Yeah, I remember those posts, moviefan. It didn't bother me quite so much, but that's because I'm a teenager and it's perfectly fine for guys my age to be attracted to her. Your argument is valid, however, and I can understand how that might have been uneasy for you or anyone else raising teenage da...

It's hard for me to list my favorites, but here are some of the top for me: -Yi Yi -Cure (Kyua) -Taxi Driver -LiT -Memento -In the Mood For Love -Magnolia -Rashomon -Yojimbo -Fargo -John Carpenter's The Thing -Dead Man -Down By Law -After Life -The Big Lebowski -The Shawshank Redemption -The Godfath...

Alright, I get to have the first post here. Magnolia had a similar effect as LiT on me. I, unfortunately, didn't get to say Magnolia in the theaters, seeing as I was 10 or so at the time! But when I did see it, I thought it was magnificent. I had seen "ensemble" pieces before, but never before had I...

Ithildriel is right, it is around 3 hours, and the emotional wallop it packs can be exhausting, but I'll tell you this: It was the quickest three hours of film I've ever witnessed. I'd love to talk about the movie with you sometime, Ithildriel, if you ever want to. It blew me away the first time I s...

This board really is a constant reaffirmation of the fact that there are still some caring people out there.

Very funny!

Reminds me of Gary Larson's style of humor.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a dinner at a nice Japanese restaurant for the first time. It was a cook-your-own-food place (like the Worst Lunch Ever), and I had Shabu-Shabu, which is the thinly sliced meat you see Bob and Charlotte ordering, and a whole slew of delicious vegetables. I hav...

Are you a Magnolia fan, Ithildriel?

It's one of my favorites.

And, on-topic, interesting thread. I'm not going to pretend to be smart enough to add insight, though!

Fantastic to see you back, moviefan. I'm glad your leave of absence wasn't longer- I missed these chats. I'll try to post on some of the other topics you've visited recently when I can. And I'm happy that another IMDB vet has shown up here (the goods ones always do). Nice to see you, Ithildriel. I r...

Understandable, moviefan. For you more than anyone else, LiT can probably be an exhausting experience.

I have a feeling we'll talk again, but if not-- thanks for the laughs, the witty banter, the advice, etc. I'm glad to have met you.

Ha ha, yeah, last I checked.

I think that forgiving yourself is the hardest, and it's why so many have a difficult time doing it. To a less important extent, I often confuse my own refusal to forgive myself with that of other people. I've hurt someone, and been so wrapped up in my own self-loathing for having done so that I hou...

Hey moviefan. I'll give it a crack. I don't think Lydia was any more responsible for Bob's dissatisfaction as he was himself. It's a little hard to piece together from the information we are given, but I think that, as Bob said, he had grown slightly useless in her life. Perhaps it was her fault tha...

jml, don't worry. I have no delusions about how she thinks of me. I am fairly confident she is not interested in me, nor will she ever be, and I'm okay with that. It's good enough getting to see her when I do. My summer's been okay so far. I've done more than enougb writing, and I've produced a few ...

Uggh...ignore the double post. My blasted computer.

For you, moviefan, I will give the paper some thought. And no, I don't believe you. I'm kidding. I know, of all the things I should worry about at the moment, it's hardly a top priority. There is something to be said for a good friend, and I'll do my best to keep her that. What frustrates me the mos...

haha, you're right.

It's wispy blonde, I believe.

I appreciate the compliment, Congruous. Good to see I have at least one impressive quality! moviefan- you hit the nail on the head. I understand that I can be arrogant, and it bothers me that I think that way sometimes. I'll be with a group of friends, bowling perhaps, and I'll just get a feeling li...

Thank you kindly for the advice, moviefan, and I agree. There is really no substitute for true human interaction. It's difficult, though, and I'm sorry if I'm coming off as an angsty teenager. I don't intend to do that, but I figure it's only so long until I have to embrace my own confusion and curi...
