1. I' m watching Erin Brockovitch on TNT (I think) right now.

It is a great movie.

edit - it is TBS I see, not TNT.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Yah. Right after we watched the video we saw the TNT ad. LOL

4. Well, they do have to bleep her language quite a bit but it is still good.

I'm glad Julia won an Oscar for it. She' great in it.

It also does a great job of showing her struggle as a single mom.

Did you know that the waitress who serves her and the kids at the restaurant near the beginning of the movie is the real Erin Brokovich?

7. Saw her name roll by in the credits. And yes, I considered how much bleepity bleep bleeping

would have to go on. Is it really bleeps or are they substituting stupid workds like, "What the fog are you doing?!"

[Pirate Smile]

10. You are right, they aren't actually bleeps, just some substitutes like hell for the f-word or

a bit of extra silence for taking out a word.

No big deal. I just remember what she really says and you can kind of tell.

3. Loved seeing "Erin Brokovich!"

Julia Roberts did a fantastic job, IMHO....

As did Albert Finney.....

She got an Oscar, didn't she?

[Pirate Smile]

6. Yep, she did.

5. Did you see My Dog Skip?

8. I thought both were great.

Well the "Dick" I saw was the new remake that came out a few years ago with Jim Carrey..thought it was a riot.

And I love me some Julia so I thought Brockovich was really good too.

9. That was a remake? I had no idea!

[bigwillq]

11. Yeah, I wanna say that Jane Fonda

was in the original.

Yeah, Fonda
