Human Nature

Human Nature
Human Nature (2001)

IMDB rating: 6.20

Plot: A philosophical burlesque, Human Nature follows the ups and downs of an obsessive scientist, a female naturalist, and the man they discover, born and raised in the wild. As scientist Nathan (Robbins) trains the wild man, Puff (Ifans) in the ways of the world - starting with table manners - Nathan’s lover Lila (Arquette) fights to preserve the man’s simian past, which represents a freedom enviable to most. In the power struggle that ensues, an unusual love triangle emerges exposing the perversities of the human heart and the idiosyncrasies of the civilized mind. Human Nature is a comical examination of the trappings of desire in a world where both nature and culture are idealized.

Anyone know what movie this is?
Ok here I go and hopefully you know where I’m getting at:

It starts out with a girl screaming and doesn’t know where she is, she notices a door with a whole bunch of locks on it and the door is rattling really bad (like someone from the other side is trying to open the door really hard but can’t), then the door opens and whatever was in there got to the girl and ripped her to pieces. Then when the movie actually starts the star of the movie is a teenager in high school that has to do a movie project of how his life is and the people he lives around for school. His family on the other hand takes people away and into their seller and puts people in cages locked up and when the time comes cuts peoples limbs off and whatnot for this creature behind this now-small-door, for it too feed. And the last scene I saw was the kid with the camera went down into the seller (for maybe the first time or something, because he was scared) and a girl locked up screamed and he dropped his coke can onto the ground and went over to investigate….

Well that isn’t really an explanation on the movie that much, but that’s all I remembered.

If this helps: I watched the movie on Comcast on demand at my grandparents around Halloween. It’s a horror movie, and seems though the movie is at least in the 2000’s or mid 2000’s, so semi new movie. Hopefully you can determine what the movie is, because I thought it was a interesting movie and I want to see it again.
And maybe somewhat from what I remembered, the movie started with a ‘C’….I think, probably not but maybe!

How am I ever going to tell her this……?
Robert Loggia (born January 3, 1930) is an Italian-American film and television actor and director, who specializes in character parts. Best known for his exuberant dance with Tom Hanks on a gigantic keyboard in Big (1988), Robert Loggia began his studies at New York’s Actors Studio. His first important Broadway assignment was 1955’s The Man with the Golden Arm; one year later, he made his first film, Somebody Up There Likes Me. In 1958, he enjoyed a brief flurry of TV popularity as the title character in The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca, a multipart western originally telecast on Walt Disney Presents. His hair and eyebrows are more than often dyed a brown-like color in his movies, so often that his naturally white hair comes as a surprise when seen in real life and in films without it.

how long should it last for?
We are having a daytime wedding probably at 1pm, how long should the wedding last for, including reception. Its an intimate backyard wedding with only close family and friends. and we wanted to be able to leave for our honeymoon before it gets dark, though its in july so it wont be getting dark until about 8 or 9. I really dont want to have a 7-8 hour wedding, I feel like people would get bored, even if there is plenty of music and entertainment. Also on the wedding invitations is it okay to put the time and the time it ends? example: 1:00 til 5:00


Your timeline sounds fine and there’s no problem putting it on the invite. There’s also no problem leaving it open ended if the person hosting it doesn’t mind. You and your bride can certainly leave at 5, but in many weddings, people just go back to having fun. Back in the day when the couple was anxious to start their honeymoon (and often this meant spending their first night together!) this happened all the time. They’d sail off in a shower of rice, and the guests would go back to the party. Either way is fine!

Messykatt | Nov 13, 2009


in this case, I think it is perfectly appropriate to put an end time on the invite.
And I think 4pm or 5pm should be your end time, unless you plan on serving your guests dinner.
nova_queen_28 | Nov 13, 2009


When I got married last year, we planned to leave out after our wedding. It started at 11:00 PM (:45mins), the reception started at 12:30 PM bc it was at a different location. For some reason we danced for hours. Our plane left at 5:45 PM. We left at about 4:00 PM. No one got bored, we had a blast and everyone was still dancing when we left. My mother told me they stayed until about 6:00 PM dancing. So, don’t worry about people getting bored. As long as you don’t intentionally drag it out, you should be fine and it is possible for you to leave after the ceremony. If your wedding starts at 1:00 PM, and the reception starting some time afterwards you could probably get away with leaving for your honeymoon around 7:00 PM, just to play it safe. So you won’t feel rushed.
Miss Curious | Nov 13, 2009


I think 4-5 hours is good.It would be a good idea to put the time on the invites.Congrats.

Hearts in Atlantis (2001)

IMDB rating: 6.70

Plot: This is a gentle, innocent film about the reflections of an aging man (David Morse), who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend. Memories of life at age 11 floods back as it was a magical time that changed his life. Three 11 year old children (Anton Yelchin as Bobby, Mika Boorem as Carol, and Will Rothaar as Sully) share their lives. Carol & Bobby have a special affection for one another including sharing a kiss “by which all others will be measured”. Bobby lives with his mother (Hope Davis), a bitter, vain woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder (Anthony Hopkins), who befriends the boy but generates distrust from the mother. As time passes, the man and boy share confidences and special powers are revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the “lowmen”, who were seeking him. The two share a summer’s adventures and come to love one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school bully (Timothy Reifsnyder) also changes everyone.

Which Stephen King book should I read next?
I just finished Under the Dome, and his Dark Tower series back in June. Anyways, I’ve seen almost off the the movie/TV renderings, except Hearts in Atlantis and the Dark Half, and part of Needful things.

But he has so many other books that I want to read soo bad. Which do you recommend to read? Again I’ve only read that book and the series. I also have The Talisman which looks good to. Thanks for any recs! I don’t want it too long (no 1000 pagers), but rather have a page-turner, deep psychological thrillerish, and excellent character development.


I started "Needful Things" last year and now I am getting around to finishing it. I am 3/4 of the way through and I think all of the conflicts and "side plots" have been introduced and I am curious as to who will win.

I have heard negative reports about "From a Buick 8 *" I started reading it, and then tried to listen to it on tape, and never got into it.

I listened to "Cell" on tape, I liked it maybe because it is based in New England. (there was enough blood shed to keep me interested;-))

I listened to "Hearts in Atlantis" on tape, and I liked it. King does some of the reading.

I read "Du ma Key" and liked it. There were a lot of twists and turns.

I know you asked about books by King, but I listened to "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac and liked it. But there was really no plot, (not that I could follow)

I got to Part 3 of Dark Tower, but I gave up half way through.

I started "Black House" I liked the concept, but I have been busy job hunting I did not really "get into it".

I read "The Regulators" There are some interesting ideas in it.

I liked "Dolan’s Cadillac"
My all time favorite is "Rage"
I liked "Sometimes They Come Back" and it got to me, but there are a lot of teachers in my family.

Miami Vice (2006)

IMDB rating: 6.10

Plot: Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born Intel analyst Trudy (Naomie Harris), as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders. Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) [to the untrained eye, his presentation may seem unorthodox, but procedurally, he is sound] is charismatic and flirtatious until - while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group - he gets romantically entangled with Isabella (Gong Li), the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs trafficker. The best undercover identity is oneself with the volume turned up and restraint unplugged. The intensity of the case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one - especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves.

Have Americans been hoodwinked by government?
So confusing … invading Iraq was partly justified by our governent in attempt to capture Bin Laden. Then in 2003 President Bush, asked about Bin Laden’s whereabouts said, "I don’t know and I don’t caer." Now Defense Secretary RObert Gates says that the US has not know of his whereabouts in years. A United States Senate report released last week said Bin Laden was "within the grasp" of US forces in late 2001 but escaped because then-defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld rejected calls for reinforcements.

So we are going to be spending billions, eventually trillions of dollars on this war to presumably find Bin Laden and then the Bush Administration decided it wasn’t important enough?

What is with this government? What in the heck are they doing? They had no real evidence, they had no real plan, changed course in midstream and we, the hardworking and faithful Americans just believe and believe and pay and pay?

Where is the accountability? And where is the shame? It appears to me that we have been extremely misled or fooled, either purposefully or unpurposefully. Many have died in this war, both Americans and innocent middle-eastern people. Why haven’t we Americans made it clearn that we’ve had enough of this irresponsible government and rip-off taxation?

Comments?


yessss

nicolette | Dec 06, 2009


there is always misdirection and another motive than stated. Misdirection when they say this point is important so everyone focuses on a small problem while missing a big point that they either caused or wouldn’t be popular.
Facade | Dec 06, 2009


The war in Afghanistan is about neutralizing the Taliban threat. Capturing Bin Laden would be incidental. Do you think we should just leave Afghanistan?
primec2 | Dec 06, 2009


One more thing you forgot to add, Presidents are Bought by the Oil companys and the worlds Banks, How eles would Obama changed his tune about if he were President he would get all our troops out of Afghanistan & Iraq, And get Americans Green Jobs and a decent health care? Cheney is behind the push for war thats nothing new, Bush on the other hand was a puttet. We just cannot believe any of our Goverment They dont know how to tell the truth all they see is $$$$ and whats in it for them. It’s time we the people make our Goverment accountable Starting with all the Fat Cats in Washington Cheney as # 1.

Jungle Cubs

Jungle Cubs
Jungle Cubs (1996)

IMDB rating: 5.50

Plot: The comic adventures of the children of the Jungle Book characters as they cope by themselves with life in the wild, search for food, shelter from nature, and learn to get along with each other.

Directors: Thompkins Kenny

Actors: Adler Charles,Baker Dee Bradley,Cummings Jim,Furst Stephen,Marsden Jason,Paulsen Rob,Wylie Adam,Adventure,Family,Animation,Comedy,

I am looking for the name of a silent movie shot completely in a jungle where a dog rescues cubs from predator?
The synopsis is that the owner loses his dog and this dog somehow ends up in this jungle.
She notices that the three cubs (belonging to a jaguar or a cougar) are orphaned and the cubs think that the dog is their mother..
She develops a liking for them and starts protecting them against predators.
I am desperate to remember the name of the movie.
It has one superb scene where a full grown wolf chases the dog. The dog runs really hard uphill and then abruptly stops at the edge of the cliff and the wolf leaps over and falls to its death…


Benji the Hunted (1987)
IMDb synopsis:
Show dog Benji is lost at sea and winds up in the wilderness of Oregon to fend for himself. Benji’s one and only plan is to get back into his master’s arms as soon as possible until he finds four orphaned cougar kittens whose mother was shot by a hunter. Now, his ultimate task is to get the four orphaned kittens into the care of another mother cougar with her single child while avoiding the threatening animals of the wild.
IMDb review:
"Benji the Hunted" is a movie that will surely bring a warm joy to animal lovers. The biggest strength of the movie is the detailed portrayal of emotions by the animal star-cast. It is nearly impossible to miss the perfection with which director Joe Camp captures even tiny details like the trembling legs of cougar kittens that follow Benji, the innocence of their faces, or even their spontaneous playful nature. The movie is not about Benji performing breathtaking, complicated maneuvers to save the day, but rather how Benji faces the day-to-day challenges of living in the wild with the added responsibility of four orphaned cougar kittens. The challenges of the wild are plentiful, enough to keep your eyes hooked to the screen. Yet it’s not a fast-paced thriller which would have cost the movie its credibility as a realistic one. The human actors in the movie have very limited role. Benji again emerges as a hero, showing a big heart, and the message of peace and non-violence is very effectively communicated in the movie.
TRIVIA:
Benjean, daughter of Higgins, portrays Benji. Higgins is the original Benji and also co-starred in the TV series "Petticoat Junction".
