Tonise~ Of course I'm all for reducing costs so I give a big thumbs up for the time-share idea. However I agree with Susie and would like to make sure there is no fine print or other catches to this deal before we cancel the reservation at the other hotel.
HHCon question from Ginnie~ She was wondering about what days everyone was planning on arriving and leaving. She's just looking for a general consensus of what everyone else is doing so she can decide what she wants to do.
Marielle~ The US seems to be pretty much the polar opposite from Europe in terms of violence and sex in movies. You can blow people's heads off, and as long as there isn't too much blood you can still get a PG-13, but include a love scene that the MPAA deems "too explicit" and you'll get slapped with an R-rating (or worse an NC-17). And what's considered "too explicit" seems to be highly subjective and inconsistent, so two similar love scenes could end up with different ratings. Language is touchy too. You can generally use the f-word once and still get a PG-13, but two or more triggers an R (Remember Me was pushing the PG-13 boundary with two f-bombs). The King's Speech was rated R for a single scene in which profanity is used as a theraputic device and the f-word is said a handful of times. If that one scene had been taken out, the movie probably could've actually gotten a PG.
There may have been many people who missed seeing an excellent film because of its rating. Songbird~ I'm sorry you're having trouble finding Remember Me. Is it not available somewhere like Amazon? I hope you're able to find it. It truly is a moving film. I guess we'll have to be like Edward and just say, "Alice's visions are subjective".
Psychic ability by its very nature is not really quantifiable and can make setting clearly defined rules for how it works problematic. We do know that Alice's power is not foolproof and can be manipulated, so perhaps Bella managed (as I think Caryn suggested) to find a loophole and keep her from seeing the escape from the airport.Caryn~ Sorry about your laryngitis. That must be so frustrating for you. How can you vociferously defend Twilight to its detractors if you can't talk?
I haven't seen How to Be before, and I plan on watching it this weekend. I hope I enjoy it, but I don't usually understand British humor so we'll see. Susie~ I'm glad you're feeling better about your knee and hope you keep improving.
Lynne~ So jealous that you actually have a release date for Bel Ami even if it is a ways off!
Tracy~ It was a little strange seeing Daniel Radcliffe in something so different, but he's not wearing the glasses so I wasn't seeing Harry while I was watching. He's become quite a handsome young man. I thought his performance was fine, although like I told Marielle it really wasn't my kind of movie so I don't know how much weight my opinion would carry. I think you'll really like Bill Condon's commentary. In addition to the comments about the actors, he also talks a lot about Carter Burwell's score, which as you know thrills me to no end.
A belated Hump Day gift
) and finally get an appointment with her now that I've got all my test scores back.
