"Gold & Silver er er er…"

Posted on by vballphil in Drew Barrymore, Fun, Movies


So my Valentine’s present to myself was going to see the movie “Music & Lyrics”. I have been waiting for this movie to come out for a while so it was awesome to see it on opening night! On top of that, being that Drew is my FAVE actress, you know I had to go support! And, even though Hugh is not one of my fave people, he sure knows how to pick some great romantic movies, with some amazing leading ladies! From Notting Hill to 2 Weeks Notice to Bridget Jones Diary (his character ain’t may fave, but the movie is amazing)…he has done VERY well in the romantic movie area!

The movie might not have been the most romantic movie I have ever seen (nothing can top Pride and Prejudice), but it made me realize the little things. Quirks can be a plus in someone. And HOW AMAZING IS HUGH AS A SINGER! I am going to buy the album on Itunes tonight! It is not grammy worthy…but it ain’t bad either! And “Pop”…wow they nailed the 80’s big hair pop thing perfectly! Hahahaha! So go see it if you can!!!

Quotes From My Fave On Screen Heroine’s

Posted on by vballphil in Movies, Quotes, Random Thoughts

So last night, after watching the final episode of Sex and the City on WGN and hearing one of my all time fave quotes about love I started thinking about a couple other quotes that I totally agree with and am looking for. Ironic that Valentine’s day is next week…but I promise that this has NOTHING to do with it :)!

Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City): “I’m looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love. And I don’t think that love is here in this expensive suite in this lovely hotel in Paris.”

Ever After: Danielle De Barbarac “Just breathe…” (this one is something I tell myself everyday)

“Prince Henry: And we, princess, are supposed to live happily ever after.
Danielle: Says who?
Prince Henry: You know, I don’t know.”

Pride & Prejudice (Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth)
“Mr. Darcy: How are you this evening, my dear?
Elizabeth Bennet: Very well. Only, I wish you would not call me “my dear.”
Mr. Darcy: Why?
Elizabeth Bennet: Because it’s what my father calls my mother whenever he’s cross about something.
Mr. Darcy: Well, what endearments am I allowed?
Elizabeth Bennet: Well, let me think…”Lizzie” for everyday, “my pearl” for Sundays, and “Goddess Divine,” but only on special occasions.
Mr. Darcy: And what am I to call you when I’m cross? “Mrs. Darcy?”
Elizabeth Bennet: No, you may only call me “Mrs. Darcy” when you are completely, perfectly and incandescently happy.
Mr. Darcy: And how are you this evening… Mrs. Darcy? Mrs. Darcy… Mrs. Darcy… Mrs. Darcy!
[kisses her]” (Fave quote series of all)

A Wonderful Day of TV Movies..

Posted on by vballphil in Movies, Sunday Fun


So not much to report on this weekend..except the excellent movies that played on Sunday afternoon/evening! Hahaha! Hey, when two of my fave movies, Romancing the Stone & Robin Hood:Men in Tights, come on the same day…you know it is going to be a great evening!! Hahaha!
Here are some quotes from Robin…
Prince John: And why would the people listen to you?
Robin Hood: Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.
[referring to the then recent blockbuster Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, in which Kevin Costner played the role with an American accent]

Blinkin: Oh, this never would have happened if your father was alive.
Robin Hood: He’s dead?
Blinkin: Yes.
Robin Hood: And my mother?
Blinkin: She died of pneumonia while – oh, you were away!
Robin Hood: And my brothers?
Blinkin: There were all killed by the plague.
Robin Hood: My dog, Pogo?
Blinkin: Run over by a carriage.
Robin Hood: My goldfish, Goldie?
Blinkin: Eaten by the cat.
Robin Hood: My cat?
Blinkin: Choked on the goldfish. Oh, it’s good to be home, ain’t it, Master Robin?

Little John: Let me introduce you to my best friend: Will Scarlet.
Scarlet: Scarlet’s my middle name. My full name is Will Scarlet O’Hara.
[pause]
Scarlet: We’re from Georgia.

Robin Hood: I lost. I lost? Wait a minute, I’m not supposed to lose. Let me see the script.

Robin Hood: I am Robin Hood, and these are my Merry Men!
Rabbi Tuckman: Faygeles?
Robin Hood: No, no. We’re straight. Just merry.

Here are some quotes from Romancing…

[Jack shows off his new, crocodile skin, boots, made from the crocodile he has killed]
Joan Wilder: I like the boots.
Jack Colton: Yeah, that poor old yellow-tailed guy… developed a fatal case of indigestion. He died right in my arms.
Joan Wilder: I can’t blame him. If I were to die there’s nowhere on earth I’d rather be.

Joan Wilder: You’re a mondo dismo!
Jack Colton: I’m… what am I? I’m what?
Joan Wilder: You’re a man who takes money from stranded women!

Jack Colton: Wait a minute, he’s after you. Who the hell are you?
Joan Wilder: Well, I’m a romance novelist.
Jack Colton: You’re what? What are you doing here?
Joan Wilder: I told you, my sister’s life depends on me.
Jack Colton: Ah, don’t give me that s*$#. I thought you were donating a kidney or something.
