I saw Gone, Girl ...I can't wait to read it! : )<br />I saw Gone, Girl on Sunday night. <br />The kids wanted to see a scary movie and I just couldn't bear it, so I dropped them off and went and sat by myself. <br />It was sort of fun. <br />the movie was crazy. I can't stop thinking about it. <br />I don't know if you would like it because there was a lot of blood.

I now need to put The Lunchbox and the one about the cleaning ladies on my must watch list!

I think part of it is the films are more work, and not just the caption reading. They are deeper, less direct. I am coming to love them, but it's taken a long time. I am going to watch these, Donna, and see if I can become a convert. Tonight Madelaine and a friend are showing me a movie called Wonderful Town, a Thai film. Not excited, but they are, so I will walk forward in their excitement.<br /><br />Thanks for the new list, Donna. Would love to know if anyone else has favorites to recommend.<br /><br />Di<br /><br />DiDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059289426772353330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-69126647600992071872014-10-10T14:37:57.590-05:002014-10-10T14:37:57.590-05:00You are not a weirdo. When I was younger, I did no...You are not a weirdo. When I was younger, I did not like to read captioning. As I have gotten older and my hearing is not what it used to be, I so appreciate closed captioning and we do it for everything we watch now. Enjoy your young ears and if you want to see foreign films when all the kids are out of the house, well you have something to look forward to besides an empty nest. love and prayers, jepAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-58372553107091533852014-10-10T13:17:39.927-05:002014-10-10T13:17:39.927-05:00I'm not sure what it is - probably merely that...I'm not sure what it is - probably merely that i'm a weirdo - but though i was nearly a French minor, and I loved the classes, i have zero interest in foreign films. Am I snobby? Too lazy to read my movies? I'm not sure. But I never even saw the one from India that won all the oscars a few years back -- and I'm sure I'm all the poorer for never seeing these. Maybe it'll come as I get older?

I tried to comment on it, but I am not sure if I did it right. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is a favorite of mine, too. Thanks for some new suggestions. I am off to see if they are on Netflix. love and prayers, jepAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-75825436812478328392014-10-09T15:43:10.317-05:002014-10-09T15:43:10.317-05:00^^Audrey looks like Anne Hathaway in the photo abo...^^Audrey looks like Anne Hathaway in the photo above!
