“Harvey Dent: Cut it out. Just look at me and have your laugh. Get it over with. At least both sides match now, right? Look at me and have your laugh. Who are we kidding? They couldn’t fix me. Nothing can change what I am.

Batman: You and me both.”

“Alfred Pennyworth: You’re not even close to fully recovered.

Bruce Wayne: Neither is he.

Alfred Pennyworth: He doesn’t need a walking hospital bed to keep his insides together.

Bruce Wayne: I know you’re not looking forward to your part in this.

Alfred Pennyworth: I can’t say it will be pleasant. But it does fall within my duties.”

“Kids” (1995) Director: Larry Clark

“When you’re young, not much matters. When you find something that you care about, then that’s all you got. When you go to sleep at night you dream of pussy. When you wake up it’s the same thing. It’s there in your face. You can’t escape it. Sometimes when you’re young the only place to go is inside. That’s just it - fucking is what I love. Take that away from me and I really got nothing.”

Rating: ★★★☆☆

(Side Note- I like the feel of this film, it has a natural flow it kind of makes you feel like you’re watching a documentary of teenage youth. The acting is sometimes hard to watch - not because its bad but just because of the raw nature of the things the kids are doing. Kudos to Harmony Korine writing this when he was 18.)

“Barbara Covett: Well, that’s when you should’ve stopped it.

Sheba Hart: I did! I told him I wouldn’t teach him any more. But he refused to accept it, he just kept coming back. It began to feel like our secret, and well, secrets can be… seductive.”

“Running with Scissors” (2006) Director: Ryan Murphy

“Dr. Finch: Well, the only loophole or way I could see me getting you out of school for any considerable length of time would be for you… to commit suicide.

Augusten Burroughs: You want me to kill myself?

Dr. Finch: Well, if you tried to kill yourself, I could explain to the schoolboard that you were psychologically unfit to attend, and that you needed intensive treatment. It would a staged suicide attempt. Of course, your poor mother would have to find you and drive you the hospital, where you would stay for three weeks or a month for observation.

Augusten Burroughs: I don’t know. It doesn’t…

Dr. Finch: Augusten. Where is your spirit of adventure?”

She moved into the city to find work and I never heard from her again.”

[David goes to leave, but Mia grabs his arm]

Mia: No! You don’t understand. There was something in the woods… and I think it’s in here with us… now.

Rating:★★★☆☆

(Side Note - I know a lot of people hated this movie because they keep the original at heart, but i think that Raimi left it in good hands. I don’t know what he would have done better to equal his original masterpiece. I feel very strongly that Raimi’s input is in here. I think that the film was shot nicely, some of the acting surprised me, though it was nothing to special. The cinematography was beautiful to watch. If i could i would give this 3.5 stars. I had a smile on my face the whole movie.)

“Spock: We are traveling at warp speed. How did you manage to beam aboard this ship?

James T. Kirk: Hey, you’re the genius. You figure it out.

Spock: As acting captain of this vessel, I order you to answer the question.

James T. Kirk: Well, I’m not telling, “Acting Captain.” What, did…?

[Kirk smiles]

James T. Kirk: What, now, that doesn’t frustrate you, does it? My lack of cooperation? That-that doesn’t make you angry…

Spock: [Spock turns to Scotty] Are you a member of Starfleet?

Scotty: I, um, yes. Can I get a towel, please?

Spock: Under penalty of court martial, I order you to explain to me how you were able to beam aboard this ship while moving at warp.

Scotty: Well…

James T. Kirk: Don’t answer him.

Spock: You will answer me.

Scotty: [pause] I’d rather not take sides.”

“James T. Kirk: Let me explain what’s happening here: you are a criminal! I watched you murder innocent men and women! I was authorized to END you! And the only reason why you are still alive is because I am allowing it. So SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

Khan: Captain, are you going to punch me again, over and over, until your arm weakens… clearly you want to. So tell me, why did you allow me to live?

James T. Kirk: We all make mistakes.

Khan: I surrendered to you because, despite your attempt to convince me otherwise, you seem to have a conscience, Mr Kirk. If you did not, then it would be impossible for me to convince you of the truth. 23174611. Coordinates not far from Earth. If you want to know why I did what I did, go and take a look.

James T. Kirk: Give me one reason why I should listen to you.

Khan: I can give you 72. And they’re on board your ship, Captain. They have been, all along.”

“Shameless” (2011-Present) Created By: Paul Abbott

“Steve: Do you know why doctors, lawyers and nurses are great liars?
Debbie Gallagher: No
Steve: Because they lie to help people. Like, a doctor wouldn’t tell a sick patient, “Too bad, you’re gonna die.” He would say, “We’re doing everything we can.” Wouldn’t he?
Debbie Gallagher: Yeah?
Steve: So, pretend you’re being a doctor today and tell a doctor’s kind of lie. Can you be a doctor for me?
Debbie Gallagher: Can I be a nurse?”

Rhodey: It’s who?
Tony Stark: Oh, I’m sorry, it is ME. You asked. What your asking about, it’s me.
Rhodey: No, you see, this isn’t a game. You do not send civilian equipment into my active war zone. You understand that?

“Senator Stern: My priority is to get the Iron Man weapon turned over to the people of the United States of America.
Tony Stark: Well, you can forget it. I am Iron Man. The suit and I are one. To turn over the Iron Man suit would be to turn over myself, which is tantamount to indentured servitude or prostitution, depending on what state you’re in. You can’t have it.
Senator Stern: Look, I’m no expert…
Tony Stark: In prostitution? You’re a senator. Come on.”

“Julia: I don’t know what happened. But you are not who you think you are. Jack, we were here. You asked me to meet you and brought me up on top of the world. I could tell you were nervous that day. It was right here, Jack. You said: Look through here…
Julia, Jack Harper: [together] … and I’ll show you the future.”
Rating: ★★★☆☆

(Side Note - I wish i could give this three and a half stars because i got really into this film. Just the look of it got me into it, its just so beautiful to look at, the scenery is beautiful. Kosinski has stated that this film is a homage to late 70’s Sci-Fi films and it kind of shows in some points. The film brings nothing new to the Sci-Fi genre but i think that it will stand alone. Though i feel the film got thinner and thinner towards the middle of the film and i think i would have to blame Olga Kurylenko, i didnt really believe her character as much as Riseborough. That said this film is still enjoyable as i said it got me into it. Surprisingly i liked Cruise in this and i don’t really enjoy his movies.)

“Perfume: A Story of a Murderer” (2006) Director: Tom Tykwer

“Giuseppe Baldini: Now pay attention to what I tell you. Just like a musical chord, a perfume chord contains four essences, or notes, carefully selected for their harmonic affinity. Each perfume contains three chords: the head, the heart and the base, necessitating 12 notes in all. The head chord contains the first impression, lasting a few minutes before giving way to the heart chord, the theme of the perfume, lasting several hours. Finally, the base chord, the trail of the perfume lasting several days.

Giuseppe Baldini: Mind you, the Egyptians believed that one can only create a truly original perfume by adding an extra note, one final essence that will ring out and dominate the others. Legend had it that an amphora was once found in a pharaoh’s tomb, and when it was opened, a perfume was released, after all those thousands of years, a perfume of such subtle beauty, and yet such power, that for one single moment every person on earth believed they were in paradise. 12 essences could be identified, but the 13th, the vital one, could never be determined.”
