I'll have to agree with Hitler on that one...

...but not on that one...

Are you scared of political incorrectness?

Ryan Bingham - [on getting through airport security] Never get behind old people. Their bodies are littered with hidden metal and they never seem to appreciate how little time they have left. Bingo, Asians. They pack light, travel efficiently, and they have a thing for slip on shoes. Gotta love 'em.

Natalie Keener - That's racist.

Ryan Bingham - I'm like my mother, I stereotype. It's faster

"Up In The Air", the "new" movie starring George Clooney. I don't drink coffee but I recommend this one.

"Nine"

A movie that tries to revive 8 1/2 but that's not worth more than a 7. The editing is quite good but the movie on the whole isn't. If anything makes it worth it is to see Fellini's world recaptured through the lens of morality. Bad Fellini, bad. And there's also the existentialist anxiety... but that was already there in 8 1/2 and La Dolce Vita.

Anyway, if there's something truly interesting in Fellini's movies - and here "Nine" fails completely with it's predictable happy ending - is that "state of suspended damnation, like a work of art - detached".

Elliott Smith died

trying to fit harmony into depression.

THAT'S ironic, Alanis.

Somewhere between

Haneke's The White Ribbon and Exupéry's The Little Prince lies the truth.

"I love your friends, they're all so arty, oh yeah!"

It doesn't matter that you know Anyone in particular if you can't decipher Human Nature in general.

A glass half full, please

No one song can fill the emptiness in me. But I can fill the emptiness in me with the help from all the good songs in the world.

Dear brain, you got me nothing but trouble

I wanna be Stella in Hitchcock's Rear Window:


Jeff: "There's an intelligent way to approach marriage."

Stella: "Intelligence! Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence. Hah! Modern marriage!"

Jeff: "Now we've progressed emotionally."

Stella: "Baloney! Once, it was see somebody, get excited, get married. Now, it's read a lot of books, fence with a lot of four-syllable words, psychoanalyze each other until you can't tell the difference between a petting party and a civil service exam."

Jeff: "People have different emotional levels."

Stella: "When I married Miles, we were both a couple of maladjusted misfits. We are still maladjusted misfits, and we have loved every minute of it."
