Who'd Have Thought? "Clean" movies biggest winners.

Here's an article that analyzes the revenues earned by movies without foul language, violence, explicit sex or substance abuse compared with those that include these things.  As you can see, depravity loses bigtime.  Good on you, American movie-goers!  You're rewarding decency and punishing filth-peddlers the best way possible - with your dollars.

a nightmare!  When I was a little kid one of my uncles said something like some of the bridges in Missouri are so old that pieces fall off with every car that drives across.  Couple that with my fear of water and drowning, I have been afraid of bridges ever since!  To see that awful site on CNN with the bridge collapsing into the Mississippi River with 50 cars on it -- I could feel myself breathing faster and my heart racing!

How horrible for those people on the bridge whose cars went into the water and the school bus with kids just sitting on the piece of broken, hanging bridge.  The parents were probably hysterical with fear and worry!

I've been praying for everyone involved since last night. 

The first winners were male partners who did party food.  I forget their names, but they had a show on weekend mornings called Party Time or something. 

I voted for Amy this time too.  She had interesting information and knew what the heck her angle was at the word go. 

rapidly adding on pounds sitting here most of the day, but don't have a gym nearby and cant afford to be on the road for an hour 1-way to get to the closest one.  Am sliding down the slope to obesity real quick.  Does the information help you?  Is it worth the $$?  Can this be done without an exercise buddy?

Any replies would help - positive, negative, suggested alternative web-based programs.

Thanks~~   

If I need to research a word or a procedure and I find a link with downloadable free surgical videos...watch out!  Fascinating stuff and man, you learn a lot when you watch them and it's accompanied by the surgeon talking the watcher through step by step, because then it really gels in your head. 

I do most of my shopping on line though, just because the only stores near me are Walmart and Target, which totally don't buy stuff I need around here.  However, sister wouldn't get paid if I did it during work hours, because I spend too much time researching the best deals and always free shipping, so that can take up quite a bit of time.

Both movies can be life changing!  What The Bleep Do We Know is about quantum physics, but it is explained in a way that is easily understandable!  It is really amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone who has been feeling negative or hopeless or powerless lately or just wants to expand their brain and learn something totally alien.

The Secret has similarities to the above movie, but with more simplified explanations.  I pretty much forced my mom to watch The Secret because she has had such a negative view lately and gone through some tough times, and even though she can be a bit skeptical, she loved it!  It really inspired her, and the next day she had a terrific career idea and is at least focusing on the positive a bit more.

I think a simple thing like a movie or a book or even a new idea from a stranger can cause a  slight shift in one's consciousness and can help create a more positive outlook on life, and watching these movies really did make me want to enjoy the beauty of life a little bit more each day and look forward to the adventures life brings and just really feel alive!

I just wanted to recommend the movies to you and also know your thoughts if you have actually seen either movie and if/how they affected your lives.  (~kam)

Mine are (in no particular order)

Wagons East

Super Troopers

Anchorman

Baby's Day Out

Almost Heroes

Elf

Especially American Wedding when Stiffler eats dog doo!  These movies make me pee my pants -- speaking of which, my fav romantic movie is Pretty Woman - that's her line in the opera scene when she tells those old biddies "it was so good, I almost peed my pants."

My best friend loves Grease, too.  She knows every single line (which can get quite annoying).

Now that the holidays are just around the corner we'll be seeing more and more holiday movies.  I'm not into the holidays, but I do like holiday movies.  What are some of your favorites.  I like:

1.  Home for the Holidays (starring Holly Hunter) - very funny.

2.  Bed of Roses (with Christian Slater) - very Romantic.

3.  All the cartoon/animation kids shows like Dr. Seusse's Grinch that Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Rednose Rheindeer (DH loves to imitate the abdominal snow man - and we walk around singing we are Santa's elves while we make movements with our arms like the the animated characters - it's a hoot and we always end up laughing).  :-)

4.  Homecoming - Christmas story with the Waltons.

What is the site where you can watch a movie without paying anything?

thanks
