Change your gender or change your sexual orientation? (no cop outs and cant be both)
Salt in My Tears – Martin Briley
Its definitely an “M” but it's not Martin.
Next will be… a fan of Salsa dancing.
Dire Straits – On Every Street
What if he really just wanted me to leave him alone?

Saving Mr. Banks
with Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson (Colin Farrel as the father)What a wonderful movie this was. When it starts there are flash backs between 1962 back to 1909 and you must make assumptions as to who the little girl is, but it's not hard. It is about the author of Mary Poppins and the hoops she made Walt Disney jump through before signing over the rights to her books.
But I was hooked when she said to her agent; “You don't know what she means to me” (meaning Mary Poppins, her creation) And I smiled wide, I know what she means to her.So we are off on this journey through Mrs. Travers' memories of her father and her childhood and we come to learn how and why she created this literary character and in the very end Why Mr. Banks must be saved. I cried many times toward the end because I understood, I could empathize with Mrs.Travers about why we create the stories we do to reshape our worlds and the image of those we love in them. No matter how imperfect they are, we guard them and build different people around them.
For the amount of time Tom hanks is in this film, you may consider him just a supporting character but seeing as he is playing Walt Disney he is the male lead. And many times he tries to convey his love for Mary Poppins and that he can be trusted with her but it isn't until he tells his own story of his father and the childhood he went through that he finally convinces Mrs. Travers that he understands who Mary Poppins is there to save.
I give it a solid “B”
I may have to wait a few months or years but I can see me watching this film again and again.
I can see it becoming a beloved favorite like “To Kill a Mockingbird” (which I have probably seen 20 times)
I shot the sheriff and I also shot the deputy…
Not even happy when it rains, I dont like it when its complicatedhmm
But what if we did start the fire?
