Some of my favorite scenes are: when he takes Cybil to the porn movie because he's so socially inept he doesn't realize that it's inappropriate, of course "Are you talkin' to me?" His scenes with Harvey Keitel and Jodie Foster. He didn't go to jail because he was a hero. He rescued little Ivy from the pimp and scum and no that doesn't really make sense....
Oh yeah. I can get that. I always said that movies are always special to someone cause they can either relate to it during the time of viewing, something was going on with their lives that made the connection. There are also little tiny things in films that you just love about it and sticks with you where as it fly's right by others. Not sure if I'm even making sense here heheh.

Yeah the theatre scene was pretty brutal cause he honestly had no clue how wrong that was heheh.

Personally, I thought he may have wanted to shoot the governor kind of as a way to hurt Cybil who hurt him since he knew that he was important in her life at the time.

That's possible. It may be because of Cybil's character that he was going to shoot the governor, but I've seen the movie a few times and it's still a mystery to me.

Sicko. Michael Moore raises alot of well thought questions, IMO.

Earlier today I watched a documentary by the English actor Stephen Fry, the film is dealing with his battle with manic depression/ bi-polar.. Really insightful, IMO.

Rush Hour 3-- very funny. I used to think that the third sekuel would not be as good as the previous two, but now I change my mind. I even like it more than the other sekuels.

King Kong (2005) was all over HBO this week. Really great, especially the fight scenes between Kong and those dinos.
