966. "I know what you're thinking--did he shoot six times or only five?"

That's a great bit of dialogue. I love the whole thing.

"I know what you're thinking, "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kind of lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum — the most powerful handgun in the world — and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?"

And the whole time the guy is laying on the floor in terror. :D

I guess I just miss my friend. " - Red (Morgan Freeman), Shawshank Redemption

963. "A substitue teacher out on Long Island was dropped from his job for fighting with a student. A few weeks later, he returned to the classrom, shot the student—unsuccessfully—held the class hostage, and then shot himself... Successfully. This fact caught my eye; last sentence, Times: 'A neighboor described the teacher as a nice boy; always reading Catcher in the Rye. This nitwit Chapman, who shot John Lennon, said he did it because he wanted to draw the attention of the world to Catcher in the Rye; and the reading of this book would be his defense. Young Hinckley—the 'wiz-kid' who shot Reagan and his press secratary—said: 'If you want my defense, all you have to do is read ... Catcher in the Rye.'
<font color=282828>—</font>"I borrowed a copy [of the book] from a young friend of mine, because I wanted to see what she had underlined; and I read this book to find out why this touching, beautiful, sensitive story published in July 1951 had turned into this manifesto of hate. I started reading; it's exactly as I'd remembered; everybody's a phony. Page 2: 'My brother's in Hollywood being a prostitute.' Page 3: 'What a phony slob his father was.' Page 9: 'People never notice anything.' Then, on page 22, my hair stood up; remember HOlden Caulfiend, the definitive, sensitive youth wearing his red hunter's cap?: 'A deer hunter's cap? Like hell it is. I sort of closed one eye, like I was taking aim at it. This is a people-shooting hat. I shoot people in this hat.' This book is preparing people for bigger moments in their lives than I had ever dreamed of. Then, on page 89: 'I'd rather push a guy out the window or chop his head off with an ax, than sock him in the jaw. I hate fist fights. What scares me most is the other man's face.'
<font color=282828>—</font>"I finished the book, it's a touching story; comic because the boy wants to do so much and can't do anything; hates all phoniness and only lies to others; wants everyone to like him, but is only hateful and is completely self-involved. In other words: A pretty accurate picture of a male adolescent.
<font color=282828>—</font>"And what alarms me about the book—not the book so much as the aura about it is this: The book is primarily about paralysis, the boy can't function; and at the end before he can run away and start a new life, it's starts to rain and he folds. Now, there's nothing wrong in writing about emotional and intellectual paralysis. It may, indeed, thanks to Checov and Samuel Beckett, be the great modern theme. The extraordinary last lines of Waiting for Godot: 'Let's go.' 'Yes, let's go.' Stage directions: 'They do not move.' But the aura around this book of Salinger's; which—perhaps—should be read by everyone but young men is this: It mirrors like a Fun-<font color=d0d0d0>H</font><font color=d0d0d0>ouse</font> mirror and amplifies like a distorted speaker one of the great tragedies of our times: The death of the imagination. Because what else is paralysis?
<font color=282828>—</font>"The imagination has been so debased that imagination... Being imaginative, rather than being the linchpin of our existence now stands as a synonym for something outside ourselves. LIke science fiction or some new use for tangerine slices on raw pork chops. 'What an imaginative summer recipe.' And Star Wars, 'so imaginative.' And Star Trek, 'so imaginative.' And Lord of the Rings, 'all those dwarves; so imaginative.'
<font color=282828>—</font>"The imagination has moved out of the realm of being our link; our most personal link with our inner lives and the world outside that world—this world we share. What is schizophrenia but a horrifying state where what's in here [our minds] doesn't match up with what's out there? Why has imagination become a synonym for style? I believe the imagination is the passport that we create to help take us into the real world. I believe the imagination is merely a phrase for what is most uniquely us.
<font color=282828>—</font>"Jung says the greatest sin is to be unconscious. Our boy Holden says: 'What scares me most is the other guy's face. It wouldn't be so bad if you could both be blindfolded.' Most of the time the faces that we face are not the other guys', but our own faces. And it is the worst kind of yellowness: to be so scared of yourself that you put blindfolds on rather than deal with yourself.
<font color=282828>—</font>"To face ourselves, that's the hard thing. The imagination: That's God's gift to make the act of self-examination bearable." —Paul (Will Smith), Six Degrees of Separation

But it shouldn't force him to speak his mind at all times though, even when not prompted or having been asked a question of any sort. Even in a court of law you're not required to spill the beans on everything that enters your head unless someone asks you a direct question, right?

Perhaps I have a different concept of lying to other people. Honesty is the best policy, after all, but insanity is the best defence.

Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.

We know things are bad -- worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms.

961. "I ate his liver with buttered beans and a bottle of Chianti...ksss...."

Now this is interesting to me. Centaure, you're obviously remembering this quote from a dubbed version of the film, and translating it back into English: so what was it about the quote that was memorable for you? Are you remembering the words as spoken by the French voice actor who dubbed Hopkins? If so your memory of the film is surely very different from the average American filmgoer's: that filmgoer would certainly recognize the line as "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti", which, to me, is a much more memorable phrase, if not for its literal content, then for its cadences, its fricatives and sibilants, and for the special emphasis Hopkins gives it in his delivery. It seems to me that 'J'ai dégusté son foie avec des fèves au beurre, et un excellent chianti', spoken by some jobbing actor on his way to lunch, just doesn't work in quite the same way.

(by the way, I'm not criticizing your understanding of English here, which, from what I've seen, is very impressive)

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?

You should put the closing lines of Trainspotter along with that as well.

Wanker! :-)

When they announce their departure, they can never stay away.

The only ones who truly disappear are those who just simply trail off, like a line from Popeye, their last words here some innocuous comment or other.

Then there are those who disappear into the bush for months, only to emerge as if nothing has changed.

Those like you, my Punjabi friend.

Maybe Benedict will return, *0*-like, with some precious name like "Malspoken" or "John XXIII" or something.

Hitchcock - "Marnie"

convo 'tween Sean Connery and Tippi Hedren

Marnie Edgar: "You don't love me. I'm just something you've caught! You think I'm some sort of animal you've trapped!"
Mark Rutland: "That's right - you are. And I've caught something really wild this time, haven't I? I've tracked you and caught you and by God I'm going to keep you."
