Maybe psychiatrists R. D. Laing is right war is rational he found correlation fights between parents between wars in the world in general, so maybe seven years war between royal family nobility, the one family member dismembers other family member is rational (so Napoleon Bonapart was not so bad he destroy royalty despotism and dictatorship). Or maybe who owns more peasants and land is more powerful <l got more square footage> movie War of Roses quote - @Saturday, October 28, 2017 12:07 PM

Where I went to school,they had a man like Danny DeVito they called the Toad,I don't think DeVito would like being called Toad.This guy was a math and history teacher and the basketball coach,picture DeVito being a basketball coach.His favorite line when he was pissed was "Ill kick your ass in your ears"I think DeVito would use that line - @Sunday, April 16, 2017 3:28 PM

Most to all marriages begin in a feeling of a fairy tale and end of up a horror movie. Usually the wife turns into a very very mean spirited and spiteful person. Like a tall child with no responsibilities for her actions. - @Sunday, January 22, 2017 2:50 PM

This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I've probably watched it 30 times. Absolute "black comedy" classic. When Douglas starts chugging the Gatorade I almost fall over every time. - @Thursday, April 9, 2015 9:11 AM

Saw this movie several years ago. I had no idea it was supposed to be a comedy. Same thing with "The Graduate", didn't find out it was a comedy until long after seeing it. - @Monday, September 8, 2014 8:14 PM
