Movie Quote of the Day – She’s Lost Control, 2015 (dir. Anja Marquardt)
Ronah: Do you like looking at me?
Movie Quote of the Day – Jupiter Ascending, 2015 (dir. Lana & Lilly Wachowski)
Jupiter Jones: Stinger said that you attacked an entitled once.
Caine Wise: Stinger talks too much.
Jupiter Jones: Is it true?
Caine Wise: Does it matter?
Jupiter Jones: Sorry, I get it’s none of my business. I was just trying to understand.
Caine Wise: Look, the truth is I don’t know why I did it. I. . .I don’t even remember doing it. It just happened.
Jupiter Jones: We all do things we can’t explain.
Caine Wise: They said it was in my genes. A defect of my genome engineering.
Jupiter Jones: Could explain a lot of things about me. Like the fact that I have an uncanny ability to fall for men that don’t fall for me. It’s like my internal compass needle points straight at Mr. Wrong. Maybe it’s my genes. Maybe I have defective engineering too. And if that’s the case is there any way to fix it?
Caine Wise: You are royalty now. I’m a splice. You don’t understand what that means, but I have more in common with a dog than I have with you.
Jupiter Jones: I love dogs, I’ve always loved dogs.

Dan: It’s like you need me and if I’m not with you all the time, you’re gonna fall apart. It is exhausting being with someone who is so fucking needy.
Movie Quote of the Day – The 24 Hour Woman, 1999 (dir. Nancy Savoca)
Linda: I remember when you were born, mija, I thought I was gonna have more time too. I was gonna write my novel while you slept. That was a joke. You never slept. I never slept. I had the creativity of a prisoner of war. And taking a shower, that was a major accomplishment.

Meenu: I want grandchildren. Are you too selfish to give me that?
Reena: Mom, I’m a lesbian. I’m not sterile.
Movie Quote of the Day – But I’m a Cheerleader, 1999 (dir. Jamie Babbit)
Megan: I thought you could teach me how to be a lesbian, what they wear, where they live. You know.
Lloyd: Megan, we can’t help you with that. There’s not just one way to be a lesbian. You just have to continue to be who you are.
Movie Quote of the Day – October Gale, 2015 (dir. Ruba Nadda)
William: You know, it’s funny. You think you can always just turn it around. Like no matter what, you can just walk it back. But you can’t. I know you know that. But there’s this other part of you that knows you’ve got to get on with it. Like you never forget about it, you never forget. But you’ve got to get on with it. You just decide that this awful thing you make it count. From here on out, you make it count.
Movie Quote of the Day – Miss Julie, 2014 (dir. Liv Ullmann)
Miss Julie: Are you ever afraid to hear that you’re no longer wanted? That you don’t belong?
John: I shared a bed with my little brother, and one morning, when I was eight, I woke up and found him dead beside me. I saw death for the first time and yes, I was afraid. But not in the way you’re talking about.
Movie Quote of the Day – Dear Frankie, 2004 (dir. Shona Auerbach)
Nell: Bette Davis used to have blood-red nails.
Lizzie: Did she?
Nell: That’s what your daddy used to call you. You’d be all dressed up in my best frock and high heels. Talking away to yourself. Away in your own wee world. And he’d say, “Jesus Christ, Nell. Who the hell does that lassie think she is? Bette Davis?” I never really liked Bette Davis. Preferred Barbara Stanwyck. You knew where you were with Barbara Stanwyck.
Movie Quote of the Day – The Little Rascals, 1994 (dir. Penelope Spheeris)
Stymie: Why don’t go make up with him, Alfalfa? You guys have been friends since you were one.
Alfalfa: He started it!
Stymie: And you should finish it. You’re a team, like Bert and Ernie. Superman and Clark Kent, Milli and Vanilli. At least go talk to him. What could it cost?
Spanky: You mean, besides my dignity and pride?
Stymie: All I know is, you only make a once-in-a-lifetime buddy, once in a lifetime.
