Movie Quote of the Day – I Love You, Man, 2009 (dir. John Hamburg)
Doug: You know, it takes a lot of nerve to spend a beautiful evening with someone and then never call them again.
Peter: Doug, I can explain.
Doug: I just wish I could take back that kiss.
Sydney: Woah!
Doug: Because I felt something that I haven’t felt in years, and now I know it was the taste of betrayal.
Peter: It wasn’t the taste of betrayal!
Doug: It was the taste of betrayal.
Peter: No, it really wasn’t.
Doug: It was the taste of betrayal, you fucking whore.
Peter: Doug!
Doug: Good day.
Movie Quote of the Day – The Heiress, 1949 (dir. William Wyler)
Morris Townsend: He doesn’t like me. He doesn’t like me at all.
Catherine Sloper: I don’t see how you know.
Morris Townsend: I feel. I’m very quick to feel.
June 2012 in Films: Birthdays and Jobs and Movies Galore
So June had a lot of changes. Firstly, I started a new job – well, two new jobs actually. Or, they’re the same job but at two locations. Haha. What I mean is, I’m working at the Clay and Lumiere Theatres in San Francisco. Basically, I get paid to sell people movie tickets and not to burn popcorn. I also get to see movies for free, though so far I haven’t had much time to do that. I also (finally) connected my Blu-ray player to the internet so I can stream Instant Netflix to it, which has aided in my watching of films quickly before heading off to work. Lastly, there were birthdays. Movie Quote of the Day celebrated its 2nd birthday and I celebrated my 26th birthday. I am an old lady now. Due to all this excitement, my film watching time lowered a bit and although I did maintain slightly more than one new-to-me a day, I didn’t quite manage to do two a day. As always, the full list is after the cut.
A Wonderful Surprise, Just In Time For My Birthday!
It is my 26th Birthday today! And I have a little surprise for you all! You have to check under the cut to see it, though!
Movie Quote of the Day – The Tin Star, 1957 (dir. Anthony Mann)
Sheriff Ben Owens: You notice everything, don’t you?
Morg Hickman: I notice you’re wearing your guns too low.
Sheriff Ben Owens: That’s where Sheriff Parker wore his.
Morg Hickman: Parker’s dead.
Movie Quote of the Day is Two Years Old Today!
You can see the first year’s worth of MQotD here at last year’s anniversary post. If you will recall I had five days last year with no computer whatsoever, so there were only 360 MQotDs. This year I managed to post all 365. There was one repeat on purpose (Groundhog Day, duh!) and one on accident (Brief Encounter). Which means when you combine the two years I believe there are 723 movies quoted. Crazy. After the cut I have linked to all of the quotes I’ve posted over the last year. Enjoy!
Movie Quote of the Day – Rosemary’s Baby, 1968 (dir. Roman Polanski)

Rosemary Woodhouse: I’ve been to Vidal Sassoon.
Guy Woodhouse: Don’t tell me you paid for that?

Fans of The King and I, rejoice! The Warner Archive has released Anatole Litvak’s drama The Journey, which reunites co-stars Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. This film also served as the big screen debut of Jason Robards – and what a debut it was!
Movie Quote of the Day – High Anxiety, 1977 (dir. Mel Brooks)
Nurse Diesel: Dinner is served promptly at 8 in the private dining room. Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup.
Movie Quote of the Day – Seabiscuit, 2003 (dir. Gary Ross)
Reporter: Awful lotta hoopla for such a little horse.
