Comments for 200 Movies, 1 Woman, 1 Blog http://200movies1woman.com 1 woman watching movies, not sleeping Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:25:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Comment on Chris Brown and the Entertainment Industry by The Spockette http://200movies1woman.com/2012/02/20/chris-brown-and-the-entertainment-industry/#comment-11847 The Spockette Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:25:02 +0000 http://200movies1woman.com/?p=2406#comment-11847 One of the arguments that kills me the most is the camp that constantly justifies Chris Brown's forgiveness because she allegedly hit him & domestic violence goes both ways. While I agree it does, there's just something completely despicable behind Chris Brown's attitude that he should be so easily forgiven (regardless of the fact he almost choked a woman to death). When did it become OK to hit a woman, ever?... When everyone says they enjoy his music regardless of what he's done, I get sick to my stomach.

I’m glad I could help! Once I exhaust the list of what I’d like to watch on Netflix, I’ll probably cancel it for a few months.

I have had it in the past and tend to sign up for a month at this time of year -- for Oscar "homework." In the past it has had documentaries and foreign films unavailable elsewhere. I think your review of the services has pushed me into going for it, thanks! I have been debating about signing up with Netflix again.

I figure it'll pay for itself every month if I watch at least 3 movies, as Apple TV rentals are anywhere between $3.99 and $5.99. I'll be sure to post lots of reviews of the films I watch on Netflix! @Shannon

The selection isn't awesome, but there's still plenty to choose from if you aren't looking for anything specific. Plus, it's super easy to cancel and renew at will - I usually get it when I'm on breaks from school! I'll look forward to seeing your reviews from stuff on the 'Flix. I'll make a list to watch for the next time I renew! I have had Netflix in the past, and if I had more spare time to spend watching it, I would definitely subscribe again.

It's showing here in Portland this month, but we opted to go to Disneyland instead of seeing it. I've seen it two or three times on stage, and love every bit of it. I am so glad you got to see this!

I think it's definitely the best directed of them all. My only issues now are with how some of the revelations made in the film weren't explained as they were in the book. But I recognize that you can't be 100 per cent faithful to the books for time reasons, and because some things just don't translate well to film. And it's also super nitpicky of me, but Harry doing magic at the Dursley house in the beginning always REALLY bothered me, because they're not supposed to do magic outside of school. I've seen it many times and it's a great turning point into the more mature films in the series. @Budo

I like it more than all the other films put together, save for large parts of the penultimate one. It was the perfect storm – director, cast, score, everything came together.

It's an amazing film, but it's just so heart wrenching. I have it on DVD but I haven't been able to watch it in ages. I didn't know he was in Phantom of the Opera! I need to watch that movie again! @Janey
