    The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?

    The only example I can think of offhand are the domestic releases of Studio Ghibli films through Disney.

    The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-An Unnecessary Remake?

    I understand your general point, as it's one I share most of the time. However, the US version of GWTDT turned out to be better than I expected...I was pleasantly surprised! Sometimes the exception proves the rule. RD

    The Artist

    My main quibble with the film was the mistake on my part going to see it on a holiday. I had the misfortune of a young couple sitting in the row in front of me who would not stop whispering to each other conspicuously during the entire film. They also couldn't tear themselves away from their...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I thought the US version of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was better than the Swedish version, and I'm usually of the mind that the US versions of foreign works tend to be inferior. The casting was spot-on, the atmosphere was tense, and the characters were believable. I also saw the latest...

    Weird info I came across... Marilyn and Liz

    I wouldn't be too surprised if the face-shaving turned out to be true...supposedly if a man shaves, he's also taking off the dead skin, etc. For myself, I'm content with exfoliating using a regular kitchen sponge when I shower. It's especially helpful on the body! RD

    Christmas without Christ? Huh?

    Well, I spend Hanukkah with my inlaws, Christmas with my parents, and Solstice with friends. I'm a holiday opportunist because the food is delicious and it's fun to meet up with everyone at this time of year. "Happy Holidays" to me is more inclusive. And I've had people who will vindictively say...

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    So has the population in general, and outlooks have changed. As has been discussed in this thread, we hear a LOT more about the negative stories. Does that mean there are actually more of them going on that isn't growing at the same rate as the population in general? Also take into account the...

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    I don't know if there's any way to know if that's actually true. Are there really accurate records throughout the years that prove your point? There's always been dysfunctionality, and different ways to deal with it, yet it still exists. If you ask me, this is one of those areas where the "good...

    Is this what we, as a society have come to?

    I don't know where you got "abnormalities" from in this conversation. Whatever that may mean. RD

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    Because sometimes those "stupid choices" don't happen in a vacuum, but come from a background of horrific upbringing. So you get generations of abuse in families who see the idyllic family upbringing as fantasy, not something that they'll necessarily be able to achieve themselves. It's not as if...

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    Meh, I don't think that's true. There are some people who identify as feminists who put down women who choose a more traditional/conservative lifestyle...until it's pointed out that feminism is about the personal choice to pursue whatever lifestyle a woman chooses, and having the equal options...

    Is this what we, as a society have come to?

    I wish that women in general were valued for more than looking pretty without needing any substance whatsoever.

    Does your body change every 7 years?

    Supposedly one's metabolism changes every seven years. I don't know if that's true. I do know that the past year and a half has seen me gain more weight than I'd like. I'm blaming the constant barrage of bagels available at work, so I'm going to stay away from them for awhile and see if my...

    Eyebrow question for red heads

    My hair is on the lighter side of red, but it's rare that I see redheads with actual red brows and lashes. Not saying that doesn't happen, but it's not important to match eyebrows and lashes to red hair with red. I have to draw in my naturally blonde eyebrows in with a brown pencil or else I...

    Translucent brows...ungh

    I also have see-through lashes and brows and it drives me bonkers! Have you tried brown eyeshadow and an angled brush? I find using that combination creates brows that are natural looking, but you can add color with precision. I'd recommend finding a way to set the brows afterward, or else the...

    The general decline in standards today

    It sounds like meth use. Which, along with crack, has got to be one of the worst things to have happened to everyday society. Not only does crime rates go up because the people who are on those drugs become so self-obsessed that they forget so many things about being human, but especially with...

    Fabulous Hollywood Costume Auction

    WOW, that auction looks amazing! I didn't download the catalog, but just what is shown on the site is quite spectacular! I might be able to go to one of the previews in mid-June, if I can swing it! RD

    Like, You know

    The use of the phrase, "I'm all" when describing one's emotions, thoughts or reactions drives me bananas. She cut in front of me in the checkout line, and I was all, "The back of the line is behind me!" AUGH!!!! I say "awesome" a lot. And "absolutely". My sister and I tend to start our...
