Mornin CT.
Big brother Live Feed huh?? That'll rot your brain. If you know what I mean. I watch BB every year up until two years ago. It has changed so much since the first one, I just lost interest. Just like "Survivor". I LOVED that show but after what 8 years?? That too has lost it's charm. The only Reality show I watch now is "Fat March". NOW they are struggling. "Crash"?? No, I don't think I have heard of that movie but I will check that out. I watch a lot of movies. Judy Dench? Love her. There is another movie you may like, Mrs "Something", let me go get the review I did, brb........... |

Nope, I was incorrect. it wasn't Mrs Something it was Vera Drake:
]
"Vera Drake" is a powerful British drama that was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Actress (Imelda Staunton), Best Director (Mike Leigh), and Best Original Screenplay (Leigh again). As far as I am concerned, the movie was one of 2004's best. In the title role, Imelda Staunton gives a performance I'll never forget. Vera Drake is a middle-aged, working-class, devoted wife and mother who earns money by cleaning the houses of the well-to-do. She's goodhearted, energetic, cheerful, and always helping others. I would say the scenes with Vera's family in their cramped living quarters are the film's strongest. There's her mechanic husband, her tailor son, her shy daughter, and the daughter's suitor. The ensemble acting and dialogue are terrific. "Vera Drake" is set in London in 1950, and one of the things I like most about the movie is its sense of time and place. The country hasn't fully recovered from World War II, and some commodities are still hard to get. But the Drake family has backbone, and when I think about Britain standing up to the Nazis, it's folks like them who come to mind. The film's story centers around something Vera does that she keeps secret from her family. In her zeal to help others, she regularly performs a procedure on women that terminates unwanted pregnancies. Vera receives no money for this, and there is no doubt that her intentions are good. But what she is doing is illegal, and she is putting the women in danger because she has no connection whatsoever with any medical professionals. However, all of the women Vera tries to help by inducing miscarriages are from the lower classes. The movie contrasts their situation sharply with that of a woman who lives in one of the upscale houses where Vera works as a cleaning lady. When that woman becomes pregnant, she goes to carefully chosen doctors and pays a considerable sum of money, enabling her to check into what appears to be a private clinic and get a safe, legal abortion. |

OMG, I didn't know you replied. I was picturing you at work and too busy to write. I wonder if I didn't get a notice because this was moved.
BB was explosive this season... they have a father and daughter who were estranged. And he's been a favorite of a lot of people... but he's a bit abusive. You should check it out... except it's calmed way down since they got rid of Jen who apparently was/is a nanny for Vanna White... They just hated her. She was a little over the top, from my perspective... but the way Evel **** treated her was... not appropriate, I didn't think. The father is Evel ****. Crash is really good. It was mentioned at the Academy Awards. Sandra Bullock is in it, but it's not a sweet movie. I liked it a lot more than i expected to. Well, I'm glad I found this.

I'm confused. You didn't watch Mrs. Brown?
I never heard of the Vera Drake one. I watched one the other night called Mrs. (darn I forget the name) at the Claridge. It said it was written by Elizabeth Taylor. It was quite charming. It was a movie you can watch right away... on your computer. I sure hope I can sleep tonight. I have a lot I should do tomorrow. Whew!

Hi Cloudz,
Thank you for the links. I'm not sure I understand the Douglas one. That's really nice of you to find that information for me. I posted that bit from my Brief on eBay and got cut to shreads. Mostly people there just attack, not all, but some. But, it did show me that it was hard to read so I rewrote it... I'll put it here the way it actually appears, except I'll put what the lawyer said in bold... so you can see where I'm quoting. Quote:

I was thinking when I posted that I had the right forum... and then when the thread became friendly I thought it was similar to "Face Off" which never got moved... Is it because I'm sooooo tired that I'm confused... probably. .
