Movie Quote of the Day 48

Today’s quote comes from “Riding in Cars with Boys” which I found a difficult watch but some of the events and quotes are still memorable.

“Sometimes we love people so much that we have to actually be numb to it, because if we actually felt how much we loved them . . . it would kill us.”

My Best Friends Wedding (1997) Vs Made of Honor (2008)

I love “My Best Friends Wedding” as you may already know I am a massive fan of Julia Roberts aka Jules in my world. Yet it is quite a strange film in terms of the ending really isnt what you would expect from Hollywood but is it more realistic? In my world yes it is. Its heartbreaking at times but thats life isn’t it. I have probably watched this film more times that people can actually imagine. Quite a few months ago I eventually got round to see “Made of Honor” which I had heard was like MBFW but the other way round. I however have to totally disagree with that and this post will end up in a rant that men always win no matter what the situation is.

 

Made and released more than 10 years apart really shows the direction in which romantic comedies aka rom-coms have come over the years. That direction is down. Don’t get me wrong some have been quite good like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “(500) Days of Summer”. But way exactly have I enjoyed these? They have more realistic moments in them and manage to connect to the audience in different ways. Especially (500) Days of Summer it is so realistic and good how throughout the film it reminds us it is not a love story it is a story about love, and showing how different your expectations are in comparison to what reality is.

Movie Quote of the Day 45

Today’s quote comes from one of my favorite films featuring my favorite actor Jack Nicholson and this quote is direct from him . . .

“Its not true. Some have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just no one in this car. But a lot of people, that’s their story. Good times, noodle salad. What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but your just that pissed so many others had it good.”

Movie Quote of the Day 44

Today’s quote is a rather amusing exchange between Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton in Something’s Gotta Give. I wonder how many men think the truth has versions?

“I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.”

“The truth doesn’t have versions, okay?”
