Thanks for the new thread Mandy.

How's your weekend going?

Thanks for the new thread. :high_five: I love the title. :lol:

Talking about Wii - gah it's expensive! I had no idea it was that expensive till I actually checked the prices yesterday! You can probably get it cheaper online than in regular stores but still... This definitely gotta wait a few months. Probably by Xmas time there's gonna be huge sales anyway.

Yeah, it's expensive.

My weekend is going okay, Mel, thanks for asking. And yours? I spent an hour in line today to recycle...I swear, try to do something good it totally cuts into your day.

I've wanted to buy a Wii but it's really expensive. I'm in the same boat as you Do. :nod:

An hour.........that's no fun. It's good you did though. We gotta do what we can.

I'm tired today. I've had a nice weekend though.

I saw The Strangers, Indy 4, and Sex and the City between Friday and Saturday.

I wanted to see The Strangers, but I keep hearing bad stuff about it. How was it?

The suspense factor was good...........had me jumping a few times which is rare for me. It sort of fizzled toward the end though......I (and many others apparently) thought the ending was kind of lame. The movie is exactly what you see in the trailer. There's no "more" to it which was kind of disappointing. There's not really a payoff or any info. you get. But, suspense wise it was good. The movie was Liv's...........I thought she was good. Scott was just kind of there.

So what did you think of Indy 4 and SatC?

Indy 4 was ok. Too long though. The main plot could have been alot better. But, I loved Shia and the Shia/Harrison interaction was good. I liked all the humor in it. I enjoyed it but it didn't measure up to the other 3 IMO. Did you see it?

I loved Sex and the City. Pretty much perfect.

I did see it, and I liked it. I do agree that is could have been better (why the vine swinging? why?) but I'm a huge fan of the character so I pretty much grinned from ear throughout. :lol: I really love Shia. I used to watch him on Even Stevens but that aside he's been picking projects wonderfully - Disturbia, Transformers ect. Anywho, the church at the end...that's my friends church...she was so happy. :lol:

I haven't seen SatC yet but I'm eager to. How was JHud? I've been hearing mixed things about her.

The vine swinging wasn't necessary, but it did look fun. :lol:

I love Shia too. I loved him in his Even Stevens days too. :) I think he's very talented and I love what he has done so far.

Really? That's pretty cool. :)

Well, I'm a bit biased because I love J Hud. :love: I didn't think she was as awful as some have said, but she definitely didn't seem totally natural in her scenes. Still love her though. I just hope her other two movies will be good performances for her.

Yeah, her church does alot of filming...they did the almost Angela/Hodgins wedding of Bones in there, it was the 7th Heaven church but she was so excited because she never watches whatever the church is in but she loves Indy. :lol:

I heard she wasn't given that much to really do. :shrug: I voted for her every week she was there on AI. :blush:

Awww, I love Hodgela. That's cool it was used for them and for 7th Heaven. It's good she loves Indy since she doesn't watch the others. I'm sure it was cool for her to see it in the movie.

That's another thing I was going to say. It's not like she had alot to do so it could have to do with what she was given which wasn't alot.

J Jud is one of my fave Idols ever. :love: And yep, I voted for her every week too. I was so mad when she got cut fairly early, but things have worked out for her. :D
