Great little movie. Loved it. Anyone who loves puzzles would like it, or word games like Scrabble or Boggle. Great performances by Jon Stewart of the Daily Show and President Clinton and NY Yankee Mike Mussina, all of whom are crossword puzzle fans. This was special to me because I did crosswords with my Dad, as a kid, growing up. It was a good Father/Son bonding time.

Has that improved over the years? Do you not like people or is it more that you think they don't like you?

I'd say it's gotten worse. The latter.

Have you sought professional help? Counseling? Therapy? People can be fun. In small doses of course. Aren't you lonely? Do you do crossword puzzles to help fill up the time? How about a dog? Do you have one? What kind of job do you have?

I don't communicate well. No,I haven't sought therapy or the other two. I don't do crossword puzzles. I don't have a pet. I work in a factory.

I work in a factory too. The post office is quite like factory work. If your HMO provides it, you might want to give counseling a try. I always found it quite good one on one, as opposed to couples therapy. You could learn stuff about yourself, maybe realize a lot of people feel like you do, and it might make you feel better about yourself. Or maybe a writing course at the local community college. It would help you communicate better (here at least). A journalism course. Teaches you to be concise, to the point, brief but effective.

I've been reading your back and forth posts, and though they are not directly about the movie "Wordplay", they do involve 'wordplay'. I just wanted to say, that in my observation (and appreciation for) Ketchuplover's posts, I find them to be "concise, to the point, brief but effective." KL, you have a very sharp wit and unique way of thinking that many of us appreciate, and we look forward to your cryptic posts because they are always interesting.
