A Response to Roger Ebert’s post about Health Care
I read Ebert’s more emotional/moral post about Universal Health Care and this was my response: I’ve had insurance for most of my life. When I worked for myself I didn’t, but I had enough money to get the root canal I needed. I read once that the main difference between people with insurance and without, [...]
All I’m in the mood to do is watch movies
…and maybe make out while I watch them. Have you ever had one of those days? weeks? years? I can’t seem to get myself to envision anything I want to do, but I would like to see the following films: Tulpan because, as Roger Ebert says, “there has to come a time in everyone’s life [...]
The Center will not hold? Doom and gloom for the New Year?
Ebert wrote a blog post. It’s all coming to pieces, isn’t it — the world we live in, the continuity we thought we could count on, the climate, the economy, the fragile peace. The 20th century was called “the American Century,” with some reason. I do not believe the 21st century will belong to anybody, [...]
Roger Ebert
I love Roger Ebert. (Roger Ebert has a new picture up on his site. He’s older, wiser, been through cancer. He has a kind and insightful look on his face.) I had to say it here because, I love Roger Ebert and pobably he is going to die before I do, and when he does, [...]
Film recommendation: Moolaadé
An uplifting story about female genital mutilation, who would believe it? I really don’t like to watch depressing movies, even for a good cause. But Ebert promised that it was uplifting. But here, read his words that convinced even me: “Moolaade” is the kind of film that can only be made by a director whose [...]
Poem for the day: A ritual to read to each other
Well, Day 1 and Day 2 slipped by without much fan fare and now I am HOME! No more office job til January! :) It’s raining and I have a cold, but I am drunk with the freedom of the day! :) I’m going to go see Juno, which Ebert says is good and looked great [...]
Reading Ebert reviews
Do you ever just feel so much compassion for people and our plight as humans? Me too. It’s a good thing we have movies to distract us! And TV, lots of TV! I’m writing tongue in cheek, but also being serious. So many people, (including me!) do things that I don’t approve of, like spend [...]
Real Life Update
I love reading Andrea’s real life updates over at Roundy Wells. I wish all my friends and family had blogs! So, today I am going to treat you to a real life update. Men: Nada. (Wow, this is quick!) I theoretically want to get married and if I happened to meet someone that I clicked [...]
Movies I want to see:
Crash The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe (Even though it is so going to be anti-witch. ;) I loved these books when I was a kid! Loved, loved, loved them.) Rise Me and you and Everyone we know Batman Begins As you like it Probably: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants [...]
War of the Worlds
I have so much to tell you, but I guess I’ll just do a short post about a movie today. I wish I had one of those programs that automatically posts. It would make my urge to communicate seem more regular and steady. Hey! I just thought of a way to write about the movie [...]
