Well done. That movie is one of my all-time favorites.

I'm sure the kitty didn't appreciate being named "Renesmee" and decided to act accordingly.

I still cannot get over "Renesmee." For that reason (among many others), I will not be watching this movie.

Fists can actually be classified as "deadly weapons" under the right circumstances (at least in NY crim law, probably in other states as well), although I don't think that would have been the case here, unless she was some sort of martial arts expert or pro boxer.

Saying "no" is absolutely an option, unless she is willing to discreetly help you shoulder the burden (which she should do if she really wants you in the wedding). I mean, if she is clamoring for an extravagant wedding with $500 bridesmaid dresses, she can't just expect that everyone will have that kind of cash handy…

Good for you. It's nice to feel strong and confident, isn't it? Added bonus: once you stop wasting time on duds, it frees you up to meet/date all kinds of cool people.

I have the same problem with the Godfather (Parts I and II) - if I see it on TV, I will stop to watch no matter that I have seen both films a hundred times. In fact, my father and I were once late for dinner reservations because, as we were putting on our shoes to go out, my dad flipped on the TV and Godfather II was…

It really annoys me when people act shocked at the thought of someone affirmatively choosing not to marry and/or have children. Different strokes for different folks.

Hmm. Maybe when she (inevitably) brings it up again, say something to the effect of, "yeah, being a bridesmaid can get kind of costly sometimes, unfortunately. I'm feeling the pinch too, but hey, I'm sure it'll be a fun time" and then steer the conversation to another topic?

I know, right? She can never simply give credit where credit is due when she loses. Mentioning that break point on the podium was totally inappropriate - what a brat.

Oh yeah. She's an awesome tennis player, but her entitled attitude and unsportsmanlike conduct really annoys me. I prefer Venus, who is much classier on and off the court, imho.

What? No, that is not an issue for me. I don't promote often, but I do when I see a great or particularly incisive comment, even if I didn't start the thread.

Why can't you just date him casually for a little while and see where it goes? Just because you're dating someone doesn't mean you'll end up married to him, but if you do find that you like him enough to get serious (and the feeling is mutual), then that's great too. Either way, you win.

I'm pretty sure that's the British equivalent of a bachelorette party, no?

There's something to be said for a life of adventure and surprises - at least you'll never bore him :)

That's a misconception. There's an art to reading a crowd and playing the right kind of music that is guaranteed to get people moving. I was at a club the other night and the DJ was a testament to this - he kept hopping from genre to genre and then, just when he had started to play some good music, killed the mood…

Please tell me this is a joke, hahahaha! Oh man, I'm dying of laughter over here.

They don't (I'm Greek, which is how I know).

With respect to #3, I've said many times they should just call the show "Jack and Karen".

Only in "South Park", and only as the name of a bar catering to lesbians.
