”Oh, I lie now and then, I suppose. Sometimes I’d tell them the truth and they still wouldn’t believe me, so I prefer to lie.”
Antoine Doinel (Les quatres cents coups (The 400 Blows) dir. FrançoisTruffaut, 1959)
Patricia: “What is your greatest ambition in life?”

The Five-Year Engagement (Stoller, 2012)
I enjoyed this movie. Lots of good lines here and there. The minor characters were cast well, too. I can never have too much Emily Blunt.
“Why should I kill myself worrying when I’ll end up just as dead?”
Antonio Ricci (Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thieves) dir. Vittorio De Sica, 1948)

GET OUT
“I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home. Always said you caught plenty, you know me and the girls like fish… So one time I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trip -price tag still on it after five years later- and I tied a note on the end of the line. It said, ‘Hello, Ennis, bring some fish home, love, Alma‘… And then you came back lookin’ all perky and said you’d caught a bunch a browns and ate em up… Remember? … I looked in the case first chance I got and there was my note still tied there. That line hadn’t touched the water in its life. DON’T LIE, DON’T TRY TO FOOL ME NO MORE, ENNIS. I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. Jack Twist? Jack Nasty. You and him…”
Alma (Brokeback Mountain dir. Ang Lee, 2005)
ASIDE: The lush landscapes captured in the long shots were beautiful. Plot might have been a little bit slow for my liking, but all acting roles were spot on; Heath Ledger’s performance is one of the best male performances I’ve seen. And Michelle Williams played her role flawlessly too - for some reason, I felt the worst for her. Also, not as shocking or over-the-top as I thought it was going to be, but maybe that’s cause I’m watching it 7 years later.
Anonymous asked: There's a simple reason for you not caring much for Cabin in the Woods: You thought it was a "little twist" on the teen horror genre. It's not a teen horror, it's barely a horror film. That's the beauty of it.

Hey asshole, I was speaking in terms of a classifiable genre. I also don’t need your pretentious -yet anonymous- lecture on the beauty behind surveillance, survival, or any other overplayed theme that you find enlightening.

“She did you the biggest favor of your life - she taught me everything.”
Skeeter (The Help dir. Tate Taylor, 2011)
“No, you know what? I’m not finished. You think that I haven’t thought this through…You think that-You think that we don’t love each other? You know.. I’ve loved this girl for nineteen years, Ben. That is fully half my life. I know everything there is to know about her. I know the mood she’s in when she wakes up in the morning: always happy, ready for the day, can you imagine? I know that she is-that she is honest, she won’t even take the little shampoo bottles from the hotel room or sneak in to the movie theatre for a double feature - she always buys a second ticket, always. I know that we have the same values. We have the same taste, we have the same sense of humor… I know that we both think that organized religion is completely full of shit.. I know that if she is ever paralyzed from the neck down, she would like me to unplug her, and I will. I know her position on just about everything. I am on-board, I am on-board with everything about her… So you tell me Ben… What better woman could I have picked to be the mother of my child, seriously. What more responsible choice could I have made? Tell me? Fucking prick. Seriously. So whatever happens, whatever the fuck happens, this year or next year or whenever.. we’re gonna be fine, okay?”
