Mayka, The title of the movie I've made reference to in several recent emails is FIGHT CLUB. It stars Ed Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bohnam Carter.
I consider it one of the best movies I've seen in the last 5 years or so, but it's not for everybody. It has graphic violence. It also has very dark, satirical humor so it might be hard for a non-native English-speaker to understand. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], Maria Lopez <flordeloto@...> wrote: > > > > > > > Bill; >  > What movie is that?. What is the tittle of the movie?. It sounds good. >  > Mayka > > --- On Tue, 15/2/11, Bill! <BillSmart@...> wrote: > > > From: Bill! <BillSmart@...> > Subject: [Zen] Re: Pain Management 1 - Stopping > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, 15 February, 2011, 9:29 > > >  > > > > Mayka, > > The 3 points you list below aren't specifically referred to in the song I > posted, but there is a scene in the movie that is exactly the same as these 3 > points. > > ...Bill! > > --- In [email protected], Maria Lopez <flordeloto@> wrote: > > > > Bill; > > I don't fully understand the song > > butàI like its straight forward language.àCan you point it out the > > verses you mention in your post?. > > à> > As a response to your mp3 > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FD7HD1iHzw > > à> > Mayka > > à> > à> > à> > --- On Mon, 14/2/11, Bill! <BillSmart@> wrote: > > > > > > From: Bill! <BillSmart@> > > Subject: [Zen] Re: Pain Management 1 - Stopping > > To: [email protected] > > Date: Monday, 14 February, 2011, 0:56 > > > > > > à> > > > > > > > I couldn't help but comment that the three steps you list below are exactly > > the message put forward in FIGHT CLUB...Bill! > > > > --- In [email protected], Maria Lopez <flordeloto@> wrote: > > > > > > Ãâà> > > Pain Management 1 âââ¬" Stopping > > > Ãâà> > > > > > > > > We all have the experience of having experienced pain at certain moments > > > in our lives.
