    Disney's Smoking Ban Expands (Movies)

    I caught this on Good Morning America this morning and I think that this issue and the expectation of other companies to follow suit is going to cause alot of issues. I'm all for leaving smoking out of the children's films Disney makes from now on. However, I am going to be very upset if...

    Harry Potter Book 7 *SPOILERS*

    I just finished the book and I have to say, I loved it! I think the thing I was most happy about was the information we gained about Dumbledore and the way it all finally clicked with Harry. It was fascinating to discover his past and the Hallows and why and what he had planned for Harry all...

    Who has seen the new Harry Potter movie? Here is a thread to discuss! (SPOILERS)

    I haven't had time to catch up on all that's being said here in the thread, but I did love the movie. I thought it was easily the best of the five and I'm psyched that Yates has control of Half-Blood Prince. I did want to pop in and say though that Good Morning America reported this morning...

    Saw harry potter at midnight - TERRIFIC!!!! (no spoilers)

    I saw the movie at midnight as well and it was completely worth it! It was easily the best of the five and adapted the book excellently, given its length and content. I'm very glad now, given that the same director is returning to do Half Blood Prince. We got there at 9:30 and there were...

    Summer Reading Assignments for school?

    The high school I went to required 3 books every summer and then we had to take tests when we went back to school. However, as a junior and senior if you were taking Advanced/AP English, you could choose your books, as long as they were (arguably) classics. They did that as a type of personal...

    Speaking of movies...

    I recommend Casablanca highly. :) It is, IMO, the most perfect movie ever made and even if it weren't so highly regarded by the film community, I would still love and recommend it! It's got a little bit of everything: romance, war, betrayal. It's got Bogart and Bergman and Wilson singing "As...

    Top 100 U.S. Movies, how many have you seen?

    I've seen 62 of them. :) Some of the others are so familiar to me, I feel like I've seen alot more. And for what it's worth, anyone who has not seen Double Indemnity or Swing Time, do so ASAP! Double Indemnity is one of the best film noirs ever created and you just cannot go wrong with...

    AFI's list of the 100 Best Movies . . .

    As much as I love Marty Scorcese, Raging Bull should not have displaced Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Vertigo, and Lawrence of Arabia. Other than that, I'm just happy to see Astaire & Rogers finally on the list (though they should have been much higher, given how much they did for the...

    Speaking of movies...

    I just have to say, good for you for getting your daughter interested in all these old movies. :) I'm 20 years old and I grew up watching them with my father and grandmothers and love them all to death now. Actually, when I was 6 years old, my idol was Katherine Hepburn. I refused to wear...

    cruise ideas?

    Well, I personally agree with those who have said they wouldn't offer up Carnival as one of their choices. We've done alot of cruises and would never do another Carnival one, despite how cheap they can sometimes be. However, no one has recommended Norwegian Cruise Lines and I just HAVE to...

    Do your preschoolers watch any "tween" shows?

    I honestly don't think any of you are alone, letting your kids watch these shows. I work in The Disney Store at our local mall and we just got a whole batch of Hannah Montana t-shirts in girls sizes 5-12. Several moms have asked me if we can get them in toddler sizes as well! And every kid...

    Gilmore Girls (Spoilers if you haven't seen newest season...)

    I adore the Gilmore Girls! These last few episodes have been fantastic and I really feel like I'm watching the Girls of old, the ones straight out of Amy Sherman-Palladino's vision. I think the season will have an excellent finish. As far as one more season, it's still up in the air. The CW...

    Help in choosing math class for son's Junior year in H.S.

    As a current college sophomore I have only this to say: No offense, but if your son doesn't take Pre-Calc in high school, he's nuts! Colleges require a math/quantification subrequirement; my college in particular requires intro to calculus and I'm a liberal arts major! Thank god I'm not too bad...

    Dog Rescues - If You've Used Them - What Did You Think?

    Actually, we just got a golden retriever from a rescue yesterday. :) I do have to say though, they are very cautious when choosing a family to adopt a dog. We had to fill out alot of paperwork about our house and family and past pets, etc. and then they do a home inspection and interview as well...

    Do you have books...

    I will recommend The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath to anyone who is looking for a great read. I think everyone can relate to the sentiments expressed in the book at one time or another (and I don't mean wanting to commit suicide, I just mean the feeling of being put under this bell jar, under...

    What are you doing today?

    Well, I spent all morning playing Wii with my sister. Now I have to do all the accounting homework I spent my entire spring break avoiding and then I need to get down on the treadmill. After that, I'll probably read some and then spend a lazy afternoon with my boyfriend. :)
