Could be! I know, let's ask her! Excuse me, Jedisan, but do you tend to rant sometimes? This is not meant to be nosey, it's just sort of a geneological question. Thanks.

Jed, if it was son of jed it would be jedisOn. Maybe jedisAn means dAughter of jed.

WTF?

Don't you people have anything else to do with your lives! The government is watching you, the earth is going to hell in a hand basket, and you are wondering about me????

Just kidding.......
I am a kidder.

seriously, i didn't know my identity would be such a hot (OFF) topic, I feel like i should have my own thread (LOL). All this talk about me, makes me feel like Madonna!

I regret i am not kin or anything else to Jed254 that i know of ;)
but from his bio, I see we have alot of compatible (sp?) interests.

Jedisan, is part homage to my mom who spent many years in Japan (and brought me back lots of cool stuff!) and my love of sci-fi.

(but this seems the wrong thread for this...)

back to lurking....
I trust i have solved this particular mystery...

LOVE YOU GUYS SO TERRIBLY (posters of this web-site)- you ALL make my day, every day with your witty posts, and insightful observations.

Have a lucky day!

We saw this and it was very entertaining. (dh didn't like it, but that didn't surprise me)

The choreography/musical numbers were crisp and executed to perfection. The visuals were stunning. The story line was easy to follow.

Its all musical numbers all the way, so if this is too much for you (or your dh) wait for DVD, but imo, this is something you should see on the big screen.

Fantastic! and I'm happy that Renee Zellweger won the golden globe. She deserved it and I hope she wins the oscar.

Ok, I may be a little bit biased because I adore musicals, (West Side Store is my favorite movie ever) but this move has made it to my list of top 5 all time favorite movies. It was incredible.

I have seen it on Broadway twice. I have never had the feeling from a movie that I do from a Broadway show (getting choked up from the excitement) but THIS movie did it. It was just incredible, I sat with my mouth open. Every part of it was perfect to me. I love each and every song (have to get the soundtrack), the intensity of the music and the choreography. They were all perfect in the role.

I cannot wait to see it again.

Unless you absolutely hate musicals, see this one right away.

I saw Chicago about a month ago. Since then I've been trying to talk my 30 year old daughter into seeing it with me. She thinks she's too cool to sit through an old-fashioned musical. Sigh! Maybe I'll try my 43 year old daughter. She's more pliable.

I enjoyed it well enough, but I thought Richard Gere was atrocious. His singing is pitiful - he sounds like he is warbling with a frog in his throat. When I watched it I thought, well, maybe his character is supposed to sing like that. Then I heard a CD of the Broadway production and Billy Flynn's songs sounded great! Richard Gere was the worst thing about Chicago.

Yippy, both my girls are going. First we're going to do dinner. We don't often do things together. I'm so happy for that and also to see Chicago again and enjoy the great music.

Yesterday saw Chicago for the second time. Can't wait to see it again. I can clearly see 'musicals R me'!

Believe it or not I'm heading out tomorrow for my 3rd viewing of Chicago. I just adore the music and dancing.

Just got back and it gets better with each viewing. I'm about to wear out the CD and my precious daughter is going to get the DVD for me when it comes out in June. Hey, am I the only one fixated on this movie?

I loved the movie...and I love the stage show of Chicago...I'm so glad Catherine (what a beautiful woman) got the award the other night...she didn't have the lead but I love her role the the best...it's a very good show and I'm looking forward to it coming out on DVD also.

I have a husband who would rather self-castrate then see a musical (has to do with Howard Keel/Katherine Grayson flashbacks I think. LOL). So I want to take my 14 and 11 year old girls instead, but the rating is 14A. Can someone who has seen the movie tell me why? Is it just the subject matter (murder I mean)? I am pretty clear on the story line and I don't see where the 14A is warranted unless it's just 'adult content'.

I've seen it 3 times and personally I would not take a child younger than 15. As you probably know PG 13 is what an R rating first started out to be. There is a 'humping' in the bed scene with him pulling her panties off...lots of sex noises. Also, he is shown from behind urinating in the toilet. There is a lot of taking the Lord's name in vain which is the worst as that is real, the rest is acting. I watched it with my lady friends and was still embarrassed. I would just die if my young impressionable teenage girls were sitting beside me. Well, Rissa, that's my opinion for what it's worth.

I agree with Ophiliasgrandma, it really is of adult content...I'll tell you my dh isn't really into musicals but he really enjoyed this one...it really is one a man can really enjoy...Tell him he'll like it so quit pouting because he loves you, and you really want (AND NEED) to see this movie on the big screen...LOL

It is also a very sexual movie with respect to the dancing.
Every scene is tinged with subtle sexuality, some scenes are not so subtle either, they are right out there (the cell block tango)

The dialogue and lyrics have some of the seven "dirty words".
but a lot of lyrics are missed if you are into the dancing and the rest of scene, it can go right over your head.

i have no concept of what a 14 yr old girl these days knows/doesnt know, but i would be safe, and skip this particular movie, again, more for sexual content then the "violence".

my two cents

K, well 3 for 3. LOL Guess I am not taking the girls. :) We have our own little system here for what they can see. Anything PG-13 or up has to be watched in the presence of either hubby or myself. 14A is usually banned outright but every once in awhile a movie is rated 14A for one scene or just for being about something adult themed("US" with Pfeiffer comes to mind and Armeggedon, Independance Day), so we bend the rules. That's why I asked, but just from your answers I can see this one will definately be off limits.

Ericka, I used that angle for Miss Saigon and Les Miserables, I think I've worn it out now. LOLOL Besides I really don't mind since he will never get me to see HIS type either. I like to call them the dead-teenager-genre (Scream, I Know What You Did, etc.) plus anything involving a war, spies or crashing cars. LOLOL We grab the movie section and both of us list the movies that we REFUSE to see, then we negotiate our way through the rest.
