We saw The King’s Speech at the 19th St. Theater on Sat, and it was packed.

Stoudt’s looks nice....I never heard of it.

I sometimes go to PA on business and I looked up the Berks Co. tourist site and found Stoudt's. It's a brewery with a restaurant attached.
And the street that it's on is filled with antiques stores, so I was pretty happy. It's worth the trip. The walls are decorated with political memorabilia from the early 20th century. Very nice pub atmosphere, heavy, dark wood, classic pub railing, etc. And the food is great. The beer is even better.

Thanks for the info about Stoudt’s. I’ll have to check it out when I get down that way.
To: All
Looking forward to seeing this. We’re also enjoying Masterpiece Theater’s Downton Abbey currently running on PBS.

The Social Network is about smart young privileged people betraying each other and fighting over money. There are no heroes. You come away hating everyone. No love, no friendships, nothing said sincerely. Its overwritten and glib and cynical, just like Sorkins old show The West Wing. In short, easy to snicker at and digest like the Twizzlers you just bought at the concession counter.The Kings Speech makes grown men tear up and want to have a friend like Lionel Logue and marry a woman like Elizabeth. It never had a chance with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Thanks so much for your info about "The Social Network", Blue Ink. You're right about Aaron Sorkin being a liberal darling of Hollywood. Then again, all the "darlings" of modern-day Hollywood are liberals.
The way you describe Social Network is pretty much the way I envisioned it, based on the clips I've seen of the movie.
P.S. I loathe Twizzlers.
LOL... I'm kind of 50-50 on them, but I avoid them as they're loaded with sugar and carbs.

Sometimes I believe our culture has reached a point so low, so crass, it cannot be redeemed.
Then I see a movie like this, and my fears for the future are arrested, for a bit at least. Wonderful movie, BRILLIANT performances and a great message. I don’t feel that way very often after leaving a movie theater these days.

We stole away this afternoon (my daughter and recuperating husband) to catch the matinee. What a delightful movie! Thank you so much for alerting me to it. I’d see it again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful movie, BRILLIANT performances and a great message. I dont feel that way very often after leaving a movie theater these days. I had the exact reaction you did. I grew up going to the movies, and I often want to go, but there's usually nothing that interests me...
To: Lacey
Thanks for the link. You can actually watch full episodes there.
To: Dr. Scarpetta
A fantastic film. I’m not a big Geoffry Rush fan, but I thought he was unbelievable in this film. The way that he and Firth played off each other was spectatcular.
