movies

Avoid the tyranny of the reasonable voice...it will guarantee a complacency of never trying anything adventurous...

Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them.

Sometimes, watching a movie is a bit like being raped.

I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day!

I don't like zombie movies, they're just plain silly.

Summer flings always seemed amazing in movies, though that might be because the leading man did not ever call his romantic interest "dude.

[Talking pictures are] like putting lip rouge on the Venus de Milo.

In the heat of battle it ceases to be an idea or a flag for which we fight. Rather we fight for the man on our right or left. When the years fall away, all that remains are the memories of those precious moments we spent side by side.

I am slightly offended by the way busy working women my age are presented in film. I'm not, like, always barking orders into my hands-free phone device and telling people constantly, "I have no time for this!" I didn't completely forget how to be nice and feminine because I have a career.

I am easily moved to tears and rarely survive a visit to the cinema without shedding them, racked, as I am, by the most perfunctory, meretricious or even callously sentimental attempts at poignancy (something about the exterior of the human face, so vast and palpable, with the eyes and the lips: it is all writ too large for me, too immediate for me.)

Another thinks that moving pictures will destroy the book trade. What rot! Surely everything that arouses people's minds, that makes them alert and questing, increases their appetite for books. - Roger Mifflin

Oh how Shakespeare would have loved cinema!

Every search for a hero must begin with something which every hero requires - a villain.

Bruce Wayne/Batman: A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat on a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

I know the best moments can never be captured on film, even as I spend nearly half my life trying to do just that.

What makes movies magical is not that incredible things happen in them. Incredible things happen in real life. No, what makes movies magical is they end right after the incredible thing happens.

He blamed television, movies, and books for his love of ghosts. It was a fascination that__ been with him since his youth. He always loved watching or reading anything that had to do with ghosts and haunted locations, especially historic sites like New Orleans, Salem, Tombstone, Gettysburg, and Old San Juan.
