Scre4m

The movie I have been waiting 10 years for! Aaand I wasn’t disappointed! Probably second best after the first, I was shocked who turned out to be a killer, and I seriously think that if Panettiere got the role of Jill, movie would be just perfect, I did not like Culkin and Roberts at all. I was so afraid that Gale was going to die! Courteney Cox character is definitely the best. Kirby was amazing. And where the hell  is Patrick Dempsey? He survived the last one, he should be in this one too, right? And again our super trio survived the massacre.

‘Welcome home, Sidney. You’re a survivor, aren’t you, Sidney? What good is it to be a survivor when everyone close to you is dead? You can’t save them. All you can do… is watch.’

‘Go ahead if you have the guts!’

‘Time for your last question: name the remake of the groundbreaking…’

‘Halloween, Texas Chainsaw, Dawn of the Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, Amityville Horror, Last House on the Left, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, My Bloody Valentine, When A Stranger Calls, Prom Night, Black Christmas, House of Wax, The Fog, Piranha. It’s one of those, right? Right?’

‘This isn’t a comedy, it’s a horror film. People live, people die and you’d better start running’

‘Wait, wait you’re not supposed to kill me! I’m… I’m gay! …. If… if that helps?’

‘You forgot one rule about remakes – never fuck with the original.

‘Did that surprise you?’
‘Why?’
‘Because you talk too much!’
‘Now shut the fuck up and watch the movie.’

‘Four years of class together and you notice me now? You stupid bitch! It’s too late! Shhh, I know. It doesn’t happen as fast as it does in the movies, I know’

‘Your lemon squares taste like ass.’

‘It was the killer’s voice, from Stab. Or, I mean, you know, from your life.’

‘My friends? What world are you living in? I don’t need friends, I need fans. Don’t you get it? This has never been about killing you. It’s about, becoming you. I mean for fuck sake my own mother had to die, no great loss there, so I could stay true to the original. It’s sick, right? Well sick, is the new sane. You had your fifteen minutes, now I want mine! I mean what am I supposed to do? Go to college? Grad school? Work? Look around, we all live in public now, we’re all on the internet. How do you think people get famous anymore? You don’t have to achieve anything! You just got to have fucked up shit happen to you. So, you do have to die, Sid. Those are the rules. New movie, new franchise. There’s only room for one lead and let’s face it. Your ingenue days, they’re over, don’t tell me you didn’t know this day would come.’

9/10.

Just Go with It

Nicole Kidman was hilarious! Coconut competition was amusing. Hawaii… This young blonde one was annoying, I was like, when will she go? Kids were great. I really had a good time, this kid Mickey pooping on this ugly german’s hand. Favourite scene when he wanted to go back see Katherine, and she did the same thing. And Jen Aniston’s body!

‘I am a divorcee with 2 kids, and I have them name poop after you.’

‘Ian and I are breaking up.
‘What? Why? ‘
‘Well for starters, he’s gay. ‘
‘You know, I gotta say, last night, with the coconut in the ass, kind of a red flag.’

‘ I can’t wait to Twitter this to all my friends.’
‘ Oh I forgot, you’re 15.’

8/10

The Switch

After seeing this movie my mom was mad we didn’t see it at cinema. This was probably Jen Aniston at her best! Though my fav movie with her is always gonna be Rumor Has It, but this one was great too. When this kid got kicked and came to his daddy’s place, or how he hated this blonde one, and how she said: I turned him down, because he wasn’t you. I was like yeeah! And best scene was this main character’s best friend eaten a chocolate bar while on a running and said I’m a two at burning fat programme, and your burning muscules. And Julliette Lewis’s ‘Who bit the kid?’

‘Look at us, running around. Always rushed, always late. I guess that’s why they call it the human race. What we crave most in this world is connection. For some people it happens at first site. It’s when you know you know. It’s fate working its magic. And that’s great for them. They get to live in a pop song. Ride the express train. But that’s not the way it really works. For the rest of us, it’s a bit less romantic. It’s complicated, it’s messy. It’s about horrible timing, and fumbled opportunities. And not being able to say what you need to say when you need to say it. At least, that’s the way it was for me.’

9/10

Little Nicky

My favorite comedy ever! So many amazing quotes! I love all the movies that show us what hell does look like, but this is hilarious! Reese Witherspoon’s character 😀 Wes Craven’s movie with Ozzy in it and Tarantino! If that is what hell looks like I wanna go there! These two satanists are my favorite characters!

– Remember, you have to shove a pineapple up Hitler’s ass at 4 p.m.

– I’m from the South. The Deep South.

– You can do it, Ozzy! Bite ‘is freakin’ head off!

– Did you check out the dragon mouth?
– The Dark Prince is here!

– We are forever your slaves!

– I deserve this! I deserve this!

Kid: I came for the beer and the bitches.

– The last time you said everything was alright, the Renaissance happened.

9/10

Red Eye

I wanted to see this thriller of Wes Craven. And… the killer’s eyes were so bright, it was hard to look at him. I was hoping he’ll kill all these people on a plane, but unfortunately this didn’t happen. Rachel McAdams not bad, I wouldn’t write with soap on that mirror, I would probably write with a pen (if i had one) on a toilet paper, it was rather obvious that he’s going to come in and check her, I was so sure he wasn’t gonna miss this elevator, this old lady was annoying, Brian Cox rocked this movie, I was afraid he’ll die, and i was sad when he’s wallet was stolen and my hero is that redhead receptionist! And that stupid pair whining all the time, I mean come on, your hotel just exploded and you whine about some stupid room. I didn’t like it that much, but then my father said what the hell am i talking about, it was a good thriller, so maybe he’s right.

– You want us to fill out a comment card?
– Yes, I do… and after you finish, you can go ahead and just shove it up your ass.

7/10

Ghost World

I have already seen it once, but i didn’t remember much, and I always thought that Thora Birch was one of the best young actresses, so I watched it again. I couldn’t believe she got kicked out form scholarship. But the way she fucked up her life, that’s just how it is. Very good movie. And TJ Thyne is in it! I loved the satanist couple with their black umbrellas, and this guy with nunchaku!

-Do you serve beer or any alcohol?
-I wish. Actually you wish, after about five minutes of this movie, you’re gonna wish you had ten beers.

– So, what do you do if you’re a Satanist anyway?
-Sacrifice virgins and stuff.

8/10.

Cursed

I had no idea Christina Ricci starred in in. When this wolf attkted I was like what the hell, Cujo? Her brother is so annoying through all the movie, and Ricci is in half of the movies I like and I am still not her fan. Her dream was okay, guy waking up naked, oh god… when she started to smell blood, immediately I was like, Penelope? That was lame, then she started listening to Three Days Grace’ Are you ready, and I was like, thank you. When this guy came and said he’s gay, I almost pissed myself. I wouldn’t guess her boyfriend was a wolf too, It was pretty obvious that wolfman is going to attack this bitch in pantera costume, right? When he yelled to the moon with that face, I was like, come on. Then I was like oh, look, what a cute teddy bear. I don’t see how could they think they are not wolves anyomore? Hate happy endings. The only plus  was Judy Greer, who gave her best! I just don’t like werewolfs horrors and that was definitely Wes Craven’s worst movie.

I guess there’s no such thing as safe sex with a werewolf.

Fair fight? This is Hollywood!

-What the fuck was that?
-My dog.
-What kinda dog do you have?

– I’m not going to kill her. I’m just gonna rip her to shreds and let her choke on her own blood… and then maybe I’ll eat her.

2/10

The Dark

I actually liked it a lot, I have no idea why it reminded me of Orphanage so much, but it just did. This Ebril was so evil, father looked like he didn’t give  adamn about his daughter, and then naive thought it was her. I just loved the ending, the story of the family, and how the hell could he tell her that he’s gonna be her father, he forgot about his daughter already? Gorgeous views nice storyline.

7/10

The Husk

Was thinking about Children of corn all the time watching it, and that was a masterpiece, this one was just very crappy. All I have to say is nice location/corn.

2/10

My Soul To Take

Better than Cursed but definitely second worst movie of Wes Craven. Not bad, but nothing special. Main character, terrible acting.

3/10

Lymelife

Emma Roberts and Rory Culkin in the 3rd movie together. Hated the main character, his brother was great though. I have to say people claim it was a very good movie, but I saw million stories like that. Alec Baldwin and Cythia Nixon ruled this movie. Points up for the perfect ending.

7/10.

Broken

Remind me again why was I watching this shit? That was just terrible, one of the worst movies I so.

2/10.

Butcher House

That dark girl, not sure what was she supposed to represent goth/metal brought shame to all the people of these ethnic groups, she was just a coward.

7/10.

Imagine Me And You

One of the cutest romantic comedies ever. Definitely one of my favorites.

9/10.

The Haunting

Not that bad. Loved the place, this building was an abolute masterpiece, new all the actors but didn’t like anyone, ok, maybe Catherina Zeta Jones’ character was a good friend. Nice climate. Beautiful beaulding. Love special effects.

6/10.

Hatchet

Very disappointed. I just don’t like movies were the killer is some disabled kid. All characters annoying. Decided to give it a shot when I read Robert Englund was starring, and he usually guarantees a good movie, but from all movie it was his character that I loved, and unfortunately he got killed after two minutes on screen. I feel bad this black guy died, he was my favorite!

Move your asses, you don’t want to get killed do you?

3/10.

Blair Witch Project

Had time, watched it again. Don’t know why people love it so much, but I love it too.

8/10.

Lost Things

Not bad, could have been worse.

7/10.

Pilots of TV Series I liked the most

25 Monday Apr 2011

Pilots are probably the most important episodes because they can encourage you to watch certain tv shows. I think it is very bad if a series has a already going plot so that we join lives of characters, like it has been on friends, sex and the city, six feet under. There need to be a good introducing of characters.

So my absolutely favorite 3 are:

1. Lost – because it was just phenomenal! something that tv hasn’t seen yet. everyone was excited about this show, and after pilot even more!

2. Greys Anatomy – because we see how the interns meet for the first time and struggle with surgeries and hospital for the first time.

3. Desperate Housewives – I always love rewatching it, we meet four housewives, we are being told the fifth one has just shot herself, and we just need to see more.

The rest of good pilots:

4. V – 2009 one, I liked it much more than the old one, but I’m sure it was more suprising to watch the 80s version, because it was a big step in tv and special effects, now this one is very good written and shocking as well.

5. Dexter – tonight is the night, it’s going to happen again, it has to happen. Do I really need to say anything more? From the pilot I just felt in love with Dexter and his love for blood and urge to kill and Rita. I didn’t watch it when I started writing this post, now I watched all the series.

6. Bones – It was funny, we meet all these amazing characters, Brennan got arrested by Booth, and kicked some asses.

7. Castle – We meet two very interesting characters and we love the ending. Not watching but planning to.

8. Cougar Town – Ladies and gentlemen that’s my mother. Need to add sth? Yeah, didn’t think so.

9. Judging Amy – Amy’s first day as a judge. She has some problems, we fall in love with her right away, we meet these other two amazing characters, her daughter and her mother.

10. Private Practice – I was hoping for a big opening episode like Greys Anatomy, but It was actually very good. Great first cases. Ambulance within  20 minutes. Felt in love with Violet right away.

I posted here some tv shows i do not watch but liked pilots, like Castle. Other shows I watched just to see if pilots were good or seen it before: Six Feet Under, True Blood, Dr.House, Buffy, Charmed, 24, No ordinary Family, Better with you, The OC, Degrassi TNG, Degrassi JHS, Skins, Sugar Rush, Samantha Who, Dirt, 90210, Pretty Little Liars, Brothers And Sisters, Ally McBeal, Close To Home, Eleventh Hour, Community, Mr.Sunshine, Off the map, Body of proof, Angel, Friends, Sex and the City and few more.

If there’s any good pilot I haven’t seen please tell me, I really want to see it 🙂

Kelly Clarkson

I needed some new music to listen to while I’m exercising, so I thought why not Kelly? From time to time chose some new artist to check out their stuff, and since Kelly was always on the mouths of my friends, and since I’ve seen my favorite youtube fan videos way to many times and it has been her songs that awesome guys combined with my favorite tv series, I said, I need music to jog anyway. Before this whole 1 week spent listening to mostly kelly, before that I only heard of these songs: addicted, maybe, never again, because of you, my life would suck without you, where is my heart, i do not hook up, breakaway, already gone, these hazel eyes, since you been gone. From 4 CD’s that I have listened to, the one I liked the most was definitely Breakaway. Let’s see which songs did I like. First 20 are the ones I really liked, and I added 5 plus.

1. Addicted

This song I knew long time ago, I sing it all the time, It’s one of the most important songs ever for me, unfortunately I can’t tell you why it’s that important.

It’s like you’re a drug
It’s like you’re a demon I can’t face down
It’s like I’m stuck
It’s like I’m running from you all the time
And I know I let you have all the power
It’s like the only company I seek is misery all around
It’s like you’re a leech
Sucking the life from me
It’s like I can’t breathe
Without you inside of me
And I know I let you have all the power
And I realize I’m never gonna quit you over time

It’s like I can’t breathe
It’s like I can’t see anything
Nothing but you
I’m addicted to you
It’s like I can’t think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You’ve taken over me
It’s like I’m not me
It’s like I’m not me

It’s like I’m lost
It’s like I’m giving up slowly
It’s like you’re a ghost that’s haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head
Are mine alone
And I know I’ll never change my ways
If I don’t give you up now

I’m hooked on you
I need a fix
I can’t take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I’ll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that’s it
Just a little bit more to get me through this
I’m hooked on you
I need a fix
I can’t take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I’ll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that’s it
Just a little bit more to get me through this

2. Because of you

Everyone knows, and loves this song, am I right?

I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
‘Cause my heart so much misery

I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt

Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes

I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with

I watched you die, I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young, you should have known
Better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain

Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in

Because of you
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you, I am afraid

3. Maybe

I’m strong
But I break
I’m stubborn
And I make plenty of mistakes
Yeah I’m hard
And life with me is never easy
To figure out, to love
I’m jaded but oh so lovely
All you have to do is hold me
And you’ll know and you’ll see just how sweet it can be
If you’ll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe

Someday
When we’re at the same place
When we’re on the same road
When it’s okay to hold my hand
Without feeling lost
Without all the excuses

I’m confusing as hell
I’m north and south
And I’ll probably never have it all figured out
But what I know is I wasn’t meant to walk this world without you
And I promise I’ll try
Yeah I’m gonna try to give you every little part of me
Every single detail you missed with your eyes

One day
We’ll meet again and you’ll need me, you’ll see me completely
Every little bit
Oh yeah maybe you’ll love me, you’ll love me then

I don’t want to be tough
And I don’t want to be proud
I don’t need to be fixed and I certainly don’t need to be found
I’m not lost
I need to be loved
I just need to be loved
I just want to be loved by you and I won’t stop ’cause I believe

I should know better than to touch the fire twice
But I’m thinking maybe, yeah maybe you might

4. Cry

If anyone asks,
I’ll tell them we both just moved on
When people all stare
I’ll pretend that I don’t hear them talk
Whenever I see you,
I’ll swallow my pride
and bite my tongue
Pretend I’m okay with it all
Act like there’s nothing wrong

Is it over yet?
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?
Cry

If anyone asks,
I’ll tell them we just grew apart
Yeah what do I care
If they believe me or not
Whenever I feel
Your memory is breaking my heart
I’ll pretend I’m okay with it all
Act like there’s nothing wrong

I’m talking in circles
I’m lying, they know it
Why won’t this just all go away

5. Where is your heart?

I don’t believe
In the smile that you leave
When you walk away
And say goodbye
Well I don’t expect
The world to move underneath me
But for God’s sake
Could you try?
I know that you’re true to me
You’re always there
You say you care
I know that you want to be mine

Where is your heart?
‘Cause I don’t really feel you
Where is your heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard
To give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed
That’s all I’m asking for
Oh, where is your heart?

I don’t understand
Your love is so cold
It’s always me that’s reaching out
For your hand
And I’ve always dreamed
That love would be effortless
Like a petal fallin’ to the ground
A dreamer followin’ his dream

It seems so much is left unsaid
So much is left unsaid
But you can say anything
Oh, anytime you need
Baby, it’s just you and me
Oh yeah

6. Save You

I Can Tell
I Can Tell
How much You hate This
Deep Down Inside
You Know It’s Killing Me
I Can Call, Wish You Well
And Try To Change This
But Nothing I Can Say
Would Change Anything

Where Were My Senses
I Left Them All Behind
Why Did I Turn Away

I Wish I Could Save You
I Wish I Could Say To You
I’m Not Going Nowhere
I Wish I Could Say To You
It’s Gonna Be Alright
It’s Gonna Be Alright

I Didn’t Mean
Didn’t Mean
To Leave You Stranded
Lent Away Cause I
Didn’t Want To Face The Truth

Reaching Out
Reach For Me
Empty Handed
You Don’t Know if I Care
You’re Trying To Find The Proof

There Were Times I’d Wonder
Could I Have Eased Your Pain
Why Did I Turn Away

We Can Pretend Nothings Changed
Pretend It’s All The Same
And There Will Be No Pain
Tonight
It’s Gonna Be Alright

7. If No one wants to listen

Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do you think that there’s enough you might drown?

If no one will listen, if you decide to speak
If no one’s left standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you, for what you really are
I will be here still

No one can tell you where you alone must go
There’s no telling what you find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It’s screaming every step, “Just stay here?

If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find you’ve been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn’t have to face down your own hate

8. Hear Me

You gotta be out there You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I’m waiting
‘Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I’m hopin’ my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?

Hear me
I’m cryin’ out
I’m ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I’m lost inside the crowd
It’s getting loud
I need you to see
I’m screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I’m not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?

I’m restless and wild
I fall, but I try
I need someone to understand
Can you hear me?
I’m lost in my thoughts
And baby I’ve fought
For all that I’ve got
Can you hear me?

9. Don’t let me stop you

I used to be a little bit shy, I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my emotions has always been hard
But this just can’t wait, tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won’t let one more day pass without you explaining what we are

This is gonna sound kind of silly but I couldn’t help but notice
The last time you kissed me you kept both eyes open
Baby can you tell me what does that mean?
If you’re looking over your shoulder then you don’t need to be with me
And I don’t need to hold on

Don’t let me stop you from doing what you wanna do
You don’t wanna stick, trust me it’s cool, take no chance, get over you
No, no don’t let me stop you, if you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don’t pretend that you’re into me if it ain’t true
No don’t let me stop you

I’m out of things I can take, gotta high threshold for pain
Let’s get one thing straight I’m not down to share you with anyone
If that’s not what you’re looking for, nice knowing you but there’s the door
‘Cause I know I can find someone who give me what I want

Even if I end up broken hearted I won’t lie
I don’t wanna hear goodbye but either way I’ll be alright

10. Already gone

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they’re haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would’ve worked out right
We were never meant for do or die

I didn’t want us to burn out
I didn’t come here to hold you, now I can’t stop

I want you to know that it doesn’t matter
Where we take this road someone’s gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn’t have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I’m already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you’ll find another
That doesn’t always make you want to cry

Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn’t keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go

I’m already gone, already gone
You can’t make it feel right when you know that it’s wrong
I’m already gone, already gone
There’s no moving on so I’m already gone

11. Never Again

I hope the ring you gave to her
Turns her finger green
I hope when you’re in bed with her
You think of me

I would never wish bad things
But I don’t wish you well
Could you tell
By the flames that burned your words?

I never read your letter
‘Cause I knew what you’d say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try and make it all okay

Does it hurt
To know I’ll never be there?
Bet it sucks
To see my face everywhere

It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know

You knew
Exactly what you would do
Don’t say
You simply lost your way

She may believe you
But I never will
Never again

If she really knows the truth
She deserves you
A trophy wife, oh how cute

Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes
And he’s through with you
And he’ll be through with you
You’ll die together but alone

You wrote me in a letter
You couldn’t say it right to my face
Well give me that Sunday school answer
Repent yourself away

Never again will I hear you
Never again will I miss you
Never again will I fall to you
Never

Never again will I kiss you
Never again will I want to
Never again will I love you
Never

12. Gone

What you see’s not what you get
With you there’s just no measurement
No way to tell what’s real from what isn’t there
Your eyes they sparkle
That’s all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don’t care

You know you did it
I’m gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I’ve finally moved on
I’m already gone

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you’re broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn’t cut it, babe
Take the hit and walk away
‘Cause I’m gone
Doesn’t matter what you do
It’s what you did that’s hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I’m gone

What you see’s not what you get
What you see’s not what you get

13. Behind these hazel eyes

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin’ could go wrong
Now I can’t breathe
No, I can’t sleep
I’m barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that’s left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don’t cry on the outside
Anymore

14. Breakaway

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I’d just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I’d end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I’d try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I’ll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget all the ones that I loved

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging ’round revolving doors
Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye

15. Since U Been Gone

Here’s the thing we started off friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since you’ve been gone

You dedicated you took the time
Wasn’t long till I called you mine
Yeah Yeah
Since you’ve been gone

And all you’d ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That’s all you’d ever hear me say

But since you’ve been gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since you’ve been gone

How can I put it? you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song

How come I never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way

You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can’t take it
Again and again and again and again

16. Low

Everybody’s talking
But they don’t say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I don’t want the sympathy
Its cool you didn’t want me
Sometimes you can’t go back
But why’d you have to go and make a mess like that
Well I just have to say
Before I let go

Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low

No I don’t need your number
There’s nothing left to say
Except I never thought it’d hurt this much to be saved
My friends are outside waiting
I’ve gotta go

I walk out of this darkness
With no sense of regret
And I go with a clear conscience
We both know that you can’t say that
Here’s to show
For all the time I loved you so…

17. I hate myself

I woke up today
Woke up wide awake
In an empty bed
Staring at an empty room

I have myself to blame
For the state I’m in today
And now dying, doesn’t seem so cruel
And oh, I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know anyway, anymore

I hate myself for losing you
I’m seeing it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he’s not here?

You got what you deserved
Hope you’re happy now
‘Cause every time I think of her with you
It’s killing me
Inside, and now I dread each day
Knowing that I can’t be saved
From the loneliness of living without you
And, oh, I don’t know what to do
Not sure that I’ll pull through, I wish you knew

What do you say when every thing’s said?
Is the reason why he left you in the end?
How do you cry when every tear you shed
Won’t ever bring him back again?
I hate myself for loving you

18. Trouble

Love can be a many splendored thing
Can’t deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It’ll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind,
It’ll fool ya every time

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It’s stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn’t care how fast you fall
And you can’t refuse the call
See, you got no say at all

Now I was once a fool, it’s true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my world’s a deeper blue
I’m sadder, but I’m wiser too
I swore I’d never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn’t worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name

Every time I turn around
I think I’ve got it all figured out
My heart keeps callin’ and I keep on fallin’
Over and over again
This sad story always ends the same
Me standin’ in the pourin’ rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two

19. My life would suck without you

Guess this means you’re sorry
You’re standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you’d never come back
But here you are again

‘Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin’ to pick a fight
I know that I’ve got issues
But you’re pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I’m nothing without you

Being with you
Is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn’t miss you
But I can’t let you go
Oh yeah

20. Long Shot

I felt it
The wire touched my neck and
Then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it coming
I started to black out and
Then someone said good morning
I took it as a warning
I should have seen it coming
So now I’ll take a chance on
This thing we may have started
Intentional or not I
Dont think we saw it coming
It’s all adding up to something
That asks for some involvement
That asks for our commitment
I think I see it coming
If we step out of that limb

My heart beat, beats me senselessly
Why’s everything got to be so intense with me?
Im trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability

It’s a long shot but I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I’ll regret it
It’s a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won’t make it
But I know if I don’t take it
There’s no chance
Cause you’re the best I got
So take the long shot

I realize that there is all this doubting
That we’re both scared about but
Well never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind and
Well see which way it’s blowing
And to this pulling on
We’ll never see it coming
Until it’s much to close to stop

Oh I waited for fact to come of fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we’ll make it even though

21. All I ever wanted

Tear up the photographs, but yesterday won’t let go
Every day, every day, every minute
Here comes the emptiness, just can’t be lonely you know
Every day, every day, hey, hey

This second chancin’s really getting me down
You give and takin’ everything I dreamed about
It’s time you let me know, let me know, just let go

All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
Where every law reveals the truth
Baby ’cause I all ever wanted, all I ever wanted was you

I’d rather walk alone, don’t wanna chase you around
Every day, every day, every minute
I fall a thousand times for I let you drag me down
Every day, every day, hey, hey

Your new beginning was a perfect ending
But I keep feeling we’ve already been here before
It’s time you let me know, let me know, just let go

Tell me with so many out there why I always turn to you?
Your goodbyes tear me down every time
And it’s so easy to see that the blame is on me

22. If I can’t have you

Hearts break too fast when they’re sentimental
Won’t stay won’t last when it’s love at first sight
So why are my convictions blinded by your spotlight
Can’t breathe can’t sleep with some medication
I’ll kiss goodbye to my reservations
I know there’s other fish out in the sea
Not for me
I want you

If I can’t have you then I don’t want anyone
If I can’t have you then all the damage has been done baby
You can break these rules if you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you will lose if I can’t have you

Heartbeat cold sweat thoughts slipping under
Can’t fight no threat cause there’s just no use
One look, no hesitation
I’m slipping into you
Forgive these eyes these lips you’re tasting
No time to waste on an invitation
My shame my self control has suffered enough
Everybody wants to be loved

I haven’t seen the best that love has had to offer
They say perfection’s always right around the corner
Could be true
But if I can’t have you…

23. Beautiful disaster

He drowns in his dreams, an exquisite extreme I know
He’s as damned as he seems and more Heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him my whole world could cave in
It just ain’t right, Lord, it just ain’t right

Oh, and I don’t know, I don’t know what he’s after
But he’s so beautiful, he’s such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on through the tears and the laughter
Lord, would it be beautiful or just a beautiful disaster?

He’s magic and myth, as strong as what I believe
And a tragedy with more damage than a soul should see
But do I try to change him? So hard not to blame him
Hold me tight, baby, hold me tight

Oh, and I don’t know, I don’t know what he’s after
But he’s so beautiful, he’s such a beautiful disaster
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/k/kelly-clarkson-lyrics/beautiful-disaster-lyrics.html ]
And if I could hold on through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful or just a beautiful disaster?

I’m longing for love and the logical but he’s only happy hysterical
I’m searching for some kind of miracle, waiting so long, I’ve waited so long
He’s soft to the touch but frayed at the ends he breaks
He’s never enough and still he’s more than I can take

24. Impossible

Just woke up and thought I’d try, try to step across the line
You know that I’ve been thinking ’bout it for a while, yeah
Starting to think it’s time I leave does me good to know I finally feel
Feel this pain, it’s real, it’s possible

You say
Can’t change the winds to say, won’t matter anyway
Can’t reach that far ’cause it’s impossible
Can’t rise above this place, won’t change your mind so I pray
Breaking down the walls to the impossible

Walking by myself I know this lonely road’s becoming my new home
But I don’t stop I just keep moving on, and on
Ain’t no need to dry my eyes, I haven’t cried in quite some time
Everyday I fight it, you know it’s possible

Someone tell me why it’s so hard taking chances?
You draw the line and think that I won’t ask for more, yeah
I will stumble and I’ll make my own mistakes, yeah
But I won’t worry about it anymore, it’s impossible

Can’t change the winds to say, won’t matter anyway
Can’t reach that far ’cause it’s impossible
Can’t rise above this place, won’t change your mind so I pray
Breaking down the walls to the impossible

It’s impossible to you, not impossible to me
Not impossible for me
Can’t rise above this place, won’t change your mind so I pray
Breaking down the walls to the impossible

25. Miss independent

Miss Independent
Miss Self-sufficient
Miss Keep-your-distance

Miss Unafraid
Miss Outta-my-way
Miss Don’t-let-a-man-interfere, no

Miss On-her-own
Miss Almost-grown
Miss Never-let-a-man-help-her-off-her-throne

So, by keeping her heart protected
She?d never ever feel rejected
Little Miss Apprehensive
I said ooh, she fell in love

What is this feeling taking over?
Thinking no one could open the door
Surprise! It?s time to feel what?s real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you, when love is true

Miss Guarded-heart
Miss Play-it-smart
Miss If-you-wanna-use-that-line-you-better-not-start, no

But she miscalculated
She didn?t want to end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love
So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love

When Miss Independent walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to Miss No-longer-afraid?

It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of, “Why can?t that be me?”
I’m so glad I finally see

Since these are mostly love songs, this is totally not for me, I’ve missed songs about death.

Grey’s Anatomy Music Event!

02 Saturday Apr 2011

Posted by Joanne in tv series

≈ Leave a comment

Okay, so I have so many emotions connected with musical episode! It’s probably the biggest event since Charlotte’s rape on Private Practice. Watching this episode was like, oooo THIS momennt, this moment, this moment, all the time! Firstly, can I just say how suprised I am in general by actors vocal abilities! Of course I am impressed by voices of Sara Ramirez, Chyler Leigh and Chandra Wilson, but I heard them singing before so It wasn’t suprising. Besides these three amazing ladies I loved voices of McKidd, I was so shocked when I heard him sing probably the most! Jessica Capshaw, that duet with Sara, oh my perfect! Eric Dane, wow, he can start a rock band already! and Justin Chambers, very nice as well and I wish we could hear more from Kim Raver.

As I always need to categorise everything I put the songs in order of likes.

1.  The Story

Sara Ramirez’s voice, from all the songs in this episode that was mastership!

I climbed across the mountaintops
Swim across the ocean blue
I cross over lines and I broke all the rules
And baby I broke them all for you

Oh because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do, I was made for you

You see the smile that’s on my mouth
It’s hiding the words that don’t come out
All of the friends who think that I’m blessed
They don’t know my head is a mess

No they don’t know who I really am
And they don’t know what I’ve been through
Like you do, and I was made for you

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am

Oh but these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true, I was made for you
Oh yeah, and it’s true that I was made for you

When I heard it for the first time I started crying at swim across ocean blue, so at the end when she sings these stories don’t mean anything when you’ve got no one to tell them to you just hear these words and you just burst into tears.

2. Chasing cars

I would feel crazy If a ginger started singing to me when I’m in ER. When Sara and McKidd start singing together oh my! And them all in three with Chandra!

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see

I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

3. Breathe

I have a particular relationship with this song, as I sang it in a local singing competition few years back, still remember all the words 🙂 It’s just so beautiful, I’m glad Chyler Leigh got to sing it cause she did a great job!

2 AM and she calls me cause I’m still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don’t love him, winter just wasn’t my season.
Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you’re all here for the very same reason.

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
“Just a day,” he said down to the flask in his fist
Ain’t been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he’s been down for while
But my God it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him maybe I’ll just sing about it

There’s a light at each end of this tunnel
You shout cause you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
And these mistakes you’ve made
You’ll just make them again if you’ll only try turnin’ around

2 AM and I’m still awake writing this song
If i get it all down on paper it’s no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin’ out aloud
And I know that you’ll use them however you want to.

But you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand…yeah breathe
Just breathe, oh oh breathe, just breathe, oh breathe,
just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe…

4. Universe and U

This amazing scene, particular scene when Arizona and Callie sing together, the way Callie’s looking at her, oh my!

A fire burns
Water comes
You cool me down
When I’m cold inside
You are warm and bright
You know you are so good for me
With your child eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you’ve been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully

You know there’s no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you’re miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you

Just like stars burning bright
Making holes in the night
We are building bridges

You know there’s no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you’re miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
The universe and you, the universe and you.

When you’re on your own
I’ll send you a sign
Just so you know
I am me, the universe and you.

I am the universe and you,
I am the unvierse and you.

5. Grace

It’s hard to listen to this song without thinking of scene from season 2 right? I know I can’t. But from this episode the most amazing part was the scene when all the attending are running in slow motion with Callie sitting on bed. And look at Addison, perfect!

I’m on my knees Only memories I left for me to hold. Don’t know how, but I’ll get by Slowly pull myself together. I’ll get through this There’s no escape So keep me safe This feels so unreal. Nothing comes easily Fill this empty space Nothing is like it seems Turn my grief to grace. I feel the cold Loneliness unfold like From another world Come what may I won’t fade away, but I know I might change Nothing comes easily where do I begin Nothing can bring me peace I’ve lost everything. I just want to feel your embrace

6. How to save a life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

7. Running on Sunshine

The part when girls start singing! Oh my and Teddy and Henry! And how Kim Raver dances around his bed! Oh my! The way Chyler Leigh sings!

Girl you got me tripping on sunshine
God knows you just made my day
Since you came around, I just can’t slow down, no
I wanna see you walk in my way, yeah

Hey just get over yourself
This ain’t too good for your health
Hey just get over yourself

You got me runnin’ on sunshine
And ain’t no clouds getting in my way, no
I must be running on sunshine
And ain’t no rain getting in my way

These 7 were my favorite, the other two were great sung but I think writers could have picked different songs.

8. Wait

sung by Chandra Wilson

Wait, wait for the dawn my dear
Wait till the sun gets here
And you will wait too long he will be gone
Wait, wait till the sun shines through
Wait till the sky is blue
And you will wait too long he will be gone, he will be gone

Ooh, he will be gone
Ooh, he will be gone

Wait, wait till the signs are right
Wait till the perfect time
And you will wait too long he will be gone, he will be gone

9. How we operate

sung by McKidd, can I just say how much he ROCKED this song? Amazing!

Calm down
And get straight
It’s in our eyes
It’s how we operate
You’re true
You are
I’d apologize but it won’t go very far

Please come here
Come right on over
And when we collide we’ll see what gets left over
A little joy
A little sorrow
And a little pride so we won’t have to borrow
Wherever you lead, I’ll follow

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I’ll try to see things your way

Please come here
Please come on over
There is no line that you can’t step right over
Without you well I’m left hollow
So can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
‘Cos baby tonight I’ll follow

The way that we’ve been speaking now
I swear that we’d be friends, I swear
‘Cos all these little deals go down with
Little consequences, we share, we share

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I’ll try to see things your way
And I’m gonna love you anyway

Try to see things your way
Try to see things your way

Favorite scene of the episode?

When Arizona says: Can you just…can you live? Can you live, for me? Please, Live for me.

and when they sing together, and Callie is looking at her with all the love. Yes, Calzona is the best tv couple ever!

Did you get from which episodes were all the songs? i remembered 6 particular scenes to 6 songs when I watched the episode and I needed to check 3. Summing up, it was one of the best Grey’s Anatomy episode. My work for now is to paint 4 scenes I picked: Arizona crying, when Callie is crushing, Lexie, when she walks on the hallway, is pushed by people, because it was like a real musical scene, and Callie on seating on that bed with all the doctors running, and the scene of Calzona singing, this is going to be the perfect Saturday.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started as weekly reviews on movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, partially thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd, and partially because of my demanding day job.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘I used to think about
your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’
‘No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.’ (Greys)

‘Where the hell was I that year?’
‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)

‘It’s impossible to worry about anything else when there’s blood coming out of you.’
(Short Term 12)

‘I wanted it to happen. And when we were girls… Even then, it was the same. It’s always been this way! I have always wanted it.’ (Disobedience)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are going to change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed a feel like I might die today.’ (Greys)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘Bree sobbed quietly in the restroom for five miutes, but her husband never knew, because when Bree finally emerged, she was perfect.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘I am not food, you cannot just eat and eat.’ (The Favourite)

‘I don’t love him.’
‘Of course you do.’
‘No!’
‘Don’t take me for a fool Olive,  I’m many things but I’m not a fool.’
‘I know that, you’re brilliant.’
‘Don’t you see, it’s over. Whatever this is, was, it’s over.’
‘I love You.’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing, is reason enough to celebrate.’ (Greys)

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?’
‘When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?’

‘Give me my chart.’
‘Why?’
‘Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.’ (Greys)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’
‘No. I was ill.’
‘What sort of ill?’
‘In my head.’
‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)
