...and because I just don't have anything else to say right now, I'm reposting the "random things" meme I just did on Facebook. Sorry to those of you who overlap ( Read more... )

Mmm, brownies.

As for Pulp Fiction: not nearly so violent as you might think. I'm seriously troubled by violent movies, and I can watch that one. The ending of Beverly Hills Cop 2 was much more difficult for me to watch. Or any of the Lethal Weapon movies. I know that's supposed to be cartoon violence, but IMX cartoon violence is *worse*. Pulp Fiction gives violence its full moral weight.

I think you're fine not seeing Pulp Fiction. I saw it because I was curious about Tarentino's point of view about things in general after seeing a short film he did (which also had a very gruesome moment), and hearing a variety of comments about Pulp Fiction. But yes, PF is brutal and bloody, even though you are shown why it is that way. (I like your other friend's comment about "full moral weight.") I won't say I'm really glad I saw the film, but at least I came away with the better understanding of Tarentino, and a taste for Samuel L. Jackson! I actually came to appreciate Uma Thurman a little less after that, just for her choice of characters, and didn't bother to see the Kill Bill series even with all the hype.

I'm a grandauntie now, with another coming in July. After my cancer 2 years ago, I no longer have to worry about getting pregnant.

Yep. She was around 10 or 11 then, now she's 28. Her first baby, Vala, was born 12/31/07. I can't remember what year she got married. Somewhere between 2000 & 2004.

Wow! I think I remember you saying several years ago that D. was getting married. And now her own kids... that's cool :-)
