| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | What Women Want. What a cute movie with a really clever premise. Mel Gibson gets electrocuted and can read women's minds. Helen Hunt is so gorgeous in this movie, so sexy, so beautiful. She was 37, and for a lot of women that's their peak period. A nice way to spend 2 hours. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

"What Women Want" was very charming, and reminds us that Mel Gibson was once one of the most beloved movie stars in the world. Six years later he would shout out "F__ing Jews... the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. Are you a Jew?". Not a good statement for someone who works in Hollywood to make. "What Women Want" is the most successful film directed by Nancy Myers (Born: December 8, 1949 :age 66), BoxOfficeMojo lists her as the most financially successful female director (based on domestic earnings). Worldwide (Unadjusted) 1 What Women Want Par. $374.1 million 2000 2 Something's Gotta Give Sony $266.7 2003 3 It's Complicated Uni. $219.1 2009 4 The Holiday Sony $205.1 2006 5 The Intern WB $194.6 2015 6 The Parent Trap BV $92.1 1998 Total: $1,351.8 million Lilly & Lana Wachowski would put them well above Nancy Myers both domestically and worldwide. Lilly & Lana Wachowski $714.6 million domestic for 7 films Nancy Meyers $625.6 domestic for 6 films. But Lilly & Lana were both male when they made the Matrix trilogy. So I don't know if they now retroactively take the record. Kelly Asbury (Born: January 15, 1960 :age 56) is the only female director to have directed a film that made close to a billion dollars worldwide. All three of her films have all been animated. Worldwide (Unadjusted) 1 Shrek 2 DW $919.8 million (2004) 2 Gnomeo and Juliet BV $194.0 (2011) 3 Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron DW $122.6 (2002) Total: $1,236.4 million UPCOMING RELEASES Smurfs: The Lost Village Sony 4/7/17 Domestically (unadjusted) Nancy Meyers $625.6 million for 6 films Kelly Asbury $614.5 million for 3 films So unless Nancy Meyers directs a film before Kelly Asbury directs the Smurfs, the title will go to Kelly. |

Where did you see that news? I watched that series (on netflix) with my kids a few years ago. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

It was on this list (#4 out of 11) http://www.blastr.com/2015-2-16/11-sci-fi-shows-1990s-deserve-revival-along-x-files I read somewhere that they were airing the show on Netflix to give it a trial run and see if it was worth reviving. |

| AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18209 | I have been watching "The Big Short" a story of the mortgage collapse. I love it because I lived so much of it. We all knew it could not be sustained, but what could you do. We did not know just how exposed the investment banks were, though. We would shake our heads at loan officers being allowed to use their own appraisers and the value rarely missed. "Speed" was the mantra. My place didn't even do the worst of them, though one loan officer I was told did some time. If you liked "Boiler Room" or "Margin Call" or "Money Never Sleeps" you will probably love it. If you want a chick-flick with the wife fugheddabaddit. The President is a fink. |

Ahh. That article just looks like wishful thinking to me. Earth 2 has been on Netflix for a long time. Farscape is my favorite from that list. That's currently on Netflix too. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | I just watched "The Little Prince" on Netflix because it is a great book. The movie is pretty good and it is a great help for anyone who has lost someone very special to them. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

I knew there was more than one reason why I hate that book. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
