74 year old blind woman threatened with a lien on her house over unpaid bill...the amount? $0.01 -- (link) - Beaker Nov 18, 07:40 9
- Not seeing the issue...it's a lien...not a foreclosure -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:45 6
  - well, the stamp to mail it costs $.42. A cutoff is needed (CCRA uses $2 where they will neither refund nor look for payment) -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 07:46 5
    - So then the "74 year old blind" part was just not needed. - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:50 3
      - Not much of a storyteller, huh? "Little Red Riding Hood" by CCC becomes "Girl". -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 07:58 1
        
        It's an attempt to make you feel outrage that isn't really deserved,it's like, "store refused to refund opened DVD returned by74 year old blind woman" -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 08:04
      - it makes the story -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 07:56
    - plus it was the current year's bill. Crazy to start threatening after taxpayers after 1 year of non-payment -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 07:47

  - I just can't listen to a phone with my right ear. my brain just won't accept the input -- nm - zork Nov 18, 07:32 1
    - Left handed? -- nm - lileve Nov 18, 07:36
- no speaker? -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:26 3
  - Nope. For whatever reason the leader didn't think to book a conference room. -- nm - Ender Nov 18, 07:28 2

    - I almost fainted when I tried it. It was so gross I couldn't stop laughing. -- nm - Amy Nov 18, 07:38 2
      - I don't blame you. Most of the guys I've watched try it over here, have looked at me like I was an alien (which in principle, of course, I am) - The Pastry Chef - everybody likes a creamy Danish Nov 18, 07:54 1
        
        I like it - though it's not something I can eat a whole bag of in one go. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 08:01
  - Yes. It's awesome. -- nm - The Pastry Chef - everybody likes a creamy Danish Nov 18, 07:27
  - It has ammonia in it! -- nm - Amy Nov 18, 07:26 1

- I'd also add that it depicted gangsters very differently from previous gangster films. - Roger More Nov 18, 07:47
- the mafia was more prominent then. That seemed to be the focus of the FBI before terrorism seemingly took over. -- nm - zork Nov 18, 07:18
- I'm thinking it was probably the first gangster film to not rely on tommy guns. They were portrayed as a family and a business with power struggles. - Max Nov 18, 07:16 37
  - [deleted] 36
    - Try to think of what it doesn't do as a film. It hits all marks -- nm - con_carne Nov 18, 07:46 1

    - Definately up there...not *my* #2 but in the top 10 -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:21
    - Poll people now and few would say Citizen Kane should be anywhere near #1, but it was considered so in the movie business for decades. -- nm - Max Nov 18, 07:20 22
      - In a poll of "All-time greatest movies?" I'd be shocked if it wasn't #1. - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:26 12
        
        With the normal american who's not a complete OMG Fanboy of something recent? - Will Hunting Nov 18, 07:28 11
        
        Like I said, depends on who you poll. (the "doesn't it always?" nm) - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:31 10
        
        I'm sure Maxium Magazine readers poll wouldn't have it very high -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:32 9
        
        The newest issue ranks the current Bond girl as the "Hottest Ever." - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:39 8
        
        I do hope Ursula Andress kicks their asses. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 07:45 1
        
        Pfft. The discussion begins and ends with Claudine Auger. Andress wouldn't make my top 10 -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 07:49
        
        [deleted]
        
        It wouldn't sell many issues if it said "Third Hottest Bond Girl" -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:43 1
        
        I don't remember if it said it on the cover. - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:45
        
        Well, I've seen most Bond films and honestly, I like the current ones best...then Connery next. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:42 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Well, I'd take the current women too...got no flowers for your gun, no hippie chicks -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:47
      - Kane is still #1 in my book...not only for breaking new ground, but also because of the story...worthy of being called great literature - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:25 3
        
        It's the blueprint of great film, that's for sure. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:27 2
        
        Over-rated! - kelly Nov 18, 07:31 1
        
        No, it really isn't. - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:41
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Dude. Watch it tonight. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:27 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I think you will enjoy Kane a lot. And bet after watching then reading about it and rewatching, you will find so much there. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:37
        
        you haven't seen it? no need to wait. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:27
    - It's in the discussion for #1. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 07:19 7
      - I have this debate with myself all the time. - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:29 2
        
        I prefer #1 - I think #2 covers much of the same territory, only more so. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 07:40
        
        This is the reason I like Iron Man over Dark Knight. -- nm - Max Nov 18, 07:38
      - We should rewatch these in the near future. - kelly Nov 18, 07:22
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Why research it and then watch again? It's not a documentary. Just sit back and enjoy it. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 07:23 1
        
        [deleted]
    - IMO it is great all around, which adds up to one of the greatest of all time. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:19
    - Yes. It's a fantastic film. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:19
- IIRC, the cinematography was very influential. All those scenes shot in the dark. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:16 1
  - oh yes, and early scenes shot in sepia tone. that was ripped off quite a lot. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:19
- "important" how? I thought when it was released it was just a great movie based on bestselling material. - JaxSean Nov 18, 07:15 6
  - I heard somewhere that Mario Puzo considered it his worst novel. -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 07:15 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - I'm sure it was $$$$. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:29
      - *shrug* - znufrii Nov 18, 07:28 1
        
        well, thinking it's not your best novel is not the same as thinking it's your worst -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 07:39
  - [deleted]
- It was one of the first times that method acting was used in film to such a great extent, IIRC -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 07:12 4
  - Really? Thought that was much earlier with Brando in Streetcar and such...the first Strausberg actors -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:14
  - [deleted] 1
    - I'll save you the trouble...what people that don't know how to "act" use to get jobs. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:16
  - (I only just watched it recently for the first time, too) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 07:12
- moving on to the second one next I hope...you *can* live without the 3rd. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:12 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - still have never watched #3 -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 07:13 2
      - Aside from Sophia, it's tolerable...problem is her character is key to the emotional development of the film...but I found the very end a nice touch -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 18, 07:15 1
        
        I still cry every time. -- nm - emoticripple Nov 18, 07:58
