When I was a little girl, my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often. And I would- I would pretend I was a princess… trapped in a tower by a wicked queen. And then suddenly this knight… on a white horse with these colours flying would come charging up and draw his sword. And I would wave. And he would climb up the tower and rescue me. But never in all the time… that I had this dream did the knight say to me, “Come on, baby, I’ll put you up in a great condo.”
In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau’s famous motto, “Anyone can cook.” But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau’s, who is, in this critic’s opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau’s soon, hungry for more.
“Hey you’re s’posed to be the fastest thing in the Valley, man, but that can’t be your car. It must be your mama’s car! I’m sorta’ embarrassed to be this close to ya!” Harrison Ford in American Graffiti (1973), DIR. GEORGE LUCAS.
Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one remembers to turn on the light. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) dir. Alfonso Cuarón
— You need to call it. I can’t call it for you. Or it wouldn’t be fair. — I didn’t put nothin’ up. — Yes, you did. You’ve been putting it up your whole life. You just didn’t know it.
No Country for Old Men (2007) dir. Ethan & Joel Coen
The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against armies of Isengard and Mordor? To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman and the union of the two towers. Together, my lord Sauron, we shall rule this middle-earth. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the orc.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) Dir. Peter Jackson DP Andrew Lesnie
“The outfit Shuri is wearing in this scene features an Adinkra symbol (cultural visual symbols from the Asante/Ghana region of Africa) on it. This Adinkra symbol means ‘purpose,’ and she certainly has a purpose in Wakanda.”
