Thanks Z. I've never really been wrong, so that makes sense.

Anyone see One hour Photo? He was great in that film.

Yeah he was good in One Hour Photo. Gary Cole was the Wal-Mart (ish) manager. Garp, Fisher King. The guy was a bona fide star. Too bad.

"Smiles with Nostrils"

"...no Hmong, go find some blacks"

Another one I forgot about. I liked him in that more than Insomnia.

Meh it was ok. Not the best. Similar to the final cut.

Sweater vests + Red's Apple Ale + Mrs. Doubtfire = MATCH




At least in my case, perfectly willing to call bullshit.

My point is you don't "read stories" about people not in the entertainment industry. So you wouldn't know or care. Lots of people are insecure about themselves. Most regular people don't even get diagnosed with depression cuz they don't seek help for a variety of reasons.

So yeah, you hear about the celebrities. I'm just saying it's the same percentage of all people. And it's because of the fact that you hear and read about their problems that is why everybody says they suffer from it at a greater percentage. But that's not true.

he was good in "garp" but that movie should never have been made.

Didn't Irving adapt all of his own novels though? I saw an ad for a band called the Ellen James Society the other day. Best closing line ever: In the World According to Garp, we are all terminal cases.

Damn forgot Fisher King great movie for both him and bridges. How could I forget that?

I liked him a lot in Rain Man and All the President's Men.

not exactly. "garp" was co-adapted by him and a pretty good screenwriter actually, steve tesich (who wrote "breaking away"). it wasn't that it was a bad movie. it was an unnecessary one. the book is all you need.

he also did write the adaptation for "cider house" which actually was a damn good adaptation.

the worst offender was fucking "simon birch". there may have been a decent movie/mini series made from "a prayer for owen meaney" (my personal favorite from irving, and one of the most emotional experiences i ever had reading a book)...but "simon birch" was so ill conceived that conception wasn't even possible.

yeah i think "fisher king" is my favorite performance from williams. it's him at his manic yet charming best. it's actually one of my favorite gilliam films, even though he was a hired gun and not something he concocted himself.

I forget which board member always tells us people that suffer from depression should just choose to stop being depressed? Or something brilliant like that?
Robin Williams should have done that.

Funny, I can still remember the moment I finished Owen Meany 20+ years ago. I was basically empty and spent for days after. Makes me want to re-read it but I see that I lent it to someone and they never returned it. Hate that.

"Smiles with Nostrils"

"...no Hmong, go find some blacks"

yeap...i have two books currently out on loan that i will probably never see again and one of them is a bit hard to find and i got it at powell's in portland so it has a bit of nostalgic value. i can try to get it back but i don't know that i will.

i don't know that i could read "prayer" again because it took so much out of me. kind of like "ordinary people" did...for some reason though i can watch that movie over and over again.

There's certainly bigger puffs around here than those clouds.
