A few films I enjoyed:
The Stalker (Andrei Tarkovsky - Russian)
and
The Mirror (also Andrei Tarkovsky - Russian)
2 interesting dark comedies are:
The Bothersome Man (Norwegian)
and
Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself (Danish)

The Piano Teacher (French) drama
Just recently I saw Happy Go Lucky (Mike Leigh - English) which I thought was brilliant.

The Marriage Of Maria Braun (Rainer Werner Fassbinder - German)

Tarkovsky is brilliant. Sadly, I haven't seen many of his films.
Russian Ark was brilliant. It did something to my brain watching it, I don't know that I can fully describe it. Watching the film was like being in a waking dream. -

I'm going to copy down all the films you listed and look them up. I've watched very few foreign films since I took a film class in college, and have to admit I know nothing much about foreign directors. Hopefully, I'll be able to order some of these off Netflix. Must say, I think that movie service is the best, thought I never have time to watch the movies I order quick enough. Wish I didnt' need to sleep, I'd watch movies all night. : )

LTROI is phenomenal. Best vampire movie ever. The two main actors are phenomenal, especially for children.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film. The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons. He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day. however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more. in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
