Alrighty - I admit it - I am too much of a [nickname for a cat] to watch the election results tommorow night. So, I am going to the movies - I will, perhaps see two in a row so I can get home at midnight or thereafter :eek:

Really? I'm surprised. This is going to be better than any movie, especially when they pan to the Bush Crime Family when the news is announced that Junior is toast. :laugh:

I don't know that I'm going to have the stomach for it either. There's a new episode of Gilmore Girls on tomorrow night which hopefully will distract me for at least an hour.

I will admit I'm thoroughly looking forward to a concession speech from Alan Keyes tomorrow night and will be tuned in for that... his antics completely enthrall me.

I also wish I had the confidence that gldstwmn has. My nerves would be resting easier.

I would looooove to watch Alan Keyes concession speech. Hopefully it will be on CSPAN.
It's not so much a confidence I have, it's in the numbers. As long as we win Ohio, we don't even need to win Florida. :eek: (But we will). I haven't wanted to make too much of it because I was skeptical and I want people to get out and vote. It's imperative. The more people that vote the better chance we have. :)

Me too. But you've gotta believe in the power of positive thinking. There is a VERY real chance things will swing our way.

Regardless, I'm going to take Keith Olbermann's advice and turn tomorrow night into a drinking game. I went to the store tonight and stocked up on beer and Little Debbie cakes. :]

So far, my chug-inducing buzz words will be:

-Swing State
-Tossup
-Voter Intimidation

Can anyone think of any I should add? :rolleyes:

I saw a clip for a new movie about a straight man who's taught the value/meaning of love by a stalker - a MALE stalker. :laugh: Unfortunately, I can't remember the name...

The clip I saw was the straight man on a picnic with a beautiful woman on a lovely hillside. *smooch* Suddenly, a hot air balloon floats into frame and crashes into the ground nearby. The stalker bounces from the basket, jumps up, and runs screaming after the couple. It looked HILARIOUS.

It should be Enduring Love by Roger Michell, I haven't seen it, but it got very good reviews at Venice Film Festival.
By the way, in my Country there are gonna be many positive thinkers today as well, and I'm one of them. Please, not another four years with George W. Pleeeease! :blob2:

We are going to slay them, Kerry will win in a landslide. We will vaporize the scum that is Dimson.

Victory is ours!

PS: I'm with you when it comes to Keyes, that will make for great television. "It was them hedonistic queers." :laugh: :rolleyes:

To answer your question, Jason, go see "Birth." I saw it Saturday night and thought it was fantastic. Great plot and Nicole Kidman was great, per usual!!!

I probably will see it. However, the kissing thing kind of creeps me out. But, the media has not shown it in context, etc.

It is not in bad taste, trust me. It was all very tactful and appropriate.

The whole idea just fascinated me. If someone dies and becomes reincarnated, what happens if they seek you out? What happens when you discover that your loved one was, in fact, reincarnated but they're in the body of a child? It was fascinating and one of the most original movies I've ever seen. I liked Ebert's review, he really nailed it: they've finally made a movie for adults.

I thought it was boring and predictable, with Nicole being Nicole, nothing more nothing less this time, a great Lauren Bacall and a convincing Anne Heche, but it deserved to be watched.

I bought today at the store three pints of Hagan Dazs (sp.?) - I am in it for the count.

Good for you, Jason! I couldn't really believe that you were not going to watch, after all the "spirited" debates between you, Diss and Goldie that have gone on all year.

Yes! "Enduring Love"! That was it. I knew "love" was in the title - but have you ever searched Google for that word? :shocked:

Jason - Haagen Dazs? - blech!!! Sorry, I'm sort of an ice cream elitist, stemming from working at the local Baskin-Robbins all through high school. Give me ice cream that also works as an industrial parts lubricant when it melts -- 29% butter fat content!!! :]

Altho my fave ice cream is B&J's Phish Food. But I haven't checked to see if they still make it since the band went kaput. I couldn't handle the disappointment if it's been retired.

OMG - I worked at a B&R as well - only it was about 1982 :laugh: I LOVE their product. In fact, now that you mention them, when I go for my massage in about 30 min., I may make a pitt stop at the B&R on the way home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :woohoo:

My daughter did the same thing. So, I asked her who she voted for and she told me Bush.... I just stared at her. I said, you know, you voted for the wrong person. I caught all kinds of hell from her. I think it's neat they are teaching them this at such a young age.
