Woody Movie Quotes: MELINDA AND MELINDA (2004)


Hobie: "God, you, uh, you look, uh ... you look very pretty in this candlelight."

Melinda: "Well, I'm sure anyone would look amazing with all these flickering shadows and all the wine you're drinking."

Hobie: "Right, right, uh ... well, I-I-I'm - I'm drinking because life moves so fast ... so unpredictably. You know, it's-it's over so fast and in the end what is it? Chekhov said a soap bubble."

Something Demme

One of my favorite directors is Jonathan Demme
and he has a new film arriving soon.
I've heard nothing about it, but the anticipation is great.

Trashcan Sinatras re-do Lulu

The Trashcan Sinatras perform their haunting version
of the theme song to the film To Sir, With Love.
I have no idea what film or television show the scenes
that weave in and out of the video are from;
regardless of their interruption, close your eyes
and listen. I couldn't stop.
