Chris Marquette Message Board

Just watched 127 Hours again yesterday.  Still makes me nervous to watch it!  What a well done movie, holds up well upon second viewing.  What a great role for Amber too, hope to see her in more movies like this one!

Good info deb.  I grew up with a border collie and I remember the same thing about her Cappyu Girl.   She did eventually calm down.  I worry about that getting a dog, being away for so long. but my co-worker has a collie and she seems pretty house broken and laid back about it.  I've thought about a King Charles Spaniel, but they are very expensive!

The climate here changed from fall winter to spring in a week! lol.  It was 72 and shiny today after snowing sunday night!

Thanks Deb, but it didn't happen   At least we have presidents day off, just have to get through 4 more days!

awesome.  keeping fingers crossed it makes it online to see

I feel the same way Deb... I definitely got suckered into Alcatraz quickly.  The music and flashbacks remind me a lot of Lost, even the character 'Jack'.  I'll definitely stay tuned into it.

I have to admit, the new Chelsea Handler comedy is pretty funny too -- although Laura Prepon's performance of chelsea is little too dry for me compared to the rest of the cast.

watching the Kate Winslet version of Mildred Pierce - mini series.  Truly excellent.  So glad I rented it this weekend.  Was always a fan of tJoan Crawford movie.

Have to say a little disappointed in the academy awards this year.... don't know if I'll be watching...

The Oscars will be televised on ABC on Sunday, Feb. 26.

Move to Texas, it was 75 all week practically!  people were sunning by the pool yesterday.

My sister and her boyfriend got me the Lord of the Rings collection on blu ray - it's pretty awesome!  Out of all the blu ray dvd's I've seen - its the only one where I've been able to see a big picture difference.

Between upper 50s and low 70s for the next 10 days.  I'd like at least one day of snow this year!
