I found Shallow Hal a pretty good film. Maybe not all pretty people are bastards, and not all ugly people are nice, but this is a comedy movie, so it stereotypes some kinds of people. It's not a portrait of real life. But still, makes us think about some issues we live in real life. Victor. Em 15 Apr 2003, Christine Irene escreveu:
greetings to the sinister posse. it is a rather balmy 85 degrees in chicagoish today. our attempts to play outside were foiled by the fact that the youngest of my charges is afraid of the outdoors. well, not the entire outdoors, just wind, leaves, and birds. you can imagine how this might impair an outing. maybe you can't.
the weekened was odd. i woke up saturday morning with the most exhilerating sense of optimism. "this is my day i thought." i honestly felt i was going to win the lottery or something. so i went to get the post from my PO BOX. i got a letter from my bank saying that the balance in my checking account was -281.64. there went my lucky streak. a chance encounter led me to meeting my cousin colleen, whom i never see. she and i, and her 2 kids, went to grab some lunch and had a nice visit. on saturday night i saw "Bend It Like Beckham." I love that movie! i was going to see it in oxford when i was there last year....i couldn't find the movie theatre though :o) my cousin, who is newly 14, and his best friend tyler, asked if they could go to the cinema with me....they're pretty cool, as 14 year olds go, so i said ya. they hated it. i told patch (my cousin) that i didn't really care...he owed me a movie he disliked as he made me take him to see "Zoolander" last year. what a shite movie. sept the fountain that sprayed gasoline :o)
speaking of movies. have you seen that movie "Shallow Hal?" i dunno. it just seems offensive to every group of people. all of the aesthetically pretty people have ugly souls, all of the unattractive people have this gorgeous inner beauty...very sterotyped i think. the overweirght girl orders 98 cheeseburgers and breaks a chair. i dunno. i like to think that pretty people can be nice and that un-pretty people can be bastards. also, i dont think that people with wieght problems necessarily eat all of the time. weird. ah well. i have seen it a couple of times and, honestly, i don't know that they are trying to pigeon hole people like that, i think it is just supposed to be about this shallow guy who finds true love in a less than perfect package. i dunno. i really don't like gwynyth paltrow though. i think she is a pretty awful actress. it surprises me how many british people i know think she does well using a faux british accent...i think she sounds awful! ah well. who cares. she gets to shag chris martin, which is more than i get to do.
i have a couple of new sinister friends...jinnifer (who needs to post more) and rachel fruitloop *blushes*
i sent an off list email to someone yesterday. it got me to thinking about us lot and our personalitites. i was thinking that most of us are probably pretty similar. sort of shy, a little bit "quirky", more likely to hide in a corner than barge into a room full of strangers and command attention. somehow, in the confines of sinister, we are really social and un-awkward. i love sinister.
ah well. i sp'ose i have said my piece for the day. love to you all. stay safe and happy. :o)
ps...on a sad note...i heard that investigators in california found a woman's body and that of a full term fetus. they think it may be that woman who disappeared on christmas eve. i hope not. i hope she is in montana being happy and just left because her husband was a knobhead. i really hope it isn't her :o(
love ~stine
"i'm proud to have an udder like my father...no, my mother!" hee hee...one of my favourite lyrics of all time
