We usually don't go this often but this weekend we saw three new ones. The one we saw today had me laughing through most of it and then in tears at the end. Good movie, The Bucket List. Older group we noticed in the audience too and everyone was LOL through the movie, then at the end it got really quiet. I was crying my eyes out and everyone else probably was too.

We saw National Treasure yesterday and then I am Legend. Both were ok movies. Second one I can't decide if I really liked it or not.

What movies have you seen? Lauren wants to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. I don't really know what else is playing. Didn't really see any previews of ones coming out that made me want to see them. I can't even remember any of them.

We just got back from The Bucket List. I liked it more than I thought I would. Good movie! We saw National Treasure Christmas Eve and liked that as well. I won't go see Legend due to a part of the movie that my DD said made her cry through the rest of it (I'm sure you know the part I'm talking about).

Juno is supposed to be very good. Got great reviews. 27 Dresses looks fun too.

I saw a preview today for something that looked really good - can't remember what the heck it was now or even who was in it.

Want to see Vantage Point soooo badly. That me saying this. The one who waits for everything to come out on DVD LOL. I can't wait to see all the ones you mentioned, and Vantage Point seems most intriguing - Forest Whitaker, Sigourney Weaver, William Hurt, Dennis Quaid......

What's the most expensive houseplant you've ever seen ?
Q

I'll chime in about the most expensive plant I saw. It's a good story, well, for me it is. Anyways, I have been into plants now for about 14 years, and have always loved tree-like succulents, such as jades and portulacarias. I don't have a big collection at all, but I cherish the ones I have. Ever since seeing a picture of a variegated jade, I knew I HAD to have one. Problem is, I saw this picture in 1999, and have never seen one of these jades in person, let alone for sale. Well, last summer, while browsing around in a large greenhouse that I've been to dozens of times, I decided to go past the tropicals and succulents, and browse around in the annual flower section, which I have no interest in. Upon walking WAY to the back of this large annual section, there in the bowels of the greenhouse sits a variegated jade. I was super exited, however, this jade was 7 feet tall, with a 12" diameter trunk, and had a price tag of $799.99. Obviously, this is too expensive, and also too big for my tastes. But, I asked if I could take a leaf to root my own plant, and the guy said "sure, but you would be better off with a stem cutting", and broke a small chunk off for me. Well, I rooted the cutting successfully, not that jades are a challenge, and this spring repotted it now that it has a vigorous root system. So, after all that babbling, I can sum it up like this: Not only did I find the most expensive plant I've ever seen, I got my variegated jade, and it only took 12 years! Joe

If you've seen the inside of a Bosch Integra Fridge...

That looks very much the same as the Thermador. I suspect the shelves and interior pieces may be plain or trimmed in white plastic instead of stainless, but maybe not. The sides of the door shelves are solid white instead of the dark plastic frame around glass. And it looks like the butter keeper above may have one door where mine has 2 -- but this is a 24" and I have the 30", so that could be the difference also. As for the Freedom shelf, I don't really use it and don't care about it. Kind of like buying a car, it's one of those things that came with the package. You wouldn't be losing anything by not getting that in my book.

Ditto to Star Wars, all those Freddy-type horror movies (except for Psycho). It was a very, very long time until I saw Citizen Kane. And until this past year, I held out on watching Schindler's List because I always expected it to be too overwhelming for me. Have never seen E.T., Gone With the Wind (nor read the book, tho I know I "should"!); I've watched only the first Godfather but don't quiz me on it. Skyfall was the first Bond movie I'd ever seen. Back to the Future or The Big Lebowski? They've become "cult" films, but nope. And no Monty Python films (I do have 2 on my Netflix playlist, tho). No Forrest Gump, Raiders of the Lost Ark, either. And it's not like I never watch movies on TV or in the theater! Sometimes I get hooked on a specific actor or actress and am determined to watch everything else they were in, so maybe that's distracted me from the most popular stuff. And I fear that "Life of Pi" might join that list: I really, really want to see it in 3D, but I'm in full-blown cold mode, so being in the theater this week isn't a good idea. And I'm sure that it's marking its final days on-screen...

What is the oddest thing you've seen at a wedding?
Q
Comments (76)
I was invited to the wedding of friend's sister, along with another friend of ours. The bride was a pretty obnoxious, spoiled brat but we were very good friends with her brother and kind of felt sorry for her because she didn't really have any friends and wanted the biggest wedding she could have. The ceremony itself was fine but when we got to the reception, the MOB set my friend and me to work bartending. We were horribly embarassed (and had no idea how to bartend) but we muddled through it. What made it even more embarassing was when the MOB insisted on paying us at the end of the night. I have no idea where she got the idea that we were there to tend bar but suspect the bride had something to do with it. As an example of how the bride's brain worked (or not) we visited her home a while later. I was helping her with something in the kitchen and noticed a bunch of tiny labels sticking off of a windowsill. When I asked her what they were doing there, she said that her parents had given her some Waterford glassware they had gotten on a trip to Ireland. When she served guests she wanted everyone to know they were Waterford so she would leave the labels on the glasses, then take them off before washing them and then put them back on.

Paper clips is a movie? What's it about? I've never heard of it. Also never heard of P.S. I Love You, Juno, or 27 Dresses.

Vantage Point was one of the previews we saw, looks good.

I still had two Netflix movies to watch, one I got back in early November! I finally watched the both last night, Just Like Heaven which was ok, would have been better if it didn't skip all over the place. And The Pursuit of Happiness, which was pretty good.

I saw Juno, and I LOVED it! It was one of the best movies I've seen in a long, long time. It does deal with teenage pregnancy and has some bad language, so you might want to see the rating before taking kids of certain ages. But I highly recommend the movie and I would even pay $10.50 to see it again!

Paper Clips:

Whitwell Middle School in rural Tennessee is the setting for this documentary about an extraordinary experiment in Holocaust education. Struggling to grasp the concept of 6 million Holocaust victims, the students decide to collect 6 million paper clips to better understand the enormity of the calamity. The film details how the students met Holocaust survivors from around the world and how the experience transformed them and their community.
