ZOMG, one of the Fresh Markers just sent me a forward about friends being like butt cheeks, complete with large naked lady butt. Remove head from sphincter, please.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I had some issues with the movie (like the dislocated shoulder in a sling in one scene and full mobility in the next, and don't get me started on Mary Louise Parker)
Heh. The Girl and I, rabid feminist pair that we are, were irritated that Helen Mirren's character was *awesome* right up until the moment that she needs, in the final event, to be rescued by her man. But she was amazing. As were all of the old-school action heroes.

I'm with you Seska, but the number of times she kicked ass and took names almost made up for it. I was thinking about that, and I wonder if I would have thought of it in that way if John Malkovich had been the one to save her. Was the issue that she was saved by her long lost love (who then carried her out) or that she was saved by a man? Given that almost all of the other characters were men, the odds were good.
I actually had another issue with a loose end in the film Who shot Joe? I understand that he was disguised as Frank, but did one of the random FBI swat team shoot him? (in an unprecedented display of interagency communication) or was it some random assassin? I wished that had been made clear.

So sorry for your loss, FredPete and Hubs. Much comfort your way.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, Fred Pete. You guys gave him such a happy and loving home and you can be proud of that.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Vortex, your point is a good one. But we reckoned the film also failed the Bechdel Test. Which, while certainly not the only important thing about representation of women in films, does irritate me when a movie otherwise has fantastic women characters. And I'll get off the feminist soapbox now, really I will.

Fred Pete, I'm so sorry.

So sorry, Fred Pete. My condolences to you and the Hubs.
