i'm sorry, by some point today, i definitely meant
the next day at 3 am..
anyway. that day was awesome, and so was the night following, when bridge came over and we made awesome chocolate muffins together, watched music videos, walked khaki, and listened to my records: the first half of the pointer sisters' self titled, and a portion of the notorious lightning ep. haha, i prolly could have edited that other entry to include this. ohhh well!
here's an interesting film meme:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
1) person 1: "What is your greatest ambition in life?"
person 2: "To become immortal... and then die"
2) "He takes after you. He likes violent games."
3) "Yeah, seriously, you're totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you shit onto people who know lesser than you."
High Fidelity
4) "I don't give a shit about the barracudas, fuck it! I'm building it anyway."
5) "One thing that comes out from reading these guys is not a sense of anguish about life so much as a real kind of exuberance, of feeling on top of it, it's like your life is yours to create. I've read the post-modernists with some interest, even admiration, but when I read them I always have this awful nagging feeling that something absolutely essential is getting left out. The more you talk about a person as a social construction or as a confluence of forces or as being fragmented of marginalized, what you do is you open up a whole new world of excuses. And when Sartre talks about responsibility, he's not talking about something abstract. He's not talking about the kind of self or souls that theologians would talk about. He's talking about you and me talking, making decisions, doing things, and taking the consequences. It might be true that there are six billion people in this world, and counting, but nevertheless, what you do makes a difference. It makes a difference, first of all, in material terms, to other people, and it sets an example. In short, I think the message here is that we should never write ourselves off or see each other as a victim of various forces. It's always our decision who we are."
Waking Life
6) "I was of the opinion that the past is past, and like all that is not now it should remain buried along the side of our memories. "
Everything is Illuminated
7) person: "Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals!"
group: "Yes! We're all individuals!"
Life of Brian
8) "No, signora, it's poetry. Poetry is never dangerous. My best friends are toreadors. They compose music, write verse, and abhor blood."
9) "They should have a disclaimer that says "Do Not Operate Heavy Machinery While Watching This Show". Incredible. This guy used to put me to sleep when I was a kid. Amazing. He has the warmth of a snow pea. He makes Mister Rogers look like Mick Jagger."
Mrs. Doubtfire
10) "I'm so sorry for what happened between us. I realize what a... terrible mistake... I made with you. And I can... only hope... that you... understand. Be assured you can count on me for excellent references."
Secretary
11) "I got kicked out of university after delivering a brilliant lecture on the aggressive influence of German philosophy on rock and roll entitled "You, Kant, Always Get What You Want". "
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
12) person 1: "You have to make the clitoris your best friend."
person 2: "What kind of friend is always hiding?"
13) "Let me help you. Step down. Here we go! The drum major's widow! She's worn his coat since the day he died. The horse's head has lost an ear! That's the florist laughing. He has crinkly eyes. In the bakery window, lollipops. Smell that! They're giving out melon slices! Sugarplum, ice cream! We're passing the park butcher. Ham, 79 francs. Spareribs, 45! Now the cheese shop. Picadors are 12.90. Cabecaus 23.50. A baby's watching a dog that's watching the chickens. Now we're at the kiosk by the metro. I'll leave you here. Bye!"
Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain
14) "I like your boobs. They're very friendly and unpretentious."
15) "You CANNOT make friends with the rock stars. That's what's important. If you're a rock journalist - first, you will never get paid much. But you will get free records from the record company. And they'll buy you drinks, you'll meet girls, they'll try to fly you places for free, offer you drugs... I know. It sounds great. But they are not your friends. These are people who want you to write sanctimonious stories about the genius of the rock stars, and they will ruin rock and roll and strangle everything we love about it."
