Movie Review



Recommended Posts

If you haven't seen The Devil Wears Prada and need a good laugh, ante up for the matinee at least and check this one out.

Meryl Streep is an absolute RIOT - much, much better than her last comedy (Prime).

I loved that movie....Mr. Yoda saw it and seemed to like it enough; though I'm sure he wouldn't rank it in his top fave list!

There are a few lines from the movie that he still likes to quote though....cracks us up!

besides...it's good for your DH to see some chick flicks once in a while....it's payback for all those dull stupid movies they like to take us to!! LOL..

but...no, I don't really consider this movie a chick flick.

i dont think it's a guy movie, rather get a few of your girlfriends together, go see it and chat it up over dinner and drinks afterward! even my 74 yr old mom loved it!

I agree...probably not a guy movie - no car chases, no dynamite, no blood/gore, no sex, no nudity, no toilet humor. And it's all about clothes. Definitely not a guy movie.

If you've ever worked for a Nazi, though, this is your kind of movie. I have (worked for a Nazi), only she wasn't nearly as well dressed (or as pithy) as Meryl Streep. You know the Judge Judy show? You know how smug she is....how nasty and over-bearing and how she loves putting people down? Well, my ex-boss was a Gentile Judge Judy - even looked like her.

I guess Mr. Yoda is not the "typical" male then...since he enjoyed the movie. He must be a little more "advanced" than most males!! Not all guys *ducking the things being thrown at me* are mindless voids that only enjoy car chases and shooting scenes!

I enjoyed this movie too. Of course, when we pick movies, my husband usually takes me to chick flicks, while I usually pick action/adventure

We went to see a movie a few weeks ago, DH went to buy tickets (I thought we were seeing Click) and he comes back with the Lake House (we never see "mushy" movies together)......because he thought it would be good. Turns out he loved the movie, I didn't! We did see Click and it was pretty good. My daughter and I were going to go see Prada tomorrow, but it isn't showing so we'll be seeing John Tucker Must Die (my daughter is 15).

Oh, don't get me wrong....tho Mr. Yoda may be more evolved and enlightend than most men (THANK GOD!!) BUT he still loves his X-box games and Spiderman....but then again, that's what makes him him and why I love him so!!!!

If anyone has an odd sense of humor, then I highly recommend "Strangers With Candy". I do not recommend it if you are easily offended...because, well, it could easily offend.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
