I think I was more impressed by Lena than Piper in IM&Y. I haven't seen Fingersmith. I have Tipping the Velvet on DVD but I didn't buy it though, I seem to have aquired it from somewhere. Lol.

I like Fingersmith a lot better than Tipping the Velvet, even though frankly the actresses aren't as attractive. But I like Sally Hawkins, and I like the story better. I didn't read the book first so I really didn't know what was going to happen with Sue and Maud (Miss Lilly!). So many twists and heartwrenching moments.

I guess I'll try and watch it at some point.

That's the character's name. Weird coincidence huh?

Try not to sound so enthusiastic.

Aah! I thought it was supposed to mean something to me, and I've never seen or read this, so I was a little confused

I guess I didn't sound that enthused. I look forward to watching it sometime soon, it sounds good.

LOL, I'm extremely romantic in RL, but I just can't stand bad written movies, I guess I'm too picky...? At the end of that movie I was just like
But yeah, that's probably one of the few real lesbian movies out there, even if it wasn't clear if Rachel was gay or bi or what. I'd so love to have more, you know, real love stories between girls, not just tragic stuff.

Aw, I liked how IM&Y ended.

me too!!! eli you are dead inside

you're a wanker number 9!!!!!!!!!

Just saw Red, with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, etc.

I love these crazy, stupid spy films that weren't serious about themselves.

And how does Helen Mirren manages to be so sexy at 66?

------------

I seriously need to see more lesbian films. I saw Fingersmith some years ago and it was fun. I have the book, but never read it.

Helen Mirren does look fantastic for her age.

I watched The Lincoln Lawyer last night and I liked it a lot.

A few days ago I watched Boy Wonder and Columbiana, which basically have the same theme- child's parent(s) are murdered in front of them. Child grows up to be a messed-up vigilante killer seeking revenge. Boy Wonder was better than Columbiana though, despite the fact that I find Zoe Saldana hot. I think Boy Wonder had better acting and it was written better. Cooler ending as well.

There needs to BE more lesbian films.

Yes, please. I wish there was a Brokeback Mountain for girls (critically acclamaid, box office sucess, huge cast, etc). I will probably drown in my own tears if I ever see something like that.

I was just talking about bags and the conversation reminded me of Mary Poppins. I just love this movie. So many happy memories of my childhood. And I've always liked Mary Poppins more than The Sound of Music

This video is not good quality, but this is definitely one of my favorite scenes:

I love Mary Poppins!!

It's such a perfect, adorable fim, right?

I've just realized my little cousin looks a lot like the girl.

I wanted to grow up and be Mary Poppins when I was little. I wanted to be practically perfect in every way.

I watched "The Help" yesterday and I have to say it was one of the best movies I've ever seen!

I've been wanting to watch that one. I think I'll go get it from Red Box.

Has anyone seen My Boy Jack starring Daniel Radcliffe? I thought that was a great movie. It's about WWI and it made me cry a lot. I just thought of it when I saw a preview for The Woman in Black. I might see that, just because Daniel's in it.

Is that the one about Kipling's son? I like it too. Daniel Radcliffe (random, I always think of Mike now when I see a pic of him lol) is actually a very decent actor. I think he is going to have a very interesting career. He also seems to be a very nice, smart guy. I've seen some of his quotes and I really like it.

LOL!

Kenzi talking a bit russian or whatever on LG reminded me of this movie, Lilja 4-ever.

I definitely recommend it!

I want to watch it again now, but sadly I loaned away my dvd and never got it back. Hoping I can find it online with subtitles. (Because yes, they do speak russian, but don't let that put you off. Like seriously. Get a hold of this movie, and watch it)

Aww My Girl....i remember that.

Wait, was that the one where the boy (or the girl?) gets stung by bees and dies?

Yes, the boy, the main character Vada's best friend, dies from bee stings trying to get a ring back that Vada lost. It's so sad .
