Rent (2005)

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: This film adaptation of Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning rock opera tells the story of one year in the life of a group of bohemians struggling in modern day East Village New York. The story centers around Mark (Anthony Rapp) and Roger (Adam Pascal), two roommates. While a former tragedy has made Roger numb to life, Mark tries to capture it through his attempts to make a film. In the year that follows, the group deals with love, loss, AIDS, and modern day life in one truly powerful story. Rosario Dawson, Jesse L. Martin, Idina Menzel, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Tracie Thoms, and Taye Diggs also star.

Landlord is your client who wants to sue minor tenants. Can he do that? What do you tell your client?
Hey guys,

I’ve got this question for my class and having really hard time figuring out how to answer it. Any help I can get I will greatly appreciate it!

A potential client, a landlord, wants you to sue some tenants who have refused to pay rent. The tenants were a sixteen-year-old and a seventeen-year-old whose parents had thrown them out of the house and refused to provide them with room and board. The landlord entered into a lease with them so they would have a place to live and they now owe him $3,000 in back rent. He wants to sue for breach of contract. The teenagers have claimed that they cannot be held liable because they are minors. What do you tell your potential client?

I’ve tried to search for legislation that covers the liability of minor tenants to landlords to see if they at all can be held liable, searched for statutes that may cover any minor tenants vs landlord situations/cases but haven’t had any success so far. The fact that the actual question asks: What do you tell your potential client? sort of leaves the answer open-ended which makes it a bit more complicated.

Thank you for any help and any answers anyone can offer.
Thank you!!!!

Vanilla Sky has the same kind of mind-boggling quality as Eternal Sunshine… the first time you see it.
American Beauty is pretty good too.

I’ve never seen Crazy/Beautiful so I don’t know what comparison to base a recommendation on.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941)

IMDB rating: 6.60

Plot: Sophisticated New York couple David and Annie Smith have an unusual marriage with an inordinate number of rules and regulations. One rule entitles them to ask each other one question per month which the other must answer completely honestly. Annie asks David if he would marry her again if he could have the time over again and David confides that he misses his freedom and so probably wouldn’t. Later that day, an official from the town where they got married calls to see David. He explains that owing to a state boundary dispute, all couples married between 1936 and 1939 in the county were not legally married. David decides to have fun with this fact, but unbeknown to him, the county official calls to see Annie too and disaster results.

Haiti (and the squealing of Western media); are you enlightened, or embarrassed?
‘Security issues’, ‘unrest’, ‘violence’ (not forgetting the fetish about ‘looting’)…and other lurid reports which seems to have grabbed many of us by our wee tails and spun us around almost in a gawping orgasm. Just got an email from relatives (on my late wife’s side) from Jamaica, and the eldest of them tell me the starving and wounded were being patronised, humiliated, and treated like children - right in the front of cameras…with morons like the BBC Matt Frei watching to see what happens while spewing propaganda of his own to fit in with his particular plan.
Mother Nature treats certain parts of the world like bullied weans…and then along comes the US/UK (especially) media to tell Mr and Mrs Smith in Newmarket, Newtownards or anywhere else in the western world when we’re shown damaged countries and cities - especially with people with different colours therein, the Freis - and other populist tosspots who spent their time sharpening their skills at Oxbridge treat it like a drunken night out on the town. Most of those who suffered have not had food or liquid for days - and have gradually learnt some of their families are dead…and all we are eager to do is to roll out cliches to get readers oohing and aahing on the way to work on the tube…as we learn ‘violent murderous criminals’ have broke out of their damaged jail to reek havoc in the country.
Nice one, Guru…was just pee’d off with the attitude that suggested Haiti was a country with more ‘crims’ (well…the stereotypical sort we in the western world will always be told about) than ‘John Does’ - before breathlessly telling us the main jail had collapsed…a sexy story, but there were more serious concerns throughout the whole country. It was being hinted that the self important bickering between aid workers were resulting in the worst who had suffered being fed under the barrel of a gun


Arthur - Matt Frei is nowt compared to what I heard the other day on Radio 4.

The reporter was with an elderly Haitian couple residing in London. We were informed that they had heard no news from their relatives since the earthquake. We were then subjected to this faux situation where the reporter says "Mrs (cant’ remember) is now telephoning her cousin in New york to see if she has been able to make contact".

Cue the most strangled and self conscious conversation between two women that had obviously been practised a million times. Oh God it was wince inducing. Then came the ‘money moment’ We were informed their grandson had a mobile phone, and he used to ring them everyday. So guess what? The reporter helpfully suggests ’shall we give his number a try’ we had to listen to about 10 rings on mobile till the reporter says in sotto voce " shall..we…hang up…?" I was agog. Cuts back to the studio and John Simpson who says "Mr and Mrs. ( still forgotten) still ….. haven’t ….heard… …any. ..news….from …their…grandson" *10 second pause*

Haiti was in a desperate state before the bloody earthquake, life expectancy and crime were jaw droppingly appalling. Who gave a shit then? Where were the reporters in their regulation open neck blue shirts? They report it now in grotesque and demeaning fashion and the victims like actors in a disaster movie. No dignity or integrity whatsoever.

that’s a very though provoking statement but don’t the average joe public see past the reports and see the real plight of these people and that’s why we respond to it
whyme | Jan 21, 2010


There is a reason why 10,000 US marines are needed to sort out the aid in Haiti. There is a reason why it cannot be left to a bunch of kids doing environmentally and socially useful gap year projects with mother nature.

There is a reason why troops and ammunition need to be transported to Haiti along with the aid packages, and why those things are in fact an essential part of the aid package, no matter what it suits French politicians to pretend to the world.

The reason is that Haiti has been the classic example of a Tropical Hell Hole for as long as it has existed, and is now a much worse one. There are thousands of armed and organised criminals running amok, and complaining about journalists being well educated and still having the effrontery to do their jobs (or ‘watching to see what happens’) is pointless.
Guru Hank | Jan 21, 2010


Well, what did you expect? Any catastrophe is fair game for the news media and the huge egos involved. Anchors are sent so they can say they were real reporters bringing us the story. I wonder where and what they had for dinner last night in Haiti. There are fights over distribution and jurisdiction rather than concentrating on the job of getting supplies and care to those that need it. I would venture to say we got aid to Haiti quicker than we did to New Orleans after the hurricane. What is the solution? I don’t know. And unfortunately the bad side will come out in disaster, such as the looting.
The failings of the government, the politicians, the economic condition of the country involved are all fodder for the media. The question remains: What happens when everyone has left the country. Same question we will be asking in Iraq, Afghanistan. What support services will remain, will contractors be fair where there is money to be made? Your guess is as good as mine.

Am I Depressed Or Am I Just Losing My Mind Or What?
I have had bad dreams a lot, as well as fatigue, and a change in behavior. This has been a prolonged thing. I have not lost sense of self-worth but have done just the opposite- lost sense of people’s worth. I have started to see most people as tools of some kind. I have also been hit with many creative blasts, none like I have ever seen before. I fear Winter’s end for some reason, the idea of Spring makes me frightened slightly, like it feels like Winter will never come back or that I will experience another terrible Summer like the ones I have been experiencing these past few years, so I want it to remain Winter forever. Weird, huh? But that’s not the end. I have started to see things as if it all belongs to me in some way, and people as if they are, well to tell you the truth, food/prey/quarry in some fashion, and other people as followers/servants/disciples in some way, and although I know better than to ever touch anyone, I have started to see most women my age as girlfriends and f-buddies somehow. Weird huh? Well anyways help me out here.


Go talk to a psychiatrist,it might sound ridiculous now but without doing so you’ll either remain in the same state or get worse and if you get worse then it’s the mental hospital for you.
I must ask however why you are asking for our advice when you have a reduced view of other people,wouldnt that make you dismiss our claims?

How many happily married people slept with their spouses before marriage? How soon after meeting?
being single I have read some advice books or books telling me why I am a single female in my 30’s. Advice ranges from stay in shape, keep my hair long (as it represents youth), be completely honest, and don’t sleep with him until marriage. HOWEVER, several of my married friends did not do these things and were able to secure husbands. funny how the books tell you what’s wrong with you when you’re single but when you marry you are automatically without "issues." Just curious as to the not sleeping with someone advice because 90% of my married friends slept with their now spouses before the "big day." Some within less than a week of meeting that person!


It is time for you to adjust two things: 1. stop reading books with bad advice 2. stop worrying about the age you are when you marry. I did not marry until 35

LOL! I slept with my husband on like the second week and were on the verge of a divorce. I dont know if that has anything to do with it. we have been together for 5 years and married for 3 and a half.
Sarah | Jan 30, 2010


Everyone has different views on this subject. I made my husband wait a month, he jokingly told me a few years ago, I almost got dumped, b/c I would not put out. Truthfully, I know of no one who waited until their wedding night. I guess we all are a bunch of sinner’s! LOL!!
askme | Jan 30, 2010


Well, the reason they say to not sleep with him is that you would only physically connected. You need to be emotionally connected before you take this big step. Now for some people it is okay to just skip to that, and then get to know each other. First before you take that risk you need to make sure the man and woman are ready for commitment. Not just a sexual relationship!
bananna.hunt | Jan 30, 2010


I am completely happy in my marriage and we slept together from the get-go. I can see where it could have been a problem, but luckily we have always kept an open line of communication and have been willing to compromise on a lot.
Severin | Jan 30, 2010


There can be no statistics for this. But what can be guessed is that such cases would be few and far between.
Nehru | Jan 30, 2010


"stay in shape, keep my hair long (as it represents youth), be completely honest, and don’t sleep with him until marriage"

Those all sound like nice ideas, idealistic. But everyone is different. Lots of people get married. Lots of people don’t. Lots of different factors are involved. For the most part, I tend to believe in the "law of attraction" in that what you dwell on tends to become true. For example, for people who imagine themselves married, without a doubt in their minds that it’s possible, they’ll get married. On the other hand, for people who dwell on how unhappy they are that they’re NOT married, they’ll tend to stay unmarried.
Angela | Jan 30, 2010


if u sleep before marriage..later if the engagement breaks ur heart will also break later u might not be connected with other guy
Lakshmi | Jan 30, 2010


Been together for over 7 years and married for 4 years. We slept together right off and never been happier.
Deg | Jan 30, 2010


I am a marriage, relationship and sexual coach. 99% of couples have sex with each other before they get married. Some peopel practice alternative sex, but if someone is having an orgasm, it is sex. Bill Clinton tried to say that he did not have sex with Monica Lewinsky because she gave him oral sex.

Disregard that advice and here is the ultimate advice to having a happy marriage. Learn conflict resolution skills. Everyone will have differences, it is how we resolve those differences that is the main thing. You can google my email address and read articles that I have had published on the net. There are several sexual articles on there, but the article that I want you to read is the one entitled; PEACEFULLY RESOLVING CONFLICT. It is the number one reason that couples break up, lack of conflict resolution skills.

As to the advice about keeping your hair long, I recommend it. Look on any fashion magazine and see if you see any models with short hair. You won’t, men love long hair on women. Women with short hair are project the message to men: screw you men, I don’t care what you think. Do you think that men want that kind of woman in their lives?

Men want respect from their women as their number one need, they need sex with their woman given willingly and lovingly. This is how men get their affectional needs met.

I hope that this helps you.
marriagecoach1 | Jan 30, 2010


It’s an interesting question and I was curious to see the responses. In my opinion, the only "wrong" thing to do is change your behavior based on what works for others.

Also, the numbers on this are often more complex than they appear to be. You might take an informal survey and discover that 20 percent of people claim they slept with their spouse within a week. Even if this is true, there’s no statistic for the number of people who had sex within a week and the relationship never went anywhere. In my own experience, this is by far the expected outcome. It creates a false sense of intimacy.

Corpse Bride
Corpse Bride (2005)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: Blue-tinted, eye-ball-popping, maggot-infested beauty Emily (Bonham Carter) has become known as the Corpse Bride after waiting for her fiance where the couple planned to rendezvous before getting hitched. When her groom arrives, he kills her, and she rests in the ground to wait for her soul mate, whether he knows he is the Corpse Bride’s groom or not. It’s a cold dark night, the moon is full, the stars are bright and the forest is a little bit creepy. Wandering through the black mangled trees, Victor (Depp) just can’t memorize his wedding vows. Victor’s hesitance towards marriage causes him to jumble the words. Two prominent families have arranged their children to be married in order to overcome financial difficulties. As the objects of betrothal, Victor and Victoria (Watson) met for the first time the night before their wedding. It only makes sense that Victor, a groom with cold feet, would have trouble remembering tedious wedding vows. Thus Victor ends up in the dark forest ringing his hands and muttering his vows, the vows that the Corpse Bride hears, bringing her out of the grave. Victor suddenly finds himself married to another woman, a voluptuous bombshell bride who also happens to be dead. Whisked away to the Land of the Dead, Victor finds out that living amongst corpses is not as easy as it seems. Heads easily loose their owners and eyes never seem to stay in their sockets, an adjustment that Victor seems reluctant to accept. Once taken into the Land of the Dead, it is nearly impossible to return, causing Victor to choose between risking Victoria’s life or giving up his own.

I really just want to know if on the basic level she’s just being friendly, or if in general an italian girl making a statement like this shows actual physical attraction


hi/bye beautiful.
it would be complement on the end of a greeting or ending.

heres the speech :
Watch the Full 16 min video of Martin Luther King’s famous I Have a Dream Speach Watch the Full 16-min video of Martin Luther King’s famous I Have a Dream Speach
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. [Applause]

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.

But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.

In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motel

What Novels would you say have the most elegant, beautiful writing?
I’m concerned primarily with style over content for this question.

I’ll list one myself - "Of Human Bondage" by W. Sommerset Maugham


"Hero of our time" by Mikael Lermentov. Even after translation, it’s still obvious how refined the writing is.

Barbara Kingsolver - The Poisonwood Bible

Moby Dick. This is my favourite:

But even so, amid the tornadoed Atlantic of my being, do I myself still for ever centrally disport in mute calm; and while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve around me, deep down and deep inland there I still bathe myself in eternal mildness of joy

Love it. <3

"Silk" by Alessandro Baricco

It’s a very thin novel, and written almost in prose style. The story is simple, but the end just blows you away! Honestly, one of the best love stories ever told, all the more because its written in a poetic style.

I’m going to have to go with ANYTHING by Pat Conroy or Wally Lamb. You’re not even concious you’re reading– you’re just flowing along lost in the worlds they create.

I haven’t read the whole thing yet, but "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand has beautiful character descriptions.

In English.. I like Any Rand …yet it seems so clear and so simple that is elegant..
