What is Four Lions? Never heard of it. Whenever I think I know about all his past projects, I keep hearing about all these movies and TV shows he's done that I never heard of before.

Love that film, it's on DVD.

It's a comedy about some young Arabian men who want to become terrorists but are not very successful. Benedict has a very small part as a police negotiator.

Based on a true story, case recently in court.
Hilarious film.

I doubt I'd find the subject matter very funny. We Americans have lost any sense of humor we ever had (did we ever have any? I don't know) about Islamic terrorism, I'm afraid. And living in the Boston area, after what just happened there in April, well... not so much. I'll take a pass.

Well we've had Islamist terrorist outrages here too, but I understand your position.

9/11 changed us as a people forever, in both good ways and bad ways. To lose over 3000 civilians in one day, the first attack by foreigners on our own soil since Pearl Harbor, well.. it was a shock, and none of us has been unaffected since. We're scared and angry, and feeling kinda guilty about still being both, but that's the truth of it. Sorry, ignore me. I won't persist with this line of stuff on such a feel-good thread! Back to our regularly scheduled programming, lol.

No apology necessary to me. I feel angry too.
But you are right, this is not the time nor the place.
Back to this happy place!

Actually, I have to disagree, ancientgate. They are all idiots to be laughed at. They have never stopped me from doing anything I've ever wanted to do: that's how we defeat terrorism--don't let them win! (And I'm an Army brat, too :D) {Please don't take that as an insult!}

Also--two words: Jeff Dunham.

And yes, please ladies keep the wonderful pictures coming :D

After much thought I'm going to share this one again:

I've renamed it "muse!"

Lost for words. There are so many beautiful scenes in this film.

I have the same blanket on my couch!

Oh wow. I'm sure I've asked before, then. But can you remind me what it's from?

besleybean · July 11, 2013 6:12 pm

Third Star.

crazybbcamerican · July 11, 2013 8:01 pm

Thank you :D I think I'm going to have that tattoed on my arm somewhere

Mary Me · July 11, 2013 8:42 pm

Awww Haven't watched Third Star yet. It's nowhere on YouTube and buying it would take the money which I don't have at the moment. But one day I will watch it. I've been told I would need to watch Reichenbach Fall after it to cheer myself up again. Looking forward to it.

besleybean · July 11, 2013 8:57 pm

Obviously a sad subject, but I found it a very uplifting film.

SusiGo · July 11, 2013 9:09 pm

Curls, anyone?

THOSE are the perfect "unperfect" pics.

besleybean · July 11, 2013 9:14 pm

The pix from Top Gear are fab.
