I used to love those books you sound like a movie buff! i like movies too, but i would never even associate myself with the idea of being a film maker. i would make boring movies on how to spin (because i still am trying to learn how) and we would all have crochet or knit sessions! lol! no one would pay to see them. i would have the world biggest quilting and embroidery session and maybe get my name in the guinness book of world records. I like good movies, but so many of them that I used to go to were such disappointments that I rarely go to movies anymore. I hate it when I'm sitting through a movie, wishing it would end, or that I could leaveThe last movie I saw that I really enjoyed was Bride Prejudice, a Bollywood take-off of the Jane Austin story. The beauty of it, with the gorgeous colors of the Indian clothing was visually stunning -- and it was a sweet story -- though I think it would have been a better film without most of the songs! my favorite movie is still elizabeth with cate blanchet, but legend of sleepy hollow or the caribean pirates with johny depp are excelent and close runners. i think johny depp is one of the most talented people. have you ever watched the ninth gate? he was good in that too. No I haven't seen those -- I'll keep my eyes open! Thanks for the tips!

Re: [lace-chat] Sad Seagull Story
I went to the cinema yesterday to see March of the Penguins (really enjoyed it and the photography is phenominal - narrated by Morgan Freeman). En route, I asked my friend - is it real penguins or animated, he said real - oh good, I thought. When the movie started it came up that it was a National Geographic production. He leaned over and whispered - when you asked if it was real or animated, I was going to say, 'real, like National Geographic'. If you want to see an amusing, but real life film, look out for it - well worth the price of admission.

Re: [lace-chat] Sad Seagull Story
i don't think you would have to train the seagulls. if they saw thousands of little bugs flying in the air, it wight be natural to attack them. lol! the animal cruelty society might have a problem with the film maker breeding 10,000 crickets just to have them slaughtered by the seagulls. but you are right about the movie for utah. i think it would be a nice tribute. you should write one of those local educational channels to see if they might make one. they make better programming than the big network channels. some states do recreations of the civil war, but a big battle like that even if it were fought by animals should have some part in historicallly based movies. i barely remember wathing a story like that on little house on the prairie where the oldest blind daughter left her baby outside and couldn't get to it through all the bugs flying around. i never saw the end of that episode as many times as i watched reruns. for some reason i never caught it. you sound like a movie buff! i like movies too, but i would never even associate myself with the idea of being a film maker. i would make boring movies on how to spin (because i still am trying to learn how) and we would all have crochet or knit sessions! lol! no one would pay to see them. i would have the world biggest quilting and embroidery session and maybe get my name in the guinness book of world records. my favorite movie is still elizabeth with cate blanchet, but legend of sleepy hollow or the caribean pirates with johny depp are excelent and close runners. i think johny depp is one of the most talented people. have you ever watched the ninth gate? he was good in that too. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 8/3/2005 11:33:40 PM Mountain Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: do you remember the old black and white attack of the killer tomatoes where the people run though the town running away from them like people run in the godizilla movies? i have not seen the more current one where they give them mouths and teeth. i can't see anyone taking that movie seriously. at least on the first edition they could imitate that godzilla panick where everyone is running for their lives screaming at the top of their lungs. if you gave them mouths and teeth, it probably just takes away the credibility, not that there was any in the first place.

Re: [lace-chat] Sad Seagull Story
we have those killer bees here and they are horrible. they are a type of honey bee also, but you can assure yourself and anyone else no one will be raiding those hives for honey! i don't think seagulls will ever make it to utah. i think these birds are more of a coastal thing, but then again any water will probably do, so i couldn't say for sure. pigeons are a big problem in the city, but i have never heard of a pigion attacking anyone, and crows seem to be a problem here in tennessee. i've had to walk through a gaggle of them in clarksville, but never attacked by them. the only time i see them is when i've forgotten something important. it is like clockwork! and it never fails. i thought it was strange in norfolk virginia to see gaggles of blackbirds. it is rare that i see them here in tennessee. i know we have them, but not like norfolk has them. they are as bad as pigeons. it is weird that we would have the same birds, but there they congregate in much bigger groups. do you remember the old black and white attack of the killer tomatoes where the people run though the town running away from them like people run in the godizilla movies? i have not seen the more current one where they give them mouths and teeth. i can't see anyone taking that movie seriously. at least on the first edition they could imitate that godzilla panick where everyone is running for their lives screaming at the top of their lungs. if you gave them mouths and teeth, it probably just takes away the credibility, not that there was any in the first place. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 8/1/2005 4:37:11 PM Mountain Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: it's really an orange-red spot on their beak not an red beak and it is where the yound aim at that spot when the mother seagull is feeding them.

[lace-chat] Sad Seagull Story
Hi All, Here in Utah, the Seagull is our State Bird, even though the only sea in sight is now a salt lake. I'll save the story of how the seagulls saved the Mormon pioneers from the crickets for another day. But maybe you'd like this little story A little boy and his mum were walking along the seashore, when they came upon a dead seagull lying on the beach. The little boy asked his mum what was wrong with the bird. She told him, That poor seagull died, and went to heaven to be with God. The little boy thought about this for a minute, then asked his mum, Why did God throw it back down?

Re: [lace-chat] Sad Seagull Story
i have a seagull story that isn't so nice. i think the birds are beautiful, but a little agressive. i was walking to catch the bus in norfolk virginia about 7 months ago at one of mall areas. i can't remember which one, but there is a mcdonalds sitting off to the right that i went to for some fries to eat while i was waiting. i started walking towards the bus stop and pulled my red french fry box out and started eating the fries when a few of them swooped down on me. i laughed and thought oh, just silly birds!, then i walked a few more steps and they started dive bombing me. i tried to run, but it was imposible to outrun about 25 birds. as i was running i put my red french fry container in the white mcdonald's bag and they went away. i went home and told my uncle what happened and he said he never had that experience with them and thought they were such nice birds. we also had a big discussion of what kind of bird they really were since i had never seen such wierd looking seagulls. i have never seen them with the gray and white coloring. i looked them up in a bird watching book that describes their habits and environment and found that he was correct. they were seagulls, and i also found out the color red triggers their eating habits. it comes from when they are young and feeding from their mother's bill. moral of the story: do not eat out of red containers while waiting for a bus in norfolk virginia. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, Here in Utah, the Seagull is our State Bird, even though the only sea in sight is now a salt lake.

Well, Suz, there's one thing you've got to know about seagulls -- not all of them come from heaven, like the ones we have here! :)) (and no, they're not red here) On the brighter side, sounds like your story could be the plot of a great film for the Bicknell Film Festival here, last weekend in Torrey (no relation) Utahalongside the waterskiing cat. http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2005-07-23-bmovie-festival_x.htm (But wait -- I think there was some film kinda like that already!) It could have been worse -- Just be glad you had those french fries to offer -- that's all I can say!

Re: [lace-chat] Sad Seagull Story
i have a seagull story that isn't so nice. i think the birds are beautiful, but a little agressive. In the middle of our town we have a man made lake. Well more of a dirty pond which attracts lots of bird life. In the past year pelicans have started attacking tourists and picnicers at the lake, stealing whatever food they can. It becomes very dangerous when the pelicans start chasing children as they can inflict a lot of damage. One stole a childs wallet last summer. After a couple of stories in the local newspaper all feeding of pelicans was banned at the lake and some of them were relocated. Seems to have stopped the problem. Good story for the local paper though.
