Jezzie Flannigan: You know something Alex? When you said, “You do what you are,” you were right. I’m living proof.
Movie Quote of the Day – Get Over It, 2001 (dir. Tommy O’Haver)
Felix: No. No. No. No. You are not going over there. You go over there, you might as well put your stick on a cracker. You know? It’s only going to make you her bitch. You don’t want that. It’s bad.
Berke: Felix, I’ve taken pisses longer than your last three relationships.

Female Filmmaker Friday: Bridget Jones’s Diary, 2001 (dir. Sharon Maguire)
It’s Friday, so it’s time for another edition of Female Filmmaker Friday. Next week I might not post one because of TCMFF, but I think you guys can handle that. This week I’m going to talk about one of my all-time favorite films. There’s a lot to say about Bridget Jones’s Diary and I’m definitely not going to hit all the points; instead I’m just going to write about the aspects and scenes that have stuck with me over the years. I’ve seen this film a million times since it came out in theaters (it was one of the very first DVDs I ever owned) and I’ve also read the book(s). As much as I enjoyed them, this film is my favorite interpretation of the iconic Ms. Jones.
Movie Quote of the Day – Shallow Hal, 2001 (dir. Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly)
Hal: Let me ask you something. Who is the all-time love of your life?
Mauricio: [ponders] Wonder Woman.
Hal: Okay. . .let’s say Wonder Woman falls in love with you. And everyone else in the world didn’t find her attractive.
Mauricio: It wouldn’t matter. Because I know they’d be wrong.
Hal: See! That’s what I had with Rosemary! I saw a knockout, I don’t care what anybody else saw!
Mauricio: I hadn’t thought about it that way. I guess I really did screw you, huh?
Movie Quote of the Day – Black Hawk Down, 2001 (dir. Ridley Scott)
Sergeant First Class Norm “Hoot” Gibson: See you’re thinking. Don’t. ‘Cause Sergeant, you can’t control who gets hit or who doesn’t or who falls out of a chopper or why. It ain’t up to you. It’s just war.
Movie Quote of the Day – The Wedding Planner, 2001 (dir. Adam Shankman)
Steve: You ever think about that night in the park?
Mary: What?
Steve: I barely know you. I don’t know your dad’s first name. I don’t know if you ever wore braces or contacts or glasses. I have no idea how you came to be a wedding planner, Mary. . . But I know the curves of your face and I know every fleck of gold in your eyes. And I know that that night in the park was the best time I’ve ever had. P-p-please say something.
Mary: I’m a magnet for unavailable men. . .and I’m sick of it. It’s simple. I know Fran. I respect her. And she loves you. So, besides your tux measurements, that’s all I need to know. Please go away.
Steve: Good night, Mary.

Movie Quote of the Day – Head Over Heels, 2001 (dir. Mark Waters)
Candi: If you say you’re not interested in him, why are you watching him?

Candi: How do you know that?
Amanda: Because I’m attracted to him.
