FILMS you've Never heard of that you SHOULD SEE

[ianm]

i dunno, is it just me that isn't keen on skinny women or what, i get belittled and jumped on when i say meggan fox is too skinny

[rossable]

who is megan fox? (did a quick google image search.)
oh. her.

i'll agree with you. she's borderline for me though. make her gain 25lb and i would be fine. seeing even one rib is too much. girls should be healthy and content, not disillusioned that everyone must look perfect. most the model's photos are retouched to make them even thinner anyway, no one can look like that and be healthy. every time i see a fashion model wannabe i want to hand them a big mac.

[ianm]

a big mac huh? that's either being evil or being just downright plain sadistic :D :p

[rossable]

thank you. i'd say i try but it just comes so naturally that i can truthfully say i don't.

I got a good movie that you should watch an it is Carol's Journey it is a great fiml because it talks about a young girls teenage life. It is set in the war torn country of Spain during the Civil War Era.

hmm, Leon isn't really unknown i'd say, good movie (we are talking luc beson and jean reno right?) 12 monkeys was just plain odd

[Cwilk]

I would like to think that most people have heard of 12 Monkeys. I just finished watching it again last night. What a fantastic movie!!!!! I'm not a Brad Pitt fan, but he is so hilarious in this role. Terry Gilliam pulls off everything so perfectly. I love that you're mind is heading in one direction about what really happens and then all of a sudden you're whipped back into another direction and you figure out that you were totally wrong.

I didn't care at all for Requiem for Dream.
