Hope that makes sense..

There was an very interesting topic on tellie the other day here about " the falling man" very interesting to here the story and the subsequent follow up.

I had a Para Lt. friend that attended as a first responder - I'm amazed and when she finally talked about it  what her first reactions where and the jobs she was dealing with.

On a more personal note it was by shear luck that my Cus. David had to attend a meeting 4 hours before the 2nd plane hit the sth tower.  He considers himself lucky but unfortunaley lost the rest of the staff in his office

Hello Alley Cat and Devman! Love the kitty avatar; love my own kitty too. Yes the Twin Towers rehashing is too much, way too soon. So much tragic stuff is always going on and we don't need to be reminded I don't think. So fortunate Alley Cat that your cousin got out when he did. Its time for a good, clean, funny film! I used the love the Monty Python nonsense; might rent a film or two for this weekend. Its our Labor Day 3 day holiday. Hope you have a great day there! What is your average daily temp. this time of year? We are now in the '70's-low '80's F. I live east of the mountains that separate west from east Wa. state. Not near Seattle or the ocean, unfortunately, but in a small town. Well I'm off to pay some bills. Must take care of that. Devantha PS Must feed Nena Fat cat! She's a tuxedo kitty.

On another note, not sure how I feel about this, but I understand that some Brits have made a movie about President Bush being assasinated.

Yes...I've heard of this too. I think the movie is called 'Death of a President'. Apparently, its aimed to show the effects of the war on terror.

Looks to be very controversial...hence a ratings giant.

Quoted from Devman

Just to clarify, Devantha is in no way related to me

Hehehe, yeah right! Wife or girlfriend there, Devman?

Clerks II - Was freakin' brilliant... I laughed so hard I nearly vomited... I couldnt breathe.

You have to see this movie, run, dont walk.. cinema tommorow.

Cant wait for Clerks 3 - Return of the QuickStop (see the  movies, you'll get the joke)

Well to my utter amazement this movie was actually quite good, wouldn't mind watching it again in fact

I think they should have renamed this film "Samuel L Jackons: Snakes on a plane" since he's all we ever hear about about when we see a trailer. Im a fan of alot of his films but when I first saw the trailer for this film I thought to myself wtf is he doing? I might give it a go but any signs that I might be waisting my time then I'm bailing halfway through.

I can see that the screenwriter has certainly invested a lot of time into coming up with a title and script for this "film".

lol. his next project...The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain II: Snakes on a mountain

I am  going to find the time to go and see Garfield 2 this school holiday season.  I loved the first one (being a cat lover helps) and I think this new movie looks just as funny.  It's a play on Prince and the Pauper; corny probably but corn is good!

Quoted Text

Now living as the Cat of Carlyle, Garfield has a butler, Smithee (Ian Abercrombie), and an international array of servants and subjects, including Winston a (very) British bulldog; McBunny, a Scottish hare; a Punjab ferret; Bolero, a Spanish bull; I Claudius, a Shakespeare quoting mouse and Christopher, a French goose.

Aussie animated film tops US box office
Monday Nov 20 10:58 AEDT

Australian director George Miller and his troupe of fluffy tap-dancing penguins have topped the North American box office, knocking off James Bond and sending Borat back to Kazakhstan.
Miller's animated musical comedy, Happy Feet, earned an impressive $US42.3 million ($A55.13 million) at US and Canadian cinemas at the weekend to claim the number one spot.
It relegated the much-hyped debut of blond James Bond, Daniel Craig, in Casino Royale to number two and ended faux Kazakh journalist Borat's two-week reign as king of the US box office.
The coveted first place is a triumph for Miller and the Australian film industry.
Happy Feet, made for a reported $US100 million ($A130.34 million), is the first full-length animated feature film produced in Australia.
It features characters voiced by Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, the late Steve Irwin, Anthony LaPaglia, Hugo Weaving and Magda Szubanski.
US film critics loved the film and reactions from audiences at early screenings pointed to a big US opening.
"People tell me kids were dancing in the cinema and there was lots of laughter," Miller, who has been in the US the past few weeks promoting Happy Feet, told AAP.
"I've also been told there's a lot of feeling and emotion in the movie.
"That's what you are always aiming for."
The large opening and positive critical reviews will also confirm Sydney-based special effects house, Animal Logic, as a new force in the animation world.
Happy Feet is set in Antarctica and follows the story of Mumble, a tone deaf emperor penguin who can't sing like the other penguins in his colony.
Mumble's talent lies in dance, but he is considered a freak and is ostracised.
Lord of the Rings star, Elijah Wood, voices Mumble.
Miller, the 61-year-old film veteran, has a strong reputation in the US for films including Mad Max, Babe and Lorenzo's Oil.
American movie critics, tired from Hollywood's recent avalanche of mediocre animated films, were overwhelmingly positive about Happy Feet in their reviews, ensuring packed North American cinemas over the weekend.
"The many musical numbers are brilliantly choreographed and orchestrated through some of the best motion capture ever employed in a cartoon," Hollywood Reporter critic Kirk Honeycutt wrote.
USA Today's Claudia Puig wrote: "The film features some of the more endearing animated characters in recent memory".
Casino Royale finished second at the North American Box office with $US40.6 million ($A52.92 million) while Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, was third with $US14.35 million ($A18.7 million).
Happy Feet opens in Australia on Boxing Day.

I have just seen Miss Potter. this was so loverly, I enjoyed it so much, if you get the chance do see it, I did cry so do take tissues.

I'm dying to see The Queen (I know, ME dying to see a movie in theatres? lol) but hardly any of the cinemas are playing it!!!  

Instead we get crap like Epic Movie and Ghost Rider.  

I have just seen "Death at a Funeral" very very funny,  British comedy at its best, the Brits do comedy  well , worth a look
