Pan's Labyrinth

by Mystla in

has anyone here seen this movie?

if there has already been mention of it, i'm sorry, i've been afk off and on quite a bit the last month or so and have missed a lot of threads.. this is one of those hard to categorize movies.

it's a fairy tale.

I saw it. I thought it was well done and I enjoyed it a great deal.

a reminder to all parents.

by dannieboi in

i became aware yesterday that my son had an account on myspace.com (without our permission)so i got his user name and password and logged on.

the site was filled with pictures, videos, surveys and a whole lot more.

as i clicked on the related sites of my son's friends, i saw that pornographic sites have the abilility to enter kids' sites under the guise of being a friend.

Bridge to Terabithia

by Simon in

just been to the flics to see this - i think i was probably about 12 the last time i cried in public!

omg ... what a moving film!

well worth going to see but take a hanky ...

I read the book once when I was in 5th grade. I remember it to this day and was surprised when I saw how they were advertising it. They make it seem to be just another fantasy movie for younger kids, but I wouldn't take my niece. It's a great movie, but I would look into it before taking younger children to see it and be sure you are comfortable with all the material.

I still feel that book 7 should have come out on 7/7/07

I could be wrong... but isn't July 21st Harry's birthday? I would imagine that is why it was chosen.

edited to add... I just looked it up and I'm absolutely wrong. Oh, well, it seemed a nice thought ;)

A question for the men on this forum.

by restrangled in

jw

i've read so many posts from the men on this forum.

how many of you are are willing to defy the society, and defend your wives, sister, and/or daughters in the face of this religion?.

just a question not a threat.. r. .

TheSilence

Why should any man have to defend any woman against what, in my understanding, was only a comment? Words only hurt me if I let them. If someone made a *comment* to me no man in my family would stand up for me... because they know I have a mouth of my own and the intelligence and self respect to stand up for myself... or to turn around and walk away and know that if someone says something against me they aren't someone whose opinion I likely care about at all anyway.

Only under physical threat would I expect to be defended, as I would defend anyone in my family as well.

I saw it when it came through St. Louis. It was very well done, quite humorous, and wonderfully enjoyable. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

When I'm trying to explain to someone who was never a witness and doesn't understand I use the following analogy:

Remember when you were a kid and absolutely terrified of the monster in the dark... and you would be so immobilized with fright you called out for daddy to come make sure the monster wasn't there? My dad told me my monster really was.
