    "Passion" by Mel Gibson

    I can only repeat. I am not going to see it. I do not need to see this kind of thing. How about a fifth option on the poll? "I haven't seen it, and I am not going to." Hobitten

    I don't know if you are aware of it (probably you are, being book lovers and all). But next year a huge cultural event will take place in Denmark: The celebration of Hans Christian Andersens (would be) 200 years birthday. :) The purpose of the celebrations is to make sure, that as many people...

    Almost. The right way would be: Jeg elsker Lars von Triers version af filmen. (that was a very good try, by the way) :) On a different note, I am with you on the Stephen King - thing. Why is it, that americans insist on making remakes of foreing films - in stead of just showing the...

    I went to see Return of the King, yesterday, I must admit. I had to. My friend had not seen it, and she didn't want to see it without me. So I had to make the sacrifice. :rolleyes: (Pssst. Hobitten whispering: It was the fourth time I saw in the cinema). Do you think, I need help...

    I know what you mean. Whenever (and that doesn't happen often, because I hate it...) I go out to buy clothes. I often end up with a book or two in stead. :o It seems so much easier. You don't have to try it on, for one - and you don't have to look at yourself in the mirror in that...
