]]> Comment on Skeet Ulrich and me by ZippyTheWerewolf http://www.booberfish.com/blog/2007/02/skeet-ulrich-and-me/comment-page-1/#comment-30778 ZippyTheWerewolf Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:18:14 +0000 http://www.booberfish.com/blog/2007/02/skeet-ulrich-and-me/#comment-30778 My brother had serious and life threatening (not to mention experimental) surgery as an infant. Needless to say, he not only has a stomach full of scars but also claw fingernails on several fingers (due to blood clots which resulted in clubbing of the fingers). Fast forward 30 plus years and my date (now husband) and I went to my brother's house for dinner. I began talking about the scars on my date's stomach and arms (due to being thrown from a vehicle and dragged under the car about 50 feet) and how he was embarrassed to bare his chest because of seams and scars all over his chest and back. So my brother removed his shirt and proudly displayed his quilting of scars, at which point my date reciprocated in kind. My brother tells people curious beach people that he jumped on a grenade and saved his platoon. My husband mows the lawn shirtless and just doesn't care who sees his scars.

I actualy felt more confused during this movie then enlightened, and the confusion did not come from a misconception of what I thought of qm. I understand having to "dum" down the concepts, but when you "dum" them down, the viewer gets a vague description and has a completly different idea from what was actualy being said. It was interesting to watch but I believe they did more harm than good. I would have to agree with you in every aspect you touched on.
