do you watch professional sports? which sports do you watch? No. I am mildly amused by curling, though. do you watch sports being played on television, or on location? I have had the misfortune of being drug to an NHL hockey game. Walking into a bathroom where there was literally a...

Have you considered moving to someplace warm, like Florida?

That towel is DEFINITELY too hot for me to touch.

One man's warmth is another man's "Too darn hot", causing them to go outside of their comfort zone. Allow me to illustrate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZarrxOkhTpw

I went down the same path, and threw out most of the stuff I had several years back. I'll post one of my favorite melancholy songs. Since my tastes are a bit strange and since this is such an old recording, I'll post the lyrics, should anyone have trouble hearing all of them. In...

Likewise. :) I'm a very old soul, so old films come naturally. I think I "friended" you correctly. If not, just let me know, and I'll try to mess it up again. :P

I'm a guy, and had the same struggles growing up. It got to the point where I hated my body enough that I started burning myself to create scars. Some of them were pretty deep and so they are still with me today in my 30s. I don't really care about them now as I'm beyond all of that, but they...

Yeah, I believe it was the syphilis that was giving her the psychosis issues. I'm not a doctor, though. There is also the element of what may have been subconscious influences on his film story lines, too. I will agree that the idea of rescuing women is an element in several of his...

The most recent biographical material, if you will call it that, that I have picked up on Chaplin is Taschen's The Chaplin Archives. It is an absolute beast of a book, weighing in at over 14 pounds. It mostly deals with the production of his material, with a dusting of his personal life and...

Chaplin's films are extraordinary in our time too! The unpublished preface to Chaplin's autobiography stipulated that his poverty and early life suffering taught him nothing other than distorted values. That being said, he carried a huge burden in that he was such an auterist. As far as...

Andrew Carnegie also tried to institute changes to the English language around the turn of last century. I don't know what they were and how they were similar to or differed from Webster's, but yeah. Mark Twain also got wrapped up in it as well, although I believe he brought up more of the...

I know I'm the new guy here and also the odd duck character, but is there any chance of at least sharing the list of what you had considered for viewing in these two evolutions of cinematography? I am familiar with the contributions of Russian films and the German Expressionism genre, and...

I know this one has already been "watched" in the order of films here, but this is hands down my favorite Chaplin film. It is close between this one and Modern Times, but there always seems to be something blowing through the room when I see this, and I get stuff in my eyes. Every time. The...

No, no, and triple no. Two words: Spaceflight osteopenia. That being said, I would be thrilled at the possibility of actually visiting space, though.

You Are a Controller When it comes to productivity, you run a tight ship... even if you're working entirely by yourself. You are big on planning and schedules. When you start to write things down, it's amazing how much you are able to squeeze in. You are highly determined and quite stubborn...
