While at the hotel yesterday I was reading the newspaper that Steven Spielberg
is going to do a remake of the 1950's movie Harvey.  I love this movie but I don't think anyone can replace Jimmy Stewart.  I wonder how he will introduce modern special effects into the movie.  SO up or down on remakes??

Hey Army,  I like remakes as long as they are good ones.    That didn't help did it?  Oh well. Grin

So do I.  I don't think it really matters when its an obscure movie. but sometimes I think that its such a classic that a remake ruins it. Plus you spend much of the movie comparing it to the old.

I haven't had two uninterrupted hours to sit down and watch a movie since 2002.

I suggest rotating it equal time between the two.  That way one doesn't get jealous of the other, then you have your feet fighting while you try to sleep.  Shocked Grin

My youngest won't start school until next year. I always felt lonely in the older mom club too, but after reading about you, Boo, and Wiener, I don't feel so bad having my first at 32. Most of the women that I know who are my age have teenagers now.

lexi,it's so wild to compare "life lines" : like my mom for instance.back then she was probly 22 when she married my dad back in 1956,had five kids by 1964.
 it's such a different world today. like our generation,who the hell knew anything about life when we were 22.. I mean really..getting married was the last
thing on my mind at that age.I was having too much fun back in the 80's.
