I got in a fender bender two years ago on private property. Can I be sewed?
It was a very minor 5 mph hit, and I dont think a police report was filed but some guy from carpenter law called me and said I had to pay 700 some odd bucks. He said the total cost was 1500 somethin and I had agreed to pay half. I never talked to him before so I don’t know where he got I would pay half. He called me a few days later and I didn’t answer but he left e a message saying since I didn’t call him back it is now being put in litigation. Can he really do anything to me? I was 17 at the time and this is the first I’ve heard about it.
sued sorry lol


Sounds like somebody wants to get some free money. Tell this clown to send you proof of the incident and the supposed agreement you made to pay. If he can’t produce them, tell him to "pack sand".

Anyone can be sewed with a proper needle and thread.

Sewed or sued?

So 2 years later after the accident, they want $700?!? That’s crazy. First of all, they have to prove you caused the damage, secondly, they have prove that the damage they claim actually happened during the accident 2 years ago. That’s virtually impossible to do so they have a very slim chance of winning this in a court case. Also, why is an attorney involved in a $700 claim? That’s not really worth their time.
If you actually get court papers call the insurance company you had at the time of the accident and tell them what is going on. The whole thing sounds very suspicious to me.

What are movies similar to Coraline?
What are some movies that are similar to Coraline? Such as Nightmare Before Christmas?
And please don’t just say Tim Burton films…


Well I think the only person that could make a film similar ISS Ted Burton..
Sooooo

The corpse bride
skelanimals_love | Jan 30, 2010


Nightmare before Christmas is Tim Burton. Well technically he produced it, but still. 9 and Corpse Bride are what I can think of off the top of my head.
POTC fangrl | Jan 30, 2010


9
The Corpse Bride (A Tim Burtin Movie)
and the man who Directed Coraline also directed "A Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach"
justinisloco | Jan 30, 2010


As others had said "9" and "Corpse Bride". You may also want to try "Mirror Mask" or Jim Henson’s "Labyrinth" or "The Dark Crystal" (though not as dark). You could also look into Miyazaki’s movies "Spirited Away", "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", or "Princess Mononoke"

Chronicles Of Narnia is similar. Both characters goes through a door and find themselves in an unreal world.

Plot: Aladdin is a street-urchin who lives in a large and busy town long ago with his faithful monkey friend Abu. When Princess Jasmine gets tired of being forced to remain in the palace that overlooks the city, she sneaks out to the marketplace, where she accidentally meets Aladdin. Under the orders of the evil Jafar (the sultan’s advisor), Aladdin is thrown in jail and becomes caught up in Jafar’s plot to rule the land with the aid of a mysterious lamp. Legend has it that only a person who is a “diamond in the rough” can retrieve the lamp from the Cave of Wonders.

what can i use instead of hairspray?
i am severely allergic to hairspray but my friend is insisting that my hair be put up for her wedding. the problem is that i have shorter/medium hair and cannot just put it in a ponytail. what can i use to keep my hair up instead of hairspray?
when hairspray is used on me my scalp tightens and i get severe headaches that cause me to vomit. i have figured out that i can use hair products that do not touch the scalp but these do not hold as well. does anyone know of anything i can do/use?


hair gel?
Mark Beaston | Feb 08, 2010


uhms if your friend is a real friend, she will let you wear your hair the way you want.. i would not wnat my friend to go through all that. yes i know its her wedding (her big day) but uhms yeahh.. tell her your problem about hairspray..

if she still insist you have your hair up, use mousse, granier extra hold gel (its green with a purple line on the bottle its reallyyyy sticky and good for putting your hair up), spritz (its white with pink design found in the african american hair products side), or gel spray..

Frank Butler, the star sharpshooter in ‘Colonel Buffalo Bill’’s show, however, knows full well that’s not how ‘The Girl That I Marry’ must be. Anyway, not at least until he finds that ‘My Defences are Down’. Though Annie defiantly says ‘Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better’, she realizes that ‘You Can’t Get a Man With a Gun’. The victor at the end is love; as you know, ‘It’s Wonderful’. After all, ‘There’s No Business Like Show Business’.

Directors: Berkeley Busby

Need help picking a good audition song…?
Hey, I need both a ballad and a more upbeat song choice… I am mainly an alto, for an example of my range, I’ve done "Can’t Get a Man With a Gun" from Annie Get Your Gun and "I Love a Piano" from White Christmas… I’m looking for something directors won’t groan at (aka, over used songs, aka anything from Wicked, Hairspray, Rent, Phantom of the Opera, or Grease…)
anyone have any suggestions?
sorry… I am definatly an alto, my range is pretty basic, I can’t go that high…


You haven’t said whether you are soprano, alto second alto, whatever.
This would help a great deal in what you can sing to impress with your voice. I would suggest a song that the octave is very comfortable with the range of your voice. For instance a soprano could get far with "Over a Rainbow" , a second soprano could get far with "Moon River", an alto could pick from a variety of songs like you have mentioned or "Tomorrow", "God Bless America", or "Love Story".
Do you understand what I mean? Good Luck on your pick and kick some butt with your talent.

Walter M- Barbara | Oct 25, 2009


How about something from "Seussical the Musical"
Someone | Oct 25, 2009


Hmm. I had the same problem. I can sing comfortably anywhere from Soprano 1 to Alto 2. You might want to look at "You must love me" from Evita. Very beautiful.

Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins (1964)

IMDB rating: 7.60

Plot: The movie combines a diverting story, songs, color and sequences of live action blended with the movements of animated figures. Mary Poppins is a kind of Super-nanny who flies in with her umbrella in response to the request of the Banks children and proceeds to put things right with the aid of her rather extraordinary magical powers before flying off again.

Directors: Stevenson Robert

Actors: Van Dyke Dick,Tomlinson David,Garber Matthew,Treacher Arthur,Owen Reginald,Wynn Ed,Malet Arthur,Banas Robert,Comedy,Family,Fantasy,Musical,

Is the movie Mary Poppins designed simply to give Americans a view of British society or to satirize it?
Also, would you say the mother’s actions in the movie correspond with her own words of advocation for women’s rights or are they hypocritical?


Personally, I’d say the simple answer to your query is that you’re over thinking a simple, family-oriented film. The character of the mother’s role, though small in comparison to the object of the story, typifies the common practice of early England, that of every family of any real means employing a nanny and being somewhat hands-off in the rearing of their offspring. I don’t know that it was hypocritical as much as it was selfish, the mother devoting little time to her children, yet parading around bellowing about equal rights for women.

| Nov 02, 2009


Well… given that EVERYONE in the movie was British except the freaky parlor guy, I’d say it was a British movie that got popular in America. Interesting theory, if I’m wrong, though.
And the first thing for the details.

Need suggestions for our play of Mulan. Please help!?
Do you guys remember the part where Mulan transforms herself into a man? With the cutting of the hair and putting on of armor and everything. We need suggestions for extra things she can do. :’D

And the part where Mulan, Ling, Yao and Chien Po are bathing in the lake: How can we make it look like they’re taking a bath without taking their clothes off? :P


She could draw on a mustache, and practice walking and talking like a man.

And for the lake part, they could wear cotton undershirts and shorts.
Jenn | Dec 15, 2009


For me its seems a bit awknard with a lake on a stage… Try to use symbols or even have them mimic the bath somehow (and no I am not a director). As for clothes I would try to see if I can make a quick backstage shift to some sorts off swimsuits would do the job for you… And if you want a bit off comedia fun, whats wrong with taking a "bath" with theyre clothes on if some one throw them in or something? Johan.
Johan from Sweden | Dec 15, 2009


You will need a black wig to make it look like the hair was cut.
Make a fake horse for mulan to ride on as she escapes in her house.
Use a thick cloth as a water in the lake that are covering their body to make it look like they are bathing.
