10 Great Movies With The Most Enjoyable Conversations
Posted on September 2, 2016 November 2, 2020 by Debasmita Phukan
Conversation is one of the many gifts given to us simply by virtue of being human. From the repartee at a reunion of old friends or pillow-talk between lovers, to intimate tête–à–tête full of scandalous secrets or an all-out political talkfest, conversations are reminders of the wonder that is human interaction.
In this world where each one of us is a unique individual, it's not possible to hold conversations with everyone. However, when we care enough to make that effort, it occasionally creates some wonderful bonds and memories, doesn't it? As Celine, in Before Sunrise, says, "If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something".
My favourite conversations are those that seem to come out of nowhere. Someone would utter a random statement, another would pick it up with a remark, and so forms a thread of responses that would rarely have any binding on the people involved. I'm talking of those ramblings that demand no personal information or seek to fulfil an agenda. And I'm definitely not talking about gossip, or the meaningless small talk that aims to fill awkward silences.
In fact, the conversations I speak of would most likely be considered irrelevant to most. For instance, I'm pretty sure that the topic of tomatoes as the most versatile vegetable, or of the significance of dragons in a fictional world, would seem to be complete nonsense to a lot of people. They probably are. Yet because of their seemingly strange content, the human connection that is created by such conversations is made all the more special; and that connection emits such spontaneous merriment that listening to them could make an outsider wish they were a part of them.
Casual conversations like these are not common in movies. Whatever is spoken is usually crucial to the movie plot (or is thought to be). Still, there are a few films that celebrate this magic of conversation.
Listed below are some of those that I enjoyed immensely. The list is diverse, and cuts across different genres. However, what they have in common is wit and lightness, making them suitable for repeated viewing, and dialogue so eloquent that it's enough to keep an attentive audience enthralled.
10. In Bruges (2008)
This noir dark comedy is the film debut by theatre writer-director Martin McDonagh. Ray (Colin Farell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) are Irish hitmen who have been ordered to go into hiding in the "fairytale town" in Belgium – Bruges – by their ruthless boss, Harry (Ralph Fiennes), after a job gone horribly wrong.
The film wastes no time in telling us that Ray has just murdered two people. What went wrong, why they are in Bruges, what transpires there and the motivations of each of the characters, is what the film reveals through a story full of twists and turns.
Farell portrays Ray as one of the most endearing assholes I've seen on screen. He hates being in Bruges, especially since he has to share his room with the older Ken, and is bored out of his mind. He spends much time sulking like a child as he is forced to go sight-seeing by the happy tourist, Ken.
The clashes the two have in their attempt to find a "balance between culture and fun" make some very amusing interactions. Through their banter, though, we also witness the camaraderie between them; and their conversations, touching upon topics such as death, the afterlife and 'trying to do the good thing', set the philosophical undertone of the film.
We only hear Ralph Fiennes' Harry for the first two-thirds of the film, but he makes up for it by his superlative voice-over. The hilarious way in which he punctuates every sentence with the f-word could give Samuel L. Jackson a run for his money.
The film also includes some interesting secondary characters: a local drug dealer-cum-part-time film production assistant who Ray develops a romantic interest in, a drug-addled dwarf actor who believes there is an impending war between the blacks and the whites, and an arms dealer who concerns himself with the appropriateness of the term 'nooks-and-crannies' over 'alcoves'.
Undoubtedly one of my favourite films, In Bruges is a must-watch for the brilliant performances, a virtual tour of the picturesque Bruges, and the thoroughly entertaining, yet thought-provoking, screenplay.
Note: Watch out for symbolism throughout the movie. In Bruges is part of the centuries-long conversation on repentance and redemption.
9. Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989)
Steven Soderbergh's directorial debut in a feature film, Sex, Lies and Videotape is often credited as having brought independent cinema to prominence. It's a drama which, with a focus on sexuality, tells the story of four individuals.
Ann (Andie MacDowell) is a housewife who believes sex to be overrated. Right in the beginning of the movie, through her session with her therapist, we know that she is no longer physically intimate with her husband.
She, however, doesn't consider it a big deal and concerns herself more with issues such as the accumulating pile of garbage in the world and kids dying of starvation in Ethiopia. Her lawyer husband John (Peter Gallagher), on the other hand, is having a passionate affair with Ann's sister, Cynthia (Laura San Giacomo).
While this arrangement is destined to meet its predictable doom eventually, its fate is hastened by the arrival of John's drifter friend, Graham (James Spader), who videotapes women as they willingly talk about their sexual experiences. With this intriguing set-up, the plot moves to unveil how Graham and his fetish affect the lives of the three other characters.
Contrary to what the title of the film may indicate, Sex, Lies and Videotape doesn't have a single sex scene. There is no nudity, either. Yet, with just the use of speech and a couple of scenes that only imply sexual intercourse, Soderbergh presents a film that oozes with eroticism.
While most of the conversations in the film revolve around sex, the end game here isn't sex as much as intimacy – a universally coveted goal that, as the film reveals, is more likely attained with conversation than sex.
Conversations are rarely about the mere words that are spoken; they involve the sharing of minds. By using the subject of sex, which is usually considered private, this sharing is made even more significant in the film.
Analogous to shedding off clothes to reveal the bare body, these conversations entail baring the deepest parts of the characters' minds – suppressed memories, insecurities, guilt and anxieties – a process that then becomes far more powerful than sexual union.
Through these intelligently scripted conversations, Sex, Lies and Videotape not only reveals the complexities of human sexuality and neuroses, but also makes us question normality.
There is a telling scene where Ann says to Graham, "And what would you know about a normal frame of mind?" To me, this question seems directed to the audience. How much do we really know about others to know what normal is?
Watch this film for its fascinating script and the brilliant performances, especially by James Spader and Andie MacDowell. Or watch it simply as an exercise to open your mind.
8. When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) meet for the first time in 1977, after they graduate from the University of Chicago and share a ride to New York City to start their careers.
Among other things, they argue about the possibility of men and women being friends. Harry believes that "men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way", but Sally disagrees. The movie basically plays out to test this theory.
Several chance meetings later, Harry and Sally finally become friends ten years after their first meeting. Sally is in the 'mourning period' after her break-up with her last boyfriend; and Harry is recovering from his divorce after finding out that his wife was cheating on him.
As the two support each other through this period and spend much time together, they predictably become close friends. Of course, there is always that lingering question of whether the 'sex part' would ruin their friendship.
Reminiscent of Woody Allen's Annie Hall, there is a lot of talking in Rob Reiner's When Harry Met Sally. From arguments about the last scene of Casablanca to concerns about post-coital cuddling, the conversations usually highlight the differences between male and female expectations.
The relatable dialogue and easy humour make these conversations especially amusing. It's no wonder that some of the terms used in the movie such as 'the dark side', 'high maintenance and low maintenance' women and 'the transitional person' have become widely popular.
When Harry Met Sally is probably the easiest watch on this list, with the most conventional plot. It is also the warmest, and radiates with such tenderness that you are left with a smile on your face.
Regarded as one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time, When Harry Met Sally is a perfect movie to watch after a long day. If these reasons don't suffice, watch this film just to see Meg Ryan faking an orgasm in a crowded deli.
7. Gangs of Wasseypur (2012)
Gangs of Wasseypur is a two-part crime saga set in a region of eastern India. Centred on the coal mafia of the region, the film tells the story of gangster Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpai), who seeks to avenge his dead father by destroying mafia don-turned-politician Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia).
Fuelled by revenge, this feud lasts three generations and spans over seven decades starting from the early 1940s. Understandably, what forms is a complex web of plots and sub-plots, yielding innumerable characters.
Gangs of Wasseypur has been compared to many Western classics, especially The Godfather trilogy. It also seems to be influenced by the works of Quentin Tarantino. However, in Indian cinema, it is one of a kind. It has also managed to successfully capture the rustic flavours of India in a way few movies have.
Right in the opening scene, where we see a large group of people crowded in a single room, all glued to the television screen where a popular Hindi soap opera is playing, we know that this film is going to be as authentic as a feature film can be. The conversations in the movie maintain this authenticity. They are almost always crude, sometimes philosophical or dark, often hilariousl, and always very real.
There's a scene where two men start talking about jackfruit and how they like it prepared; this, right when one of them is stalking an antagonist in a vegetable market. The conversation between Faizal Khan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), one of Sardar Khan's sons, and Mohsina (Huma Qureshi) as they go on their first formal date is a laugh riot.
There is another scene where a cannabis-induced Faizal Khan throws a rally of questions at someone trying to explain to him how a pager works.
Conversations in Gangs of Wasseypur, however, serve more than mere comedy. A few of them, albeit still funny, are part of the social commentary that runs parallel to the story.
For instance, exchanges between Sultan Khan and his wife Nagma Khatoon (Richa Chadda) touch upon subjects such as polygamy and sexual norms during pregnancy. 'Bollywood' movies are an integral part of Indian culture and we see its reference in several of the conversations, too. Ramadhir Singh, in fact, credits his longevity to his abstinence from the movies.
Drawing extensively from the region's actual history, director Anurag Kashyap has spun together what is almost a sociological case study that examines the intermingling of politics, capitalism, organized crime and gang violence.
A film of this magnitude could seem unbearably weighty to many. However, the multi-dimensional characters, humour and music provide the necessary balance and make this movie a thoroughly entertaining watch that effectively depicts the futility of violence.
6. Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)
Directed by Jim Jarmusch, Coffee and Cigarettes is a collection of eleven short stories. Each story has a different set of characters, mostly played by celebrities who play themselves.
The film gives an impression that the actors are simply thrown together in a cafe, a diner, a hotel or a break room, and the only props given to them are coffee and cigarettes.
The film is far from being a product of mere improvisation, though. Shot beautifully in black-and-white, nearly all the vignettes are capable as stand-alone short films. The common themes and the enjoyable conversations, however, make the film well-worth watching in a single sitting.
The two common addictions – caffeine and nicotine – are a recurring theme, with the characters talking about subjects such as the idea of caffeine popsicles, the use of nicotine as an insecticide and bedtime coffee to see fast dreams. The idiosyncrasies of the individuals are also depicted by the way in which one takes their coffee or smokes their cigarette.
One of the best stories is the one titled Somewhere in California, featuring Iggy Pop and Tom Waits. While the two musicians are busy trying to one-up each other, they agree on one thing – that they both have to quit smoking; and using the typical rationalization of addicts who relapse following a clean period, they decide that since they are no longer addicted, they can now smoke a cigarette.
Somewhere in California won the best short at Cannes, however, my favourite story in this film is Cousins?, starring British actors Steve Coogan and Alfred Molina. Molina is evidently a great fan of Coogan's and is thrilled at having discovered that they are distant cousins. Coogan, on the other hand, couldn't care less about the meeting.
The push-and-pull of this dynamic, especially when it's so brilliantly enacted by the two actors, makes for a very enjoyable viewing. Also, don't miss Cate Blanchett's double role in Cousins (yes, this is another story), Bill Murray in Delirium as a moonlighting waiter who drinks coffee straight from a jug, and Steve Buscemi's theory on Elvis Presley's evil twin in Twins.
Almost all the stories have contrasting characters who, in some way or the other, completely disagree with the other(s). The chequered tables holding their coffee and cigarettes seem to signify just that.
By using this theme, Jim Jarmusch shows us the unpleasant side of conversations – jarring individual differences, awkwardness, misunderstandings and the subtle power struggle that is occasionally involved. By tackling this aspect with goofy humour, great observation and the quirky characters, Jarmusch makes Coffee and Cigarettes a complete treat.

Doubling your productivity is easier than you think. It's simple, it's about doing less, rather than more. The secret to being more productive, is only taking action from a good feeling place. In other words, act when you feel good. Don't take action if you feel less than good, as the outcome will be less than good. Your productivity is directly proportional to your emotions and vibrations.
When it comes to doing anything, whether it is grocery shopping or having lunch with a friend, i have seen time and time again how much better things go, when i am feeling good. That is because, when we are in a good feeling place, our good vibrations draw to us more good events and circumstances. You are more likely to be drawn to the solution of your problem, in the shortest quickest way possible. In other words, you are drawn to the path of least resistance. The Law of Attraction (LOA) is always acting on your emitted thoughts, positive or negative.
This is why it's important to take action, when it is inspired. When you suddenly get a rush of desire to do something you have been putting of for a while. And if you act on inspiration, you are likely to be met with success.
A recent example for me, is the task of re-evaluating and replacing my credit card. I had been using the same credit card for the past 3 years, but my lifestyle and circumstances had changed, so the card was no longer meeting my needs. But the thought of spending hours on the phone to banks on hold, or online trolling through dozens of banks websites and terms & conditions for each card was not appealing at all. On top of that, i have a Europe trip coming up, for which i need a travel credit card as well. This massive task had been on my to-do list for months but i could not bring myself to start it. Even thinking about it annoyed me.
So i decided to follow my gut and do whatever i felt like instead. And my highest joy was planning my Europe trip, thinking about all the things i would do in the UK and France. It would get me excited immediately and i would get lost for hours, planning my visits to amazing places i had been keen to see for years. I knew the secret to my wellbeing is to follow my intuition and do whatever feels good at the time, so i spent a few days happily planning my trip on TripAdvisor.
Then suddenly i felt the urge to search 'travel credit cards' on TripAdvisor. Within 2 minutes I found a post from someone who had done all the research at the banks and presented the best cards for travel to Europe. This person had saved me days of calling banks and searching blogs! I had effectively allowed the solution i was seeking to come to me easily, through the path of least resistance. To make a long story short, within a day i was approved for the new cards. On top of that my current bank also happily offered to wave the annual fee on my current card, without me even asking!
Previously, if i had forced myself to do this research and apply for new cards, it would have been a very time consuming and frustrating experience. But with the leverage of positive energy, I was able to get to my destination in a quicker and more enjoyable way. Love it!
You know… I never really thought about it till I read your post, but you're absolutely right when it comes to The Law of Attraction! Every time I've procrastinated with things, then forced myself to do them while not in the best mood, I've had little to no success with the results. (Especially since I know I'm fully capable of better results) Yet when working on something entirely different and having some success it… I end up feeling completely inspired, doubling my productivity, doing all those things I tend to procrastinate with, and the outcome is fantastic.

Fernando Botero is famous for his depictions of blimpy figures that verge on the ludicrous. His "fat subject" sculptures and paintings, often humorous, are sold for millions.
Yet he has not shied away from tackling any number of controversial themes, such as criticizing the church and human rights abuses committed by the American government.

is famous for his depictions of blimpy figures that verge on the ludicrous. His "fat subject" sculptures and paintings, often humorous, are sold for millions. Yet he has not shied away from tackling any number of controversial themes, such as criticizing the church and human rights abuses committed by the American government. The extraordinary artist was born on April 19, 1931 in Medellin, Colombia. He started early earning his own money: At the age of twelve, still attending secondary school, he started to paint and to finance his living by doing illustrations and design-work. Because the boy was gifted, He sold some artwork and took part in his first exhibition at his birthplace Medellin when he was 16.
He already found his typical style at the end of the 1950th. His pictures as well as his figures are characterized by his typical language of shapes. His art works remind of the voluminous style of Rubens. A special characteristic of Botero`s artwork includes the illustration of normally skinny people, like dancers or toreros, as chubby individuals. He mentions himself as the most Colombian painter of all Colombian painters. His huge, chubby and flatulently figures are symbols as well as caricatures of the Columbian Colonial-Bourgeoisie.
Nowadays he is living and working in France and Italy. In 2007, the sculptor exhibited some of his famous huge statues in public in front of the Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor). In 2008 the life of the artist, documented by the German producer Peter Schamoni, was shown on July 28 at the International Movie Festival Munich in presence of himself. The movie was named "Botero - Born in Medellin". He is married in second marriage. He had three children with his first wife Gloria Zea and another son with his next girlfriend Cecilia Zambran, but the son of them died tragically in a car accident; Botero got injured too. In 2000, Botero donated to a museum in Bogota 123 pieces of his work and 85 pieces from his personal collection, including works by Chagall, Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, and the French impressionists. He is considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs Elysées in Paris.

WMS Sneak Peek Day 3 - Eat Cake with a Flourish in a Pretty dress!
For my projects today I made two tags- using plain old oaktag shipping tags from Staples!
For this tag - I stamped a flourish from Flourishes - Scallops and Dots on the tag using white pigment ink and let it dry. Then I sponged Old Paper and Milled Lavender dye inks all over the tag which made the flourish show up lightly in the background (do you see it?). Then I stamped the cake and the lovely icing and larger draping from Eat Cake and added some bling. Finally I stamped the sentiment from yesterdays peek, Big Day Additions, sponged it, cut around it and layered it over the tag with foam tape.
My second tag is all about the prom with flourishes, sparkles and a pretty dress!
I used the same process for the flourish and sponging on the tag. The flower, sentiment and dress are from You're Lovely and the flouishes are from Flourishes - Scallops and Dots. I stamped the dress on white, sponged it, cut it out and layered it over the tag.

WMSC Sketch - Ahoy Matey! and a winner!
It's Saturday - again! and time for the Waltzingmouse Saturday Sketch!! We've got another sweet design from Belinda this week!
I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with this sketch - but finally came up with the following card!
A clean and simple card with lots of empty space at the top! I die cut the waves, layering them on the card with foam tape. I stamped the porthole and face, coloring them with copics and slipped it behind the wave. To finish it off I stamped the little fish on the wave and the sentiment directly on the card!
All the stamps are from the sweet little set called Half Pint Heroes.
So why don't you join us in the sketch challenge this week?!! Check out all the details on the WMS Sketch Blog.
My card also works for the CAS-ual Friday challenge - to have a fun edge on your card - hopefully my waves qualify for that?! and also for the SCS Free 4 All challenge - Stripes!

I made this card for the SCS Sketch Challenge this week.
My circus images are from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Isn't this a great set for kids cards?!
I cut my green circle, sliced off an edge of it and cut a slightly larger yellow one cutting the edge with Fiskar's scallop scissors. I embossed the circle with Tim Holtz Checker Board embossing folder.
I colored my circus tent, banners, tickets and letters in the sentiment with Copics.
I used the colors from the Create 4 fun color challenge. Green, aqua and yellow.
Thanks for stopping by today! See you tomorrow for the WMS Saturday Sketch!
A Biker, a Dog and a Skateboarder!
I've got three cards to share today - all using Rubbernecker Stamps and all from challenges over at Split Coast.
This first card was made for this weeks Featured Stamper challenge. We got to check out Tami Mayberry's lovely gallery and pick one to CASE.
I chose her Enjoy the Ride card as it reminded me of this dapper on a bike stamp I recently got from Rubbernecker.
When you CASE a card you have to change some things - so I changed the image, the colors and stamped an argyle background instead of scoring lines but kept her theme and basic sketch. The image and sentiment are stamped directly on the patterned paper.
My next two cards were made for the Featured Stamper challenge of a week ago - Stamper Camper (Mary) had so many fun cards in her gallery - I CASED two of them!
I used a cute little doggie and dog sentiment from Rubbernecker instead of a bird and I used a brick wall embossing folder instead of swiss dots.
For my last card - I CASED Mary's On the Grow card.
I used a little skateboarder named Billy and sentiment from Rubbernecker instead of the motorbike, different colors and a star instead of a bow!
It's always good to have some kids cards handy in my stash! I didn't have too many kids stamps but with these fun new Rubbernecker kids stamps my supply has grown!
Before I go - I'm so excited and happy to announce that we have added 5 wonderful card stamping artists to the Rubbernecker Design team: Holly McMillen, Jen Cuthbertson, Judy Rozema , Charlene Driggs and Kecia Waters. You're probably very familiar with several of them already! You can see the whole Rubbernecker Design Team listed on my side bar along with links to their blogs.
Remember to check this post for your chance to win a WMS stamp set! You have untill Friday to leave me a comment!
ETA: I was thrilled to find out my card was chosen as Customer Card of the Day over at the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog today - you can check it out here!
Both of my nieces (my sister's daughters) have new baby boys - Katie and Greg have 9 month old Landon and Christie & Nate have 3 week old Sweet Baby James. So I just had to make Father's Day cards for the new dads! And I made them as if the 'boys' were giving them to their father's.
Here's Landon's card to his dad, Greg.
Isn't he a little doll!?! I just love him to pieces (Landon that is!) and he just happens to be sporting cool blue star sunglasses that his Great Aunt Julia (ie ME) gave him at our Memorial Day cookout! And notice how I had the perfect paper to match his shorts??!!
And here's what I stamped on the inside bringing the star theme inside too! These great stamps are from a set called Father Figure by Verve.
Next up is the card from Sweet Baby James to his Dad, Nate. James is just the sweetest little thing, not even 1 month old yet - he has really long fingers (maybe he'll play the piano??!) and seems so tiny next to his cousin Landon!
As you can see - Nate and James spend a lot of quality time together - catching up on their sleep! I thought these pics were so sweet of the two of them.... I used the same stamps on this card.
Wishing a Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there!! Remember to hug your kids today!
And don't forget to check out this post for a chance to win a WMS stamp set!
Today I'm participating in the Friends of Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz taking place in the Playroom of the WMS forum. You can check out all the details there. This month's theme is 4th of July Americana! Get out the RED WHITE AND BLUE!!! And.......... Uncle Sam!
I actually CASED one of my own cards from May 31, 2009 when I first stamped the gingerbread man as Uncle Sam. I thought he was SO cute - I just had to recreate him today!
One lucky participant in the Blog Waltz will win a Waltzingmouse Stamp set of choice!! whoo hoo!! I'm off to check out all the other waltzers! You coming???
Here's a fun gift idea for Dad for Father's Day - or any day!
I painted an unfinished wooden container from Michaels with brown acrylic paint and then adhered this fun ruler paper on all sides cutting it slightly smaller then each panel.
I stamped a grid background and Dad's Stuff , both from Waltzingmouse, on a Nestability scalloped tag and sponged the edges. Then I just tied a rope twine around it and tucked the tag under the rope.
This would be great on Dad's workbench or desk to hold all those little things needed at arms reach!
I made this card for last week's Featured Stamper over on Split Coast.
I really need some little girl cards for my stash - so I chose this sweet Fairy Birthday Card of Taylor's to CASE. I used different stamps and placed a heart behind my sentiment but kept her basic theme and design!
My colors are from the Create 4 fun color challenge - pink, green, neutral.
Accessories: Copics: E00, E35, G21, B00, R20k, RV32, C1, mega rectangle Nestability, heart punch - Marvy Uchida, small oval punch - SU, tiny gems - Taylored Expressions, foam tape, quicky glue pen, wrinkled seam tape, rose on wire from packaging of wrinkled seam tape.
Happy Saturday dear stamping friends - Belinda designed our sketch this week - take a look!
I used 3 Waltzingmouse stamp sets on my card - can you guess them????
The flowers are from Teeny Trees, the gingham panel is from Gingham + Co. and the sentiment is from Say it Loud! You knew all that right?!?!
I hope you'll try the sketch this week - check out the WMS Sketch Blog for all the details.
And here's some news about the WMS forum gallery - Are you a member of the forum?? check out this notice from Anya! This will go live on Monday.

Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Teeny Trees, Say it Loud, Gingham + Co.
Paper: DCWV textured pink card, Vintage Cream - PTI, green - Core'dinations.
I made this pretty flowered card for 3 challenges - the Tuesday Teapot Challenge on Split Coast was to bring flowers to the party - so I made this lovely layered flower using Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. I'm sending this card to Lindsay - along with all the pieces to make another card just like it so Lindsay will have something to help keep her busy while she's having some medical treatments - you can read all about it at SCS in the forum.
and I used only a sentiment - no other stamps - for the Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge. I used this lovely Bible verse from the Scripture 1 Collection. I thought it complimented my flower nicely!
Let the Heaven and Earth Praise Him!
As part of the Design Team for SNSS - Today is my day to post to the Sweet 'n Sassy Blog - and this is the card I've posted over there.
I stamped the sentiment on white card stock, cut it with a Fancy Tags 2 by Spellbinders, sponged the edges before removing it from the die and adhered it to the card using foam tape.
I stamped the shells and starfish on the same dotted Bazzill as the panel, cut them out and adhered them also with foam tape.
I added some black pearls to the starfish and tag to finish it off!
Stamps: Sweet n' Sassy Stamps - Beauty by the Sea.
A Whale of a Good Time - Friend to Friend!
I've got some new Rubbernecker Stamps and couldn't wait to ink some of them up!
I made this card for last weeks sketch challenge over at Split Coast.
I used a cool new background stamp called Crackle Panel behind my little whale. I stamped Mr. Whale on a light gray cardstock and colored him a bit with light blue Copics. I cut him out and layered him over the stamped panel with foam tape. I added some blue gems and applied Glossy Accents to the water 'blow'. I stamped the coordinating sentiment directly on the panel and added some blue gems there as well.
This cool style card was the Wednesday SCS Tutorial last week - it's called a Center Step Card! I just had to try this out!
You can find the tutorial for this fun style card here in the forums of Split Coast. Here's a side view.
I knew this sweet little Hannah image would fit perfectly on the front panel! I stamped the image with Vintage Photo Distress ink and then colored her a little bit with my Copics. I cut the image with a square Nestability and sponged the edges with Antique Linen before taking it out of the die.
The sentiment is cut with a Lacey Square Nestability. The pretty dotted DP is Webster's Pages.
This card was really easy to make - you should try one! It is larger than an A2 card - lying flat it measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" so needs an oversize envelope or to be hand delivered!
A Trigger, Something Cool and Christmas Cactus!
I have three cards to share today!
My next card was created for the Split Coast Inspiration Challenge - Our inspiration was the Daniel Maher Stained Glass Studio.
And here is the card I created using Waltzingmouse Free Spirit Boy and Free Spirit Sentiments.
And my last card was made for the Waltzingmouse Forum Christmas Card Challenge for May (I'm a tad late!) The challenge for May was to use trees on our card - I used cactus as my trees! Here are my 3 versions of the same design using Waltzingmouse Way Out West and Compliments of the Season.
Accessories: large scallop die -Martha Stewart, Rhinestone - Kaiser, Tiny Gems - Taylored Expressions, foam tape.
Accessories: Tiny gems - Taylored Expressions.
Welcome to the last day of the Waltzingmouse Stamp of Approval Parade - today all of the Design Team is parading the Free Spirit - Boy stamp set. Check the end of my post to see how you can participate in a parade challenge!
First off - I made a graduation card.
This could be for a high school or a college grad! I love the skateboarder and bike stamps. My design is today's Waltzingmouse Sketch - and since this is a long post - I'll let you just check out all the details about the sketch challenge here.
A lot of people travel during the summer - so I created this fun Route 66 card.
I used my newly acquired Spellbinders Elegant Posts die and some cool road map patterned paper.
And my final offering for you is a cool summertime surfer card! I just can not open this set up without using the fun surfboards so here's a surfing card!
First, I embossed a square Nestability on my card. Then I stamped the boards directly on the patterned paper and adhered it inside the frame. I die cut the waves and adhered them over the panel with foam tape. I added one little blue gem to the flower on the surfboard. An easy peasy design!
So there you go - I hope I've given you a little inspiration for using this wonderful masculine stamp set!
The competion will close at 8:00 AM Claire's time (Ireland) on June 10th (3 AM Eastern, 2 AM Central and Midnight, Pacific time).

Conservatives Love McSally's Brutal Media Diss
As Congress once again attempts to pass legislation that would potentially nullify hundreds of millions of arbitration agreements in consumer contracts, they should carefully review the mounting evidence that verifies the benefits of arbitration.
This week, the Searle Civil Justice Institute, a unit of the Northwestern University School of Law, released an independent study confirming that the 84-year old arbitration system remains a fair, inexpensive and unbiased option for millions of American consumers.
Undertaking one of the most comprehensive empirical research projects to date on the use of consumer arbitration, Searle analyzed hundreds of cases brought before the American Arbitration Association (AAA), a leading provider of arbitration services. Unlike previous studies, which only looked at credit card arbitration cases, this study reviewed cases involving a wide array of goods and services across the economy.
Refuting the myth about arbitration's price tag, the data reveals that consumers paid an average of only $96 in cases with claims of less than $10,000 and $219 for claims up to $75,000.
Not only is arbitration relatively inexpensive, the Searle study shows that it provides consumers a level playing field in dealing with businesses—even those businesses that regularly use arbitration to settle their consumer disputes. Consumer claimants seem to fare just as well when dealing with businesses that had never previously been before an AAA arbitrator as those who were repeat customers.
Most importantly, the Searle analysis demonstrates that arbitration provides consumers true access to justice. In the cases it tracked, consumers won relief in more than 53 percent of the cases they filed, recovering an average of more than $19,250. Additionally, AAA actively promotes consumer fairness by strictly enforcing their due process rules and refusing to administer arbitration in cases where businesses were repeat violators of the AAA's protocol.
Now that Searle has analyzed the cost and fairness of the arbitration system, it has announced that its next step is to examine how consumer cases are resolved in the courts. That comparison data could add to the growing body of evidence showing that, for most consumers, arbitration is a better way to resolve disputes than being forced into court.
The Searle analysis comes at a key time in the arbitration-versus-lawsuit debate.
Over the past few sessions of Congress, those that favor more lawsuits, with the help of the American Association for Justice (formerly known as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America) have pushed bills that would effectively wipe out arbitration.
This includes the ironically named Arbitration Fairness Act, sponsored by Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and Congressman Hank Johnson (D-Ga.). This bill would bring "fairness" to the arbitration system by invalidating all arbitration agreements in current consumer contracts and prohibiting future consumers from agreeing to arbitration up front.
The national trial lawyer lobby has said that eliminating arbitration is one of most important steps Congress can take. But important for whom? Consumers or the trial lawyers themselves?
The fact is, removing alternative dispute resolution forces the consumer with the average complaint into one of two bad options: receiving less money in a settlement as part of a class action lawsuit; or, having no access to justice because the dollar amount of the case is less than the cost of litigation, so no lawyer will take the case.
During a hearing last year, Congressman Johnson admitted that his special interest legislation is designed to encourage the filing of class action lawsuits. His bill would open the door for trial lawyers to bundle together the most lucrative cases that can be turned into class action suits—reaping huge fees for themselves but only pennies on the dollar, or sometimes just coupons, for their clients.
A lawsuit against Blockbuster Video demonstrates this strategy. The company settled a suit over excessive late fees, and the class members were awarded coupons for free video rentals, while the lawyers representing them pocketed $9.25 million in cash.
But in many instances, consumer disputes against companies are unique and cannot be lumped together into massive class action suits. If anti-arbitration legislation is enacted, these consumers would be forced to wait until their cases are heard in already overwhelmed state courts—that is, if they can find a lawyer to take their suits.
Studies have found that, at least in the employment context, plaintiffs' attorneys generally require upwards of $75,000 in potential damages before they are willing to take a case—and there is no reason to think this is limited solely to employment cases. Common sense tells us that lawyers cannot take on small consumer cases if they cannot make a profit off them. Yet, eliminating arbitration would force all consumers to either give up or navigate the legal system without the aid of an attorney.
Trial lawyers and their friends have been peddling studies and anecdotes to make the case for anti-arbitration legislation. The Searle study—which looked at a broad array of disputes, including credit card cases and cases involving products and services across the economy—refutes their contentions that arbitration is costly for consumers and biased in favor of businesses.
Before passing far-reaching legislation that would effectively eliminate arbitration, Congress owes it to the American consumer to look past the rhetoric and examine all the facts. If they do, they will find there is good reason that arbitration has been around for 84 years. It helps consumers by providing them a path to justice other than the one through our overcrowded courts, where the only sure winners are the trial lawyers.


The mind behind the creation of Casino Schedule Ease.
Although confined to a wheelchair, Tony was never deterred from being the best that he could be. He overcame great odds, graduating from Holy Spirit High School with a perfect math SAT score, then on a full academic scholarship Tony graduated from Stockton State College in 1985 with a degree in computer science.
Tony held a position at Atlantic Electric after college, which he left in 1993 to found GEC Computer Systems and shortly thereafter began work on Casino Schedule Ease. Tony was taken from us in January of 2010, but his legacy lives on.
You may or may not be aware of the very sad news regarding my brother Tony; he passed away unexpectedly on January 18th, 2010. I cannot express in words how profound of an effect this has had on our family and me.
Tony conquered every obstacle life threw at him, without ever complaining. In fact, whenever someone would broach the subject of obstacles, Tony would immediately let them know that he had none!.. He never wanted to be reliant on anyone and was an entrepreneur on so many levels. Tony was the best brother anyone could ask for. He never complained and he was always willing to give of himself, whenever he could. Tony was hard working and extremely proficient in computer programming, as I'm sure many of you are aware (aka Genius as his friends knew him). Tony moved back home to New Jersey on December 17th 2009, it was great to have him home again as we celebrated Christmas for the first time as an entire family since he left for Vegas back in 2001. We are all very grateful that he returned home. It was wonderful.
Tony's passing has been emotionally painful for all of us-family and friends. We will never forget him.
I invite you to read the article the Press Of Atlantic City wrote about Tony in 2001, this was right before he left New Jersey for Vegas, it explains much of his life and how he overcame every imaginable hurdle. The Grillo family members are better people because of Tony and it was the love of our parents and their tenacity that keep us strong.
Please keep Tony in your prayers.
Kelly is Tony's brother and now carrying on Tony's legacy by continuing to improve and support the Schedule Ease line of products. He is an entrepreneur who has a long history with business practices and custom applications and currently a partner in www.racko.com, a computer hosting company.
Kelly has over 25 years of experience, starting out as an Electrician and Contractor, naturally migrating to the Internet and Data Center management industry. He has owned and operated several successful businesses over the years and understands how to make his customers and clients happy.
Although Tony's passing left the Schedule Ease line with an uncertain future, Kelly had assisted Tony with enough of the day to day activities of GEC Computer Systems, he knew exactly where Tony wanted his creation to go and how to make it better. The current Schedule Ease is the culmination of many conversations between Tony and Kelly. "I could have never realized how important our casual conversations would become, I hope I'm making Tony proud!".
Paul Spinosa is a Casino Scheduling Expert with over 20 years of experience in scheduling at one of Atlantic City's longest running casinos. That casino was one of the early adopters of Schedule Ease (in the mid-90's) which allowed Paul to work directly with Tony to help drive the direction of the product line. Paul is not only the Subject Matter Expert for Schedule Ease, but also the lead trainer.
If you should happen to be trained by Paul, you will quickly learn that he will not only show you how to implement and use the software, but he will also help you change your scheduling routines and processes to be more efficient using the full spectrum of features available in Schedule Ease. Paul will also not only show you how to create your scheduling roadmaps, but he will build them with you. By the time you are done working with Paul, you will be able to sit back, enjoy, and watch your casino's scheduling practically run itself.
We are lucky to have Paul on board, he brings experience to our team that is invaluable.
The next generation, Kelly began his career with CSE in 2014, from the ground floor shadowing the operation and its processes, he has compiled a vast knowledge of the scheduling software and its functionality, making him a key member of the team.
Through his experiences he is now quite adept at handling any questions about the software and provide solutions to your inquiries.
If you are an existing customer you unknowingly have already spoken or heard from Kelly as he is our expert videographer for our support videos.
Being the next generation Kelly will bring cutting edge innovation to keep CSE on the forefront of this growing technology as we move to the future and make his Uncle Tony proud!

Chicago cop shoots teenager, then sues victim's family for emotional trauma
Chicago police officers line up outside the District 1 central headquarters at 17th and State streets, on Nov. 24.

By Colin Daileda 2016-02-08 16:39:30 UTC
A Chicago police officer who fatally shot a 19-year-old and his neighbor is suing the teenager's estate, alleging that the December shooting caused the officer "extreme emotional trauma."
Officer Robert Rialmo seeks more than $10 million in damages in what is technically a countersuit. The father of 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier filed a wrongful death suit after the shooting.

"That's a new low for the Chicago Police Department," said Basileios Foutris, the lawyer for LeGrief's father.

LeGrier called 911 three times in the early morning of Dec. 26 to tell the dispatcher someone was threatening to kill him, though he didn't specify who. The first dispatcher hung up on LeGrier, and he had to call back twice before a third caller sent a police car to check out the situation.
LeGrier's father, Antonio, also called 911 that morning to tell police that his son had a baseball bat and was trying to break into his room.

What happened after Rialmo arrived is somewhat unclear. Rialmo said the teenager twice swung at his head with a baseball bat just outside the apartment complex. Rialmo then fired eight times, killing LeGrier and LeGrier's neighbor, Bettie Jones. Jones was standing behind LeGrier when a bullet ripped through him and hit her in the chest.
Antonio LeGrier said his son was inside the building when Rialmo opened fire, and that his son was not threatening the officer.
The teenager had been acting strangely for several months before the fatal encounter, according to police at Northern Illinois University, where LeGrier was an engineering student.
He had shouted profanities at his dorm cafeteria and then hit a cafeteria employee when she asked to see his student ID. When police came to arrest him, he told them "I am God."
LeGrier also chased after a female student and, when stopped by police, again said "I am God." He also told them he was in "outer space."
The city of Chicago has tried to clean up the image of its police since November, when the city was court-ordered to release video of former officer Jason Van Dyke fatally shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times during on Oct. 20, 2014.
The Chicago police superintendent resigned as a result and there have been calls for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to do the same.

Concerns have been expressed over the condition of Maidenhead Railway Bridge following its upgrade to Grade I-listed status.
Ernest Kohout, who has lived near the landmark for 42 years, contacted the Advertiser because he fears plants and weeds growing from the brickwork could lead to structural damage.
The red brick bridge has also been a target for graffiti artists.
"It's disgraceful. It's just getting worse and worse," he said. "You wouldn't get Stonehenge looking like that."
The 75-year-old, who lives off Chauntry Road, believes the problem has worsened over the last 10 years.
He said work had to be carried out on the bridge a couple of years ago because a tree was damaging the brickwork.
"The whole of the parapet will eventually have to be rebuilt if they don't act," he added.
The grandfather-of-two, whose own grandfather was a railway engineer in his native Austria, has always been fascinated by trains and railways.
"It's a beautiful bridge," he said. "There must be a remedy."
The bridge had its protected status upgraded following a consultation by English Heritage which saw more than 40 railway structures either listed or re-graded.
Built by the father of railway engineering, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, between 1837-39, it is believed to have the longest and flattest brick arches ever built and was previously Grade II*-listed.
Responsibility for its upkeep lies with Network Rail.
A Network Rail spokesman said: "Our priority is to run a safe and reliable railway. The bridge is inspected annually to ensure it remains in good condition.
"We carry out maintenance when necessary to keep vegetation in check. Longer term we hope to permanently remove buddleia that is growing in the bridge structure. This is a bigger job so we'll combine it with Crossrail works that are planned for the bridge over the coming years, so as to reduce disruption to the railway.
"We recently cleaned Maidenhead viaduct to remove all graffiti. We're investigating the latest case, with a view to taking action to keep the viaduct looking its best."

To Heck With Deer Hunting
By Jim Zumbo
This second in his series of books that look at his many deer hunting experiences with deep emotion and in others a profound uplifting sense of humor, Jim Zumbo captures the same high drama of hunting relationships that characterized his first in this series, "To Heck With Elk Hunting." Over a long career as an outdoor writer Jim Zumbo has hunted deer in just about every part of the North American continent. In "To Heck With Deer Hunting" , he starts at the beginning – as a teenager in his home state of New York, shares the excitement of moving west as a young forestry graduate, and then captures, in 31 chapters and 206 pages, dozens of episodes that will sometimes make you laugh and on other occasions strike a deeper nerve, such as the story in which he shares the experience in which one of his daughters gets her first deer. More than 50 photographs, 206 pages. Hardcover only.

Congratulations! You are ready to buy a home. Purchasing a home is an exciting life milestone and is a huge decision with so many factors to consider. Finding the right property can be a challenge for growing families. What may seem like a good fit now may not be the best choice for your family in the long run.
Neighborhood - Do your research before looking at homes in neighborhoods that aren't convenient for young families. Look into school districts, local parks, neighbors and proximity to doctors and hospitals. Consider the length of your commute to work so that you can maximize the amount of time you have to spend with your family.
Space – How many kids do you want to have? Simple things like sharing a bathroom or closet space can become a hassle in the long run. Families with small children might want to look into an open-concept floor plan for safety reasons. A designated playroom might be a smart idea for your family, or maybe you'd prefer two levels instead of three. List out what your priorities before making the move.
Affordability - Now that you know what you're looking for, the next step is figuring out what type of home you can afford. A review of your income, savings, monthly expenses and debt will be necessary. Use our Affordability Calculator!
Offer - Once you've found your ideal house, it's time to get started with the financial and contractual side of the purchase. Let your CENTURY 21® real estate professional guide you through this process. Purchase contracts vary in length and terms from state to state, and sometimes within a state. Multiple offers on the same home are not uncommon, so you may only get one chance to make an offer that the seller will consider. That's why it's important to think carefully about your strategy. In most cases it is better to have your real estate professional present the offer. Learn more here!
Inspection – Once you've made an offer, hire a professional home inspector to give the house a standard inspection and make sure that it is a safe home for your family.

Honkin' on Bobo is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band Aerosmith, released on March 30, 2004, by Columbia Records. The album includes 11 covers of blues and blues rock songs from the 1950s and 1960s, with one new song, "The Grind". The album pays tribute to Aerosmith's earliest influences and showcases a rawer sound when compared to their more recent commercial efforts. Honkin' on Bobo was produced by Jack Douglas, who was Aerosmith's producer on a vast majority of their 1970s output.

The album sold over 160,000 copies in its first week, reaching number five on the Billboard 200. Honkin' on Bobo was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on May 11, 2004.

Background
After their departure from Geffen Records in 1994, the band wanted their next record to be a blues album. "Then," said singer Steven Tyler, "we caught wind that Clapton was doing it, and we went, 'Fuck!'… We did such incredible research for this album, too… We also thought about our roots, about paying homage to the stuff we loved: early Yardbirds and all. Some of Little Walter's early stuff. Really obscure names… I did some digging around myself in Chicago. We had some great songs to work with – and then Clapton came along and did it."

Honkin' on Bobo was recorded in Joe Perry's ranch near Boston, with the band committing to playing only when they were in a good mood. "We wanted to do something we haven't done before and that excites us," Perry said. "That's what makes us want to do another record. Otherwise, we'd say, 'OK, we've done everything we can do, so why bother even going in again?'"

The album title was suggested by Tyler, who had heard the phrase before, possibly the song by Canadian country/bluegrass band The Good Brothers, and amused the band with it. Perry stated during a radio interview, "We just know that it's a phrase that sounds... jazzish, nastyish, so it works for us."

Many tracks feature harmonica by Tyler, including Little Walter's "Temperature". This was played on an episode of the House of Blues Radio Hour that was about the harmonica. A harmonica keychain was included with the limited edition version. Provisional artwork featured the cover's harmonica stuffed into a model's denim cutoffs. This was vetoed, said its proponent Tyler, "because I'm in a band with four other guys."

"Stop Messin' Around" – a Fleetwood Mac cover, sung by Perry – had never before appeared on an Aerosmith album, despite being a staple of the band's concerts for more than ten years.

Reception

Metacritic gave the album a score of 69 out of 100 based on 12 generally favorable reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said that the album is the best the band has done since Pump in 1989, and that it cannot be called a "blues" album because it is a rock album. He called the album a "surprise" in that, even though the album's artwork and title are bad, it marks a return to Aerosmith. In his Blender magazine review of the album, Jon Pareles said that the band did their blues album different from most others because, instead of making "respectable" cover versions, they make quite unrespectable cover versions like "You Gotta Move". The album, to him, proves that Aerosmith can still rock. Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly felt that the album didn't live up to what it should be because it is too loud, but some songs on the album are good.

David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine wrote an article for the magazine comparing and contrasting Aerosmith's Honkin' on Bobo and Eric Clapton's Me and Mr. Johnson which also explored blues influences. He said that Clapton's album was mostly about pain, while Aerosmith's album was about sex and running away from lovers. He also considers Bobo to be a double-tribute album – one tribute to the original musicians and one tribute for 1960s blues-rock bands – and considers the album to be overdone, which is what Aerosmith is good at.

Q: What is the most efficient way of counting occurrences of a bunch of specific keywords in pandas? I know the way of getting the count of a specific keyword in pandas dataframe, but I am wondering if there is any efficient way of getting counts for each one of the set of specific keywords all together instead of doing one by one?

A: This is not a great question because there's so little detail, but I'll assume you have a series of strings, each of which contains some "words" separated by "delimiters", and you have a master list of keywords that you want the count of in each row? In that case,
>>> import pandas as pd, re
>>> s = pd.Series(['a,b', 'b,c', 'c'])
>>> s
0    a,b
1    b,c
2      c
dtype: object
>>> keywords = ['a', 'b']
>>> pattern = re.compile('|'.join(map(re.escape, keywords)))  # Form regex matching any keyword
>>> s.str.count(pattern)
0    2
1    1
2    0
dtype: int64

A: If need count number of kewords from column not per each row like another anser, but total:
One possible solution is join values of column with space and split, for count use Counter and last filter in dict comprehension:
from collections import Counter

L = ['aaa','bbb','ccc']

c = Counter((' '.join(df['words'])).split())

out = {k: v for k, v in c.items() if k in L}

Modification - first split, then filter and last count - better if many unique words in real data:
out = Counter(x for x in (' '.join(df['words'])).split() if x in set(L))

Another pandas solution is first reshape, then filter and last count:
s = df['words'].str.split(expand=True).stack()
out = s[s.isin(L)].value_counts()

Timings:
Depends of number of words in list L, length of DataFrame and number of unique words, so in real data should be different:
df = pd.DataFrame({'words':['aaa vv bbb bbb ddd','bbb aaa','ccc ccc','bbb ccc']})
df = pd.concat([df] * 10000, ignore_index=True)

from collections import Counter

L = ['aaa','bbb','ccc']

c = Counter((' '.join(df['words'])).split())
out = {k: v for k, v in c.items() if k in L}
print (out)

s = df['words'].str.split(expand=True).stack()
out = s[s.isin(L)].value_counts()
print (out)

In [6]: %%timeit
   ...: c = Counter((' '.join(df['words'])).split())
   ...: out = {k: v for k, v in c.items() if k in L}
   ...:
24.8 ms ± 276 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

In [7]: %%timeit
   ...: s = df['words'].str.split(expand=True).stack()
   ...: out = s[s.isin(L)].value_counts()
   ...:
145 ms ± 865 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

My husband and I worked with Tyler, selling our first home together. Tyler helped us navigate through lots of difficulties, whether it was a making improvements to the property to contract issues to working with difficult buyers. Tyler also worked incredibly hard to get our house shown and also to do it in the best light; Tyler has the knowledge and experience on how to take beautiful pictures of homes, to really get people interested in your property. We had lots of showings with Tyler as our agent. If things did not work out with a buyer, Tyler stayed positive and kept us going. He never gave up and came up with new ideas of how to better market our property. He is incredibly knowledgeable about our community and real estate. We will definitely be using him again and have recommended him to all our friends and family.

Beacon-Light, The Life of William Borden (1887-1913)
Author: Belmonte K
Publisher: Christian Focus Publications
The fascinating story of a young millionaire whose short life was lived in the service of his Lord.
Although William Borden was taken from this world at the young age of 25, the years he lived were full of dedication to serve. Kevin Belmonte draws on letters, quotations and images to paint a unique picture of William's life of commitment to God, delving into the ways 'vital truth,' as William called it, was the star he reckoned by. In the telling of the life story of William Borden, there is much to learn about living a life of devotion to God. The desire to live for Christ guided and shaped William's life, from his school days, right up until his death.
With insightful extracts of letters and telling photos, the reader is taken on a journey through William's life, from The Hill School, to Yale, to Princeton Seminary, and the beginning of his missionary training. Reading this book will give a wonderful view into Borden's world, to know something of the voices and scenes he knew. A vital part of William's life was his 'Morning Watch' (or what he also called his 'breakfast') – feeding on and contemplating the Word of God and growing deeper in his faith. It's a privilege to have this unique insight into his life, and an inspiration for readers to strive to live such a life of devotion themselves.
