Eh, no biggie. I just happen to like a lot of his movies (NOT HIM PERSONALLY), and I thought it was interesting that his son was getting into the business like his old man.TillyGalore wrote:I refuse to read the Tom Cruise thread, only because, it's about him. No offense, bjornolf.
Oh noes! As one "bad back sufferer" to another, I hope you're able to recover quickly! Aren't muscle relaxants great?TillyGalore wrote:I'm back at work today after missing it yesterday due to my back. Turns out, my back does not take kindly to major housekeeping. I steamed the hardwood floors in the living room Sunday and scrubbed some spots off the floor, more or less paint spots. Then I polished the floor. While my living room looks fabulous, my back is not happy. Took several muscle relaxers yesterday and slept on the couch in said beautiful living room. I also scrubbed the kitchen floor clean.
Still have some pain, but not as bad as yesterday. Here's to hoping I can make it the whole day today.
Yay for local retailers!ArkieDukie wrote:I bought a new camera last night (a Nikon D90). After looking at several online places, I bought it at a local camera store.

I'm really getting the camera to get back into the game of taking pictures for fun, so the class and the opportunity to have a local source of expert information/advice swung the balance intheir favor.
Enjoy the new camera!How do you really feel about him? And if you hate his works so much, why are you so knowledgeable about how much they suck? ;)wilson wrote:And he's a no-talent hack who should be burned on a pyre of his own books.CellR wrote:

Both sound like winners. Best of luck with both.Miles wrote:Kelly is in the process of purchasing a new television. She and I were talking about the first movie we should watch to christen the tv.

I'm assuming that means that Return of the Jedi is on tomorrow, which makes me happy (since I can't get the Braves game here).
I'm right there with you. That was so gut wrenching that I couldn't pick up another one of his books, and that was over 11 years ago.DevilAlumna wrote:I read The Notebook, and that was enough.
Oh, although the plot was okay, I found the prose simplistic and not enjoyable to read; it wasn't much more than a movie screenplay to begin with. Why waste 5-7 hours of reading time, when you can get the same experience, plus a sound track, by watching the 2 hour film?TillyGalore wrote:I'm right there with you.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I missed the part from roughly the departure from Mos Eisley to the escape from the Death Star.Turk wrote: Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Movie.
"You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never watch space movies with a female when romance is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha... <clunk>"
Princess Bride is one of my all time favorite movies, and by far Cary Elwes' and Mandy Patinkin's best roles. Not to mention Andre the Giant. And Chris Sarandon. And Wallace Shawn. And Robin Wright Penn. And Fred Savage. And Christopher Guest.Turk wrote:Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Movie.

I bought it at Creve Coeur Camera. Turns out they have a class on the Nikon D90 this Saturday morning. Hopefully there will be a slot available.Lavabe wrote:Which local shop?

Buying local makes a LOT of sense.
Wow, Tilly; you've been busy! Hope the back is feeling better. I've never heard of steaming a hardwood floor, but it sounds like hard work.TillyGalore wrote:I'm back at work today after missing it yesterday due to my back.
