Feelings
“Some memorable popular films have great acting; others have great direction or great special effects or great action scenes. Still others have great camera movement, editing, lighting, music, costumes, or set design. But it is feelings that lie at the heart of all memorable popular films, and quotes such as those above can be found in nearly all memorable popular films. When the feelings...

The Sopranos (Season 5/Episode 10)
Adriana: Christopher, don't get mad, okay? I know we kinda touched on it a couple times ... but you're so unhappy. What if we left here? Went far away? And you went into something else.
Christopher: Like what?
Adriana: I don't know, like ... pick up your writing maybe? Male modeling?
Christopher: I'll get back to the writing some day - but from a position of great wealth. As far as male modeling, I'd probably be a success, but I wouldn't want to be around those fucking people. I'm a soldier, Adriana, when you gonna understand that?

Fuck Facebook in the Face
Just imagine … you need to perform at a MySpace event, as a comedian — what’s the one thing you must tell? A joke about Facebook? Probably. Ira Wright (Seth Rogen) thought the same — and came up with this line: Fuck Facebook in the face!
By the way, James Taylor, the singer, he’s there too, he sings one of his classics (I think it’s Carolina in my Mind), and...

Mach ihn groß
Der Josef ist nicht helle, dafür umso geiler, und wenn da schon ein Blondchen eingesperrt ist, verängstigt und allein, gleich da hinten am Ende des Flurs, und die auch noch gesagt hat, lieber Josef, mach mit mir, was du willst, wenn du mich nur frei lässt — warum sollte er sich nicht vergnügen mit ihr?
Wer sollte da was dagegen haben?

A Fight Club Quote that Never Made it to the...
There’s a Fight Club quote that never made it to the screen. And you’ll instantly know why.
Here it is: In the movie Tyler says to Jack about Marla: “She’s a predator posing as a house pet.” I know, I know — you know that one.
But then Tyler says something strange, he says, “The shit that came out of this woman’s mouth, I had never heard!”
But what has he heard?
In the Fight Club...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Duke: [voice-over] How long could we maintain, I wondered. How long before one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family. Would he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so -- well, we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere. Because it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback Nazi law enforcement agency, and they'll run us down like dogs...
Duke: [out loud to himself] Jesus! Did I say that?
Duke: [voice-over] Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?
