Wolverine In Exile

b/c I wanted to see if the book really was as insano as the movie. I usually like some moral certitude in my mysteries, and the book provided nothing of that. Outside of that, the only character that comes off any where near sympathetic is Affleck's sister.

The movie is just... yeesh. I would not wish (SPOILER ALERT) what happened to Doogie Howser on any man / woman / child / OSU recruit (too soon?). That was just wrong and the movie captured it in all the nasty gory detail it could. Then when Amy comes home, that's just one cold-hearted chick.

made a movie in 2002 called Lilya 4+ever (Lilly 4ever) that was about an Estonian girl trying to survive in post Soviet Estonia (I think it's based on an actual story about a Lithuanian girl) after her mother abandons her to live in the US with her boyfriend.  The rape scenes in that are just absolutely brutal (and like 5 minutes long, shot POV), but I think it tells the story of human trafficking and how absolutely devastating it often is.  I really like gut wrenching movies, but this is probably the bar for devastatingly beautiful.

He made another movie in 2009 called Mammoth, that is gripping, and remorseful, but very beautiful and does a spectactular job of putting actions to feelings when you are in a place and just want to feel love.

Isn't it noteworthy that an Ohio State signee is working out in a Michigan shirt? Wouldn't it be noteworthy if Tyree Kinnel was rocking an Ohio State jersey today?

Weber grew up in Detroit and was committed to Michigan for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if he owned an MSU shirt as well. What did you expect him to do after committing to OSU? Burn them? Those shirts weren't free. He probably would have been better off giving them away, but he wouldn't be the first person to wear a shirt to the gym that they probably wouldn't wear in public.

exactly. and especially not in public where people could see him and allow an instagram photo of him in said shirt to be posted. further, msu and osu aren't rivals. to me, this is a statement or a kid being extremely naive. i doubt it is the latter given all that has gone down recently and the fact that he grew up a michigan fan.
