Atonement

#1 Post by Spock » Sun Apr 06, 2008 6:18 pm

We watched this movie and really liked it.

After my rif on how I do not like to watch commentray the other day-I immediately broke it by watching commentary for this movie-because I wanted to.

Comment on Kiera Knightly.

I know she is a good actress and all, but I do not know how she gets all these roles as she is simply not attractive.

I enjoyed the movie, but I think that the book was better.

Yeah, It has crossed my mind to read the book now. I blew through the Historian in about 4-5 days.

BTW-I was teasing about Keira-she is absolutely beautiful.

Whew! I thought I was going to have to call your local mental health authorities.

I am impressed. I couldn't finish the book.

Here I thought Spock was going to tell us that he's really a Democrat, and that he voted for Jimmy Carter.

No, Mr. K, it was tmitsss that voted for Jimmy Carter, twice
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

My first vote for president was in 1988 and I voted for George H.W. Bush.

I voted for Bush in the General in '88, but I voted in the Democratic Primary. I voted for the only pro-family, pro-gun, pro-life Democratic candidate there.

Any guesses who got my Primary vote?

No. The year that I was eligible to vote, there was no presidential election.

Jeff and I went to two H.S. reunions. I enjoyed them as much as I thought that I would, which is not at all.

I go back to my old high school three days of week for Maddie's Quiz Bowl practice. This activity should be it's own circle of hell.
