i loved it!
but then, it went right along with my own personal beliefs concerning mankind's origins, so i'm a little biased.. wondering what a religious person's thoughts would be?.
My wife and I enjoyed it.
It's a monster movie. The attempts at adding philosophy to the film detracted from it. Several characters were unnecessary.
Still, the core of the film is Noomi Rapace's performance, with Fassbender being a close second.
It's not entirely unlike Alien or Aliens.
The YouTube video pointing out the problems is hilarious. All of these issues are minor, however, if you want to enjoy a good monster movie.
moonrise kingdom .
the cast: bruce willis, edward norton, bill murray, francis mcdormand, tilda swinton, and new comers jared gilman and kara hayward.. if you are fans of wes anderson films: the royal tenenbaums, the darjeeling limited, the life aquatic, fantastic mr. fox and all the way back to bottle rocket you will enjoy this latest from the wacky mind of wes.. http://movies.yahoo.com/moonrise-kingdom/production-details/html.
I really hope to see it soon. I'm a huge fan of "Tenenbaums".

Welcome!

the following is from the comments section of the independent article about the 22 year old jw with sickle cell anaemia who died in england last week while refusing blood.
maria makes aguest sound laconic so i don't blame you if you can't be bothered reading it all but the jw cliches and lies are all too familiar.
i'm guessing she is at the thursday meeting about now so maybe she will respond again later.. .
cofty: I must apologize. I had my facts mixed up. 'Vinny' was a JW who read the comments under the article and was exposed to thinking that ran contrary to his cherished beliefs. It helped him awaken. Read about it, here: http://newsblaze.com/story/20081209054218zzzz.nb/topstory.html
I apologize for my bad recollection. Quite embarassing.

cofty: Nice job. Your easy-to-understand statements will likely be read by many people. I recall reading a comment that 'Vinny' made beneath an article on MSNBC.com regarding the JWs helping repair homes in New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina. I was still a JW and his words affected me. (That article its comments can be found here: Jehovah's Roofing Service)
i'm on my own for a week while my wife is in utah.
i have some wild and crazy things planned but i need help with my movie selection.
last night i watched "in darknes" a very good move.
Drive (recently added to Netflix)
Battle Royale (recently added to Netflix)
i was raised as a jw and i haven't been to a meeting in about 8 years..

Jackson Metro area, here.
my dad never once looked at me...i went even though they did not come to the door when i went to tell her i was sorry about her sister...that i had heard through the grapvine her sister had died...they did not even ccall me...and they did not answer the phone when i left the message asking for the time and place of the funeral unless they did not want us to attend...and they did not call....but we all decided to go anyway and im glad we did....but it was surreal...i will share more later.
and i have a close friend nearby dfd about four years ago whose dad is dying and wont hardly ever talk to her... he does a bit but not her mom....neither does robert7s mom talk at all to him and yes it causes pain...but i think i am finally close to healing that last part of mine......oompa.
funny but just realized that the above two cases both people are recognizd as a son or daughter important enough to shun like me...but we dont get shunned like dfd and apostate sons at the funeral...just another attendee...wow.
