The main thing is that they aren't four-legged creatures... and one more very important detail: make sure they don't have ten fingers.
😁😁😁

Who’s actually free? I mean, true freedom... it's being able to find liberty even when you're feeling completely tied down. 🙂

Exactly, ladies. Let's focus on actually getting something done instead of wasting energy arguing with Matthew Lopez11. He's just a complete nonentity... 🙄 😁

I don't always catch everything right away, I was just happening to be poking around the thread... 😁

The main index... showing total posts, thread counts per subforum, and who just dropped the latest comment.

And he honestly could... 🙂

So, you're telling me the heavenly kingdom is basically just one big preschool? 😲 😁
I totally messed up! Back when I was four, I flat-out refused to go... 😁

Haha
So, here’s the very first thread for everyone on this new forum... just if you guys feel like starting things up, go ahead and say hi to him... 🙂🙂🙂

P.S. Edward Patel81, did you see that gandi posted something new over in her own thread on Boston? 😁

Titanic

Must-sees if you want to be cultured:

12 Angry Men
The Seventh Seal
La Strada
Citizen Kane
Rashomon

Heavy hitters:

Seven Samurai
Blade Runner
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Think about Morricone’s work in those Spaghetti Westerns, then you’ve got Conan the Barbarian, the score for Conquest of Paradise, and even Blade Runner...

driftingeagle27 said:Yeah. (If my perspective on the world—which keeps me from drowning in tears whenever some B-list soap opera comes on TV where the hero's brother is in a wheelchair and the sister just lost her baby—makes me seem cynical, then honestly, I’m proud of that cynicism. My senses aren't "blocked," they're just sharpened. Try to grasp that "subtle" distinction...)

Well, if you're going to make claims like that, you better be prepared to live with them... 😛
And since I'm not exactly a fan, I'll just give it to you straight. 😁

As for the movie, I'll say what everyone else is saying: it's a completely trivial story told in a really original and fun way, which made the trip to the theater totally worth it. 😁

And what about actually making an argument? 😁 You need to have something substantial to work with, other than just saying, "Well, I won't let them manipulate me." 😁
It’s not like every single movie isn't doing that, one way or another...

rabbit, you’re being such a snob. 😁
Seriously, you'd probably try to give a "professional" critique to a laundry detergent commercial if you had the chance. 🙄
No matter how much you hated it, Amelie is genuinely a movie for everyone, and most people actually had a great time sitting through those two hours at the theater.
Look, if you have gripes, fine. That's your business. But is it really necessary to frame your complaints in a way that implies anyone who actually enjoyed it is just some mindless idiot? Because that’s honestly how your comments come across to me. 🙂

Besides, what are you actually so bitter about? Is it because it's a bit cheesy or because it pulls at the heartstrings of the masses? Well, isn't that exactly what it was designed to do? 🙂

And why is it that you only bring this up when it involves people you don't even like? 😁
I was on your side before too, back when you didn't tell me to just stay quiet... 🙂

It's just because people start fighting over nothing, pointing fingers and blaming each other unfairly left and right, and honestly... I just can't stand watching it happen. 😁
