It seemed a bit too convenient and I was disappointed the writers didn't put more thought into it. And it was definitely wrapped up with a pretty (if not bloody) little red bow.<BR/><BR/>Worth seeing none-the-less.<BR/><BR/>Loved Titanic, what can I say? I'll never let go, Jack! ;-)mai wenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570452594754186072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1162152472627470242006-10-29T15:07:00.000-05:002006-10-29T15:07:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh!

So...brand-new, self-inflating whooppee cushion? check. Toy shotgun with cheesy sound effects and actual plastic cartridges? check (yes, it's creepy that that's a toy). Med. sized pane of glass in a pillow case with a hammer to shatter said glass? check. Compendium of animal samples combined through the magic of GarageBand into a barnyard soundtrack? check.<BR/><BR/>You wouldn't believe the crap that goes into making sound effects for things like "evil, hyper-intelligent squirrels rampage and shoot out all the television screens in WalMart."

I think I'll pick up the soundtrack, actually, although a few of the music cut-outs were rather harsh in the movie, almost jarring. Still, I really enjoyed it. I thought Leo did a fantastic job.Sandra Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109584805469336742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1162127588093214852006-10-29T08:13:00.000-05:002006-10-29T08:13:00.000-05:00Im totally with you on "The Departed" ..

I think what impressed me most was how Mr. Scorsese, with a big assist from screenwriter William Monahan, was able to transport his "Mean Streets" from New York/New Jersey to south Boston with such easeReel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1162098418045072552006-10-29T01:06:00.000-04:002006-10-29T01:06:00.000-04:00Fine.

It's a big ship. It sinks. And the movie will surprise me how? Still, DiCaprio was awesome in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (as was Johnny Depp and Juliette Lewis).<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear about your mom - hope it wasn't anything serious. What is it with your family and getting hit by cars?! That's a nasty trend ya got going there.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751466673491487048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1162098263281949882006-10-29T01:04:00.000-04:002006-10-29T01:04:00.000-04:00That makes three... four if Evilkev is also one of...That makes three... four if Evilkev is also one of the few, the proud, the Titanic-free. :D<BR/><BR/>I hope your mother is all right too.

I'm not a big DiCaprio fan either, and I'm sure hubby will decline to accompany me. He and my brother are the last people on Earth who have not watched Titanic, and they're damned proud of it!s.w. vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102544611773720262noreply@blogger.com
