    Dancing With The Stars

    I was wondering last night if there was such a website for this show as well. But then I swear I overheard the female host say that callers are only allowed to vote nine times. If that's true, then there would be no 'flood' vote effect such as there is on AI.

    Books they have tried to ban

    I remember the controversy surrounding Silverstein. While most of his work is very innocent and great, some of his works do tend to have a darker side that some may feel is too over-the-edge for children. "Someone Ate the Baby", for instance, is probably a little too darkly humurous for kids...

    Dancing With The Stars

    Okay, now it's officially a joke. Jerry Springer better than Harry Hamlin?? Surely they jest. Now I don't think that Harry was that great, he deserved to be in the bottom two. But Jerry is still there? Perhaps he is still on the show because it's a so-bad-it's-good thing? Or maybe he just has...

    Books they have tried to ban

    I remember the Judy Blume outcry. A lot of parents wanted her books banned from school libraries because she talked about the reality of puberty and growing up, and she was probably the first author to do so.

    what was the last movie you watched?

    I only have seen the Sixth Sense and The Insider. I think SS was as good as American Beauty.

    what was the last movie you watched?

    I loved 'LIT' too, but I can see where some didn't. The slow pace probably turned off a lot of people, although I thought it wasn't a boring pace because there was depth in it. 'Brokeback Mountain' is a film where I don't understand the critical acclaim and the whining about how it should of...

    what was the last movie you watched?

    Hmm....can't remember what other movies it was up against. I liked American Beauty a lot and thought it was a very well-made and creative film. But I'd have to remember what other movies were nominated that year before I can say it deserved it's award.

    what was the last movie you watched?

    I absolutely loved 'Crash' and was so happy to see it win Best Picture. It was the first time in years that I felt that the academy had finally gotten it right.

    what was the last movie you watched?

    Amen to some of that, celt. If only more people would realize that the Oscars are not truly a yardstick, then we would hear less, "waaahhhh!" when a certain picture doesn't win the top prize. I think the only thing I don't like about the Oscars is that sometimes the big-budget films have a...

    What are you eating right now?

    Yeah, water dogs-gross! Do any NYC street vendors cook their hot dogs any other way now? I'm disappointed that I can't enjoy a good hot dog on the street anymore when I visit my mom there.

    what was the last movie you watched?

    Agree w/you. I thought that Forrest Gump was an excellently made film that deserved the Oscar. Perhaps people dump on it so much because of the sentimentality and feel-good vibe throughout, although I didn't think that it came across as bombastic or corny.

    what was the last movie you watched?

    Wow-you lucky girl! So, are seat-fillers allowed to talk to the celebrities? Do the celebrities ever talk to them? Or do you just have to walk over, sit down, and shut up until George Clooney or whomever gets back?

    what was the last movie you watched?

    I LOVE the Oscars. I look forward to watching it every year. However, I do agree that sometimes the wrong picture or wrong actor ends up winning. Yet sometimes I do agree with a win when everyone else is decrying it.

    Would losing the Kings really affect quality of life?

    Unfortunately, a lot of people I know have that mindset. They seem to think that the Maloofs are a bunch of extremely greedy money-grubbers out to bully everyone and take over the world and that they have more money than they know what to do with. They just won't see beyond that or try to...

    what was the last movie you watched?

    Shopgirl. A good little movie, a lot different than what I thought it was going to be. The pacing reminded me of Lost in Translation. Very clever, solid dialogue.

    Troubled arena campaign gets $2 million donation

    Exactly. That is what I hear day in and day out from people I know who oppose Q&R. "let them pay for it, they're so rich".

    somebody make it stop!

    Isn't this just dragging up everything that's already been said on here about Bonds? As U2 says in 'Bloody Sunday', "how long, how long can we sing this song?" Talk about it all you want if you need to, just giving my two cents and singing some U2....
