I am left handed but by the time I hit school in the 60's they had given up on forcing kids to make that switch. Did you grow out of it or took therapy?

I too was changed from left to right handed, but I retain some odd left handed quirks, like dealing cards (!), and incidentally I am left footed, too. I gradually trained myself out of the stammer, but it took many, many years, and I am still not entirely free of it. The one time I was completely free of it was during an acid trip when I was 20. It was an extraordinary, though all too short-lived, feeling of peace. Not exactly on the same level as addressing a nation, but I do remember vividly the crucifying agony of having to say grace before my entire school one lunchtime. I was nicknamed "Bertie" at school, strangely, by everybody, from the headmaster down...

An ironic coincidence to the movie or more likely someone was up on their English history and was lacking in kindness, I presume.

There was nothing coincidental about it. It was hardly history back then in 1961.

I heard that was intense. Does "whoa" mean worthwile?

The Town- I'm puzzled why this movie got a high rating at IMBD. It just did not click for me. I had no sympathy with Ben Aflecks character. Jeremy Remmer who played a wild man in The Hurt Locker is once again playing a wild man but in case a decidedly meaner one in this movie. Hopefully he does not get type cast.

Startrek (2009)- The best dagone Startrek movie ever made. Puts the rest to shame.

kellen · Jan 29, 2011, 08:04 PM

With all the snow here just been watching movies as the office is closed.

Survival of the Damned

Buried

The American

Devil

Takers

Wall Street

Saw 3D - watching now, reason I am on Macrumors to avoid watching the set ups. The violence is just too much, so I need a distraction.

Huntn · Jan 29, 2011, 10:47 PM

Starship Troopers (1997)- Despite being corny or campy (your choice), this movie has the best bug effects and outstanding CGI integration with the environment. The scene with what looks like thousands of bugs is incredible.

kellen · Jan 30, 2011, 03:33 PM

Rambo, watched first blood and first blood part II.

The first Rambo was very entertaining.

In contrast just watched Envy (2004), a real stinker with Ben Stiller and Jack Black.

I know this comment will be criticized, but...
I have seen the first two 'Girl with/who' Swedish movies and they lack Hollywood polish. I've read all 3 books which were ok and am looking forward to the Danial Craig movie due in Dec11.

i found the pace refreshing. it was more story-focused with less extraneous stuff going on which was nice. what daniel craig movie is that?

ender land · Feb 2, 2011, 10:00 PM

Les Miserables (2006).

you gotta be kidding. why..? what was wrong with the original? craig is pretty much a clone of nyquist as far as i can tell w/ mannerisms and stuff i dont see the point. i doubt they can capture the scandinavian death rocker look the original chick had either. definitely not a case where i want to see some watered-down american version

lynnequintana · Feb 4, 2011, 12:16 AM

I recently watched: Black Swan, The Social Network, & Inception

The original was not in English? Chance to make more money? More polished, big budget, movie? Watered down? That remains to be seen.
