I think the sound of music is an awesome movie. In fact we dug it out recently and watched it agian for the umpteenth time.

I recently watched Mamma Mia again. Love it. Love Abba music, loved Pierce Brosnan groaning out songs. (I cannot believe he did that).

With five kids and ten grandkids if I am gay I have not seen any evidence of it other than liking some musicals.

Isn't "The Wizard Of Oz" (the original) considered a "musical" in its own right?

If so..."Thay there thailor!"

Er...ah...I like "T1-T3" kinda' shows...

That way, you can go "over the top" with whatever views you have and no one should get confused.

Either that, or we give each ticket purchaser a 5-minute "reality check" before he enters the theater. If the movie-goer can't come up with a valid ID, has trouble remembering the spelling of his/her first name or uses Velcro instead of shoe-strings to keep his/her shoes on his/her feet, then they can't see a real movie.

And that there, is MO, and I'm sticking to it!
exhaustive testing has been performed on people watching video. the man who invented the PET (Positive Emmission Tomography) machine gave a speech at UCLA. he showed PET images of the brain while LISTENING to AUDIO. vast regions of the brain were literally lit up like a light bulb!

he then showed PET images of the brain while watching a movie or television. WOW! the brain literally SHUTS DOWN when watching video! only a very small portion was lit up. turn on the television or watch a movie and TURN OFF YOUR MIND. perhaps that's why television became known as the IDIOT BOX.

this may help explain why only two industries made money during the depression, one of which was movie theaters.

That's part of the role. The movie is one big cartoon.

Hmm, more precisely, Captain Von Trapp was dodging the draft, instead of reporting to Bremerhaven, yes?

perhaps, depending on which "truth" you read. they didnt actually escape across the Alps, but supposedly took a car somewhere and then eventually off the GB.
