Movie Quote of the Day – Uncle Buck, 1989 (dir. John Hughes)
Buck Russell: I don’t think I want to know a six-year-old who isn’t a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don’t want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don’t have a college degree. I don’t even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they’re ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they’re no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I’m coming looking for you! Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you, madam.

Movie Quote of the Day – Earth Girls Are Easy, 1988 (dir. Julien Temple)
Mac: What is is sex?
Valerie: Sex? You know, making love. A man and a woman like each other and they take their clothes off. . .
Mac: Okay.
Valerie: No. No. No. We can’t because me and Ted are. . .well I guess we’re not. But I mean, we can’t because you’re an alien and I’m from the Valley and we may not even be, you know, anatomically corrector for each other. That could be a real problem [Mac’s pants unzip] No problem. But I mean, no, no, no. It just wouldn’t work. I mean you’re from out of town. The phone bills would just be hell.
Mac: Shh. . .
Valerie: I didn’t want you to think Earth girls were easy.
Mac: What is “easy”?
Valerie: This is “easy”.
Movie Quote of the Day – Alice, 1990 (dir. Woody Allen)
Alice Tate: I’ve experienced a double blow. A husband who loved me once, I know that he no longer does. And a man I met recently and developed strong feelings for now doesn’t seem to want me.
Dr. Yang: Love. Love is most complex emotion. Human beings unpredictable. No logic to emotions. Where there is no logic, there is no rational thought. Where there is no rational thought, there can be much romance but much suffering.
Alice Tate: Gee, I. . .I feel like I’m adrift, like I’ve been cut loose. A while ago I had a routine life, with feelings I understood. A husband, a home.
Dr. Yang: Mrs. Tate had illusion of happiness. Upon closer observation, not very honest husband, not very honest with self.
Alice Tate: I’m frightened.
Dr. Yang: Freedom is frightening feeling.
