Someone reading this just realized that the award they "won," which they were so proud of was bogus.

That makes me kind of sad.

Biopics are almost impossible to do well. Life doesn't happen in a three act structure, so modern narrative filmmaking isn't really suited to biography.

The exception that proves the rule is the Queen which tells the story of only a single incident in a persons life.

Biggest Mary Sue in history.

Sorry, but it had to be said.

Unless you are actually starving, about to be evicted, or are going to go without heat in the wintertime, never cheap out on a mattress. If you are broke, buy a twin mattress with no foundation.

Your back will thank you in ten years.

I cannot believe it took three pages for anyone to mention it.

Amazing film.

By ordering five girls strip searched when only one maight have stolen the money, the administrator was knowingly strip searching four innocent girls.

I am so with you on that. I am constantly astounded when I'm driving in the hills/foothills/malibu and see someone do that.

The LA County Sherrif's Dept needs to seriously step up attempts to patrol/enforce the ban on throwing cigarettes from cars.

They were called that because they lived in the San Fernando Valley, which is . . .an actual valley! This means that it sits between two ridges of hills! Hills spread fire quickly because flames shoot upward! And less people live there! So there is a lot more wilderness!

In all seriousness, most of what is on fire is not the over developed parts of LA County, most of that is in the flat parts that are the Valley and the LA Basin. What most of you seem to not understand is there are huge swathes of actual nature surrounding the LA area, and most of what is burning is that nature. Yes there are people living there, and this is a huge tradgedy for them, but there presence is not what is causing the fire.

I'm seriously getting tired of the "Blame the Angelenos" approach to fire comments.

An empty house is stressfull for a kid?

Are you serious? I still remember the first week my Mom re entered the work force. I loved it. It was the most relaxing time of my life. A few hours, from about 4 to 6 or 7pm where I was alone. I could run over to a friends house if I wanted company, but probaby 3 out of the 5 days of the week I liked to use that time to just relax.

And you do realize school gets out at around 3pm? I'm really not sure having a full sit down dinner as soon as kids get home from school is a good idea.

How hard is this concept? Depression does not equal sadness. Just like AIDS isn't a gay disease, you can get pregnant on your first time and Alchoholics can't have "just one." I really thougth everyone understood this by now, but everytime there is an article about anti-depressants people seem to come out of the woodwork talking about how it is natural to be sad a lot of the time. The statement may be true, but it is completely irrelevant,

If you think depression is just sadness, or you simply do not understand what it is, go pick up a copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabahn and read the pages where the effect of the Dementors is described. That is one of the best descriptions of depression available.

Half the people you meet will stare at you and wonder how on earth you could ever justify spending such exhorbidant amount of money.

The other half will look at you and wonder why in the world you wear something so cheap.

People need to cut out the jugement either way. If you have the money and want filet and top shelf for your guests, do it.

If all you can afford is beer and sandwhiches, then go with that.

Great Article, as some one who is currently engaged and planning a wedding on a budget not too much larger than yours I really appreciate it. We aren't really do it yourselfers, but we are finding a way, mainly by keeping the guest list below 50 (and the only way to do that was to go out of town)

She basically said why she dropped the lawsuit. She thought it was someone else, and most likely there is a substantial backstory about her relationship with the person she thought did it. When she found out who did say it, the context of the words changed from part of either a continued patern of harassment or an attempt to sabotage a career to a singular event of someone badmouthing her.

The change in context resulted in a different understanding of the situation, which lead to a change in how she dealt with it.

Maybe, maybe maybe if you hand someone a netbbok with a distro of linux completely loaded and you make absolutely sure every driver they ever need and every program they ever need is already loaded on it, yeah. If not, sorry, Windows and OSX beat it out.

As for why people buy Macs, I don't know why anyone else did, but I bought mine to edit hi-def with FCP in the field as we are shooting, downloading strait from Sony SxS cards right to the hard drive.

Not everything from the Fly Over is terrible. Jell-O rocks.

Yes, in opposite sex friendships(of the straight variety) sex can get in the way. Deal with it! I've had female friends whom I may have wanted and they weren't into it, and I've had female friends into me when I wasn't into it. You know what we did? We grew up and took contol of ourselves. Human beings, even young single men, do not have to be completely ruled by there sex drives.

Every friendship always has crap gettng inbetween it.
