Films

I love the Hunger games all of the movies and pride and prejudice 2005.

These have been my special interests for years!! 

2005 Pride and prejudice is an utter masterpiece

I think if we delved too far into authors' lives, we wouldn't read anything. But if it's a serious issue, I would be hesitant about reading the works, particularly if I was feeling vulnerable. I find I can only watch a narrow range when I'm in a certain frame of mind. For instance, I used to love Cllint Eastwood's films but can't watch them now.

Thanks for this - it sounds like a difficult but interesting 'watch.'

Ive watched this fairly recently too plus Ive several of his books of poetry. His war poems are the most well known and rightly so. Im uncomfortable with his turn to Catholicism at the end of his life, mainly as (personal opinion) it is a toxic, abusive and hypocritical belief system, you are though correct in that the film didn’t explore this aspect well. 

The catholicism of some writers I enjoy is an ongoing problem for me, Im thinking particularly of Graham Greene and T.S.Eliot. It is that age old conundrum of can we separate the art from the artist?.  On balance I feel we must as not to leads to book burning then so often to the burning (literal or metaphor) of people.  Additionally we need to read both sides of every coin to understand its message

The worse thing about films is I dont seem to register everything that is said, so if it is conversation heavy, I miss out.  I also can get a wave of uncontrollable tiredness that I cant shake off and nod. The best are probably action films where you can pick up whats happening

Recently saw the new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie!! AAAAAHHHH IT WAS LIKE A REUNION WITH CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, IT WAS SO GOOD!!!

The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins are really good - I remember when I used to stay at my Grandparents I'd always ask them to put them on!

So many memorable quotes

"Playtime is over!" 

"FASCIST!" "HAG!"

I like The Sound of Music, Marry Poppins, Radio, Forrest Gump, Rain Man and Flushed Away

Yarp!

I haven’t seen Forrest Gump in a long time but is it right that Forrest Gump is autistic,I can’t remember?xx

Yes, very good film. Not seen it in ages so might have to suggest that on film night.

Have you seen Robin Hood: Men in Tights? Love that film, hilarious

Two towers is good!

I think I saw some of his fuzz and decided it wasn't for me

Is robin and the seven hoods based on robin hood?

I'll have to check this out sounds really good

What's pet sematary like? Sounds good!

Is the lost boys anything to do with Peter Pan?
