thanks biff, you find that bh townhouse for me,, lol

Benson,
I’m really not all that bad 😉
Yes, agree with you.
I don’t like alot of nudity* in movies, while I’m no prude; far from it (be quiet everyone!!). I’d rather see a love scene done without flesh, or just a shoulder or bare back, but yet you can sense the extreme passion.

There is definitely an art to storytelling. If done right it should be captivating and one should be entranced. The viewer should be anxious for the next scene.

I get so easily bored with movies and television shows. It takes alot to impress me. I can predict the conclusions, plot lines, even predict dialogue while watching. Hubby hates watching movies with me because I always tell him what’s going to happen.
You know I’m bored watching a movie when I start yelling at the screen; of course only when I’m home.
And I had a couple of those moments while watching ‘The Reader’

btw – Atlas Shrugged one of my favorite books!

*nudity in certain movies is a must!!!

Dave the market is set to go up unless OBAMA clunks it with any bad news or negative talk. I am long bgu but purchased puts for protection. Kind of like my back pocket condoms. My wife wants me to stop carrying but I tell her I need it for protection. Last thursday I wrote on brownstoner that tuesday would be the day and here we go its tuesday and the market is up… MY CHARTS ARE BETTER THAN BLOOMBERGS.

“I think intimacy and eroticism can be conveyed with out showing so much. (Hey, I like subtlety)”

BRG,

Between this comment, and the one above about the SAT’s, I’m starting to think that you’re OK!! IMHO, most movie makers today are experts at technique, but don’t know how to tell a story. Where is the artistry??

I’m currently reading Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”, and she writes about some love scenes with all sorts of subtlety, but never once writes graphically.

> Snark…you haven’t heard of the “plunge doctors?”

That’s who you call when the Toto gets clogged, right?
