Yer a kid.
I don't know but you made me laugh! Horrible Bosses! I thought it was mildly funny.. hubby fell asleep.
Have you seen "Knocked Up"? You might like that!
No I haven't.Yeah, you've said that before....
I did like that one. And bachelor party.
The original Rocky was great.I used to think ROCKY, but, now I like it....
... but tell us how you REALLY feel!A Streetcar Named Desire. Oh sure, Brando's great, but that story...ugh...but I think I have this problem with all of Tennesee Williams' stuff. People sweatin, drinkin, whinin about stupid crap--and nobody talks like his female characters do, all that blathering on and on about who knows what. Nobody just comes right out and says what's wrong, they just dance around each other, spouting over-written pretentious garbage. Like Cat on a Tin Roof--man, I just wanna walk into that movie, grab Liz Taylor (splendid in that white nightgown, grr), and say, "here, let me save you two and a half pointless hours of drivel--yer husband is GAY, lady. Open yer eyes."

I find Gone With the Wind loooooong and boooooring. And the more I see it (my husband likes it so I have "seen" it many times) Vivien Leigh just gets on my nerves. I thought at one time she actually did a good job but the more I see of her in the role of Scarlet, the more I see she is just a ham and overacting. Olivia de Havilland as Melanie is MUCH MUCH better.Top three, I doubt any three always stay there.
Gone With the Wind would definitely be there. But I like almost all genres.
But the ones other people feel are iconic....I just don't get it.
I find Tennessee Williams' prose to be some of the most heart wrenching and poetic ever written. Different strokes...I hear ya. I know Tennesee Williams is one of the Great American Playwrights, but I'm left cold.

I could never understand why she like Ashley over Rhett anyway... HUH? Wayyyy too much drama for me!
I think Rhett liked her cause she was a challenge, but, it got old and he left.
As far as human beings being messed up, it was right on target.
