You see, I got her the German translation of the novelization a few years back (both volumes), and at the time she didn't show much interest - probably it was just too early. What I didn't know was that she now had read them, had read in a magazine that the DVD set had come out, and was looking forward to it :-) My sister and she watched the pilot today. When we had dinner together my sister wanted to know why *I* watch "girls series" like that ... sigh. I guess that MSCL and such speak to females more than to males, but is it really so weird for a guy to enjoy them as well? >> BTW 2: I don't think I've ever seen Claire Danes in anything else, even >> though I adore her in MSCL. > > i've seen her in a fair number of things, but now that i'm thinking > about it, they tend to be movies in the category of "movies i see with > female friends". Yeah, well, see above ;-) > off the top of my head: "home for the holidays" Wow, she was in that? I used to be a huge Jodie Foster fan and of course I've seen it, but only once, when it came out. > other regular movies were > "u-turn" She was in U-Turn?? My God, seems as though I can basically forget about all movies that I haven't seen for 10 years or more - I don't remember them anyway. I remember J-Lo, but that's about it. > and "igby goes down" (side note: "igby goes down" was one of > those movies that seemed most people liked, and i couldn't figure out > why.)

Seriously? I really would've thought that a lot of girls could relate to Angela! And guys to Ricky, if they're sexually ambiguous.

(well, it goes without saying that *my* taste is ass, but, you know what i mean...) huhn, i guess that *both* of our tastes could be ass, mutually-exclusively. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2007 05:34:23 -0800 (PST) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: REAP Benazir Bhutto assassinated by a car bomb....I'm sure ol' Pervy Musharraf is just heart-broken.
