"what are the two movies?

persimmon? periwinkle? something like that.
and designated Something?"

That was Paprika(2006)

"Three scientists at the Foundation for Psychiatric Research fail to secure a device they've invented, the D.C. Mini, which allows people to record and watch their dreams. A thief uses the device to enter people's minds, when awake, and distract them with their own dreams and those of others. Chaos ensues. The trio - Chiba, Tokita, and Shima - assisted by a police inspector and by a sprite named Paprika must try to identify the thief as they ward off the thief's attacks on their own psyches. Dreams, reality, and the movies merge, while characters question the limits of science and the wisdom of Big Brother. "

The second was called the Designated Mourner written by wallace shawn(My dinner With Andre)

It was weird to see Mike Nichol the director(The Graduate,Working Girl,Charly Wilson's war)

From Roger Ebert

"Well, is it important to understand the poems of John Donne? I write the question knowing that most people will not be familiar with his poems (although the words ''No man is an island'' may toll a distant bell). Last night at dinner I found myself next to a woman who talked about the novels of Henry James, which filled me with gratitude, and then about Cynthia Ozick's essays about James, which filled me with amazement--because unless you are lucky enough to live on a university campus, you are likely to do most of your serious reading in solitude.

I feel, stubbornly, that it is important to read Donne and the other masters because they have thought and written at the highest level about what it means to be alive, to be conscious of choices, to consider the approach of death, and to turn those subjects into meditations that are sometimes true, false, cheerful, sad, ironic, bitter or hopeful. A great writer engages you in a conversation that you are not likely to be able to have with anyone you know.

But we exist under a daily reprieve. We can choose to read John Donne because we live for the moment in a free, stable society that does not make our reading impossible. War, famine or poverty--the conditions under which most people have always lived--would make reading (not to mention intellectualism) an idle fantasy. ''The Designated Mourner'' is about a society that does not like readers, and most of its words are spoken by a survivor who stands a little outside and looks wryly at what happened to the members of his circle. He chuckles sometimes at the entire foundation of his idea of himself. His all-important, precious ''I'' is, he fears, simply a rummage sale of whatever has been shoveled into his memory over the years."

warez

I don't know just what I'm doing
But I'm gonna try for the program, if I can
'cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a app into my drive
And I tell you things aren't quite the same
I just unrar another one
And I feel just like I got me some
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'cause when the download begins to flow
When it shoots down the broadband neck
When I'm closing in on fills
You can't help me now, you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils of this net
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Warez, be the death of me
warez, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a a te line in my house leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off than dead
Because when the cracks begin to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And everybody putting everybody else down

And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
'cause when the cracks begin to flow
And I really don't care anymore
Ah, when that warez is in my drive
And the drive is in my head
Then I thank God that I'm as good as dead
And thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Focus on Venlafaxine Are there withdrawal effects if venlafaxine is suddenly discontinued?
Because of the very short half-life, venlafaxine should be discontinued gradually over at least 2-weeks. If venlafaxine is suddenly discontinued, a withdrawal syndrome involving fatigue, nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, and nervousness, may develop

Effexor XR

EffexorFX - Venlafaxine (Effexor, Efexor) side effects, withdrawal symptoms, patient support

Odd bodily sensation I've been taking Effexor for about four months now
and I believe I've been experiencing some wierd
side effects. When I stare off or maybe zone out, I often feel as if my legs are slowly floating and or moving beneath me. At other times I get a jumpy sort of tick thing going on with my legs. Has anyone else had sensations like these?

quitting effexor > I started effexor 18 months ago at a very low75 mg/daily dose-it didn't help and following a serious incident of self mutilation "they" increased to 250 xr/day. that was awful! the diahrea lasted almost 2 weeks-but I thought maybe I would lose some of the 30 pounds I had gained being on the drug. I love these docs that tell you what your feeling/gaining (weight)/lossing (sexuality)couldn't possibly be because of the drugs! I think they should have to take them to prescribe them. Thank goodness for the postings-I don't feel so alone and crazy! I am now withdrawing on my own and the dizziness, flu-like feeling and fatigue are terrible. I can't wait for this to be over. can any one tell me how long the head-spinning will last? its been 5 days of no drugs. also wanted to know if anyone has experiences the leg jerks, tremors and leg jitters at night like I did. thanks Helena

I AM NOT GIVING INTO TAKING ANOTHER PILL! Well, I posted a message this morning when I arrived at work about myself going cold turkey. I am starting to think that I have made a terrible mistake. Why, well I feel like a walking/stumbling zombie. My eyes are killing me and they take a couple of seconds to catch up with my brain. I have not felt like this before and I wouldnt wish it upon anyone! I dont even think that I am fit to drive myself home, I just want to crawl into my bed and sleep this off. But this is only 48 hours since my last dose and it only seems to be getting worse. I will see how I feel tomorrow, the way that this is going right now the outlook doesnt look so good. I dont think that I will be able to make it to work tomorrow, the way my body is reacting right now is scary and I dont know what to do. I AM NOT GIVING INTO TAKING ANOTHER PILL! I hate myself for ever putting myself on this med and I hate the doctor that said that it is a great pill and not addictive and that is ABSOLUTE B.S.! Now I see how it is for a drug addict to go through withdrawl. This is drug addiction and I hope you all realize that your problem is not only depression/anxiety, now you can add drug addiction to your list. Best of luck to all of you trying to get off this drug and take this as a sincere warning to anyone thinking about taking Effexor

Re: withdrawal I hope this helps everyone who is experiencing withdrawal
because it helped me. I was one effexor for about
7 months and began to wean myself off of it because
I was just too numb. No sex drive, tired, no
emotions. Don't get me wrong, effexor made me feel
a lot better, I just didn't like the side effects.
Anyway, while trying to wean myself off of this
drug, which by the way was MURDER, somehow I caught
a cold. Anyway, you could imagine the pain I was
going thru trying to wean myself off of this medicine
I mean guys, I thought I was going crazy and would
die, I took some Theraflu (nighttime formula). In
less than 10 minutes, and I am not kidding, all of
the dizziness, headaches, swimming of my head,
sweatiness, went away. I didn't know what the hell
was going on. Well, I took the theraflu and Niquil
for about a week, and that was it. No withdrawal
no nothing. Now, I don't know if this will work
for you guys, but it worked for me. I don't know
why cold medicine worked, but it did. I asked my
doctor, and she said she didn't have an answer.
Anyway, I thought I'd let you guys know. I know
how withdrawal is, and I know I would have done
anything to make it stop. If anyone tries this,
let me know if it worked. Good luck.

Re: Whats up with these dreams » AngMoriss AngMorris ~ Freak me out! I just said to my husband this morning, "I wonder if it's the withdrawal that's causing my dreams?" They are so deep and vivid... and weird! I've dreamt the typical ones; pregnant AGAIN, going back to college (YUK), etc. The typical stress ones that everyone has. But then some are just so out of nowhere. I wake up exhausted. Alli.

Re: Whats up with these dreams I have never had that tingly feeling in the back top of my head but oh LORD have I had "the dreams". They're increadible! I share a room with my sister too and she says i do the same. Laughing and tossing and talking and crying and yelling. The dreams are either really nice or really weird or really bad or really sad. When I remember the dreams, I just think to myself "Where in the HECK did this come from!?!?!?!!??!?!" I have had a dream, that the girl with pigtails thats for the Wednys fast food ad, well I was walking down the street and I turned arounf and there was about 6 men dressed up as that Wendys girl, with red wigs in pigtails and all. They followed me home and one came up and tapped me on the shoulder, right before I walked in the door, and said "The next time you hear a knock, and then a scream, it means I'm killing someone". So I walked in the house and right when I put my keys down, I heard a knock, and then a scream. And then I wake up. That was a reacurring dream. Ive had it about 7 times. Now WHAT is up with THAT!?!? hAHHAhhahAH. Just thought I would share my strange dream with you all so you dont think yours are so bad. HAHAHhAHAHaHA.

Re: withdrawal - effexor ...how long?? » Kim Hazell Kim ~ Slowly, but surely! Decreased the amount, added Kava-Kava in the morning, St. John's Wort at night, then started skipping every other day with the Effexor. One week from today I'll be off completely... I HOPE. It hasn't been easy. Yesterday I wasted the whole day in an exhausted daze. Today? It's still early... I could crash in an hour. Good luck! P.S. Read Natalie's post!

Re: withdrawal - effexor ...how long?? Anyone come off Effexor succesfully? How long did it take? Please reply soon!!

Re: withdrawal AngMorris ~ I feel for what you're going through. I am weaning myself off of Effexor, and my doctor suggested taking Kava-Kava in the morning and St. John's Wort at night while weaning myself. I wouldn't go cold turkey if you don't have to. Wish I could mail you my Effexor... I've got 100 37.5 mg. pills that hopefully I will never ever take again. Also, a friend of mine told me about some Stress Tabs that she takes three times a day. I can relate to most of your symptoms... like being outside of yourself. Hang tough! Alli.

Re: withdrawal Guess what! My dad got wsome things worked out so I will only have to finish today without any Effexor! We are leaving tomorrow morning to pick the prescription up at the hosipital! I already have the dizzyness and brain pauses. But knowing Ill have it back in my system soon really helps. I used to think all the withdrawl effects where only mental. Like, stuff I had made up in my head. Kind of like, "power of suggestion". I would know I didnt have my meds, so then the feelings would start kicking in and I thought that it was all things I had made up in my head since my DR told me that there is no withdrawl from it!! I thought I was really insane!I called in sick at work and my boss gave me some crap, but oh well, ill be back there soon. I hope everyone eles is going well!! Kepp all of your heads up = >
