Her character, especially in the ending scenes, is so FRIGHTENED - - for good reasons! I felt terrified along with her because I had come to care about her during the movie.It's a great movie to me and I find Duvall possibly the best part of it.Do you have a movie in your head in which, when the movie is mentioned you immediately think of a cast member? less

It is estimated that from 10-14 million exist currently of which 1.2 million have been documented and 86% not yet described.Really? Where do those numbers come from? How can anyone possibly know what existed billions of years ago or millions of years ago? By what scientific process is that information available? Did they all leave bits and pieces behind in billions of years old ice or captured in rocks that are billions of years old? less

That was so wondrous to me. Being able to "talk" to her so many thousands of miles away at the beginning of my day and the end of hers. It seemed magical! Now of course we have the internet which is even more magical! What's ahead for us? More magic? Any idea what it might be and when we might have it to use? less
What did Clinton in was not the act itself but lying about it. Had he just told the truth and apologized there would have been no impeachment, correct?
Do mosquitoes and ants and flies and roaches et al contribute anything we NEED? I know worms are used for bait or used to be. As these insects and bugs disappear what are we expect next?

But what's to stop Congressmen or Senators or Judges from keeping bottles of the stuff in their offices and taking a drink whenever they wish? Which makes me wonder how many pols are sober during their day at work and how many are potted like plants and their colleagues just live with it?

What was written on their yearbooks, to what clubs they belonged and if they kept calendars? We know a lot about the current proposed candidate. More to come. What other Justice's appointment were fraught with so much scandal excluding Clarence Thomas?

Actually my PVR will remember to do that for me. I was thinking how TV technology has changed since the first season of SNL - if I recall my remote control was bigger then a PC key booed and it had a cable on it that had to hook up to big convert box. TV have come a long way too. Cheers and happy weekend!

Does the FBI fold its tent and go back to its cage/kennel and the trumpicans can take a victory lap and tell how hard they tried? Seriously folks? After we see what happens we'll know if this was just a planned dog&pony show to placate those who WANT THE TRUTH. Won't we? Yep we will.

Will he be so cavalier and contemptuous and condescending and crazy to try that? UNDER OATH? He isn't that smart though he thinks he is.

Why didn't they? Well one can assume they fear what is still buried and yet to be uncovered. "We'll see what happens". Let's wait and not anticipate an exigency that may never be realized or materialize. Shall we?
We know he is biased by his writings on the subject years ago. Put him in the catbird seat and that gives super don all he needs to skate. How perfecter could it be than that?

So for an ENTIRE YEAR the seat was left vacant IN DEFIANCE of the Constitutional right of the president to fill the vacancy. But Graham doesn't seem to think that was a bad thing to do at all at all at all. However he did think having the FBI investigate the allegations again Kav and delay the vote by one week is reprehensible and an evil scheme by Dems to steal the seat. Graham has sincerely and seriously LOST IT! Yesterday he was pit bull YELLING in the Senate with accusations that would curl yer hair and now? What a swell guy!. He doesn't have the decency to be embarrassed by his over-the-top performance nor did he apologize for his outrageous rant. As I said irony we live with daily. Also lies and deceit and screaming and yelling and attacking and pounding and shouting. How fun! :( less
