I haven't seen a first-run in the theater since Walk the Line, but I rented a couple of good movies over the weekend:

Syriana -- Very thought-provoking thriller, although style d a little too much like Traffic to be considered truly original. Great acting, George Clooney won an Oscar and there is an intense torture scene that landed him in the hospital in real life with fractured vertebrae. Perfect for those of us that loathe big oil and shady politicians.

Match Point -- Moral fable that starts out as the quintissential chick flick, but soon becomes dark and brooding. Besides providing the opportunity to drool over Scarlett Johansson for two hours, it's the only Woody Allen film I've seen that isn't a large pile of self-serving dung. Probably because he stayed behind the camera where he belongs. Excellent acting as well, there are also a few hunks for the ladies.

Anyone have other suggestions?

Hey Cooks

I am not a real movie buff so I am not much help. Any particular genre of film you are interested in? Perhaps that will help.

any genre really, my interests run the gamut. But I try to stay out of the hard-core porn section of the video store 😉

I haven't seen a movie in the theaters lately and I know there are quite a few rentals that I need to catch up on. Any classic date movies? You know, just in case...

And you're trying to paint Leo males as sluts...

Sounds like the pot might be calling the kettle black 😉

Watch it! I am in the heights of sex-chemical-bond withdrawal! I might get ya!

lmfao

sigh ... you know I use to think girls getting hooked on oxytocin was a myth ... perhaps I just haven't had the good stuff in a long time.

Ladies

Please for your own safety don't jump from virgos to leos. Your mental health may be at stake.

I really liked the movie Zelary (Czech) and Atanarjuat: the Fast Runner (Inuit) movies.

But as I said sub-titles ... hard to make out too.

subtitles are fine, I don't mind reading if it's an interesting movie

Have you ever seen City of God? Excellent Brazilian film, Portugese with subtitles...

My favorite movie in the whole world is What Dreams May come. If you plan on watching it you need to bring your tissues.

Yes, SoftCookie you too.

Heeey little sparrow,

How goes things with the lion?

...Oh sure now you tell me! lol! No wonder my little goose is cooked....

lol Did you ever run charts on either one of them?

I sincerely don't know. lol!

Basically, he cancelled our date Thursday and said he would call when he got out of the meeting that was preventing him from meeting up with me. He didn't call. He called Friday night and left a nothing message on my machine saying have a good weekend and hopefully we would meet up at some point and/or talk but hasn't called since.

I was pretty hurt that he cancelled again. I think he is looking for excuses not to see me. I have seen him ONCE this past month. ONCE. He didn't even say I really want to see you and make it up to you or when we will see each other again .... or even that he wants to see me again. So I haven't responded.

I am big into my boy-detox.

I did do charts on both of them. Both have only one square. (Although I am really done with the Virgo at this point.)

My chart with leos is all about sex and passion. Sextile Moon - Mars need I say more. 😉

My chart with virgo is all about partnership and devotion.

That's just rude.

Maybe it's time to make him miss you? I know you said he has a lot going on right now, that's understandable. But it's just rude to say you're going to call and then don't. Now you know. Don't expect that he really will next time he says that.

...Sextile Moon - Mars need I say more...

Good aspect. My scorps mars in cunjunct my moon 🙂

..I think he is freaked out that he said he loved me...

When did this happen? Was this the last time you saw him?

I don't mind canceling once and awhile ... but it has happened several times already.

IT happened Monday night on the phone. I know he didn't mean it ... it was just a reflex but still ... don't freak out about it. And have some integirity. Do what you say you are going to do.

exactly. So do you know what you are going to do now? Are going to stick around awhile longer or are you already fed up?

I don't get how someone can just spurt out "I love you" and not mean it. 😢
