EAT PraY Lurve

I made a mistake today. I did not check the IMDB ratings of a movie that I wanted to see before buying the $10 ticket. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Despite the ratings on the website, the movie was actually fair. Well maybe that's what it is when it's rated 4.7 stars/ten. Lol. 

I think Richard and Katut were pretty funny and there was plenty of advice thrown into the mix. The scenes of the various countries Liz (Julia Roberts) visited were beautiful.

I definitely did get distracted during the movie, however and I agree with user roast-mary1 that there was little variety in characters' personalities.I was also unsatisfied with the ending because I wouldn't have chosen to do what Liz did.

But whatever. It was decent movie entertainment and I think I learned something (just not really sure what).

I am distressed, however, that IMDB only shows one quote from the movie in their quotes section for the film. Maybe I'll do something about that....

Bill of Rights-Two Additional Amendments not Immediately Ratified by the States

I did not know that there were two proposed amendments to the Constitution which were not ratified by the states. "In fact, in the Bill of Rights presented to the states for ratification, the amendment was listed third. Amendments 1 and 2 were defeated and did not become part of the Constitution" (39). I wondered what Amendments 1 and 2 were, so I looked it up.

 

According to the United States House of Representatives' website, the first amendment that was not ratified by the states was an amendment affecting the number of representatives in the House. The second amendment that was not ratified by the states became the 27th amendment in 1992 and is supposed to prevent representatives from raising the salaries of representatives or senators during the time which they are in office. I am not that surprised that it took so long for the amendment to be ratified!
