sweet-dreams Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Meh. I'm not particularly attracted to him. He's... okay. Not my type. Yeah, not mine either. But I still had to admit that he was good looking in Water for Elephants. Much more so than anything else I've seen him in. OMG you have to read the book. It is amazing. I read it in 2 nights, and then decided I'd have to see the movie (which I haven't had a chance to do yet). I wasn't originally going to see the movie, because I was worried that it might be one that people go to see just cos of the people in it, and not the story, but having read the book it sounds amazing. I've been a bit awol and had a lack of time lately, because not only was I getting in final assignments, and preparing for going overseas in 20 days (whose counting - and so much I still need to do wow), but on friday night my little niece was born, so I've spent a fair amount of time at the hospital this weekend visiting. Okay, I'll put it on my "to read" list. The main reasons I wanted to see the film were that I thought the cinematography in the trailer looked quite impressive and because of Christoph Waltz. I don't enjoy going to circuses because of the cruelty I imagine the animals are subject to (and this film did nothing to change my views on that, but rather intensify them), I do find the behind the scenes aspect intriguing.

There are a lot of circuses without animals these days, and you have to remember that that book is set a fair amount of time ago. There's a bunch of guidelines now. In fact I can't even remember the last time I went to a circus that actually had animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to one just a week ago and it really is with mixed feelings! Camels, lamas and horses. In the pause they let children ride on the animals.

silver Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I've never really been into circuses. I never liked the idea of lions and tigers and other wild animals being made to perform. I liked the liberty horses, but then I like horses full stop But clowns - dreadfully unfunny. And a bit scary too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a bit scary too I went to my first (and only) circus when I was like... 2 or 3. the only thing I remember is being up in a stand about to sit down with my dad, and a clown passed and looked up at me and flipped his hat as he passed by and I just stared at him and my dad said something like "I think he's trying to make you laugh." One of my first memories. I was a smart little tyke - even then I thought "how is that funny though?" That's all I remember of it. I'm sure it was fairly fun though... I'm entertained easily.

I know that they are no longer so explicitly cruel to the animals these days, but I still dislike the whole concept of getting them to perform and live away from their habitats, merely for the entertainment of humans. The last time I went to the circus was two or three years ago for a friend's birthday and there were animals there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_collard Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Not the whole play in one post, just in three words at a time OOoooh, righto.... That would've been pretty long then. 33 now See, even Meeks is excited about us being near the end of the thread! Just random posts then Woot! MFC! I might try to get a conversation started. Has anybody seen that film 'Water for Elephants'? I saw it the other day and really liked it, I might have to read the book now. And Christoph Waltz is such an amazing actor. Nope, though dcdeb recommended the book to me... I've been a bit awol and had a lack of time lately, because not only was I getting in final assignments, and preparing for going overseas in 20 days (whose counting - and so much I still need to do wow), but on friday night my little niece was born, so I've spent a fair amount of time at the hospital this weekend visiting. OOooh, double 'citing! Hope bub is well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
