All right CONFESS who here CHEERED at the end of the book or movie
Edited on Tue Dec-30-03 01:13 AM by Valerie5555
version of NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER. I did for Ms. Mahmoody had the balls READ OVARIAN FORTITUDE to flee Iran with Mahtob.

On edit I cheered at the end of the book version of the "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy when Frodo finally got rid of the ring.

1. I cheered when the bad guy got it at the end of Matewan
even though it was a pacifist who shot him and I was supposed to feel conflicted probably.

3. "LA Confidential" movie
My friends and I applauded and cheered and carried on. My wife hated the movie. We don't agree much on that subject.

4. I cheer every time
I watch "All the President's Men" and Nixon resigns again.

I remember watching his resignation speech and being terrified he was going to do his "I'm not a quitter" riff and stay to the bitter end.

I was working at National Airport that night, and I have NEVER seen that airport so dead for the few minutes of that speech. Everyone was watching it (we had a TV in the break room directly behind the ticket counter) and I'm almost positive flights did not pull away from the gate while he was speaking. It was as if the whole place was holding its breath.

6. Nothing personal, but NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER sucked

The writers of that screenplay dug out every cliche they could think of. Some of the dialogue actually made me cringe.

With films like NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER and AN EYE FOR AN EYE, Sally Field's career has taken a depressing nosedive since she won the Oscar for NORMA RAE. What a shame....
