I blew away the competition so bad that other parents complained that I had to be cheating. We're talking about a weekly prize of a Personal Pan Pizza at Pizza Hut.
So I had to write 1 page book report for every book I read. My 5th grade teacher was awesome about it, she told me loved handing disgruntled parents my book reports. "I can see how you'd think Filthy wasn't really reading that many pages. Here's his book report on "The Grapes of Wrath"/"Prince of Central Park"/"Lord of the Flies". Most teachers hated me in elementary school, but Mrs. Dodds was incredible.
Brothers from another?
Wow time flies.
There I was top of the class in 3rd grade, of course a private school.
Just starting beginning algebra in mathematics, studying topography of America from Carlsbad caverns to the Ozarks. In Language Arts structuring sentences; prepositional phrases/coordinating conjunctions.
Science experiments included charting a voyage through the Straits of Magellan with nothing more than seasonal awareness, telescope, inscribing compass and ruler.
But reading was where the real fun was.
During Spring Break whoever read the biggest book w/biggest report won "bonus bucks", where we could score Skittles/Mars bars etc., this while balancing the mandatory 12-page essay on an assigned composer w/bibliography(I landed Joseph Haydn).
Well who've thought the local library was filled with devotee's of Russian literature.
And there began my adventures into Tolstoy, as War and Peace and the 32-page report that followed became my obsession to win the attention of the class debutante.
That was a Spring break to remember.
Let me guess, you got cheated on?
I have cheated in every relationship but my last, she cheated on me.

I keep wanting to watch but haven't been able to stomach it yet. I'm flipping through options and see it and check it out something else. I'm going to watch it next week because of this thread.

No mostly had a run ins lately with guys who try to cheat on their wives and girlfriends.
And truly they are trying to redeem themselves of something they feel married life is taking from them. One of them married because the girl got pregnant and he justifies his cheating by feeling he was overly generous by staying with her for the baby. So it wasn't just me being wise on you all by saying so but men really do seek validation and redemption through smaller things like infidelity over chasing passed dreams. Women too but sexual conquest is more of a male ego thing.
never seen it. solid cast tho! olivia was one of my childhood crushes. and anna is one of mu current crushes
dude on left from office space right? and number 3 was likeable on "new girl"
I don't believe it's very well known. Surprising given, like you mentioned, the cast.
On the left was indeed in office space. I haven't seen new girl so I can't confirm the other guy.
Olivia gets naked
Came here to put this, but you wrote it better.We got the music thread. What about movies?
What tugs at your heart strings?
For me it's the grey with Liam Neeson. I told my friend this and he just laughed at me thinking I was joking. Most people think this is just a movie about wolves and Liam Neeson kicking ass. This is one of my favorite and underrated movies.
Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson were the right type of Hollywood couple. No drama, no short Las Vegas marriages, just good parents raising kids.
And then it ended.
Abruptly with a simple slip on a ski trip, Natasha died and Liam Neeson lost his wife of 15 years. She slipped and bumped her head. She got up and said she was okay, didn't want to mess up everyone's fun. And then 15 minutes later she went unconscious forever.
The grey isn't about fighting wolves. It's about the existential crisis of a man who is lonely and fighting depression and lost his reason for living. It's about Liam Neeson coming to terms with his wife's death.
The letter in the movie is written by Liam Neeson to Natasha.

That movie captures the depression and heartache of a man better than almost any movie I've ever seen.
"Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day..."
Little known fact: the haunting score during that scene is actually a re-tooling of the main theme from Sunshine.
Ebert said of the film:
"It was the first time I've ever walked out of a film because of the previous film. The way I was feeling in my gut, it just wouldn't have been fair to the next film... There's time for some conversation among the men, and this film, directed by Joe Carnahan and written by him and Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, treats them as individuals. They're not simply a group of victims. The Grey advances with pitiless logic. There are more wolves than men. The men have weapons, the wolves have patience, the weather is punishing. I sat regarding the screen with mounting dread. The movie had to have a happy ending, didn't it? If not "happy," then at least a relief in some sense? Sit through the entire credits. There's one more shot still to come. Not that you wouldn't be content without it."
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. I walked out.
I actually started watching this movie with my two sons last night. It's 3 hours long so we cut it off an hour and 11 minutes in and picked it up today. We just got past the part where John Coffey helps the warden's wife but we had to pause it to go to mma practice.(It's my off day but they have kickboxing/jiu jitsu today)
I also showed them Forrest Gump which has Tom Hanks and Lt Dan who are also in Green Mile.
Along the lines of Tom Hanks movies that are sad, about a month ago we watched Turner and Hooch. That movie is so sad in the end.
