I love this Williams discussion! I think one of my favorite movies with him was Bicentennial Man. The concept was really profound, but the execution not so much. Unfortunately I don't think it did really well in theaters. Aladdin I liked, not a fav, but Williams performance is a classic.

ML I agree with all your Robin notes...I think I missed the bicentennial man movie .... thanks for that list ....I had forgotten a couple. I still watch Good Will Hunting when I run across it....I love that movie....I haven't seen Pop Eye ( although I watched hours and hours of Pop Eye cartoons as a kid. ( young ones will have no idea of him)

Have I told you lately ML how much I enjoy your take on everything and I love that "we were separated at birth" basically very different type ppl that like the same things thank you FF and Jason

kwiki I love your take on things too

Kwiki i've never heard of Bicentennial Man. I'm going to have to add it to my ever expanding of things to watch.

Did anyone see One Hour Photo? I think it was a totally different type of role of him?

Aww Podmom I also love our similar (and different) take on things.

And I am the devils advocate.

I saw One Hour photo!! He was very creepy in it!!
Also loving these memories of Robin. I still can't believe he's gone.

I think this board for introducing me to ALL OF YOU!!!! You guys are awesome!!!!

Also never heard of 'Bicentennial Man' and I thought "One Hour Photo" looked too creepy a movie for me to watch. Definitely was a very talented comedian and actor; seemed like a very bright and thoughtful man; had kind of a lonely childhood (upper class father who worked a lot/wasn't around much) as a weird kid, and then of course the drugs, women, and all that...

Aw thanks PodMom, yes, sisters separated at birth! The friendships from FF over the years have been the best. Made some very good friends through Roswell (and only met a couple of 'mean girls' along the way ) I think nice people attract nice fans - Hm, like I imagine somebody like Andrew Dice Clay (a rude comedian type) fans would be mean loudmouths?

'Aladdin' definitely has some really good Disney songs ('A Whole New World' sigh!) plus good enough that they made a successful Broadway show out of it too. Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Mermaid has music by Howard Ashman and Allan Menken, but then Ashman died of AIDS and Disney songs haven't been quite as good.

Ekua

Aww Aubie you are awesome!! Having you here is fabulous!

Oh the music in The Lion King is my favourite Disney music.

Is One Hour Photo worth watching?

Kwikimart727

Ohh yeah, The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie period. I watched it recently...it's been over twenty years...and I still don't forgive Scar
As for music, Pocahontas "Colors of the wind", had me reevaluating my life at 8 years old!

this comment from Ekua > And I am the devils advocate < made me laugh out load thanks for that

ML gosh we have been enjoying our escape to LALA land ( what we call this place girls not the new movie) through many years and some really tough life stuff. Good to escape to a fun place...healthy

Back at ya to our wee girls

time for a group hug

Ekua

Haha it's true though!!

Never seen Pocahontas!

Awww so much

podmom

it is

I liked Pocahontas not as good of music but that one song is great and the animation is really pretty during it.

I love all stories about the Native Americans.... horrifying outcome for them....mostly due to disease from the Europeans and of course out right greed and lies

Where I live there is a road called Indian Town rd because there was an "Indian" town here. The Lenni Lenape tribe. There is a huge flat rock along the creek we hike and I always imagine the native women there doing there wash and hanging out it is such an obvious place to do that I feel sure they did.

I searched a bit but couldn't find a pic of that rock...I'll have to take a pic and post it next time we hike that trail.

Decided to post some of my world

I see this old little church ( now a part of the park....it is full of arrow heads etc) all the time




random pix of the creek

Ekua

Podmom thank you for those pictures. So interesting. The Church is pretty. Is it all set out for visitors now?

I'm sure you're right about the creek too It looks like a perfect washing spot.

podmom

That little is part of the park and is opened once in awhile...at least it used to be. In that grave yard is the "ticking grave" if you put your ear to the grave site there you hear a sound like a heart...it is some underground rivulet or something.

It is prerevolutionary I think so older than 200 yrs...old for here young for you

this is a picture of a plaque on a monument in front of the church...talking about the Indian town and when the land was purchased




it says

that was your American history lesson for the day

Ekua

That's so spooky! So interesting though

Yeah 200 years is nothing My house is nearly that old!

podmom

wow I know ...when I was in Europe I thought wow now this place is old!

up there Ekua

aubie_ocean

That's hilarious that you say that Ekua how your place is okder than 200 because someone said the same thing recently when they visited scotland! Our oldest buildings here don't come close to your buildings.

Also love lion king! I was actually went in a Disney store on sunday JUST because i heard the lion king soundtrack playing!!
