I used to love scary movies but now I can't even consider watching them. Guess I've changes i
Woolworth's 5&10, Sat.afternoon at the movies - 2 movies for the price of 1

We actually had some old 8 mm movies...
put on video (some years back) and they must have thought we were a bunch of hicks because to go along with our vintage 1960s era Christmas morning movie, they put the movie to music, of all things, Turkey In The Straw. I actually went on E-bay and bought an old projector that plays 8mm and super 8mm and we watch all the old movies on an old projector. It's fun, but I know they will deteriorate eventually. Nothing more weird than seeing my mother at age 27 (5 yrs before I was born), dragging on a cigarette. She quit when I was 3, so I have no memory of this. Old movies are so much fun.
He has been in a lot of movies and was
voted People Magazines Sexiest Man Alive this year.

 That's a difficult one - probably would include From here to eternity (the original), i'm telling my age! Cape Fear, urban cowboy!
fav movies
1. The Frenchman and the Beautician
2. Top Gun
3. Meet The Fockers

I also loved history of violence, I didn't think I liked that main guy in an old movie, but he was quite good! And I think william hurt played an excellent mean person (is that a compliment??)
I think it's because he's doing too much. Look at how many movies he's made in the last fe
all in a row. Plus, the divorce surely is adding to that. As far as Angelina, don't blame her. If Brad was in love with his wife, he wouldn't have strayed. Plus, it obviously isn't just an "affair." It seems they are developing a relationship. Also, don't forget, Angelina was the victim of a cheating husband and had her heart broken, so she knows that pain. I think Brad and Jennifer spent too much time apart. And he does have a history of falling in love with his co-stars - Gwyneth and Juliette to name two.
Seen any good movies lately?
I liked The Pacifier and National Treasure. We are planning on having an outdoor movie night using a white sheet nailed to the side of the house and a projector to the DVD player on the computer, but I can't think of anything good to rent.
Pay per view movies
Our pay per view channels are the 100's. Your system might be different. Our system is supposed to be connected to a phone line always, but a lot of the time it is not. We can usually still order movies with our remote. My SIL only has a cell phone now, so I do not know how she does it. We select the channel with the movie that we want. Press info. You can arrow up to exit if you do not want to purchase the program, or press menu to purchase the program. Our system is older, so yours may work a little differently. W have learned to be very careful because it is easy to order a movie that you really do not intend to. Sometimes you can go into purchases and cancel. With some things, you cannot. My husband, who is very technically challenged, sat there one night and accidently surfed where he did not belong and accidently rented some kind of special adult presentation. We immediately tried to cancel, but were unable to do so. You can also go online to rent a movie, which is also easy, or you can do so by phone.
when movies were 25 cents and you could...sm
send 10 letters thru the post office on $1.00
geesh - I'm older than dirt.......*LOL*
Drive in Movies sm
I remember as a kid going to the drive-in movies with my mom hiding us in the backseat so as not to have to pay for all of us.
As a kid I remember the amusement truck coming around and we could take a ride on the "whip" for $0.25.
I remember when it was legal to open the fire hydrant and get wet during hot summer days. (Yes, I lived in a "city").
I remember "Happy Days" was the hit show when I was a teen and the boys tried to look and be like the "Fonze".
I also remember as a teen, a bag of Doritos was $0.25.
Can you guess my age?
(Hint - between 37 and 39) LOL.
I love old movies too...
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Barefoot In The Park
Gone With The Wind...I love them all!
Well, I like his movies, so neener.

How do you order movies from Direct TV?
I'm a fairly new subscriber to Direct TV and up until now when we wanted to watch a movie, we would just go to the video store and rent one. I know Direct TV lets you order those movies from them and they put it on your bill and you get to watch the movie when you want to. Do any of you do this and do you find it more convenient/more expensive? Also, do you have to have a phone line to do this? Exactly how does it work? Thank you for the info and feeling a little dumb having to ask!
what are your favorite top 3 movies of all time?
1. A River Runs Through It
2. The Notebook
3. Bladerunner
Some older movies, but good ones...
The Life of David Gale...excellent movie...Kevin Spacey, I think...
Mona Lisa Smile...Julia Roberts...I really liked this one, so did my teenage daughter...
Forrest Gump, of course, one of my all-time favorites...we all know who he is (and the soundtrack is awesome)!!!
Have a lovely weekend...
Movies that are so bad they're good.
I'm gonna check that one out. I love movies like that. Nicholas Cage in Vampire's Kiss - same story, very young, bad movie, but boy did he give it his all. Talk about over acting.
Jack Nicholson movies
He is my favorite actor and starred in two of the funniest movies I ever saw: Goin' South (which he also directed) and The Fortune (with Warren Beatty)--both hard to find but absolutely hilarious!
You want strange movies - check out the
Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn was really a good one. Also, I happened to come across a movie about 3 or 4 years ago that turned out to be one of my favorites - Last of the Dogmen with Tom Berringer and Barbara Hersey - I HIGHLY recommend this movie - It's not a war movie but I don't want to tell you what it's about because it would ruin the surprise.
Typing Captions for TV&Movies
Does anyone here type captions? I want to know more about this, as I was watching TV w the captions on and wondering who types the words. I wonder if you just get to watch TV and type what you hear all day long...that would be so sweet.
totally agree on Heston movies....nm

Top 100 inspiring movies on tonight, CBS, 8-11pm. nm

I was watching one of the Freddy movies where the girl was pregnant.
Anyway, I slept in the basement and my parents slept upstairs. It was about midnight when I was watching this Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Our dogs were in the kennel next to my bedroom and started whining. I heard something thump in the ceiling of my bedroom, so I hightailed it upstairs to sleep on the couch. The next morning, we saw what looked like a coiled up snake inside the fluorescent light fixture in my bedroom. It was a studded dog collar and a rusty butcher knife inside the fixture. How it got there, we don't know but it wasn't there before I watched the movie. We can only guess that someone or something was after me that night. I stopped watching scary movies for about 15 years after that. Now, to see snippets of the Nightmare movies, they're so lame and fake.
Watch the original, its funny too- one of my favorite movies - sm
George Segal and Jane Fonda-- curious about the remake.
Same theme, but CBS on Wed. is to review the top 100 inspirational movies. Should be good! nm

How could you forget Tom Hanks?? I've loved all of his movies
x
Yeah! We would go to the movies for 75c - triple feature horror flicks -
Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. Of course, we were too busy 'making out' to watch the movies! That is, until the usher came by a shined the flashlight on us!
scary
It is scary to think how narrowed minded people can be. Plantation mentality is alive and well in the South....So help us all....
Scary
Your last 2 paragraphs made absolute sense. I always thought, even back "in the day," that dictation to transcription was archaic.
However, I fit into the "over-educated but don't know how to get in out of the rain MT" category, so scary thought because if you thought of it, someone else should as well... and I do need to keep doing this at least until one of my kids strikes it rich!
Good post.
Now that is scary!
That is really scary to me No wonder that sm
these gals hire on places, begin to work and then can't get their pay.
That is scary...

How scary to have a dog like that...
as your neighbor. If you have children, PLEASE keep close tabs on them...I just heard on the news a few weeks ago about a pit bull (I think...) snatching a baby out of her mother's arms and malling her head badly. The baby survived, thankfully, but was very badly hurt. I agree with you, these dogs are inherently vicious, and no, it's not the dog's fault at all...it's the human's fault for training and breeding for fighting...how very sad for the OP..I am sorry...
What's scary is...
they are treating people. How does the patient understand what he is saying (if they deem to say anything). I know when I see one of these doctors I have a hard time when I'm not ill. My husband is hard of hearing but can understand if clearly spoken to and he understands nothing and refused to go back to a GP we had.
I'm sorry, but its really scary to me that anyone
let alone a spouse, could just go back to sleep and post on a MESSAGE BOARD the next day, asking about a SWOLLEN HARD TONGUE!! You have got to be kidding me. And I presume you're an MT as well??? What is WRONG with you?? Goodness, the blunders never cease to amaze me. GO TO THE HOSPITAL. And don't wait til it happens AGAIN - get him to the hospital NOW to have it checked out, diagnosed, and have yourselves armed with epi-pens, etc. A BENADRYL??? That's just insane.
Very scary
Makes me paranoid about every "normal" person I meet. I hate being that way, but when it comes to my kids I am happy to be labeled *over protective*
this is really scary -
Okay, is there any chance that anything in our medical records is going to be correct, either done overseas, dictated by someone who has little grip of the language, perhaps transcribed by someone with even less of a grip, maybe corrected, but in the money crunching, I doubt that, probably never read by the physician and now you are telling me that the doc himself is typing this info directly. I frankly cannot imagine this. I cannot imagine they would want to type it. They can't keep on track half the time just reading.
That's scary sm
I'm sure it happens - as Patti says - but personally I would have a very hard time putting something like that on a report I typed. It is the doctor's responsibility to review the report. If he/she chooses not to do that, that is also his/her responsibility. But if I type it on the report, that means I am aware that the doctor is not reviewing it, and I would be concerned that I could be drawn into a lawsuit if there was ever a problem with a report.
It's quite possible that would never happen, but it's also possible that Patti has just been lucky...............
Something Scary!
Let me tell you something very scary that happened to me! I posted a comment in support of one of the companies on the Jobs Board and the CEO wrote me back an e-mail to my personal e-mail address thanking me for my comments. I was shocked as heck! I thought our identities were protected here. Guess again. They tracked me down to my personal e-mail address. Be very, very cautious of anything yo post here.
Now that's scary
I just envision a scenario where a doctor dictates a dose wrong, we type it wrong, QA doesn't change it for this reason, newbie nurse reads it and gives it to the patient. Dennis Quaid's kids got the wrong dose. Kid here in Central Florida recently got wrong dose because pharmacist typed it wrong. But as MTs we aren't liable? Very scary.
SCARY
Wow that med thing is scary to hear about. I thought it was bad enough when my FORMER PCP tried to tell me hypertriglyceridemia was from eating too much animal protein. That was so dumb it was funny but med errors aren't.
A Walgreen's here is in trouble because they wrote a script for a 3-month-old, premature twin for cough medicine and typed 1/4 teaspoonful instead of 1/4 mL. Granted not a doctor but it was in the news recently and the kid could have died if the pharmacy didn't catch it and call the parents prior to the second dose being given. What is it medical mistakes are the 4th leading cause of death in America?
No kidding...that's just scary nm
Pretty scary. Do you actually think you
are Frank?
Danged scary if you ask me!!!!!!!
 (gramps at 100 target practicing)
pretty scary
I know that this does happen. I just try not to think about it. It's amazing how many physician's and other big tim professionals are functioning alcoholics and drug addicts. Even more sad is the fact that other hospital staff know that these people are enebriated and don't dare say anything to anyone about it.
is it scary though? or just gross?
x
new people are scary
I have an orientation this Saturday with an animal shelter, i'm debating whether or not to show. My main thing is the distance, afraid my car won't make it. I can't wait to see some new faces though. Make the call, you'll be glad. They're all good people if they are volunteering their time.
Man, I can't tell if this is scary, or laughable.
Are you really that uninformed? That IS scary. nm
