Susan in TN Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I have never seen Blade Runner. I had to google it. :leaving: Is it good? I mean, in an early 80s kind of way. :D I thought it was fairly awful. Very little discernible plot. Characters were pretty flat; the acting was sad. But it's a cult classic, so what do I know? :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 We made it through the first dinosaur movie last night. He bought the whole sequence of movies, so we "get" to watch "the Lost World" next. If it makes you feel any better, the movies all have the same plot. So you've basically seen all of them now. I like the Jurassic film scores. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Watched the movie "The Judge" with Robert Duvall and Robert Downey, Jr. and really enjoyed it last night (with dh). I never realized how hot RD,Jr. is. :leaving: How did I never notice this before? :confused1: I slept weird, but I am only on 10 mg of prednisone now. One more day. Rash still itches, but it is fading. My wrist hurts. I made turkey meatballs and veggies for lunch. The house is mostly in order. Talking to the odd father about sending Cousin Robert a gift card for his marriage while dh and the cat share my lap. I am running out of lap.

Critterfixer Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The boys are finishing up school for the day. I think we are going to go for a drive out to the mountains this afternoon. Hopefully that will jump start my imagination, which has been somewhat bogged down in the doldrums of the mundane. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Iron Man. :001_tt1: I never saw this. Maybe I should. (I don't think so, anyway....I never remember when I have seen movies.) Why does he have to be so short? This eliminates him as a marriage prospect. Well, that, and so many other things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Hugh Jackman, who is adorable and VERY attractive as Wolverine. But not so much in other roles. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I made Bob's Red Mill chocolate cake from the mix today. It is delicious.

I see your Viggo and I raise you to Richard Armitage - but not in LOTR I have a tumblr account ostensibly to follow study trends but mostly I follow people who post gifs of actors.

It's nice being middle aged and married and to be able to say to your husband about RD,Jr. , "He's really good looking. I don't think I ever noticed quite how much before. Is that bad?" And he says, "Nah." RD, Jr. seems very smart, too, and smart is the new sexy. Oh wait, smart was always the sexy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought he was cute, but when he was in his downward spiral, he was really not attractive. I liked Hugh Jackman in .... Uh...the tear jerker movie of a couple years ago....Les Mis. I liked him a lot in that one. Also in the category of "super hot but just in this role" is Viggo Mortensen in Lord of the Rings. No kidding. I had a major crush on him in that movie and then I saw other pictures of him later and all that and I'm thinking, "Seriously? Seriously?

Susan in TN Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Back from the recital. The kids did well and I survived. The blessed co-op director, however, thought it would be appropriate to schedule all the wind players in the first half of the recital, and then half-way through when they were all done, have them LEAVE the recital to have a rehearsal in another room for another event. What kind of @%#$& idiot does that? And before sending them out, she decided to hold a big group photo. Right before ds was supposed to play his cello piece. Only 4 more weeks and then we are rid of her. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetpea3829 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 How about actors that are not necessarily physically attractive but have a very attractive personality? Owen Wilson would be one. Same with what's his face....the guy from The Proposal... Ryan Reynolds! And I was a teenager when I had a big crush on Sam Neill, based on his role in Merlin.

sweetpea3829 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Also....we've been worried about our dogs being aggressive towards their pet sitter, as they are very protective of the house and they don't know this neighbor too well. So we asked the neighbor to stop by while we were out, just to see how the dogs would react.Well the wimps ran and hid upstairs. Full size 100 lb and 60 lb dogs.Nice to know, if somebody tries to break in, my dogs will hide under our bed and let them take the family jewels (of which there are none).Babies. I bet Gwyneth would do better. Edited because...too many pronouns...lol. Edited April 3, 2016 by Sweetpea3829 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awhile ago, but I recall the kids enjoying it. It's a little odd, if I remember correctly. We are listening to The Mouse With the Question Mark Tail, for the second time. They really enjoyed this one. They also enjoyed the entire series of The Guardians of Gahool (which can be a bit violent in parts). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
