taips santa watch

Yep, doesn't detract from the movie.

Of course the book was far better.

It\'s set in older days and she plays the daughter of a Rabbi and cos she\'s a woman, she\'s not allowed to discuss or debate theology or Jewish law etc, so when her father dies she disguises herself as a boy and goes off to study. Of course, this bloke falls in love with her and she loves him and then she gets her norks out and they live happily ever after.

Well I thought it was a bloody good film and it always makes me cry.

Sounds rivetting.

Having seen the movie I can promise there is no rivetting.

Well, there's no cowboys and injuns, and nobody getting a hole in their head, or blown to bits . . . if that's what you mean.

Now, now, Dem. Don't count me out of the group of big boofy blokes that enjoys a good sentimental movie.

Name one then . . .

Shoot 'em Up.

Hey, there are a lot of very moving moments in that movie.


I would rate it as a chick flick.

Same with Shoot 'em Up. The whole story is a tear-bringer.

A very poignant piece that moved me to tears.

That last scene where the benefactor gives her the money she needs was the most poignant moment of the movie.

The only movement was in your pants.

Just because you haven't seen one of the all time classics.

The candle wax scene (what was that old chick's name) was pretty teary - as in painful.

taips slowing the strokes down now for maximum effect.

And there was the scene were the 2 young girls had to wash hat dude's car in the rain cos they needed the cash so bad. At least he took then inside to dry their clothes.

Is that one of the tender moments you were telling me about?

Classy cinematography and 1st rate acting.

How rude

Mad woman was trying to tell a very emotional story and you have to spoil the plot for us.

Must admit, Yentl - yech!!! Prince of Tides - very good.

So, ya gonna bring up the milestone with some fanfare tonight, taips, or save it for Chrissy Eve?

Hope your Santas enjoy their last festive jig.

Nah, I have this funny feeling it might be sometime today.
