Just kidding, boys. I saw the movie but I also grew up listening to ELO as well as all the other classic rock greats on my local FM radio station. :-p

BTW I'm only 30. Great music knows no age.

This is a dance exercise class, not Zumba. Zumba is a trademarked fitness class with pre-recorded music selected by Zumba Fitness LLC, usually world music, not rock. One can't just put dance moves to any song they like and call it Zumba.

I know this because my sister is a Zumba-certified instruc...

I paired my OG Sprint Pre- right away and used it for calls and text messaging.

Boys, YOU are the primary ingredients in awesome sauce. I can't wait to purchase "El Camino".

Sorry to hear you're unemployed! Sounds like the perfect time to move to California, Paul. The NASA Ames Research Center might be hiring. Check out nasajobs(dot)nasa(dot)gov

@CafecitoConLeche Also, is being "REALLY GAY" like being "REALLY PREGNANT"? I was under the impression that human sexuality, like pregnancy, did not have varying degrees of intensity. If not, can I be a little pregnant? I'd like to experience the miracle of pregnancy without having to actually gi...

Yes, the Billy Crystal impersonation was pretty darn close. The Mandy Patinkin impersonation could use a little work but still a strong effort. I was going to ask how you managed to get your cats to be such compliant performers but then I saw the outtakes.

Given that my name is Bonnie, I fully...

@ReggaeAlive Who is it?

@JpMicheletti Not according to Wikipedia or any other site on the Internet. The site not only doesn't list Tom Waits as Mark Lanegan's father on either artists' entry page, but the site states that Waits was born in 1949 and Lanegan in 1964. This would mean Waits fathered Lanegan at the age of...

Thank you for uploading and for having the foresight to create this as a playlist - love that!

It's sad - I knew Louis had to die in the end because that was the only way she'd ever have peace from him. At least she had the peace of mind that she was able to care for him at the end; regardless...

I just watched "The Way We Live Now" last night which is based on another book by Anthony Trollope and a character in that movie states that in England, an engagement is binding on the man and only the woman may break it. So I wonder how Rev. Gibson can break off his engagement with Camilla Fren...

As regards Adele's paternity: "...unluckily the Varens, six months before had given me ... Adele, who she affirmed was my daughter; and perhaps she may be, though I see no proofs of ... paternity written in her countenance ... Some years after I had broken with the mother, she abandoned her child...

@miniKimmy They most certainly said "Damn it" back then. He also said, "Where the deuce have you been, then?" and other such interesting things that we don't say now. "Bloody hell" is a modern British colloquialism. However, given how drastically this movie deviates from the book's dialogue, you...

@FriendlyPopo Led Zeppelin were themselves accused of writing Satanic music so it's quite amusing to see a band accused of being "Satanic gay fake Zepplin [sic] shit." You're claiming Rush is one of many things Led Zeppelin was thought to be. I don't believe that supports your argument.

@Bluebeezy1123 They don't grow up, they just become bigger boys with bigger toys.

@jrjrloreto Ohhhhhhhhh. My apologies, I misunderstood. I understand the business side of it from TBK's standpoint (sadly, art isn't free) but when I saw it, it struck me as an odd song to have in a diamond ad. (I work in media.) Granted, it's a "romantic" song but it's a more masculine song about...

@1o951o8 I agree about the scary music and cuts - I'd rather have a more simple delivery so it's more shocking when there's something to be truly concerned about. Right now it's building suspense, yes, but I'm expecting something bad to happen. The effect would be more powerful if they lulled me...

@xocolatier I just saw that she wrote the 2007 version of "Jane Eyre" which is, in my opinion, the absolute worst adaptation of that book. I liked her adaptation of "North & South" but I can't criticize her version of "Jane Eyre" enough - it's positively horrid!

@sintochan Watch the 1983 version - it's the most true to the book. I've read the book at least 15 times since I was 9 and that one is my favorite. This version deviated from the original text in so many unnecessary ways that didn't improve upon the story in any discernable way.

@TheGlaros I think it isn't that Timothy Dalton outshines Zelah Clarke per se but that Mr. Rochester is a very strong, vibrant character while Jane is a quiet, unassuming one. The book describes them as such many times. Therefore, I think they each played their characters perfectly.

I was only introduced to a handful of classics as a child so I am voraciously consuming them as an adult. Dickens' work makes me uncomfortable at times, but I recognize their relevance, even today. If you haven't read them yet, I recommend the audiobooks at librivox(dot)com.

@superqueenofthenile Actually, while the book added a lot of depth and detail the movie lacked (as usual), I prefer the movie's ending. The ending in the book wasn't nearly as passionate. I *do* love the book but I find when I read it, I come straight over to YT to watch the movie's ending. That...

@xxAmyyy Yeah! I've been noticing scenes missing throughout! I haven't purchased this DVD yet - which DVD did you purchase? I want to be sure I get the full version.

@potcawe In "Mansfield Park" Fanny is the main character. =)
