Nowadays, is not surprising to find a man at his 70s having a toddler. Women on the other hand, are having babies as late as in 50s. My concern is the late pregancies are associated with too much risk. The other thing that concern...

sandacocos As I said, people like this have children for selfish reasons, knowing they are getting old and they have no one to rely on later.They actually have chidren to have someone to care for them, not the other way around.

Speaking of movies, I'm here to write this discussion about a particular movie that I really want to see. This film is called "Witchboard" (I do not know if you know). I tried searching on Emule, but I can not download it...

There are a lot of movies made after books, but one of the two is always better than the other.Give me your example of a movie that was better than the book (or the other way around,)and why do you think it was so.

sandacocos You are right, they both have merits. But I prefer the intelectual exercise you have to make with a book.I see the kids nowadays, they only know the tv and the computer, and I see they are more violent, but also more obtuse in thinking.It is no wonder, when...

sandacocos The woman was Jodie Foster, in Summersby, as I remember.I like her very much, she is a great actrice, but you can see she started young in the movies ( I think she was 8 ). Unfortunately, if you wanted to make a movie exactly like a book, they would all be...

sandacocos Hmm.I have to admit I never heard of it. It's a pitty they don't cast the right actors in movies, because just a known name doesn't make the movie great.

sandacocos Exactly! And I think that one of the reasons I didn't like Twilight was because of the two actor playing the main characters, the ones I see and hear so much in the media, it's like they are trying to recreate in their life whatever happens in the story.And...

sandacocos I know what you mean, I felt the same with Wuthering Heights :)) It's true I read it in english ( not my native language), but it is so hard to find a good translation (also in movie subtitles, I can't stand it when they don't get it right).

sandacocos I am not saying movies aren't good, and you can't rely on a big director for all of them, and I think it's wrong to admire and overrate a movie because it was directed by.... That's the case with Titanic, yes the special effects were great, but that's kinda...

sandacocos Indeed, the amount of information is much better.Another thing I don't agree with is modifying the plot in the movie, to be better liked by the public.If I wrote a book and someone would want to make a movie on it, I couldn't agree to something like that. I...

sandacocos I also like the books for that reason, they give you time to adapt, to outline every bit of information, and that great feeling you have when you finish the book, you sort of sum up the book for a moment. I saw and read The Da Vinci Code, but the thing that...

sandacocos You are very fortunate to have more time to read,I have to steal some time to read on the bus to work, or when I eat in the evening( I read at the table since I was 6). I love movies, too, but lately I don't see any imagination in the plots, they just ran out...

sandacocos I also think that books let your imagination run free.I don't say the movies can't live up to the books, but maybe your own made up version is better, after all :)

sandacocos The old movies are great to see because of the actors.Nowadays,you can really tell if an actor only has the looks, but not the talent (there are so many cases).Back then they did it for pleasure, it was a commitment to them, it was art.

sandacocos Well, for this one, I only read the book.It was, as expected,great.But for this kind of classics, I prefer to see the old versions of the movie,because a time goes by, every version made tends to add something that might not have been intended in the book, to...

sandacocos But there are two sides with the trailers :) they either show the best parts of the movie in them, or they don't show you enough to make you interested
