I loved Life of Pi. It's one of my all time favs. What did you think?

PS. About the capitol punishment. The lawyer chose a hard and penniless life over death.

I love this story. Though I appear to have a different understanding of it than most. To me it means that life is worthless. Knowledge teaches us nothing real, except the realization of how useless and harmful we all are - rich or poor. The banker was self obsessed and greedy enough to...

What's wrong with Dustin Hoffman? I didn't see him mentioned. Also - Al Pacino - Robert DeNiro and loads of 'em.

What a miserable bunch of readers we must have here! The moaning thread has loads more posts; what is it with you all? I'm happy today because I saw two drivers pulled over for speeding. I saw loads of folk get drenched in a sudden downpour while I was cozy in my car, and best of all Family...

I read it - well most of it, I had to skip all those long descriptions, yawn. It did nothing for me. It appeared to do nothing for the main characters either.:rolleyes:

'I'm with the Band' by Pamela de Barres(confessions of a groupie) is a great read if you can get hold of a copy, Amazon usually has it. Probably better for older readers as it's mostly sixties/seventies bands. She had Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Kieth Moon, Jim Morrison, Don Johnson (I'm...

All I can say, is why have none of you said Midnight Cowboy? You can't have seen it, that's all I can think. It's hillarariously funny, gut-wrenchingly sad and has some brilliant music 'Everybody's Talkin' is just one of great tracks. Come on, it won twelve Oscars!

I've finished it now. I want everyone to read it. I want everyone to talk about it. Everyone should talk about remarkable things.

It is so good, I've had to stop myself from finishing it. I'm almost at the end. Every word is perfect and beautiful. Every character is real and lovable. You live in that northern street, watching it all unfurl. I'm off to read the end now.

Perhaps they make the sound inaudible on purpose. So we can't hear the rubbish they are talking. Thus saving money on decent script writers.

I can only think of an utterly dreadful film I watched the other night. 'Identity.' Couldn't understand the lead actress ( Amanda Peet?) but John Cusack and the rest were fine. Most of the time I switch them off.

I can follow Family Guy easily. South Park I had to give up trying.

I find it impossible to understand some actors in American films these days. I need sub-titles. I'd say the younger ones are the most difficult. Have you stopped speaking English over there? Is it regional accents, or just general sloppiness? Although I can understand the old films with a...

I loved it. It tells the tale of humanities struggle with the goings on inside our heads in an easy to read enjoyable way, with some very amusing one-liners. But I am a cynical atheist!:)

I got all bar one right. But the score marker was wrong.:innocent:

There are worse ones which I've given up on, but the worst one I've completed is 'The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break'- Something just compelled me to keep on reading. Yet :confused:! Bookslut | The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break by Steven Sherrill

Raging Bull is the only one I can think off. Do I need to see it?

I found the Bell Jar boring, depressing and worse.:sick: An ex-friend lent it to me, she thought it was wonderful.

Pulp Fiction. Trainspotting. Midnight Cowboy. Dusk till Dawn. Shawshank Redemption. Lady and the Tramp. Withnail and I. There are more. Anyone who hasn't seen these films hasn't lived.
