3. Hey Maddy, your film instincts are totally excelllent.

A Scandinavian director who really nails the American experience.

5. LOVE that movie.

I have watched it several times because I really love it. One of my favorites. Enjoy.

I have not read the book, didn't know there was a book. That would be a good one to check out. Going to the library tonight for a meeting so I will pick it up.

6. I Met Darlene Cates a Few Weeks Ago

At a conference in Dallas. She's a very nice person.

7. For me, this movie contains some of the most emotion wrenching scenes

I have ever seen in a movie. We have it in our movie library at home, but sometimes, I have to be in the right mood to watch it or it is just too intense for me.

Call me a sissy if you want, but this movie affects me emotionally hard in many parts....if you do not sit there sobbing while the house burns, even if you have seen the movie a zillion times, you are just too detached (no offense meant to anyone who likes being detached)
