| Posted 5/8/2005 5:24 PM (GMT -6) |   | Man, i'm finding a new thing is occuring to me now. I'm starting to view you guys as my friends. That's so bizarre. I just saw "Finding Neverland" and it made me feel so good and the first thing I was thinking was, "Man, I gotta talk about this with the peeps on the site!" And if you look at my last 5 or 10 posts, there all like real gushy and passionate and stuff. So I have two questions:
1) Is this normal? Is one hundred posts about the time this starts happening to everyone? Or has it actually even happened to ANYONE?
and if so,
2) Does anyone want to talk about "Finding Neverland?"

You've got to persevere through that, man, suppress the urge. Around post 500, you'll hate us all and will be thinking of new and creative ways to ridicule us.

I just called over to Laika’s house. His better half said he was locked up by himself and couldn’t be disturbed. I asked her what in the world he was doing, and guess what her reply was, “every Sunday he watches Finding Neverland”.
Hypocrites, go figure.

Yeah Laika... wasn't that you that I saw starting another thread on another board on another web system... (one of those mac-based ones or something) about Neverland???  (Haha, ok, I'm really stretching it, aren't I?) Besides, what's so bad about being 12 anyways??? 
Ok, on to being a bit more serious (sorry, I'm just a bit giddy now that I've finally finished my student-teaching on Friday. Woo hoo!!! The semi-torture is over!)
With Finding Neverland my husband and I saw it about oh, a month or two ago. Very interesting movie, especially the end. What things about it did you want to discuss?
And yes, when I used to IRC (what, 10 years ago now or so?) and I joined the chat quite often; some of the "regulars" did become friends during that time. Unfortunately things became a bit wierd on that board (don't want to really get into the details... but I learned that I can be severely misunderstood on the internet) so since then I've kind of kept a bit of an emotional distance in relation to chats and boards. But the discussion part is still all good!

bryan: i'll take your word for it, but this is quite a ways down the road, isn't it? how long does it take to get 500 posts?
I think some have done it..... before lunch.
bryan mccarthy said...
bryan: so this would be like an initiation ridicule, i guess then?
Um, no. Look at poor TGB, thousands of posts and I still tease him.
I see James Bowman gave "Finding Neverland" two stars (out of two possible) and he almost NEVER gives movies a star or two. I trust his judgment on films and read his reviews in lieu of spending the time and money to go to movies.
His review of "A Walk on the Moon" where he talks about SA was brilliant. I'd read it in a magazine but it wasn't on his website so I e-mailed him and he sent it to me.
I think he might be catholic. Best reviewer around, imho.

I tried to get some footie talk out of you but no, you wouldn't bite.
I watch some of the Premier League, they show quite a few matches here.
I'm pulling for Crystal Palace to avoid regulation. Too late for Arsenal to catch Chelsea.
 CAMRA!!!

bryan: i just wanted to know what peoples' favourite parts were, etc. i liked him bringing the kids in a lot. i was happy when the old rich people started laughing and enjoying it with the kids, becuz of the kids. also, does anybody know to what extent the depiction was true, i.e. how accurate was the movie as far as the whole "based on a true story" thing goes?
i'm glad your "free" and excited about the student teaching being completed.
bryan
Watching that part made me wish I could go to the theater at that moment to go and watch Peter Pan. I found it interesting how he (in the movie... who knows about real life) had to continue living in an imaginary world to actually write the play. Nobody else except the kids could really understand him because they couldn't see the world as he did. But a great part in the movie was when the mother actually went IN to Neverland. (Without trying to get morbid), I hope death for us will be just as painless.... although well... anyways... you hear about all those stories about tunnels and lights and stuff.
Speaking of which, I wonder if anyone here has had a "near death experience"? Now Laika, don't you go grabbing for those peanuts!!!  We don't want anyone to turn blue around here!

Did you? I don't remember that. I guess I wouldn't bit that one anyway, football's really not my thing. | | Back to Top | | |

I haven't had an out of the body experience but a floating to the ceiling of the car experience.
I was driving back home from Chicago, left at 6 in the evening with a six pack of Moutain Dew, it was December 24, driving across southern Minnesota on I-90, snow everywhere and blowing across the freeway, mesmerizing. My fatigue and the Dew combined to make me feel that I was floating up to the ceiling of the car and my arms and legs were really long.
I finally stopped in Albert Lea, took a nap (until the car got cold inside) and then ate a hot meal at a restaurant.
When I got back on the freeway, the sky was clear, the road was empty and the stars shone like another Christmas eve a couple thousand years ago. (I know, I know, Jesus wasn't born on December 25 but don't ruin it for me)

bryan: well they beat liverpool so... Just recently?
I turned on the telly and Arsenal was beating Everton 7 - 0 in the 89th minute, CRAP! I missed it all.
"Here" is my basement. It's the hole in the ground underneath my house.

McCarty, that's like Irish or Scotch. Or Canadian, eh.

| Posted 5/13/2005 9:05 PM (GMT -6) | | | hey, laika.
sorry, don't follow crystal palace. is "the man" andrew johnson? just knew they beat liverpool cuz my buddy is a liverpool fan. i support newcastle and i wanted chelsea to win the champions league.
yeah, you found me. cool, map, bro. i live right there on the corner of the a5 and i suppose the a47, but if that is the right road, we don't call it that.
i don't get the whole communication part of the post. why the all caps and the quote? i'm guessing the quote is designed to mock my englishness, which is what makes this a great time to mention that i'm not english, but american, studying in england. how'd you get into football? i'm guessing you played in school since it's not so popular as a spectator sport in the states.

AtTheWell said...Bryan, I think that's Laika's way of lovingly pointing out to you that you spelled communication wrong in your profile.
Yes'ma'am, you got it right.
Bryan, why are you studying in England?
I got into watching futbol because the NHL is on strike this season and I quit watching American armored rugby and I tape games for a friend's futbol playing daughters and I like real ale.
I like watching the top teams, they have such talent, mostly Arsenal and Manchester United.
I don't watch that much but it's easy to turn on a game for a few minutes.
I only played ice hockey growing up, eh.
At the Well, is that a new login name for an veteran poster here?
