Favorite Movie Quotes: Kiss of the Spider Woman

"I don't deserve to die in this cell. I only confessed some code names they already knew. I can't stand being a martyr. It infuriates me. I don't want to be a martyr. My whole life-- a mistake!"

Be careful if I stop by your place for lunch. I might just slip a Morty Comix under your silverware tray when you are not looking.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Le Roi de Cœur = King of Hearts

"Talk loud and no one listens."

This was a cult film shown frequently on campus when I was a student at The Evergroove State College in the 1970s. I recently watched it again (God, Alan Bates was so young in this!) and rediscovered why it still a great piece of cinema history.

I found this thing in my driveway. What is it? And how, pray tell, did it get there?

Morty Comix # 2307 Revisited

Last weekend I went to see if Morty Comix # 2307 was still in the spot it was left in February, and by gum it was! A little worse for wear but still in place. The phone booth had a fudgestick stick left there as a hobo sign meaning: "This phone booth contains a hidden Morty Comix."

Also, today, I was amazed to see Morty Comix # 2316 was still where I left it a week and a half ago. They must not vacuum very often.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Kind Hearts and Coronets

"While I never admired Edith as much as when I was with Sibella, I never longed for Sibella as much as when I was with Edith."

One of the all-time great films worth repeated viewings.

This sight is clearly visible from one of the edge roads in McCleary. At first I thought it was a hunting blind, but then I realized it was actually a discarded couch on end with a hole in it. Or, maybe it really is a hunting blind cleverly disguised as a discarded couch on end with a hole in it.

Morty Comix # 2331

Morty Comix #2331 joined the other town announcements at a McCleary, Washington grocery store. Somehow this one escaped scanning.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Kill Bill. Vol. 2

"Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red 'S,' that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears-- the glasses, the business suit-- that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak. He's unsure of himself. He's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race."
