That was one of the incredible aspects of Life Is Beautiful... their love. Dora just NEEDED to be near her family, even if it puts her in the path of death, and Guido, he had to protect his child, as well as keep his wife hopeful (by playing her song, yelling messages over the loudspeaker), throughout the devastation. Ocn, I'm almost tempted to drive out to PA to see it with you. Of course, I'll be more prepared this time by having two boxes of Kleenex with me! lolTrinacriabob, another EXCELLENT Italian film is L'ultimo bacio (The Last Kiss). You can actually rent it at Blockbuster, although it's a bit difficult to find. Essentially it's about 5 guys, all friends and in different parts of their lives (one married with a child, one single, one a player, one engaged, etc.), and how they're coping with women and all the changes happening about them. What I love about it is, with ALL of the different scenarios, it presents relationship problems from like a full lifetime... like mid-twenties to senior-age status. However, do NOT watch it with someone who might be offended by profanity as "cazzo" is like every other word.

Roberto, Cosa pensi che sceglo io? lol

Let me tell you a FUNNY story...I have seen Cinema Paradiso God knows how many times over SO many years... last year, I decided, "Oh, I'll show this to my students before a vacation, we'll do some work on Sicily and geography, and they'll get a kick out of the movie." I never knew there were two versions of the film. So, there I am in the back of the room, grading papers, and I hear, "Uh, Profe G.... Profe G!" and I look up and there are two people SCREWING in a CHURCH... totally naked... just going at it... grunting, grinding... I thought I was going to black out. At least I remembered to fast-forward the scene towards the beginning of the film where the boys are jerking off in the front row of the theater LOL Naturally, I showed this movie because I felt La vita è bella (Life Is Beautiful), would be too upsetting for them, too mature and emotional a theme for my sixth graders to handle. Naturally, the sevenths and eighths saw La vita è bella--you know, the clean film! LOL The movie was incredibly dour... that was one of the comments I made to my friends is how depressing it is, start to finish, with like no ups at all.Yes, it is about how people process adversity, and I noticed that element in it, but I just couldn't help but identify with too many elements of the gay characters, being gay myself. As for the disturbing part, I imagined that what happened, because of the mention of the tire iron in Jack Twist's "accident", Ennis invisioned and felt throughout his body, the same reaction to the story he told in the beginning of the movie. My only other concern was that maybe Jack didn't have an "accident", and maybe it happened for the same reason as in the story Ennis tells in the beginning. But I can't think too much of that now... I'm truly spent... drained.

What gets me is that Caddy doesn't have a car that can compete with the 7-series, A8 or S-Class... why do people think a lesser luxury division, Buick, should get a car that competes with that?

Well, I saw the movie today... I am absolutely torn apart... I haven't felt like this in, well, a long time. Granted I'm kinda going through heartbreak right now, I was just absolutely destroyed over and over during the course of the movie, and almost felt like I could relate to a degree. I loudly gasped at the end when the story of what happened to Jack Twist, as told by his ex wife (are they called ex if they're separated?) I couldn't even talk for a while, and my friend Stacy knew what was on my mind, so she let me be. But here it is, 8 hours later, and I'm still as frazzled as I was before. And I felt SO bad for Michelle Williams' character, Alma... having tried twice to do the "straight" thing and force myself to be with women... just knowing I couldn't give "all" of myself, heart and soul, to the girl... I could feel her pain, and understood her reaction as I caused it to happen with two women before. And Ennis' shame he felt, when he got violent as Alma confronted him during dinner after they were divorced... the rage that wants to overtake you... it just hit too many nerves inside me. It took me to a place I never wanted to go back to again. Was a very difficult movie to watch. Incredibly powerful.

Another good example would be the new Enclave grille... as shown in my signature.

Wait, any news if the non-Super trims will get the newer grille as well? I mean, I'm just hoping the ovoid grille is gone after this year. I would imagine they would as it doesn't fit the newer style grilles.

Whoah... first we hear the `08 LaCrosse Super is coming out in `07, now this? COOL I was getting worried we were going to have a dull year! I'm VERY anxious to see production versions of both vehicles.

I agree... you need to be able to pick and choose some options... not to mention, everything else seems to have available V8's, and as nice as you make your 6, it's just not an 8.

That's great and everything, but I am hoping for more changes than just a grille and V8. We'll see.

I like that interior SO much more in person than I do in photos. It looks nice.

Is it really going to? Why did I think it was going to happen in 2008?
