Noah. don't bother, painful experience. major beef with the movie is just the twisted plot. crazy long, the two kids sitting behind me long about 2 hours in totally lost it. i didn't blame them. drags on and on. basically a bunch of time up front in the movie doing what exactly? not sure, Noah and family wander around eating moss and stuff, they don't eat meat, thats evil. those that eat meat will be destroyed by the Creator. ok fine, accept that in the movie and move on, but its weird. the meat eater theme continues throughout. as does...

Flame On Freepers!! Just wanted to say i think Boehner did the right thing. here me out my fellow freepsters. notice, the debt thing just slid by. we didn't have to listen to Obama and cohort moan and groan, divert attention from all the really bad stuff going on. Issue is OFF THE TABLE. yeah i get it, more debt bigger government, but at this point whats another couple billion when we got a legit shot at taking BOTH the House and the Senate. If we get that done, investigate, subpoena, impeach, go nuts on the SOB's. But if we...

Aside from that she fills the roll. She also fills out her tight skirt, looks like Ms. Foster has ballooned a little. Might have gone another way on the rear tight skirt shots. Double wide. Lot of stuff...
