Movie Quote of the Day – Finding Nemo, 2003 (dir. Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich)
Marlin: Dory. If it wasn’t for you, I never even would have made it here. So, thank you.
Dory: Hey! Hey, wait a minute. W-w-wait! Where are you going?
Marlin: It’s over, Dory. We were too late. Nemo’s gone and I’m going home now.
Dory: No. . .no, you can’t! S-s-stop! Please don’t go away. Please? No one’s ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave, if you leave. . .if you leave. . .I just, I remember things better with you. I do. Look, P. Sherman, forty-two. . . forty. . .two. . .agh! I remember it, I do. It’s there, I know it is because when I look at you, I can feel it. And I, I look at you and. . .I’m home. Please. I don’t want that to go away. I don’t wanna forget.
Marlin: I’m sorry, Dory, but I do.
Movie Quote of the Day – Broadway Danny Rose, 1984 (dir. Woody Allen)
Danny Rose: You know what my philosophy of life is? That it’s important to have some laughs, but you gotta suffer a little too, because otherwise you miss the whole point to life.
Noirvember 2012 in Films
So this month marked the third-annual Noirvember, and I must say I couldn’t be more pleased with the turnout this year. We had people posting on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Not only did I manage a new-to-me Noir film of the day, I also did a noir movie quote of the day every day this month, which I’m sure y’all noticed. I also read a few noir books: The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett and Laura by Vera Caspary, as well as reading the screenplays for Sunset Blvd. and The Third Man. Although I did manage to see a few non-noir films on the big screen (mostly new releases), a lot of decades went ignored this month. I will try to make up for that in December. Along with the aforementioned 2012 releases, I also go to see two of my favorite films that evaded me when they were first on the big screen at the Castro this month: David Fincher’s Zodiac (in a double with The Game) and Julian Schnable’s The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. All and all, it was a great month for cinema. Also, don’t forget to check out our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide!
