Yesterday I attended an advance screening of 50/50, the new Seth Rogen film starring Joseph-Gordon Levitt as a 27-year old cancer patient.
It’s obvious from the marketing that this movie is taking a more lighthearted approach to this terrible disease.
(Actually, Seth Rogen’s involvement alone is a pretty big clue.)
I smuggled my bear Snuffles into the theatre with me. As you may recall, Snuffles was a huge help to me and my family when cancer changed our lives forever 20 years ago. And I valued his opinion of the movie’s success or failure in its quest to portray a cancer patient as he encounters the painful hurdles (and unexpected hilarities) on the road to wellness.
Snuffles posted his movie review below:
Shockingly, we are in agreement on all points. That’s some bear.
(We’ll work on the lighting next time.)
Everything in moderation
I don’t run. I don’t spin. I rarely ‘feel the burn.’
But I can walk tremendous distances…and living in New York City, often find myself doing so on a daily basis.
Lucky thing.
Told ya.
The study also revealed that women who exercise at moderate levels were more likely to stay active over time — take that! — and those who worked out more vigorously reported feeling ‘sad or anxious’ afterward.
(It’s that burn thing — I’m telling you.)
But does more ‘energy and confidence’ mean that moderate exercisers are more fit? Not necessarily, says Penn State.
Well, DUH.
All you have to do is take a look at the arms of a super exerciser like Kelly Ripa or Madonna to know that a woman who kicks it harder is gonna be more ripped.
But is she happier? Penn State says no.
And to make myself feel better, I’m going to go with that.
