Vejam este filme :)

(Melodie asks him how she looks for her date with a new man) "That's an awfully agressive ensemble, you looking to wind up in an abortion clinic?"

(on New Years Eve as he talks to the audience) "I happen to hate New Years celebrations. Everybody's desperate to have fun trying to celebrate in some pathetic little way. Celebrate what, a step closer to the grave? That's why I can't say enough times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filtch or provide, every temporary measure of grace -- whatever works! Don't kid yourself, it is by no means up to your human ingenuity, a bigger part of your existence is luck. Christ, you know the odds of your father's one sperm from the billions finding the single egg that made you? Don't think about it or you'll have a panic attack!"

But why do you even want to hear about all this? Christ, you got your own problems. I'm sure your all obsessed with any number of sad little hopes and dreams. Your predictably unsatisfying love lives, your failed business ventures. "Oh, if only I'd bought that stock! If only I-if only I purchased THAT house years ago! If only I'd made a move on THAT woman." If this, if that. You know what? Gimmie a break with your could have's and should have's. Like my mother used to say, "If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car."


Whatever Works.

(500) Days of Summer

Tom: Did you ever even have a boyfriend?

Summer: Of course.

Tom: What happened, why didn’t they work out?

Summer: What always happens? Life.

Jumanji

Um dos filmes que mais vezes vi quando era miúda. Acho que a cassete de vídeo já estava gasta. Que saudades de delirar com isto.

Volver

Yo adivino el parpadeo
de las luces que a lo lejos
van marcando mi retorno.

Son las mismas que alumbraron
con sus pálidos reflejos
hondas horas de dolor.

Y aunque no quise el regreso
siempre se vuelve
al primer amor.

La vieja calle
donde me cobijo
tuya es su vida
tuyo es su querer.

Bajo el burlón
mirar de las estrellas
que con indiferencia
hoy me ven volver.

Volver
con la frente marchita
las nieves del tiempo
platearon mi sien.

Sentir
que es un soplo la vida
que veinte años no es nada
que febril la mirada
errante en las sombras
te busca y te nombra.

Vivir
con el alma aferrada
a un dulce recuerdo
que lloro otra vez.

Tengo miedo del encuentro
con el pasado que vuelve
a enfrentarse con mi vida.

Tengo miedo de las noches
que pobladas de recuerdos
encadenen mi soñar.

Pero el viajero que huye
tarde o temprano
detiene su andar.

Y aunque el olvido
que todo destruye
haya matado mi vieja ilusión,

guardo escondida
una esperanza humilde
que es toda la fortuna
de mi corazón.

Volver
con la frente marchita
las nieves del tiempo
platearon mi sien.

Sentir
que es un soplo la vida
que veinte años no es nada
que febril la mirada
errante en las sombras
te busca y te nombra.

Vivir
con el alma aferrada
a un dulce recuerdo
que lloro otra vez.

Volver - Carlos Gardel

Who watches the Watchmen?

Que grande filme!

"Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense."

And the Oscar goes to...

... Slumdog Millionaire.

D: It's written.

Isso e os encontros creepy com as amigas no cinema. :)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Só tenho uma coisa a dizer: sentem os vossos rabos fofos numa sala de cinema o mais rápido possível.

"For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

"Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people can dance."

Para compensar o post sobre a novela...

Próximo filme:

O Estranho Caso de Benjamin Button

Título Original: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

“Eu nasci sob circunstâncias pouco usuais". É assim que começa "O Estranho Caso de Benjamin Button", adaptado a partir da história de F. Scott Fitzgerald, sobre um homem que nasce com oitenta anos e regride na sua idade: um homem, como qualquer um de nós, que é incapaz de parar o tempo. O filme conta a história de Benjamin e da sua "viagem" fora do comum, das pessoas e lugares que descobre ao longo do seu caminho, dos seus amores, das alegrias da vida e da tristeza da morte, e daquilo que dura para além do tempo."

Parece-vos bem? Promete.

Parece que estreia para a semana.

Blindness

Ontem à noite fui ver o Ensaio sobre a Cegueira.

Ainda estou sem palavras. Simplesmente amei. Brutal em todos os sentidos. A verdadeira natureza humana completamente exposta.

"The only thing more terrifying than blindness is being the only one who can see."

Que grande filme.
Sem dúvida um dos meus preferidos de sempre.

21 grams

"How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams... at the exact moment of our death. Everyone. And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost? When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much is gained? Twenty-one grams. The weight of a stack of five nickels. The weight of a hummingbird. A chocolate bar. How much did 21 grams weigh?"

"There are so many things that have to happen for two people to meet."

"So this is death's waiting room."

"The earth turned to bring us closer. It turned on itself and in us, until it finally brought us together in this dream."

(in 21 grams).

Come what may...

Simplesmente poderoso. Do primeiro ao último minuto, apaixonante.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."

E para ti, que sei que partilhas da minha opinião, lembra-te, Come What May, I Will Love You Until the End of Time...
