Join me there for posts on my faith, articles on anything, poetry and movies.

Violet Weston: That man! What I first fell in love with was his mystery. I thought it was sexy as hell! You knew he was the smartest one in the room, then he'd just say something and knock you out. He'd just stand there with a little smile on his face and not say a word. Sexy!

Joachim: [not just as subordinate to superior but as son to father as well] We're all with you, sir . . . but consider this. We are free. We have a ship, and the means to go where we will. We have escaped permanent exile on Ceti Alpha V. You have proven your superior intellect, and defeated the plans of Admiral Kirk. You do not need to defeat him again.

Khan Noonien Singh: He tasks me. He tasks me, and I shall have him. I'll chase him round the Moons of Nibia and round the Antares Maelstrom and round Perdition's flames before I give him up!

[No one responds.] 

Khan Noonien Singh: Prepare to alter course.

Fortune: You're 5 foot nothin', 100 and nothin', and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best college football players in the land for 2 years. And you're gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this life, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody but yourself. And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna never happen. Now go on back.

[Marty and Doc observe George's incompetence in 1955]
Dr. Emmett Brown: Which one's your pop?
Marty McFly: [points him out] That's him.
[they see him getting kicked around by other school bullies]
George McFly: [has a "kick me" sign on his back] Okay. Okay, you guys. Ah-ha-ha-ha. Very funny. You guys are being real mature.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Maybe you were adopted.

17 Interesting Facts About My Favourite Film of All Time

THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY

You may know some (maybe all), but prior to posting, I was not aware of a good number of these facts; but, the major thing here is to somehow share the enthusiasm I specially have for this marvellous experience.

Sean Connery

1. Sean Connery turned down the role of Gandalf, because he had never read the books and “didn’t understand the script;” even though he was offered up to 15% of the film’s total box office receipts, which would have been about $400 million (more than any other actor has ever been paid for a single role).

Tatsuo Kusakabe: Trees and people used to be good friends. I saw that tree and decided to buy the house. Hope Mom likes it too. Okay, let's pay our respects then get home for lunch.

The Wind Rises: The Re(al)-view

Caproni: Airplanes are beautiful, cursed dreams, waiting for the sky to swallow them up.

The Wind Rises is not just a brilliant animated film; it has to be one of the finest dramas ever made. And it’s, animation genius, Hayao Miyazaki's final film.

The Expendables 3: The Re(al)-veiw

Barney Ross: Galgo, get out of the seat, Christmas is coming!
Galgo: But it's only June.

The Expendables is based on a simple premise; bring together a bunch of old tough guys (some of whom have amassed an impressive amount of action movie cred), with a script filled with humour and good old-school action - you know, blowing up stuff, wicked gun fights and awesome hand to hand combat that makes all feel nostalgic of the '80s & '90s action films. And it worked for the first two, the third ... not so much.

Bernie Teitel: Nothing better for a prosecutor than a criminal with a sense of history. Everything got written down. Who they killed, and what it cost. Meticulous record-keepers.
