I think she's gorgeous too, but it feels "dulled" or something in this movie

Maybe? I haven't seen Lost in translation

Are you going to read the book, if so I won't spoil it for you, but don't read it on the plane LOL

I haven't read Twilight but people are saying it's like that? Vampires I don't think would do it for me...Badly written? Not sure but I enjoyed it

Interestingly, Fifty Shades of Grey was originally a Twilight Fan Fiction, with Bella and Edward the main characters but it was taken off the website due to it's explicit nature, later changing it to be an original piece

I normally don't get sucked into reading books just because other people do (and I'm normally a crime/thriller type reader ) but did want to see what the hype was about, even DH offered to get it for me
So I've never done a Twilight book or movie

Scarlett looks like "the girl next door" sort of pretty.

I hope my motivation picks up this week, I only have 2 weeks of work until our holidays and I really don't feel like doing any work...

2 weeks! That's SO exciting! I wouldn't feel like working either!

See, I don't think she is that pretty She's not ugly, but she's not stunning, she's just, an average looking girl I think... as you said, girl next door.

I read the twilight books in a week! I LOVED then! But oddly I had not heard about them and didn't know what the big deal was. I was filling up with petrol one night and saw the twilight book sitting on the shelf, had never heard of it. Read it that night and next morning, raced out to Target and bought the rest of the series.

I was upset when I saw the twilight movie, because the diving Edward Cullen and the stunning Bella that I had in my head from reading all of the books, was not what Robert Pattinson and even worse Kristen Stewart looked like! I didn't like the twilight movie, but got used to them as the movies went along. But neither character in the movie is a gorgeous as the characters in the book are.

So I know that I will start reading the Shades series and my life will stop whilst I am glued to the book! So I need to wait for some time, when I can stop my life, and read... read... read until the series ends

I think that we need to contact the production company that is going to do the Shades books and tell them that the girls of Dis, need to do the casting for the movies

Who are your picks then?

I'm sticking with Chris Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence or an unknown

Guy... Channing Tatum and for girl, well Jennifer would be fine, Elizabeth Olsen is a new and upcoming actress (behind her famous sisters). But an unknown would be ok too. Chris is HOT! So wouldn't be bothered if he was cast either

So I guess my picks Channing Tatum and Elizabeth Olsen

Becpee, I was just watching 60 minutes, that I recorded last night. There was a comment in the mail bag from someone with the same name. Was that you?

Do we have a celebrity on Dis?

 

[WAMUMOF4]

Ouch! That would take a good chunk out of holiday savings!

Are there any companies around you that will let you use one of those interest free cards?

Bummer! Hot water is one of those things you just can't do without either...

Andona

that's horrible......how much was a new unit? gas or electric.

we though ours died last week, thank god it was only the pilot light...i WOULD HAVE SCREAMED

1 hot water service replaced with a gas instant hot water service its probably not quite big enough for us but it works and it will get us by the next few months then we will use it for camping i am running out of excuses to not go camping All up by the time we tried to fix the other one and brought everything we needed for this one approx $550 not as bad as we first thought but still not what we expected to spend at the minute.

The flights i just booked from Perth to the Gold coast and Auckland to Melbourne for next June were certainly not on the budget at the moment but cheap flights are cheap flights right

nice

what sites do you troll to find these????

 

[BecBennett]

Just on webjet at the moment - and this specific flight won't help anyone else, but it means qantas are having a really good sale - but I can get flights from Tamworth to Sydney for $59, they're usually over $200 each way and over $500 isn't unusual.

Need to put the book down

The second in the Fifty Shades trilogy...

Are you serious - do people pay $500 each way to fly from Tamworth to Sydney - its a four hour drive!!!

For once I didn't find it on the Internet, we were eating KFC for lunch after we had got all the bits to put in the hot water service and DH was reading the paper an I spotted the add for Perth to Gold coast but when I got home and booked it sort of turned into a trip to NZ it was there or Japan but NZ was a better deal

My 2 cents on the 50 Shades of Grey

http://yourmovies.com.au/article.aspx?id=8490352

I'd be happy with either of them for the role!!!

 

[miss.potatohead]

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Spend. Money.
VAustralia have return flights to LA for $1100ish for February next year...I just moved the same amount of money into my superannuation! argh let's hope for cheap flights when the time comes that I can touch my super in many many many years, hopefully by then time travel or flightless international travel exists!
