I can't see why that would matter.

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yesterday and it was great!! I loved Johnny Depp. I think he's pretty much the same character in Fear and Loathing in las Vegas, Pirates of the Carribean and this movie, just different time and place.... just that pause before he reacts and/or says anything.... like he's always in his own magical little world, (world of infinate drugs, treasure or candy, depending on the movie)

I loved all the dancing, too. It reminded me of synchronized skating. And the chocolate waterfall!? Like the chocolate fountain that Galya and I found in Toronto. It was at a going away party for this priest who we didn't know.. but it was in the same building we were staying in.. and Lena and Paul (who lived in the building) assured us that nobody could tell we weren't catholic (although I thought we stood out... my constant cursing and Galya and her Orthodox accent.., but whatever..), and we could stand by the fountain all night in awe. Chocolate is the best supper ever.

I didn't look at my watch once throughout, which is very strange for me. Normally I don't have enough patience to sit in the same spot for 2 hrs.. Plus I had a free pass to get in, so really, it was perfect.

Somebody has been reassuring me lately that I'm seriously flawed, because I've never once done the following things:
- watched/read Harry Potter..
- watched any of the Star Wars movies.. apparantly there's like 6?
- watched pornography of any kind.

He claims the problems stemming from my inadequate cultural experiences include not getting all the related jokes. "Amy, you're missing out!" Well, it's true, I am missing out. I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but we're all missing out on something.....what are you missing out on, huh???

Harry Potter is good, but you're not missing out on a lot if you don't watch/read it.

You are missing nothing by skipping out on Star Wars.

I had someone tell me that I too was missing out on a lot by not watching porn. I watched some with him, and then wished that I hadn't. Cause it is gross.

I'm missing out on feeling healthy and good about myself because I can't motivate myself to become more active, no matter how much I know that I need it.

I don't think you're missing out on anything. I've never read Harry Potter, but I found the movies dreadfully boring. I'd say porn is even more boring, if that's at all possible. As far as Star Wars goes, I'd recommend that if you're ever tempted, watch the old ones (three of them) and appreciate them for the incredible technology they portray considering they were made in the late 70s and early 80s, if for no other reason.
