Great thoughts on this! And thank you for the links to my review too.

I can answer the Guy Pearce one. Originally there were going to be scenes with him as a younger man. They all ended up on the cutting room floor, leaving only the ones where he was older.

I missed so many nuances of this movie. You've really got me thinking about the Vickers role especially. I should have caught that if nothing else.

Until I read this, I didn't think anything would induce me to watch the movie again. Now I want to, so that I can follow your psychological pointers to their conclusion. There's a depth here that I missed in disappointment the first time around.

LOL! I have a Physicist friend who was ranting about the 'science' in this movie. He was pointing out how illogical it is. Now I have your medical knowledge doing the same. It's hilarious. I'm just glad that it didn't have a real world history element, else I'd probably be joining you both in the academic rolling of eyes.

Could a catch all response be good for the interim? Write a comment saying, 'Wow! Thank you all for your lovely comments. It's going to take me some time to get around you all, but I do appreciate the time you took to respond.'

Then reply to them all at your leisure.

Inreresting!

Thanks, Jo. Readers are definitely the Kings and Queens in this gig! I'll try to come up with some kind of strategy for managing it better :)

I've heard quite a bit about ghostly callers on the line. There's so much there that I'm tempted to devote a whole article just to that phenomenon.

I love your story! I've have been so disappointed, if I hadn't got t hear it. But it sounds like your poor mother was half scared to death.

Thank you very much. :)

I do hear you and I sympathize. I can't imagine having so many comments a day to respond to. But you have to think of it like this - each welcome that you give to a reader is potentially another word of mouth reader coming in.

It is a dilemma, but erring on the side of the reader is always good. At least it is to my mind. Good luck with it all.

I firmly believe that the blue stuff (the light blue, not the dark blue) is best. The green stuff is not good at all and I've never even heard of red chalk (for billiards) before.

I find EVPs most interesting. We caught one on our answering machine once. The phone didn't ring first instead what my mother said was an inhuman voice came across the answering machine (this was at around 3am). Unfortunately she deleted it because it creeped her out before I had a chance to listen to it. Interestingly this occurred on the anniversary of her mother's death (so we figure she hung up on her mother LOL)

Congratulations, Jo. You're doing so well :) I hear you about the replying back to comments issue and it's something I struggle with because I have articles across several writing platforms and blogs - it's coming close to 1000 pages in all. I try my best to reply to every comment but certain times like when I had Lens of the Day on Squidoo recently throw me for a loop. I had over 200 comments on one article in 24 hours (in addition to all my regular comments) and it took me a long time to get back to everyone. All the replying back can detract from writing new content. Sometimes I feel tempted to turn comments off even. So it is a bit of a dilemma.

I consider myself extremely patriotic! I love the United States of America; I support our troops, and help our veterans. I fly the US flag 365 days a year, along with the POW/MIA flag. How can we not be proud to be Americans? Nice, nice article!

Nice tips! I'm bookmarking this for future use. Thanks!

They sound beautiful! Home accessories from your family are the best. They hold so many memories and stories. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Best wishes

I liked the look of your introductory photo, and started reading your hub. I am amazed to find that I have several, not just one, in the style of these vases. I think mine are probably just reproductions, but, hey, who knows, maybe some of them are real! It doesn't matter really, because I'm not planning on selling them, as they adorn my home and were passed to me from my family.

It's an interesting field. I swing back and forth on what I think is going on.

Ooooooooo Interesting. I'll have to check this out!
