nd time.

I really think she should consider ADR. I'm not going to get

my Lumbar fused unless agrees to leave her husband and

come down here with me! LOL.

All I could say when he told me she was pregnant was " please make

sure that no matter what happens, you keep her on some kind of

medical insurance no matter what it costs. "

joe

[Guest guest]

I havent seen 8 Mile but have wanted to, what's your take on how that was?

> I haven't seen " 8 Mile " or " Maid in Manhattan " yet

Connie's answers....

> Bruce Almighty (still have to see)

> 2 Fast 2 Furious (another still have to see)

> Italian Job (havent heard of that one I dont think)

> Matrix Reloaded (have to see yet)

> X-men II (haven't seen but will rent first one and 2nd same night so I can

follow it, memory probs thanks to meds lol)

I really liked Behind Enemy Lines and it was priced wrong at $4.99 at Kmart one

day when I went in to get pictures, I grabbed it and told them of the mistake

after I had purchased it... hey not my fault they priced it wrong LOL Also got

Mission to Mars, had rented that maybe a year ago and they had that marked to

$3.99 and got that the same day as Behind Enemy Lines. Took it out of grocery

money I buy stuff when I have coupons and what I buy is on sale, if it's a

really good deal I stock up a bit. Anyhow, I love buying movies but with money

so tight I rarely can, Kaylee pushed me to get these 2 saying I should quit

buying for her and get something for me for a change... I thought that was

sweet. She also liked Behind Enemy Lines, who knew!

" Mission to Mars " is on my Hits list, too. Left it out.

Meds make me stupid. I really thought it was neat.

joe

[Guest guest]

My meds are kickin in too, forgot to add that Kaylee also liked that one. She's

into space and science bigtime. She loved Men In Black I & II also. When I had a

roommate when I first was put off work, well long story but at the time he told

me to not worry about anything, tho I didnt want to get extras he encouraged me

to buy a movie if I wanted it.. so, I got into the bargin bins at different

stores and really got a lot of movies at that time, well movies for me as Kaylee

had a Ton of Disney. Usually for every 2 or 3 for me, I got her one or a

computer game or some toy, I couldnt spend money on just myself. Anyhow I have a

Huge collection of movies now. Had also joined one of the movie clubs, get 12

free and buy 3 over the next 2 years or whatever, so I got quite a few that way

also. I do have 2 vcr's (one is my dads old one) but can't get the sound to work

on it when I record, have had a couple ppl check the hookups in case I was

missing something, can't explain why when I

copy a movie, any videotape, it records the movie but no sound (a tiny bit if

you turn up the volume all the way). If I get it figured out I'd be glad to make

a copy of Mission to Mars for you, but understand if you're like me and say

thanks, but I like to have the original sleeve to the movie...hehehe Then again

you may buy DVD. I got a DVD when I got my settlement (disability back pay) but

still only buy VHS as the old ones, as I said, I've gotten for $3.99. DVD that

old is only a few bucks cheaper than the new releases, so for me its better to

go with the cheapest I can. If you like I can see if Kfart by chance has any

left at that price, I know other places I've looked it's 6.99, 9.99 tops.

I better get to bed, I have pt tomorrow and a lot of calls, #1 being my apt

manager.. AC went out tonight about 8pm, glad it waited cause it was hot today!

Hopefully they can get someone here tomorrow as it's supposed to be 90. If not

I'll just stay in the pool at therapy all day LOL Thanks for the talks everyone,

next time maybe we can use an instant messenger, I feel bad about answering

every post seperately but was better than one long email.. I do that enough as

it is to you all lol

Connie, I agree that you have to review why a

movie might have rec’d a PG-13 rating & then

decide on an individual basis. We’ve let our kids

watch an occasional PG-13, even R-rated movies.

An R rating on The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly or

Dirty Harry is more like today’s PG-13. For

PG-13, Waking Ned Devine & X-Men 2 were allowed.

The Matrix (#1) we just let them see 2 weeks ago.

As for cuss words, we’ve taught out kids there are

appropriate times to swear. They’ve also learned

that most people swear b/c they lack a sufficient

vocabulary to express themselves.

Gotta run, we’re off to the Museum of Tolerance!

I shouldn’t even have answered this, but my pc has

been down for several days & I’d like to say more.

I’ll catch up later, cuz my daughter is saying,

“Mommmmmmmm!”

Movies...

,

Nope, never heard of either one. Like I had

originally said, I was just curious about what Joe

thought of it, it is quite different from the tv

shows we watched when we were kids and I have no

interest in the movie, just thought I'd get his

opinion of it since he saw it. I don't think

Kaylee's interested in it.. but I will tell ya, I

got all the Planet of the Apes movies from the

library and we watched them one weekend this past

winter, then bought the new movie that came out,

and she LOVED it. I was surprised she'd like it,

but she has a huge variety of interests that span

so far apart, I think it's awesome. Think about

it, a 10yr old that will sit and watch a Winnie

the Pooh movie or -Kate and movie, then

turn around and watch the Planet of the Apes LOL

As far as PG-13, if its just swearing that doesn't

bother me, she knows not to repeat what she hears,

and she hears it from me on occassion (with oops

I'm sorry afterwards), so I really don't pay

attention to the ratings. If there's nude scenes,

no, I won't let her watch that. I'm a huge

fan and I let her watch Stepmom which is

PG-13 b/c I thought it was a good one for her to

see. Brockovich was rated R, since there were

no nude scenes I'd say for the language... again I

let her watch that b/c I thought it was a good

learning experience of how a single mom with 3

kids fought like hell to get a job, then fought

for what was right... not for the money, for

helping people. These days saying shit or damn is

so common it seems that I just taught Kaylee

saying it is wrong, and she may hear me say

things, she hears worse sometimes in the store...

but she knows right from wrong and tho she's only

10, to me if she gets the message behind the story

(ie Brockovic

h)that's what matters. Nobody is perfect and I

sure am not, I just do what I think is best for

her. The 2 things she mentioned when we first saw

that movie, well I mentioned wow she swears a lot

and Kaylee said yeah, and she showed off her boobs

a lot! I laughed and said, well, if ya have the

body flaunt it, I just don't have the body haha I

give her credit tho (the real life ), tho

people may not agree with her clothing, that's not

what makes a person, what she stood for (and still

today stands for) is who she is. I read that

obviously this was years ago this all happened,

her one daughter was in college, her son got into

drugs and trouble... I don't think it's how she

raised them (tho I only saw the movie I don't know

her personally), the nicest and richest people can

have kids that make mistakes... but I don't know

any of us that have not made mistakes in our

lives.

Anyhow that's my opinion on movies and their

ratings
