I watched Monster for the first time last night.
It was.. intense.

Charlize Theron was amazing. Just wow.

3. I had to watch that movie three times (I taped it)...
Intense is an understatement. She was outrageously amazing. And what a disturbing movie... and how brilliant that it made you sympathize with what really turned out to be a "monster." Great, great film.

6. Now you need to see
Nick Broomfield's, Life and Death of a Serial Killer.

It's his second documentary on Aileen Wuornos. You'll understand even better how well Carlize Theron played her part.

13. She was excellent.
I saw the documentaries first and when I saw the movie I sat there in awe of her performance. Wow, just wow!

10. So did I!
Charlize was fantastic but it was quite a depressing flick. The rape scene was short but...almost too much to bear.

15. Well do you want to share the booze?
You know I am in short supply, I am sure she's got some pie too, and hell if we look closely, our pal "Green" will be there too.

25. Here I'll tell you nerds what I got.
I have a bunch of CDs.. some are weird, but most are good.

I have DVDs, but John I don't think you would like the majority of them.. Lord of the Rings and such. I have lots of books too, and shoes, and cloths.

And then my prize possession.. my precious laptop, that has a huge screen. :hi:

26. We have somewhat similiar taste in some music
Yes, you remembered I am anti fantasy, good on you Kate. Books, I like the sound of that :). Shoes? I have big feet for a regular sized guy. I like the laptop. Tell me about your pie and liquor collection though.

17. It's an absoutely compelling performance.
And I'll add my comment to the others...Ms. Theron deserved her Academy Award.
