Reply to My Oscar Picks in Misc JoeUser Forums

It's interesting, Singrdave, because I came away from the Queen with an entirely different take (the beauty of film, right--everyone gets to have their own interpretation). Yes, the Queen was reserved and icy--but I thought that the movie provided an explanation for why that made her seem more real. She was doing what she thought her people wanted -- she was being stoic and reserved because that was the way the British had dealt with situations in th

Paying attention to someone shyly isn't either. It is pretty damned pathetic at times, though. Amen to that! (Now, get out of my head, would you?)

Reply to My Oscar Picks in Misc JoeUser Forums

I guess I will be uninterested in this year's Oscars. Quite like just about every year. I suppose that is what happens when you are uncultured like I am This was the reason I challenged myself. Because in the past I've said, "huh? What? I've never heard of that." So I went out of my way this year t

My Oscar Picks in Misc JoeUser Forums

Over Christmas, I challenged myself to see all the Golden Globe nominees for "best motion picture: drama." I picked Golden Globe because the Oscars had not been announced yet. I actually managed to do it, which was impressive, since I am normally not a big movie viewer. I had seen The De parted and Blood Diamond already. I thought Blood Diamond was br

That's crazy. Dolphin Stadium is perfect for tailgating. In fact, they created each parking space with a place to tailgate directly behind it. I was at the Orange Bowl there a couple of weeks back and the set up is brilliant. The ban seems a little crazy.

I sent you a letter, and then sent you package last Friday, I got the package today!! Thanks very much. So appropriate. I've been having a streak of, what my mother calls, "negative energy."

I'm pissed at the Canadian Postal Service. For more than a week, I've been getting mail for another building's address, and mine is nowhere to be found Glad to hear it isn't just our post office that sucks. Speaking of which, did you and Kole ever get the package I sent at Christmas?

Colleen: I'm so glad the package arrived -- and in one piece! Thank you for taking the time to update us -- and please, do let us know if there is anything we can do for you, or anything you need. I"m still thinking, praying and lighting candles for Elie.

Reply to Duke Rape Hoax May Finally Lead to Justice in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Dr. Guy--did you read my comment, because I very specifically addressed that I think he should be fired for failing to do the job he was hired for, not because of the allegations against the kids. My understanding of the situation is that he was fully aware of what was going on, this wasn't the first time that the team had an off campus party involving a stripper, and the coach was more concerned with remaining "cool" than acting like the authority figure he should have. Personally, if I had k

Reply to Duke Rape Hoax May Finally Lead to Justice in Current Events JoeUser Forums

First, my memory failed -- because the coach wasn't fired. He resigned. Just because big money sports get away with it, doesn't mean it's right. Good riddance, I say.

Reply to Duke Rape Hoax May Finally Lead to Justice in Current Events JoeUser Forums

and the coach, who must have been aware that his team was full of rapists and degenerates, was fired on the spot. While I agree that what happened to the kids was grossly unfair and that Nifong should be disbarred -- I still believe that the coach should have been fired. Not because his team was made up of rapists -- but because (from what I've
