What did you think of Under the Skin?

[seanc]

I was not expecting much the way everyone talked about it, didn't seem like my kind of thing. I thought it was really interesting though. Visually stunning and I enjoyed people watching with Scarlett. Definitely not as ponderous as people are making it out to be though. 3.5

[Swan]

Glad you liked it. What do you mean by ponderous? I was pondering about it long after it was over. :D

[seanc]

Glad you liked it. What do you mean by ponderous? I was pondering about it long after it was over. :D

Almost everyone I have heard praising it has talked about what a unique look it is into male behavior. I think that is there but it's not really giving us much beyond guys like hot chicks. Plus she is the predator for 2/3 of the movie. Just not a lot to dwell on. Sometimes I feel like when a movie isn't "talky" critics think it has more to say than it actually does.

[seanc]

Saying all that though, this movie may be a visual masterpiece. Stunning on Blu-ray.

[Swan]

I think it is more about body image and self perception than male behavior.

[MovieGal]

Under the Skin was a visually strange film.....

[Swan]

I have to agree to disagree with the agreement of the disagreement of that statement.

[MovieGal]

What????

It was visually strange...

[Swan]

I know. I agree. :D

[seanc]

You didnt like the visuals?

[Daniel M]

Took my laptop apart, gave it a good clean and made sure everything was in place properly. Fan is working again now, making an irritating noise as it had been doing for a few months before it completely stopped, but at least it's working and I can use this laptop again :)

[MovieGal]

You didnt like the visuals?

Yeah I liked it visually or I would not have finished it.

[Godoggo]

Yoplait yogurt sucks! Obviously I like sweets but keep your sugar out of my yogurt. I don't want sugar in regular everyday foods. That means I can have my occasional treats that much more occasionally. Plus it tastes nasty.

[honeykid]

There's always sugar in everyday foods. It's in almost everything.

[Godoggo]

That's why I am brand loyal. I already know what brands don't add sugar or corn syrup and I get those.

I didn't buy the yogurt.

[MovieGal]

There's always sugar in everyday foods. It's in almost everything.

No sugar added and they are very good... however, I will give a warning, first time you bite into them... the flavor will take your breath away... they taste like the real thing but its always the first bite that is the strongest.. my daughter loves them....

Freeze dried pieces of fruit....

[honeykid]

I didn't really mean that stuff, I meant like bread or beans and stuff. It's everywhere. Same with salt.

[Godoggo]

Yeah, you have to read labels and pay a little more to not have that crap in there. There seems to be about one choice you have per item so that you can get ketchup, bread, beans and such without sugar.

[MovieGal]

Godoggo have you tried Dannon's Oikos brand? My daughter likes it the best... she has to be careful of what dairy she eats ... due to lactose intolerance.

[honeykid]

I'm lacrosse intolerant, but it turns out that's not the same thing. :D

[Godoggo]

Godoggo have you tried Dannon's Oikos brand? My daughter likes it the best... she has to be careful of what dairy she eats ... due to lactose intolerance.

There is sugar in that one too. I looked at it at the market today. I eat Fage or Chiobani. Chiobani adds a bit of cane sugar, but it is nowhere near the level of the others and is not listed very high. P

Now that you mention it.. she eats Chiobani too... I dont like yogurt so I dont buy it for myself....

[seanc]

Nobody been chillin lately. What's everyone up to?

[rauldc14]

I was off today while the wife was at work and just watched a few films. Too hot to be outside here. Cooking up some steaks tonight with the wife. What are u guys up to?

[seanc]

Sitting here thinking about what to eat. You goy an extra ribeye? I had to work today but at least I didn't have to sit through 2001.;)

[rauldc14]

2001 was yesterday. It wasn't bad. Not top 100 material but it is visually brilliant.

I'll let ya know if there's extra.

[rauldc14]

Today I watched Five Graves to Cairo, After Hours, some Boy Meets World episodes, and lastly a chunk of War and Peace.

[seanc]

How is War and Peace?

[rauldc14]

How is War and Peace?

So far, it's average. About. five hours to go though, so plenty of time left.

[seanc]

Watching episode of Seinfeld called The Maid. Much of it revolves Elaine, a land line, and a fax machine. Amazing how obsolete these joke are already.

[seanc]

So far, it's average. About. five hours to go though, so plenty of time left.

Wow. Must of been a miniseries?

[rauldc14]

Wow. Must of been a miniseries?

It's marks 7 hour film nomination for the 2014 Movie Tournament. I have to treat it like a show though. I could never do that in one sitting.

[honeykid]

Watching Neighbours. Love Neighbours. After that, I've got to decide whether to try and do a commentary or knock through some tv. I've got Buffy to catch up on, too.

[rauldc14]

Sean, I take it you don't like 2001?

[seanc]

Sean, I take it you don't like 2001?

Way too little going on. Space looked cool but I need some sort of narrative for my three hours. Plus I thought the beginning sequence was not good. I know people rave about it but give me CGI apes any day.

[rauldc14]

It could have been REALLY REALLY GOOD. Unfortunately Kubrick cared too much about his pretty pictures to develop a great story. I still think it was good, but not masterpiece IMO.

[seanc]

Yeah I know Moon is ripping off 2001 in a lot of ways but I would watch Moon everyday before slogging through 2001 again.

[rauldc14]

Haven't seen Moon. But I would rather watch 2001 over Eyes Wide Shut or Dr. Strangelove.

[seanc]

Really like Strangelove. I put 2001 and Eyes Wide Shut on the same level. The fans can keep them.

[rauldc14]

I'm gonna take a step back from epics and watch Ted with the wife.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Those would be better choices than Moon.

[honeykid]

Which makes it different from other Kubrick how, exactly? :D

Yeah I know Moon is ripping off 2001 in a lot of ways but I would watch Moon everyday before slogging through 2001 again.
It took me 5 attempts before I sat through 2001 in one go. I fell asleep one time and that has never happened before or since when watching a film.

Haven't seen Moon. But I would rather watch 2001 over Eyes Wide Shut or Dr. Strangelove.
Really? For some reason I'm starting to become interested in EWS. I honestly have no idea why.
I'm gonna take a step back from epics and watch Ted with the wife.
Ted? Jesus. Oh, I see, with the wife. :yup: On a promise, are we? Say no more, say no more. ;)

[Godoggo]

I signed up for another writing class. This is a creative writing class; the first one I took was focused more on the technical aspects. I'm really excited. The timing is also perfect as I teach a class 8:00 pm Tuesday nights and the class lets out at 700 and is really close to the building where I train. In my secret fantasies I want to be a published writer someday. We all have our dreams, but it's enough now for me to write my silly stories.

I wanted to be a journalist too. That's funny.

I love taking classes. I'll take any class I can get my hands on. I'm always that goof ball that signs up for the hat knitting class or something.

The only thing I am hesitant on is taking an art class. I know it would help a lot, but I don't really want to go through the figure drawing class and the basic skills. I'm not real interested in things looking realistic or correct. I want to find a class that will help me with the things I want help with.

[jiraffejustin]

She will wear her scarlet letter with pride.

Also, she has 11 nipples. Is that normal?

I write scripts. But, I have never taken a creative writing class. I'm not sure exactly how you teach that. Though I can see it as a good way to get feedback.

[Godoggo]

I write scripts. But, I have never taken a creative writing class. I'm not sure exactly how you teach that. Though I can see it as a good way to get feedback.

I took a creative writing class in high school. You do a lot of brainstorming and critiquing each other's work. We would have different exercises that we would do that were a lot of fun. You can't teach it like you would science or math, but you can teach someone how to open up to the creative process. . A lot of being creative is just letting go of those mental blocks we have and learn to see things differently. There are a lot of different things they do in those classes (if they're worth anything) that get the creative juices flowing and get people to go deeper within themselves to find things to write about. I remember we would also do exercises that make the right side of the brain take over.

I imagine there will be a fair share of critiquing style and structure too. I hope it's a really good class.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I took two creative writing classes in high school. We did exercises but I don't remember any "tapping into the right side of your brain" exercises. I was also the editor in chief of the literary magazine and Op/Ed editor of the newspaper.

[Swan]

The "tapping into the right side of the brain" exercises consist of sawing open your skull and tapping the right side of your brain with your finger.

[honeykid]

Yeah, I used to write, too. But that was before medication. :D

[Godoggo]

Right brain exercises are really common and practically every art book I have mentions them. http://www.livestrong.com/article/192141-how-to-improve-your-right-brain/#page=7

Walking a 'troubled' dog in the street without a lead , in fact walking any dog in the street without a lead ...what an idiot. I don't think you should walk any dog on city streets without a lead.
In my road there's this woman who walks her two terriers always without a lead and they'll always yards in front of her. I'm fed up of coming out of my house with my dog (who's pretty unsociable towards strange dogs) to have this woman's dogs suddenly appear from nowhere cos I can't see them in front of the wall. And she's the only sympathising with me for having a dog that barks at hers :rolleyes:

[Godoggo]

I never walk my dogs without a lead (unless it's in the woods near my house where I never have encountered another human being and where I have permission to do so. ) I also make everyone who comes through my training classes and take private lessons from me sign a contract saying that they will never walk their dog without a lead. I don't care how well you think your dogs are trained, there is always something that could make them break and run. It's impossible to train against every possible scenario that could happen and life is unpredictable.

Even way before this happened, Millan was not respected among his peers. I can't believe he was this dumb though. First, he walks a dog known to have aggression towards people in a public area then when the dog bites someone (imagine that) he blames the person for spooking the dog.

Poor dog. I don't know what will happen to it, but Millan just set this dogs rehabilitation back immensely.

He should know better than to have dogs sent to him to have trained anyway. It doesn't work like that. Anyone who has ever had a dog with issues knows that you have to put in the work, not your trainer. You get the knowledge from your trainer and you do the work. A lot of it.

If anything good comes of this, I hope it's that people realize that just because your famous and charming it doesn't mean that your good at what you do.

[Hit Girl]

I go absolutely ballistic with people who walk dogs off lead. We are lucky to have fenced off leash areas in my town and I strongly advise those people to use these if they find it necessary to have their dog off lead.
But to have a trainer that walks any dog off lead in an uncontrolled environment is unbelievable. Milan is an idiot.
Sorry, I'll climb down off my soapbox now. It's just that I'm sick of seeing people doing stupid things and the dogs are the ones that usually have to pay with their lives. :(

[Godoggo]

It's too bad dog trainers aren't licensed. I wonder how is career will fair after this? Probably everyone will forgive him and blame it on the man who got bit. :(

The only place I let mine off the lead is in fields by me where I can see for 360 degrees around me. He only ever goes a few yards away from me but some people have dogs that run towards you from miles away, so I can see them coming and put him back on the lead.

People that say 'my dog would never do this or that' are kidding themselves.

Agreed about the training issues and owners. It's hard work having a dog, some people want them to be perfectly trained but don't realise that it's you that needs the patience and time, not the dog - they have loads of that to spare!

[Godoggo]

The whole reason I got into dog training (besides that I love them) is that I had this dog that was horrible around other dogs. With people she was absolutely lovely, but dogs were a different story. She would see a dog and growl and snarl and practically foam at the mouth. She would also spin around on her harness trying to get to them. It was so embarrassing.

Luckily, I found this great e-mail list that had all these fantastic trainers on it (as well as Bob Bailey if anyone knows who he is) and there was a trainer in my area on the list. The amount of work I had to put into that dog was incredible, but well worth the effort. The first class I took her to we had to stay behind this wooden partition the entire class so that she couldn't see the dogs, but knew they were there. I felt like an exile, but it worked.

Eventually, she got to the point where I could have her around other dogs and even bring other dogs into my home. I had to be very careful about it and all the dogs had rules that they had to follow so as to not trigger her. For example, all the dogs would have to have their own places to eat and sleep. Her reaction to other dogs came from feeling threatened by them so I had to constantly maintain structure so that she didn't feel like the others were out to get what was hers.

You don't learn all that by sending them away to get trained.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I was bit on the leg by my grandparents' new dog recently when I went to visit them. My grandma had one of those enormous, like, birthday cards on her lap, and since she's old and elderly I went over to her and took the giant card so I could move it to a table for her.

Damn dog growled and bit me on the leg, I guess trying to protect her. I had never seen the dog before that day. I am not the only person it's bit, too. It drew blood. I still have the mark where it bit me. I don't even wanna go visit my grandparents anymore because of that beast. I haven't gone back since.

[christine]

.... I don't even wanna go visit my grandparents anymore because of that beast. I haven't gone back since.

Aww that's a bit harsh on your grandparents not seeing their wonderful grandson cos of a dog. Just go and see them and lock the dog in another room!

[R.P. McMurphy]

I'm a noob here and this seemed like the appropriate thread to make my lurking presence known.
A bit about myself (not that you asked):

Top Gun is the greatest film ever created by human hands and there is no argument to the contrary (if there is, I will not hear it)

I have two cats and a poodle (they enjoy Top Gun as well)

Anthony Edwards was, in my opinion, a poor choice for the role of Goose. Kenny Loggins obviously should have been cast in this role, seeing as he wrote the greatest song ever composed (Highway to the Danger Zone) for the greatest film ever crafted, the role should have been his, not to mention he is far more handsome than Edwards and possesses superior acting chops (see music video of aforementioned song to better understand what I'm saying).

I work at a tattoo shop in Reno, NV but it's been pretty lame lately because no one here likes Top Gun and I've been banned from watching it at the shop anymore. I am allowed, however, to play the soundtrack at the shop, which is a fair compromise I feel. It gets me through the day, basically.

That pretty much sums me up as a person, I look forward to getting to know all you lovely people and in the enduring words of David Allen Grier: "It's good to be here."

I think I like Top Gun more than all the movies on RP's top 10 other than JFK. :D

Welcome to the site. :)

And really like the new avatar, Godoggo. I prefer it and, when you go to the tournaments subforum it looks mental. :D

[seanc]

Welcome to the site RP. I love Cuckoo's Nest and Top Gun when I was 13. ;)

[honeykid]

Yeah, then your taste went all to ****. ;)

[Hit Girl]

RP likes No Country for Old Men, nothing wrong with his taste after all!

[R.P. McMurphy]

Welcome to the site RP. I love Cuckoo's Nest and Top Gun when I was 13. ;)

Thank you! This Top 10 business is very difficult for me haha It's a revolving door. Already changed a couple because I tend to forget A LOT

[Sexy Celebrity]

Sexy, I don't like R.P.'s avatar. You should make him a better one. He's also lacking a profile banner.

Maybe... I actually rather like his avatar, though.

Thanks for the welcome! I won't say anything about Interview with the Vampire being in your Top 10...OK, I WILL. :shifty:

[Nostromo87]

Also, "Iceman" was already taken.

don't let em knock Top Gun, RP McMurphy. my older bro loves that movie

http://oi60.tinypic.com/2diot9x.jpg

screw whoever took Iceman from you. they aren't active whoever it is. several of the call signs from Top Gun would make good MoFo titles, Wolfman would be a good one too. you could also do werewolf stuff with it

[MovieGal]

Thank you! This Top 10 business is very difficult for me haha It's a revolving door. Already changed a couple because I tend to forget A LOT

My top 10 contain only foreign films.. if there were more spots.. I would have added English speaking films. Well, Valhalla Rising is English speaking but its a Danish film....

[Miss Vicky]

Maybe... I actually rather like his avatar, though.

It's blurry.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Haha great gif. I was thinking Viper and have Tom Skerritt avatar but I didn't wanna scare everyone off

[R.P. McMurphy]

It's blurry.

Hey...I'm doing my best over here!

[R.P. McMurphy]

Speaking of Danish film (maybe it's Norwegian?), have you seen King of Devil's Island? If not, let it be my first film recommendation as a new member!

Oh god. That's embarrassing. What's wrong with me? It's like I get paid for running games and tournaments or something. :eek:

[Godoggo]

Oh Seanc. Go in the Survivor thread. You won!!! :D

[Swan]

Who is this R.P. guy. I don't know this guy.

[Swan]

I'm still thinking about Boyhood. I want to see it again. Damn it I need my Boyhood fix! Why can't it come to my town!

[MovieGal]

its Norwegian and on my list... Im a fan of the Skarsgård family... Stellan, his sons, Gustaf, Alexander and Bill

Im sure I could recommend many Nordic films to you..that you havent seen

[Nostromo87]

Ahh, I see it is! I gotta start checking people's top films. And any recommendations would be lovely, thank you!

[Swan]

You should only pay attention to my top ten. It's the only one that matters.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Short but sweet.

[Miss Vicky]

Well short anyway.

[Swan]

I need people's help. How do you rate a movie when you had some problems with it and find it definitely flawed, but are like, unbelievably taken by it? Like it's all you can think about? Do you forgive the flaws and give it full marks?

[Swan]

I especially want Mark and Miss Vicky's input.

[MovieGal]

Ahh, I see it is! I gotta start checking people's top films. And any recommendations would be lovely, thank you!

Since you enjoy "Kongen av Bastøy", watch "Tummien perhosten koti" and "Ondskan".... similar films..

[Miss Vicky]

I generally rate movies by my overall enjoyment. If I can't stop thinking about it (in a good way), then that sounds like at least a 4 to me.

[mark f]

Every movie is its own animal but you sound like you're describing what I would probably rate a 2.5 or 3 with the possibility of a 3.5.

[Swan]

Whoa you rate movies you can't stop thinking about only 2.5?

Anyways, thanks guys. I hate rating movies, because of this.

[Swan]

I think a 4.5 is what I'm going to go with... subjectively, I love it like a 5. But objectively, it's more like a 4.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Now I have to know what movie you speak of, Swan

[mark f]

What?

[Swan]

Screw it. I'm giving it full marks. Minor gripes are forgivable.

I hope Boyhood gets all the awards come awards season.

[honeykid]

Look out, he might be packing a butter knife.
I have to admit it's the first thing that sprang to mind. :D Sorry, Swan. :o
You should only pay attention to my top ten. It's the only one that matters.
He's right, but attriubted it to the wrong person. :p

It'll be Boyhood.

I'm watching Maniac Cop. Not seen this in ages.

The only art store in town closed down, so now I have to get my supplies online. Not a huge deal, but I really liked having a store to run to if I needed something. Plus, I just liked picking up the stuff and looking at it. I'm weird like that.

Now I'll have to be very careful about ordering everything I need at one time. Sometimes that's hard to do, because you might have an idea and need something you hadn't thought of. We do have Michael's and JoAnne's arts and crafts stores, but they are heavy on the crafts and don't carry a lot of what I need.

Oh well, I suppose I'll get used to it after awhile.

No, that's normal. :yup:

[Godoggo]

Is it? Good .It seems like everyone I know likes online shopping but not me. At least not for my stuff.

I don't find it convenient and I hate not being able to pick out my pencils for myself.

[honeykid]

Horses for courses, I suppose. Also, it depends on what you're buying. I wouldn't want to buy shoes online, for example, because I'd rather try them on first. However, I'm sure it's a lot easier to do so and, for some/many people, it's worth the hassle of having to send them back if you don't like them for whatever reason. People have been doing the same with catelogues for decades.

Of course, for the companies it's great as it means they save money on rents/wages/electric/etc for shops if they only have ot worry about warehouse space.

[Godoggo]

I actually like buying clothes online because I hate clothes shopping. I know what brand of jeans fit me well and what size so those I don't need to try on. In the summer I wear a lot of sundresses and those should be loose and flowey anyway, so no need to try them on.

I don't buy shoes online. Those do need to fit and I'm not the type to bother with sending them back if they didn't. I would just give them to someone.

Stuff I care about though I like to see and be surrounded by it.

[Miss Vicky]

I've bought shoes online. Amazon.com has a free return policy for any clothing and shoes bought directly from the site. I've bought quite a few garments and shoes from them and it's been a snap when the fit was wrong.

[Swan]

Horses for courses

Today I learned a new phrase.

I watch ''An American Werewolf In London'' and it's awesome !

[honeykid]

You are correct. It's is.

[christine]

Yes it is. That's a part of your film education completed Derek ;)

[Godoggo]

I'm still looking for one villain for Survivor. If you've never played before it's fun. Also a great way to get to know people.

[Derek Vinyard]

*Rewatch* Watching the first 40min of ''Hellraiser'' and it's awesome like the first viewing .

[Godoggo]

that's annoying for you but sad for the shop owner too. There's so many shops closing down here too. My favourite pet shop has closed. I guess people buy their pet food online too now. That shop had so many memories about when my kids were little as we bought our pet rats from them and the kids used to go down and buy pet treats there. :(

[R.P. McMurphy]

We have several people that come into our shop on a weekly basis trying to sell us art supplies that they stole for cheap. There is a little independently owned art store in town and a few times, these people have brought in items ticketed with price tags from this store and I see it as my duty to shame them for stealing from a local business. It's really sad to think someone could be so nonchalant about something like that. It's hard enough for local business to compete with the internet and big box stores as it is, without the additional financial burden of junkies stealing their expensive items to resell for pennies on the dollar.

Wow, I was being pretty self-centered wasn't I? It is a lot worse for the shop owner for sure. As many artists as there are around here, it's a shame they couldn't have stayed open. We have a local chapter of the colored pencil society for crying out loud, and no place to buy them. They sold office supplies too and did copies as well. They always featured a local artist in the back room and had a place for artist to hang flyers and such if they had a show. You can't get that online. :(

I suspect people stole from them quite a bit. When I first started going there they would watch me like a hawk until they got to know me. I saw them do it to other people as well. Such a shame.

[christine]

You're right Go. There's lots of things lost when a specialist shop closes. You most often have an owner with a lot of expertise who can offer advice, there's the ability to handle to goods and meeting like minded people like you say. We had a small local stationery shop that closed down now there's nowhere to pop in and get a photocopy, a drawing pencil, heavyweight staples , decent coloured paper, stuff that supermarkets don't sell . :(

Why aren't you taking your meds? You know that's a really bad thing to do. Of course you're going to feel like that if you just suddenly stop taking them.

Sorry for the lecture, but I worry. I know from experience that's a big no-no.

[Godoggo]

Take it easy Swan. And I agree take the meds.

Sorry for the lecture, but I worry. I know from experience that's a big no-no.

It's a mystery exactly what's going on, but a few months ago I adjusted my medication and started taking a new one, and something made my eyes really dry and blink a lot. It's still going on. I thought it was one meds so I stopped that, but now my psychiatrist tells me it could be any of them. And I'm sick of it, so I'm working on figuring out the culprit. Then, in the process of not taking my meds, I find I prefer life so much more without the side effects. I don't want to go back on them, but I got a lecture by my clinician about how I could go batsh*t crazy again without my meds. Don't want that to happen.

I remember when I worked at the grocery store having to work so many hours during Thanksgiving and Christmas Break. I didn't go home that year, so I volunteered to work as much as they needed me to and boy they gave it to me. At the end of it you do feel like you've gone through something really harrowing. Then right after that it was back to work and school both, so that sucked.

Meds have some bad side-effects sometimes, but to get off of them is a process and you can't just quit without a doctor's supervision. You know all this though.

I was able to get off mine through behavior modification but not everyone can. Just remember whatever you do let your doc know what you're doing because that is not to be played around with.

If you're doc isn't very sympathetic to your side effects is it possible to shop around for another?

[Swan]

I love my psychiatrist. His one flaw was not taking this too seriously, but he was GREAT. He's moving back to Italy though, and I'm moving to Santa Cruz, so my psychiatrist he is no more. :(

I'm probably going to try some different meds though. I would love to live life not taking anti psychotics, but I don't think that's smart. My clinician seemed ridiculously worried when I told her I wasn't taking them. I guess she's seen kids do the same thing and say they feel fine too and then have a really bad episode again.

Did you ever go batsh*t crazy before?

You can tell me in PM or not at all. I was just curious. :)

[jiraffejustin]

Did you ever go batsh*t crazy before?

You can tell me in PM or not at all. I was just curious. :)

Same here. If you are comfortable telling me.

[Swan]

I'd say I was pretty batsh*t crazy when I was having my first psychotic breakdown.

[Swan]

Only had one by the way. :p

[Cobpyth]

I'd say I was pretty batsh*t crazy when I was having my first psychotic breakdown.

I don't really have experiences with that in my life (not from other people either). What exactly happened?

Again, you can just PM me or if you don't feel comfortable telling me, just say so. ;)

[Swan]

I was paranoid of my dad. I thought (it's really hard to explain... I'm doing my best) he was stealing people's essences by spiking out their "essence-powder" and storing their essence in little bubbles around his legs with the intent of taking over the world. I got paranoid of people because I thought they were secretly my dad. It makes me sad now because since then my relationship with my father has grown and I love the dude.

Also, I felt like I was seeing the world the way a frog or insect might at times. I saw symbols that represented like the reproductive process and stuff like that (nothing you'd recognize, they weren't like penises or vaginas, just weird symbols... think like, an alien letter. I can't remember any exactly, but one might have been like a D with lines coming out of it as "connectors" to other symbols.

[Swan]

While I was recovering I thought I could read people's mind and they could read my mind maybe. Like, I would pass by people and sentences would come into my head like they were theirs. I was really paranoid about my dad here too because I thought he was listening to everything I was thinking and I felt like I had to control what I was thinking.

[Cobpyth]

Seems like living in a nightmarish world a little bit then?

[Swan]

I'm better now, fully recovered I think and going back to school. I have no psychotic symptoms anymore.

[jiraffejustin]

Not to make light of that, but it does sound like it would make an interesting movie.

Glad you are doing better now though. :)

[Swan]

Seems like living in a nightmarish world a little bit then?

Just constant fear and paranoia. Yeah, basically. :p

[Swan]

Not to make light of that, but it does sound like it would make an interesting movie.

Glad you are doing better now though. :)

I've always thought the same thing. :laugh:

[Cobpyth]

Have you actually seen films that you thought showed the phenomenon of "psychotic symptoms" realistically?

[Swan]

There are some good ones. Not nearly enough though. I'd have to watch it again now to be able to tell you how accurate it is to reality, but I remember when I was starting to get treatment and stuff, I watched A Beautiful Mind and could relate to what he was going through a lot. But, there were differences too. The character in A Beautiful Mind has paranoid schizophrenia, while I have undifferentiated schizophrenia.

I like Bergman's Through a Glass Darkly, which has a hot schizophrenic babe.

[Cobpyth]

I like Bergman's Through a Glass Darkly, which has a hot schizophrenic babe.

Oh Swan, I forgot to tell you.. . "Man Facing Southeast" is an amazing film... of course its foreign too.... but yeah definitely check it out...

[Swan]

How is Through a Glass Darkly, Swan?

I liked it a lot.

[Godoggo]

Through a Glass Darkly is excellent. What is really realistic is the way the family reacts to her mental illness.

Different mental illness but Melancholia is dead on in it's portrayal of depression. So much so that it caused me some embarrassment to watch it.

[Swan]

Yeah, raul, go watch Through a Glass Darkly ASAP. It's great.

Different mental illness but Melancholia is dead on in it's portrayal of depression. So much so that it caused me some embarrassment to watch it.

I've heard a lot of people say that about Melancholia. I would love for there to be a movie like that about schizophrenia. I think there is a lot of stigma against mental illness and film is a good medium to show what we go through.

If you're doc isn't very sympathetic to your side effects is it possible to shop around for another?

All this. Meds are a pain in the arse sometimes, but you can always mix them up and change from one to another. Off meds, well that only ever leads to one thing.

Because they are developed in the ovaries of the flowers.

I really want to go back to bed. It's going to be a coffee fueled day today. Extra shot of espresso please, Starbucks!!

Starbucks frappucinos are great.

I like Frappes as well but dont do them much. Might as well do a milkshake.

I like them but they don't have as much caffeine as the other drinks. In the summer it's usually an iced caramel macchiato. I love the white chocolate mochas but they pack 560 calories.

Caramel Frapp is a go to for me.

I'm having my Starbucks right now. Also trying to draw tiny hands. I hate drawing tiny hands.

[rauldc14]

I suck at drawing.

I don't see the attraction with all these coffee shops. I once drank a cup if that Starbucks caffeine tar, it dehydrated me so badly I had to drink two pints of water, and my wee looked like motor oil.

I've never been to or had anything from a Starbucks or any other coffee chain. :shrug:

I suck at drawing.

I still kind of do, but I'm a lot better than I was a year ago when I started. I was seriously at stick figure level when I started. I'm getting better slowly and surely. Anyone can learn to draw, it just takes a lot of patience and time especially when you're self taught like I am.

Oh there's no possible way I could learn. I'll stick to my film and sports hobbies. :p
