Woah…

I think my user rating just went up.

Did they actually fix it?

Michelle was just too hot for words on that poster.

We get cases like this from time to time. It sounds like auto erotic asphyxia to me. An early report said that the ligature was around the neck and the genitals. Also that he was found sitting down. If true, its interesting that in a city where he would have any choice of sexual debauchery imaginable that he would risk dying in this manner.

I read that Tiller attended the same church as the BTK serial killer. Nice place. Very accepting.

TBB is a good film, but nothing can top Michelle in "Ladyhawke". I was so impressed I registered my German Shepherd as "Ladyhawke Raven of Cloncurry".

Can't agree. I liked her best in Batman II, but she was excellent in The Story Of Us as well.

I’m not sure what I was expecting with The Fabulous Baker Boys: a romantic musical, or a romantic triangle. What I found is a moody story of three losers who come together for a while and then drift apart. It’s all faintly depressing, done in a key of noir that under other circumstances (or in another story) I would enjoy.

agreed. Beau Bridges did Oscar quality work there; rich, rewarding, and realistic… the triangle was done well, too- although having just seen it recently (in lovely HD, too) Beau's performance actually is the best part of the film and his character is by far the most three dimensional.

The ending with Michelle and Jeff at the bus stop has a nice note of melancholy…

when you believe in nothing than you must believe in something, right? What did Dylan say? "You've got to serve somebody- it may be the Devil, it may be the Lord, but you got to serve somebody"… so, they have fallen on paganism- Gaia worship- as their religion.

And religion it is…

You'all would be shocked to see the debris trail CNN World leaves on the airwaves of Europe and beyond. Propaganda at it's finest. Virtually every ill the world suffers is a result of "global warming". The focus also seems to be on the plight of Africa, and make no mistake, there is a plight there. The problem is not "global warming" it's bad despotic leadership, a fact they NEVER mention. CNN World's fix for Africa is help from the first world and ofcouse reduction of green house gases. They run "green" solution crap constantly. Unfortunately after a day at a world class museum or ancirnt Roman site CNN is the only English language news. Italian T.V. sucks, it's like Mexico's but worse.
