Comment on fearless flying by LyndaJean Henzie

I feared the dark…and spiders. So I went on a VisionQuest, spending 4 days fasting with no tent or fire; with just a journal in the Vermont wilderness. Throwing myself out in trust that I would be embraced. I was. I met a moose and a black bear. I danced by the lake singing with the loons. I shared my grove of birch trees with a barred owl. I am no longer afraid of the dark or spiders. I also embraced me, my art, my middle-aged menopausal self. That was 5 yrs ago. I feared losing my Dad to the cancer inside of him. I worked with the hospice caregivers; I spent hours and minutes and seconds listening and speaking with him. I was there at the very end of his journey…and I was no longer afraid; I had been given such gifts. That was 2 yrs ago. So, here I am: an artist, a potter, my mom’s caregiver, an empty-nester, a woman almost at the end of menopause…and married to an amazing man. Dare to not fear…fearless @53!

You want to cut something? How about cutting 10 Best Picture nominees back down to 5? How about cutting some of the commercials? How about cutting some farts?

(Sorry, I ran out of ideas and regressed to about 3 years old there for a sec. My apologies.)

I agree with you full-heartedly. An unbelievable slight to the people who have worked for years (and in some cases, decades) honing their craft — that they can’t have the opportunity to thank adequately the people they love if they need it; to have their moment in the sun — which for many, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And to turn their microphones off!! Yet they found time for Neil Patrick Harris to do a little song and dance. What the *&%$# WAS he doing there?!!

Comment on 4 women walk into a bar… by Jane

I don’t know the answer but I have experienced the same thing. When my best girlfriend drives somewhere I sit quietly in the passenger seat, watching the scenery go by. When my husband is driving I am a lunatic. And even if I force myself to not say a word, I am close to giving myself stroke from keeping it all in. Same is true for when I am a passenger and my children (21,23) drive. But not with my friend. What IS that?

Comment on what if “the hurt locker” had been directed by a man by Moe

I loved Hurt Locker. I was shocked that a woman had made it. I recently watched a doc on Bigelow and was shocked to learn her age and that she had only made 8 other films. Many of which I had watched and enjoyed (Blue Steel, Point Break, Strange Day, K-19).

Originally I wanted the film to win because it was good and second it was an independent. I love it when indie films surpass perceived expectations. Then I found out that Bigelow was attached and she would be the first female director to win. And I thought, it shouldn’t matter but cool, it’s a milestone. But then I heard Cameron pretty much imply that if she won it would be because she is a woman and would be hailed as the first woman director. The guy’s a conceited douche. Bigelow definitely deserves it.

BRILLIANT ANALYSIS! I saw The Hurt Locker and it was amazing. I am so JAZZED that a female directed this film and you are so right on about how different it would have been had a man directed it. I hope she wins.

Comment on breaking through the looking glass by Charlotte

Heights are one of my biggest fears too. I stay near the wall at Elevated train platforms. My knees buckle if I have to walk a flight of stairs that have no backs and I can see through them. If I’m in an elevator and it shakes slightly or it takes too long for the door to open after it stops, all the blood rushes out of my face and I’m white knuckling it the rest of the way up or down. I’m certain the cable is going to break at I will go plummeting. I wonder, “If i jump up just before the elevator hits the basement floor, will it keep me from breaking every bone in my body? Will I live?”
