my wasted heart will always love you

My final movie is the best Christmas movie of all time. No it is not A Christmas Story or a Christmas Vacation. Those are definitely in the top 5 and I’m sorry I didn’t quote the Griswold’s during my movie journey.

No, IMO the best holiday movie of all time is: Love Actually.

I watched it again last night and I cried like a big ol’ baby teared up a tiny bit like I always do. There are so many wonderful scenes and quotes in this movie. I love it when the Prime Minister says to Margaret Thatcher’s painting: You have this kind of problem? Yeah… of course you did, you saucy minx!

There’s something wonderful about each story in this film and every time we get to the conclusion of a different character’s storyline, I find myself thinking “THIS is my favorite storyline.” Then we move to the next one and then I think “No, THIS is my favorite storyline.” So, I have two favorite scenes and a hundred favorite lines. Without showing you the entire movie, here’s what you get today:

Karen: Mia’s very pretty.
Harry: Is she?
Karen: You know she is, darling. Be careful there.

I chose this exchange because it breaks my heart every time. It sets this story up so well and it shows a very real exchange. Women are very observant and men are oftentimes too thick to listen. Which makes this story even sadder because had he listened, it would have been avoided. (I always, always, always hope that each time I watch the movie Harry decides to give Karen the necklace. LOL I’m such a sucker)

Sam:Worse than the total agony of being in love?

Billy Mack: And I realized that, as dire chance and… and… and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid-50s, and without knowing it I’ve gone and spent most of my adult life with a… with a chubby employee. And… and much as it grieves me to say it, it… it might be that the people I love is, in fact… you.
Joe: Well, this is a surprise.
Billy Mack: Yeah.
Joe: Ten minutes at Elton John’s, you’re as gay as a maypole!

Best Bromance ever.

And of course, the two scenes that turn me into mush:

My wasted heart will always love you (OMG this line!!!)

I need to smile this morning, so I’m quoting one of my favorite all time movies: Pee Wee’s Big Adventure

I love this movie & I loved the TV show even more.

Here are a few of my favorite lines, all spoken by PeeWee himself:


I know you are but what am I?

I pity the fool who don’t eat my cereal!

I remember…the Alamo.

Nobody hipped me to that dude.

and last but not least:

I’m a loner Dottie, a rebel.

I hope you have lots of holiday shenanigans on your plate today. If not, start cooking some up!

here’s your bonus Pee Wee Playhouse Christmas special…Grace Jones singing The Little Drummer Boy! Oh teh awesome! It surrounds me!

because i want you

There is no better scene in this world than this one from STRANGER THAN FICTION.

I decided that quoting this scene was too much, even though the words are still as strong out of context, the tension and honesty in this scene should be viewed.

Now from a writer’s perspective, I have to admit I love the scenes with Emma Thompson as she’s narrating while she writes. This particular passage always gets me:

Kay Eiffel: As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately, when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction. And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true. And, so it was, a wristwatch saved Harold Crick.

Okay, it’s humpday. The female terrorists kittehs have been wrangled and taken back to the vet as it seems their constant cage fighting and terroristic training has opened up their incisions. Yay for yucky, gaping abdomen holes! Has this slowed them down? Not. One. Bit.

I’m working today, finishing stuff up. I have Christmas bunko tonight, hanging with pals tomorrow and my pal Laura’s birthday on Christmas Eve…this will be my first Christmas Eve without the kids. I’m not really looking forward to waking up Christmas morning alone without them, but I’ll see them mid-morning and it will all be good. It will also give me a chance to sleep off all the wine I will have consumed with Laura the night before.

3 days left til Ho, Ho, Ho!

because I have a gun.

Gus: From now on, the only person who gets to yell is me. Why? Because I have a gun. People with guns get to do whatever they want. Married people without guns – for instance – you – DO NOT get to yell. Why? NO GUNS! No guns, no yelling. See? Simple little equation.

The Ref with Dennis Leary is one of my favorite holiday flicks. If you haven’t seen it, you should totally watch it. If it’s been forever since you’ve seen it (like it has been for me) you should totally watch it again (like me).

So how’s the Holiday Prep going? I’m all behind and wishing someone, somewhere would just volunteer to finish my shopping, do my wrapping, and take care of everything else like work for me. Too much to do, no money or time to do it. Ahhhhh. It’s the story of my life.

In other news, I had some pretty pics taken of my new hair last week and posted them on Facebook yesterday. I went really super red for fun. Wanna see?

it already came true

There are so many scenes and lines from the movie Sixteen Candles that I love, that it was hard for me to choose. For funny, I could go with:

Dong:AUTO-MO-BIIIIILE or Oh sexy girlfriend. Or even something like when the one grandpa asked the other grandpa “Hey, how’s your Chinaman?”

Or I could go the Farmer Ted route: “I’ve never bagged a babe.”

But the reality is, my favorite line from the movie is from the very last scene:

Jake: Make a wish, Samantha.
Sam: It already came true.

Because seriously? Is there one girl out there in this world that grew up with this movie that didn’t feel all warm and tingly in that special spot when Sam walked out of the church all by herself and saw Jake leaned up against the Porsche waiting for her? Holy crap. I still get a little soft and gooey when I see that scene.

BTW, just in case you weren’t sure, I really am a girl.

scared of everything

Baby: Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.

I bet you thought I was gonna quote “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” Didn’t you? That would be like saying “You had me at hello.” was my favorite line from Jerry McGuire. Seriously, just because everyone knows it and quotes it, doesn’t make it any less cheesy or cliche. (and my favorite line from Jerry McGuire is actually “Did you know the human head weighs 8 pounds?”)

Dirty Dancing is my all time favorite movie. It came out my senior year in high school and it was just the RIGHT movie and the RIGHT time for me. Also, I’m a huge fan of opposites attract/rich vs. poor love stories.

Embedding was disabled, but here’s a link to the clip I quoted. It is hands down, one of the sexiest scenes ever.

I hope y’all have a great weekend. I’m heading to see El Jefe tonight. I need some R & R in a major way.

8 days til Christmas…how you doing on your nice? I’m pretty much failing, but I’m okay with that. Some girls were just meant to be naughty.

stand out

Confession time. I have a thing for any movie with Amanda Bynes or Hillary Duff in it. I love teen girl movies. And this line is exactly the reason why:

Ian: Why are trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?

Love, love, LOVE!

This is from probably my favorite Amanda Bynes movie, WHAT A GIRL WANTS. It’s quirky, funny and romantic and it appeals the the 15 year old girl inside of me. Okay, it appeals to the 41 year old as well. Shut your pie hole. I’ll grow up and stop being such a goob one day.

I’m up to something today but I can’t tell you cuz it’s a super secret something. It’s awesome though.

long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses

Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

*gulp*

Yes. Please.

Is there a woman on earth who doesn’t just wet herself when Crash delivers this speech? This is sex-on-a-stick. Also, that scene where Costner has Sarandan tied to the bed while he paints her toenails? *fanning self* HAWT.

Tomorrow is a big day for me. Got lots of stuff going on! There may even be pictures eventually.

Or not.

Christmas is just 10 days away. Are you being naughty or nice? I promise, I’m working on the nice part…

Louise: You get what you settle for.

This is from Thelma and Louise (duh). And isn’t that line the truth? Who knew we could learn such important life lessons from movies?

Now we can’t quote this movie without the obligatory shot of Brad Pitt when he was the hottest thing next to McDonald’s coffee….

Save a horse…

Arwen: I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. I choose a mortal life.
Aragorn: You cannot give me this.
Arwen: It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart.Yeah. I know. There are swords and awesome fighting and a creepy eye and wizards and elves and hobbitses in this movie…I also know this scene made my heart stop the first time I saw it.
