I'm back! Yes, I've been away. *mock-glares at those who didn't notice* I've been ill, actually, taking after Joey I suppose, although not as bad as her. I thought I was recovered today, however, but going out grocery shopping left me feeling all woozy and I'm staying in tonight as well. Grompf. I'm teaching tomorrow at 10. Not fun. But I like that pupil, at least.

And I thought, what better way to come back than a movie quote meme? Gakked from too many people to remember who was first or what.

1. "Don't you just take the past, and put it in a room in the basement, and lock the door and never go in there? That's what I do."

The Talented Mr. Ripley, by [livejournal.com profile] the_grynne

The Wisdom of Crocodiles, by [livejournal.com profile] heikki_cheren

3. "Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough."

A Knight's Tale, by [livejournal.com profile] the_grynne

4. "Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those tiny, white pants. It's just so illogical, about being a Smurf, you know? I mean, what's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?"

Donnie Darko, by [livejournal.com profile] the_grynne

5. "Half of writing history is hiding the truth."

Dogma, by [livejournal.com profile] jade_plume

9. "I'm going to give you the choice I never had."

Interview with the Vampire, by [livejournal.com profile] the_grynne

10. "I believe in love. Not just getting it, but giving it. I think that if you're able to love someone, even if they don't know it, even if they can't love you back, then it's worth it."

Gosford Park, by [livejournal.com profile] jade_plume

11. "Ah, but that's why it's so brilliant." "'Cause it's so pathetically dim-witted."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, by [livejournal.com profile] stampinground

12. "One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness." "Though it seems enough to condemn him."

Gattaca, by [livejournal.com profile] the_grynne

15. "My first rule of thumb, I don't say where I'm going or where I'm coming from. I try to leave a little reputation behind me, so if you really need to you'll know how to find me..."

GIP. Because it's been a while since I professed my Drew love. (Probably didn't help that his Alias ep sucked that badly. Wasn't on top of his game, my man wasn't. But still I remain his faithful minion.)

Ten years ago or so, I had a character whose species for whom breathing and heartbeats were also something they had to remember to do. So, that line rang a bell the first time I heard it. ;-) And, yeah, even without that, it's a heartbreaking moment...

(I obviously modified the structure of my first sentence mid-way through it... It doesn't make much sense anymore, duh! *eg*)

Heh. And still, thanks to my amazing intelligence (don't laugh at me now, will you), I understood. *beams* And, yes, heartbreaking. It's just, god, the way he delivers that line. How much of himself he puts into it. Jude Law is a hell of an actor.

Ah, now I'm jonesing to watch that movie again, except I have a lesson to prepare for tomorrow, at 10, and... argh. Working is not so good as all that. In some ways.

I will have to re-watch IA one day. I wasn't fond yet of Jude Law back then, and I missed his performance. I assume I would like it now.

I saw it again a few weeks ago, at someone's place. I picked it because I thought I had missed the beginning (and, huh, I still can remember where it was. Toulouse, second one-month-long stay there). So I found out I had indeed missed... oh, at last thirty seconds. Maybe even a whole minute. I dunno how I could like without having seen that bit, it's awful. ^_^

Huh.... Is he/she living far away?
Does he/she need to improver his/her understanding of oral english? I heard watching to some not dubbed films could help.... *eg*
