Please give me three movies you want to see this summer.

The Angriest Man in Brooklyn.
World War Z (even though I didn't like the book- apparently the film is quite different)
Ways to Live Forever


I'm going to reuse your question. I'm always interested in knowing what's out there.

Please give me three movies you want to see this summer.

I'm going to go see Man of Steel (tonight) and like you, I want to see The Angriest Man in Brooklyn and wwZ - when these films make it to the west coast.

Please give me three books you've read lately and tell us which of the three you'd recommend or if there's a book that's better left for another to read.

World War Z

Monsters University

The Heat

Please give me three movies in theater you recently seen (and maybe an opinion on them):

42 - I owed my BF this one, having dragged him to see the appalling movie version of Les Mis, which even I (a theatre geek) found painful and unnecessary. :| So, '42' is a really enjoyable and moving biopic about Jackie Robinson. I was pleasantly surprised by the film.

The Great Gatsby - it was beautifully made, gorgeous costumes and spot-on art direction but otherwise really disappointing. I really liked the music as well, but playing with the musical genres was about as conceptual as the film got. Not Baz Luhrmann's finest hour. It also reminded me that I really disliked the book, there are no redeemable characters.

Silver Linings Playbook - I loved it! I thought it was absurd and painful and touching. I thought it was very well written and well acted. I particularly loved Jacki Weaver's performance as the foil to the over-the-top crazy. I thought the whole cast was fantastic.


Give me three movies you hope to NEVER see again

communication
acceptance
a good cook

(many more than these, but its what my brain could think of quickly)

gm3 about your ex that you miss

*Laughter!

*Good emotional health: someone that has done, and continues to do, their "work"; someone who is self-aware, and the capacity both to communicate and listen.

*Easiness. I'm not always easy (shocking, right? ;) ). I'm impatient, anxious about outcomes and I like things a certain way, my own special ways. I've learned that my partner needs to have an 'easiness' about them that allows them to be adaptable and unflappable.

That's a good one...and again

Give me three things you can't live without in a partner.

Ooops cross posted!

*Music! (V)
*Travel! (K)
*Goooood Food! (C)

Give me three things you can't live without in a partner

Affection

GM3 things that make you feel free

Gimme 3 aspirations for your bucket list

Any sentence that begins with "Don't get mad, Mom, but..."
The sound of a cat yakking up in the middle of the night (and if JAGG makes one comment about his disdain of cats...)
The realization that blue flashing lights are for me.

Girlikeu2 asked about three aspirations on your bucket list, so I concur!

I'm tempted to make a smart ass remark about cats now, but I will show a little disipline just this once. But I'm tempted!
Hey I figure if I have to listen to all you cat lovers and how much you love your cats (gag) . Then you have to listen to how much I don't love your cat. It's only fair.

3 Bucket List Items
 

1. Audition for and act in a play. (Community theater is fine; I'm not trying to go to Broadway at my age, lol.)
