I confess I am a movie addict to the bone! I am very partial with foreign films 'cause most of them don't insult my intelligence, not that I shun away from Pinoy films, it's just that our film industry never matures (until recently...thanks to Indies!)...hehehe...it's just me thinking out loud...
I confess that I collect movie videos both original and pirated (kids, please don't do this at home...). Hey, don't get me wrong, I just collect pirated TV series (CSI, Alias, Heroes and Prison Break) since they don't come handy in the original racks, most of my film collections are originals...especially the classic films...my heart bleeds when I see great films get distorted through pirated copies, so my opinion is, stick with the original ones...at least you can bring them anywhere...proudly! hehehehe...
I watch and cry my heart out over some frivolously romantic films! Especially those with stories about the events that I could never ever be part of, places I may never travel to, jobs I may never do, clothes I may never fit into...and...MEN I can never have...hehehehe...
I sang with great singers who make great sound tracks at the end of each film while credits are being shown (hats off to Bryan Adams, Sting and Rod Stewart for their Three Musketeers sound track...ALL FOR LOVE...). I so love songs from any Julia Roberts film...Say a Little Pray'r, She, I Will, How Can You Mend A Brokenheart...the list can go on forever dear!
Did I mention credits? hehehe....at the back of my mind I still hope that maybe even at the end (of the film), the director had kept something for us, the patient ones, who would watched up to the last name of the credits...oh how I love Shrek 2's Baby Mutants (the baby donkey-dragons, offsprings of Donkey and Dragon)! And also, I got kinda excited that Prof. Charles Xavier isn't dead in X-men 3...boy oh boy...I got all these from patiently watching the credits at the end of almost every films I see...oh, I forgot, I love Jackie Chan's bloopers as well...
And as a solid proof of my being a certified movie buff, here are some famous long lines, I collected, transcribed and encoded here just for you...I took the liberty of putting categories in them according to how I see them, also to show you how mushy I can be...patiently transcribing all these...
Enjoy them, the way I did! Read on...
On women: Sean Bean, TROY
Women have a way of complicating things...
On falling in love: Anthony Hopkins, MEET JOE BLACK
I want you to get swept away out there. I want you to levitate. I want you to sing with rapture and dance...Be deliriously happy... I know it’s a cornball thing but love is passion, obsession, something you can’t live without. I say, fall head over heels, find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head and listen to your heart, cause the truth is, honey, there’s no sense living your life without this... to make the journey and not fall deeply in love...well you haven’t live a life at all. But you have to try, ‘cause if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived...
On love: Mandy Moore, WALK TO REMEMBER
Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful nor conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense. It is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes...
On marriage: Susan Sarandon, SHALL WE DANCE
All these promises that we make and we break, why is it do you think that people get married? ...because we need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet. I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything – the good thing, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, all of it, all the time, everyday. You’re saying, “Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. You will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.”
A father’s grief over a son’s death: Peter O' Toole, TROY
I have endured what no man on earth will endure...I kissed the hands of the man who killed my son...
On criticisms: Beyonce Knowles, FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS
When life makes you have to put up with mean and hateful people, just think of them as sandpapers, they may scratch you and rub you the wrong way but eventually you end up smooth and polished while the sandpaper is just gonna be worn out and ugly.
On being courageous in the face of perils: Morgan Freeman, DEEP IMPACT
I believe in God, I know a lot of you don’t but I still want to offer a prayer for our survival. I’m included because I believe that God, whomever you hold that to be, needs all our prayers, even if sometimes the answer is no...
On being simple: Taye Diggs, BROWN SUGAR
Simplicity provides a fine line between eloquence and plainness.
On Life’s Simple Rules: Will Smith, HITCH
Never lie, steal, cheat or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love; if you must steal, steal away from a bad company; if you must cheat, cheat death; if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
On acceptance and tolerance: Garfield, GARFIELD
At first I thought he was a pain but he’s grown on me like a wart, you wanna have removed until you realize it defines you in some fine way.
On lost chances: Carrie Ann Moss, Matrix
I wish I had one more chance to say what really matters, to say how much I love you, how grateful I was for every moment I was with you, but by the time I knew how to say what I want to do, it was too late...
On having faith: Optimus Prime, TRANSFORMERS
...there’s more to them than meets the eye…
Did you love them? hehehehe... YES I AM AN ADDICT!!!! Movie Addict that is...and it's pretty contagious!!!
