Thank you all for saying you like longer reviews, no worries, that’s what I’m here for. A friend asked me this week why was Lost called Lost not Stranded, and I may have my suspicion, but Stranded, longer in name and harder to pronounce does seem like a better fit. Why isn’t Lost on Netflix though? I miss it every day. Speaking of Netflix, lots of Disney and Pixar films expire this week, 76 titles in the UK. Even though some of them were added a couple of days ago like Heavyweights, look into it and choose your titles, I will definitely be watching a few for example the original The Parent Trap.

Greys 12.20

A gun control episode. Two young boys play with a gun one’s mother kept in her house. When it comes to our beloved characters…Why is Callie being so stupid? Why is she changing her life for someone she’s been dating for 6 months? I know the timeframe is a little off, because of Meredith’s leave.p How dare she ask Karev to support her in the custody battle when Arizona is Alex’s menthor and best friend? It looks like Meredith will stand with Callie which really upsets me. Let’s see. Arizona: Richard, April, Alex, Bailey? I think Bailey, cause she did not like Callie’s decision to leave Grey Sloan (I just wrote Seattle Grace, hah miss those days) Callie: Meredith, and I’m guessing… Avery, Owen and the residents? I know that Callie is Sophia’s biological mother, but I really hope Arizona wins.

I just sent something really dirty to Meredith Grey.
You’re a very classy lady.
Oh yeah I got it good.
I wouldn’t, I’m classy, remember?
Family messes you up.
It’s better than lonely and crazy like me.
Or having sex with your phone in resident lounge.
You’re giving up your career to chase tail-girl.
I lived in my car when I was 16.

The Middle 7.20

A great episode, even though Sue wasn’t her joyful self, Sue and Frankie were arguing and Frankie and Mike got drunk. I know how Sue feels, hell, I was a vegan for 4 years and I’ve been a vegetarian for 8 years. I know how it feels to want to save the world. But now I understand that me not eating cheese will not save the world and I must not make my life harder because of my beliefs. I’m happy being a vegetarian, and ex vegan. I still don’t eat eggs, as I find it inhuman. It’s not my battle. You win some, you lose some, but pick a reasonable goal. I realized, after 4 years of being vegan, that what pushed me even further was everyone being impressed with my will power. Sure some people were calling me stupid, but most of them were cheering me on and being interested in how I’m doing. But when I went to college, I realized it doesn’t matter, and no one really cares anyway. When it comes to health, let me tell you, yes, I was feeling so much better than now. I was much thinner too. And honestly If I wasn’t such sucker for cheese, I would still be a vegan. Now back to the show I only started watching last December, but fell in love completely. Frankie never fails to be just like us, in this episode getting a snickers bar at Home Depot, I may have done that at Ikea, so you know. I hope Brick marries Cindy, cause they’re just equally weird and I think their marriage would work. This episode Brick gets overboard when he gets an email from an online store asking for his opinion. He spends the whole afternoon writing a review. It’s just like me and this blog, but I genuinely love it. I love the Hecks, and honestly they are just like my family, but not ever vacuuming is just gross. Who else loved that Christmas Carol reference? This show literally makes me reconsider not wanting to have kids and not wanting to work in a primary school. Not Full House, not Parenthood, not other show ever did this to me, but The Middle. It seems like it’s lovely to have someone depend on you and it’s good to be surrounded by someone who is still hopeful. I know three people who became primary school teachers, and honestly I always thought working with kids would be annoying, and I always laughed at teachers for being stuck at school, while kids move on, but I don’t know anymore. I would be good as a school counselor or school psychologist. Not in high school though, cause in high school everyone hates the counselor. I may reconsider this as plan Z or something.

What? I was just at Home Depot getting a snickers bar.
Marry Cindy, I mean it.
Do you ever vacuum?
Do you?
You just need to kick back, relax and enjoy a movie with too many white people in it.
I want my Sue back, happy Sue, sweet Sue.
I’m your ghost of future Christmas.
I gave this paper 9 stars for quality!?
Stranger danger!
I wiped his butt until he was 6. He couldn’t get it at all.
I was happy when I was driving everybody. Those three idiots in the back. I knew everything was okay, cause I was driving and I had it. I had everybody.
I’m just gonna end up like you anyway.

Bates Motel 4.03

Norma and Ramero finally got married! Of course Norman just got Norma in trouble and gave them a reason to suspect there’s people gone missing.

I’m an easy roommate, I work a lot.
Oh my God, someone married you?
She’s the most wonderful person in the world.
That people have died.
I have a reason to believe my mother is insane and is killing people.

9.5/10

Bates Motel 4.04

Oh great, now Norman is pretending to be a bulimic, a little too much Bates writers? Should they be downgrading eating disorders like this? Norman treating the orderly guy like a moron is probably the highlight of the episode, this and Norma smiling at Ramero. Norma made out with a stripper, who knows why was this a thing?

You obviously have no idea what is going on in this place.
Okay, thank you, well done, but no, bad idea.
I’m gonna tell about my feelings in group.
My mother, did she kill anybody?
Like we finally saw each other one day.

7.5/10

Bates Motel 4.05

Weakest episode of the season, but we’re finally talking about Norma’s relationship with her brother. Everyone go watch the Season 4 Catch Up Special, it’s 18 minutes long, very well detailed and absolutely amazing! It has many great scenes, like Norma’s rape in the pilot, Dylan finding out Norma’s brother is his dad and many more! It’s definitely the best Catch Up special out there.

Your brother, that explains everything.
You said that Caleb was your brother, when Caleb introduced himself as Dylan’s father.
Because you slept with your brother or are you ashamed because he raped you? Or are you ashamed, cause you loved him?

3/10

Bates Motel 4.06

Episode of the season, and one of 5 best Bates episodes and we finally learn the truth about Norma’s relationship with her brother! And on top off all that, it’s confirmed that Norman’s father raped Norma when she wasn’t ‘behaving’ or he was drunk, and during at least one of these occasions, Norman was in the room witnessing the rape. This episode was absolutely painful, but beautiful and Norma’s monologue at the end was outstanding!

Actually, she’s charming.
You can’t share with the people you love that you had sex with your brother.
You’re like genuinely sweet.
Fine, I slept with my brother.
Do you think it was your fault?
How much older was he than you?
Four years.
If that information came out, that you had a son with your brother?
He wasn’t nice to Norma, or me or you.
I don’t want him to remember those things.
You never know what you’re capable of until you test it.
Break the woman in half? I am not broken. I am still standing. So go ahead, do your best.
When I was a teenager – it was a long time ago – um… I slept with my brother. I’m sorry. God, I’m sorry to have to tell you this. Oh, it’s horrible. I’m sorry. He’s Dylan’s father. Norma, you were young. It was a mistake. Mistake? It was not a mistake. It was a way of life. It happened for years. I loved him. Our home life was a torture, and we were all we had. I finally tried to stop it, and he got really upset and he raped me. You know how horrible it is to be raped by someone you love? And I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. But I don’t hate him enough to hurt him. And it’s a mess because I don’t know if part of why I hate Caleb so much is because I hate myself. So now you know who you’re married to. And I should have told you before, but I’ve never loved anyone enough to feel obligated to be honest with them. And… it sucks. It sucks because I can’t hide. And I want to, but I can’t. And Chick found out. He met Caleb when he was up at the farm working with Dylan. He just figured it out. And he has issues with my brother, and he was trying to find him, and he hold me that if I didn’t help him that he would tell you all of this, that he would spread it around town, and that he would humiliate you. So – I don’t know. Just go pack your bag.
Where are we going?

Nashville 4.16

Maddie is clearly out of control. When they singed the Stella sisters, I thought yes finally they’ll get extra singing time. Now Maddie is all deva like and Daphne is never singing anymore. I completely forgot Rayna and Juliette were both under 16 when they left home to pursue they careers. Do they remember they may get cancelled next month? We’re all happy we’ll get more Juliette songs as well, as she’s joined Luke’s tour with Lyla and Avery! Not the best episode.

And if you’d seen the song she was playing.
But without the voice, they’re just songs.
Somebody’s moving forward with their career.
Singing half dressed. Some guy grabbed her leg.
I could write a book.
I know what it is like to be a 16 year old girl and have a fight with her father and leave the house forever.
I don’t think there was anything to contain us at 16.
Miss Juliette Barnes!

The Vanishing. A Long Way Down. The Boy. RV. Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You. Kill Your Darlings. Postman Pat: The Movie

The Vanishing

A great thriller that everyone has to see. The ending, not as much disappointing as depressing, proves how pointless life can be. I have no clue why would Sandra Bullock’s character be so stupid to get into a car with a stranger to buy a freaking watch for her boyfriend just because she saw a picture of the stranger with his family. The girlfriend was a little absurd as well, why would you risk your life for someone you’ve met a couple months ago? The film also stars Jeff Bridges and Kiefer Sutherland. I need to watch the original soon, as I heard some interesting details that would have made this remake even better.

8/10

A Long Way Down

What a wonderful film. If not the happy ending, it would get a 10. I guess we need happy endings to remain hopeful. I may reach for the book as I wrote down so many important quotes. If you ever thought that you can’t go on or life doesn’t make any sense, trust me, this film will feel like a good friend.

9/10

The Boy

The Boy is trying to copy the whole living in the walls concept. There was this Irish horror last year called Housebound that also had a person hiding in the walls. If you want to see a good film about people living in walls, go watch Wes Craven’s masterpiece, People Under the Stairs, not these two. A true horror experience. The Boy could be so much better if only the doll actually had some spirit in it and actually moved by itself. This was just wanna be Annabelle or Chucky or that puppet from Goosebumps. The atmosphere through the first half of the film is why I’m gonna recommend this film. The biggest question of the film is, why, even, get a doll? Why pretend that’s their son? Annabelle was a mediocre film, but at least the doll moved and actually killed people, the special charm of Annabelle is the paranormal history behind the doll. Here we wait for horror to happen, and nothing. Recently I watched this other British film featuring a haunted doll called Robert based on a legend and it was creepier than this, even though it was a little worse as a whole.

6/10

RV

A partially fun comedy with Robin Williams, Cheryl Hines and JoJo. Who wouldn’t want to rent an RV and go on a road trip? Yeah, you won’t after watching this film. RV’s bathroom will make you reconsider. Other than the shitty explosion, literally, some jokes were actually good. Including Robin hanging on to wipers as the RV falls downhill. I loved the daughters relationship at the beginning when she calls him names, but they both know she loves him, as that’s exactly what life is. If you have or had this kind of relationship with your dad (I don’t see how it would work with mom) than congrats, cause that’s love and I’m lucky to have that. If you’re a real fan of either family films or Robin Williams, watch it, if not, you’re get bored and start screaming cheesy halfway through.

4/10

The Great Outdoors

Hmm so Annette Benning did crappy films like this one in the late 80s? That’s interesting. If you’ve been following this blog, you know that family films from the late 80s/90s are my jam. This one isn’t. When I saw this title was going to expire soon on Netflix, I didn’t think twice when I saw John Candy’s name listed in the cast? I loved Uncle Buck and John Candy seemed like one of the most approachable and nice people, so I was excited to get into it. 10 minutes in and I was already disappointed. Not as much as with another John Candy film I watched about two weeks later, Summer Rental. Now that was a tragedy. Reminded me of that film with Boy Scouts and that villain from Home Alone. It must be the woods. It was not very good, if you can, skip it.

4/10

Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You

The title! Just amazing. You’d give it a chance too, if you heard these words. The main character was a little annoying at times, but I enjoyed it as a whole as it was relatable at many parts. Existentialism is essential to all teenagers turning adults. Without it life would be incomplete. Not sure why he made a prank on his boss, that seemed a little off. There were a few smaller plots that required skipping to better the film, but it is what it is, and it’s not that bad.

6/10

Kill Your Darlings

No one told me Michael C. Hall aka Dexter or David Fisher is in it, as I would have seen it ages ago. I get that Daniel Radcliffe’s character was gay, but the pointless sex scene, which played at the same time as an important character was being killed was simply rude. Also, the film didn’t need that sex scene, but hey, whatever sells. Nothing is implied anymore. It’s important to remember that is to some extent a biography of these important writers.

7/10

Postman Pat: The Movie

Postman Pat is a children series from my childhood. The film more or less massacred the memory. After watching this, I realized that half of Pat’s charm was that it wasn’t an animation, but dolls. Did Pat have a son in the original series? I don’t remember. Most of the characters that played an important role in the series were only shown from the distance and never had any dialogue. While there were tons of new characters no one wanted to get to know. Was there such a big post office in the series? With a few postmen? I thought it was just Pat. Guys, do you remember the episode where there was a blizzard and Pat could not deliver the mail cause it has snowed in that badly? I still remember how he was trying to get through the snow even though I haven’t seen the show in over 16 years. And here, it just randomly came to mind. There were some parts that were fun, but the whole Pat’s clones/The X Factor/Simon Cowell thing was a huge no. And that unfortunately was the whole film. I am very glad that Postman Pat was a part of my early childhood, but I’m also glad the film wasn’t.

Who will even watch Castle without Beckett? Every Castle fan ever is feeling very crappy this week as Stana Katic was written off Castle. (Lanie too) No one wants to see Castle, Alexis and that new PI in LA or NY or wherever as long as Beckett is not with them.

Greys 12.18

I just love CCTV portrayal in films and TV, as that’s what I do for a living. And yep, that door opened.

Mom’s in OR 1, dad’s in OR 2.

9.5/10

Greys 12.19

Who would have thought I’d be Callie and Arizona fighting for custody, not April and Avery. When I heard Callie say Arizona can come visit I thought why is she so sure, she’ll get custody, cause Arizona cheated? And then as Arizona was sitting at that lawyer’s office, I remembered that Callie is Sofia’s biological mother, and however unfair it feels (Arizona raised that child from day 1), Callie has custodial priority. The jury with Maggie and Meredith and Owen was just the perfect fit. Ben calling Tuck his kid was just the cutest, also when Bailey called him Benjamin. I am so happy they changed the kid who plays Sophia, cause this one is a cutie. Also, why does the new Zola look so much like Shonda? Is that her kid?

I know I’m only here for support…
About, I don’t know a 100 feet.

So I don’t leave our child asleep in his bed.

SVU 17.13

Sometimes the more witnesses, the less help.
I learned to function while drunk.
I think she’ll be drinking by Friday night.

Shameless 6.05

We are so organized for a homeless family.
Never fails, Gallagher crisis, Frank is drunk and high.
We got evicted.

10/10

The Good Wife 7.13

That monologue. Probably best of The Good Wife of all times.

He just whispered Help Me.
Sir, if you want my help…
Sometimes I want to pull covers over my head and never do anything. I’m drinking like I never had before.
And al I wanna do is have another one.
Now I’m sick to death of everything.
I’m stuck in this stupid little apartment.
I’m not build to be an unhappy person wondering what ever happened to my life.
Do you have any guns in this apartment?

10/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.15

Hmm, is Frank gone?

What’s wrong with you, you stupid?
I live alone, it’s not that bad.
Micheala relax, I know how to handle this.
Caleb killed my mother.
Because I’m in love with him.
Are we supposed to believe any of that?
Why do you keep doing it? Believing what men tell you.
He needs to go.

10/10

Nashville 4.15

I’m obsessed with that Wild Car song.

I’ve been with him since I was 14.
I’m a sick chick, I’m a real sick chick.
To the man I have always thought of as my father.
Everybody’s got a sad song and this one’s mine.
To tell the truth, I always knew I’d be one.
Like choosing the band leader.
I miss performing.

7.5/10

Faking It 3.04

Another good episode, also every time Lauren or someone else says What the Fuck the show gets better.

With all the lesbians this summer.
She really fucked me this time.
I didn’t choose my label. I’m stuck with it.
You refuse to label, how convenient for you.
If I talk about it, it’s real.
Somebody asked me today what normal even means and I didn’t have a good answer. Maybe I need to find one.

7/10

Faking It 3.05

I love Parent Trap, both of them and It Takes Two probably even more, so i enjoyed this episode.

I’m frustrated that you’re going down her rabbit hole again.
Two Lindsay Lohan have nothing on us.
I know you’ll be busy Parent Trapping.
I was the first person to come out, in 4th grade.
I want you as my sister.

6.5/10

American Crime Story 1.01

Started off great, but why is he sleeping with his lady in his friend’s daughter’s bed?

He didn’t ask how she died.
Please don’t kill yourself in my daughters room.
You want your kids to grow up with no parents?
Oh my God, we’re gonna look like morons.

I know I haven’t been posting film reviews recently, but I still can’t catch up on all the TV shows I watch, and I’m always behind in posting my points on them. I still have 2 episodes of Bates Motel to watch and 4 episodes of When Calls the Heart and yesterday’s Castle. I will post all the film reviews during summer, just like last year. I promise not to start any new shows. Who’s excited for Bones, Scream, OITNB and Grace and Frankie coming very soon? We may say goodbye to Castle, Grandfathered and The Family, just so you’re ready.

SVU 17.18

It’s so weird seeing SVU without Liv, it’s almost as hard as in season 8. Finally more Kelli Giddish, I’ve missed her this season.

I write by hand.
A teenager?
Another priest. Are you kidding me?
Then he raped her. And when he was done he shot her anyway.
Sister Nina was raped and shot point blank.
On the floor you dirty bitch.
My father is ready to throw you under the bus.
Oh yeah are you driving it?
They’d touch us in what they called Godly manner.

SVU 17.19

Amanda’s in love with Carissi and best episode in a while.

Carissi volunteered.
He’ll tell me.
I don’t think he would.
You did exactly what you needed to do. You survived.
Yes, we are aware there’s a section for sex offenders.
She’ll do it.
Food sucks.
He goes for younger girls.
That’s a wonderful argument.
He likes donut holes.
I had to tell everybody what a thrill I get looking at child porn.
He’s a target inside and outside the shelter.
The therapist? Carissi’s group.
I wouldn’t touch that he doesn’t change…I can see that thank you
What are those keys to?
The voice that’s the voice.
They have a special section for sex offenders. You can see them listed online.
I thought we put you away for good.

Shameless 6.11

Can you fucking believe that?
No I can’t.
Here’s a lesson, use condoms.
He has AIDS.
Save that twenty for Peruvian mangoes.
Oh you have no money and you’re going to a grocery store.
Did I mention she is underage?
If you don’t like it, there’s a door over there and here’s another one.
It’s not begging Liam money, It’s selling Liam money.
You were doing so great, you almost pulled it off and you had to fuck it all up again.

Shameless 6.12

Ian is Monica and Lip is Frank? Who would have thought Lip will develop a drinking problem so soon? I know he’s been drinking since he was a kid, but It never seemed like a problem, until that slutty professor left him. The only Gallagher who was determined enough and smart enough to go places. An he went…to a rehab facility. I am not happy with this. If Ian is bipolar and Lip is an alcoholic, where does that leave the rest of Gallaghers? Debs is a 15 year old mother for starters. And little Frannie made it 3 days without someone dropping her on her head. Over this past year Shameless has developed into something we cringe while watching, but yet still want to see. I can’t believe Sean was taking this whole time, after he told Fiona he shoot up a few months ago. Where is she going to work now?

Someone pissed in my boots.
I’m not going back, got expelled.
It’s not like any of you deadbeats finished high school.
He’s a junkie through and through, I’m surproised we’re not friends, we have so much in common.
Lip drinks to breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Ian’s a bipolar queer.
Debbie’s 15 with a baby.
Frank said you drink too much. I don’t want you to end up like Frank.
First week will be tough.

Extremely disappointed with this finale.

You seem more fake now than when you were pretending to be 26.

When Calls the Heart 3.02

There’s not a cuter show than this one.

I could use a little ‘You’re stong. You can do that.’
I’m a teacher, time for a lesson.
But Hope Valley does not need a theatre right now.
There will come a day I’ll bulid you the biggest theatre on this side.

It’s free. Cheaper than college.

Downtown song + Downton Abbey, what more can we want?

Shut up, idiot.
Ice cream! Come back, don’t make me jog.
A husband who rarely shows up to work.
A son that is headed for the chair.

Scandal 5.13

Free college is a dream. Great job, Shonda. Every single character on this show wants to be the president.

I didn’t see you there, little Cyrus Bean.
We’re fixers, not detectives.
He said that I could be the president one day.
He looked up and saw his dad with some woman he didn’t know.
I think she’s gonna go to college one day and it’s gonna be free.

9.5/10

Scandal 5.14

Abby taking what’s hers.

I also didn’t know he was a government trained assassin.
Why do you hate us?
It wasn’t him.
Fire him, hire me.
Quinn, have you ever killed anyone?
I think that’s enough sharing for today.

6/10

Scandal 5.15

Amaro from SVU just joined the cast as Carlos Solis’s brother! Every time Elizabeth calls Susan a Muppet is a gift.

And somehow I think she’d make a great candidate.
It’s about time we had our first woman president.
The Mellie who takes off her shoes and eats a protein bar.
She’s a Muppet!

10/10

Scandal 5.17

Why would Elizabeth have to pay 5 million? Olivia feels she’s so better than Abby and she holds her past against her. Holy shit, Olivia killed him.

False alarm, I was wrong, she was not pregnant.
No you never speak Spanish, to anyone.
Cyrus has immunity.
I’m still a member of this distinguish club.
My fair share, 1 dollar.
I own that place.
Who did this to you?
I don’t work for you, you work for me.
You are no longer welcome here without my permission.
Jake, I need to get into the White House.
It’s gonna be okay, I promise.
Never cross me again.
Welcome home.

The Good Wife 7.16

Eli fighting for the bathroom with all the handicapped people to listen in on the trail, amazing. I’ll miss Eli and Alicia’s mother and brother the most.

It is Sunday, right?
So why isn’t anybody at church?
It’s illegal for me to listen, but not for you.
What’s Eli doing?

8.5/10

The Good Wife 7.18

This is a high profile, very visible space. Clients get a good look at your work ethic.
And who am I getting evicted for?
Peter, you’re always being endorsed.
I need a lawyer.

Bates Motel 4.01

We’ve waited so long for this show to come back and here it is. Norma offered to sleep with Ramero, just to help her psychotic son? Norman killed again, this time full on Norma.

I don’t ever want to be separated from you again.
I killed Bradley Martin, hit her head on a rock.
Mother, why’d you lock the doors!?
So I thought maybe you could marry me. I know you’re attracted to me, I’ll sleep with you.

9.5/10

Bates Motel 4.02

Norma is genuinly afraid of Norman, this episode focused on that and show to what extent. Norman took her gun and she took scissors with her.

Just looking into freezer, why?
What are all these animals doing out?
I know you had her in the freezer.
Are you afraid of being alone with him?
If you’re scared you have to let me know.
I’m marrying his mother.
I’l marry you, if you still want me to.
The motel office.
Oh crap, crap!
I didn’t go to college, but I guess that’s obvious.
What are you hiding behind your back?

Nashville 4.11

I’m so glad you let us sign them!
Don’t do that thing when you convince yourself you don’t deserve happiness.
He wasn’t alone on the roof. Juliet was going to jump and he saved her. But when he did, he fell.
From the first moment I saw you, I knew.
You were the one that almost got away.
I want you to get me Avery Barkley.

10/10

Nashville 4.12

I am honestly so excited for Lila’s new songs!

I’m excited for this. You’all working together.
Why don’t we go ahead and start your second record.
Colt and I went all the way.
You are so much more mature than you think, Maddie.
I have my own version of a messy life.

10/10

Thirteen 1.03

The address is right, but it’s for Alison.
That’s what he called me.
He has a half brother.
Can we play snake?
I wish, it doesn’t have it.
Show me, I feel left behind.
I need an excursion team here.

9/10

Thirteen 1.04

He’s been down in cellar for 7 years.
Meaning he’s been down there with her.
Year three of your captivity.
His body was found behind a cellar wall.
Maybe even lived down there with you.
DNA was found. Ivy’s DNA.
One time Dylan was in charge, so he let me out.
I nearly made it.
He was my friend.
If I hadn’t run Dylan would still be alive.
I wasn’t meant to say, it was just for us.
Everything has to be proper. Proper is 16.
What mental age did he seem?
All those days we spent apart. Thousands of them. I don’t know what you did or who you met or how you lived. I wish I did, but I don’t.

9.5/10

The Family 1.05

Apparently the ratings are really bad 2 or 3 million on ABC, which is pretty much a disaster.

He called it the good boy list.
Adam should be on the field at 5.
I got the results back, it’s not him.

5.5/10

The Family 1.06

OMG! Ben is the boy that sat there even longer than Adam!

Being alone changes you. Other voices dissapear until you can only hear your own.
Milo – 76 Ibs.
Google me.
But my son had his appendix out when he was 5.
Adam? Ben?
What did you do?!
Who’s that?
A friend.
Lucky for me, I was never alone.

7.5/10

The Family 1.07

Wouldn’t it be better if this all was revealed in the season finale? I get what she was trying to do, but that’s disrespectful for Adam, like his death didn’t mean anything. Like the other boy didn’t exist? Like he was replaceble.

He was there with him, for 10 years.
He helped him, he knew him.
He made Adam’s life bareable.
Your son is dead.
What does he do?
Don’t worry, I’ll get you a new friend.
Are you Willa?
I’m Ben.
He died last week.
Adam is right handed.
But now I can fix everything.
In loving memory of Adam.
I’m glad you didn’t listen to me.

9/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.19

Even I jumped when zombie Jessica suddenly reappeared. It’s so good to see Ezra in it with them again.

Pick a topic.
When we finally got out of here, it was so fast, we didn’t really realize what we left behind.
I’m saying it’s happening again.Leave my friends alone. I killed Charlotte.

Some older reviews that weren’t posted.

Greys 12.15

Catherine Avery is a very hated character in my house. My parents hate her just as much as I do. Arizona wanted good and Kepner will need her. Jo stands up to Meredith, but I just think she’s being over-dramatic like always.

His women ran way, stole his job.
Why is she telling me this?

7.5/10

SVU 17.12

This is an older episode of SVU that I never posted with Liv back at her therapist office – right after she was held hostage. This episode of SVU covers every party ever. The defense in incredible in this episode.

She was raped at a school dance.
The maid noticed the dress was stained.
I told him not to go down there.
I couldn’t move or speak, it was like I was paralized.
#pickthatcherry
It was the boy’s first sexual encounter. He got excited and finished before anything even started.
Cherry pickers club.
The nerd defense. They made him look like Harry Potter.

10/10

Shameless 6.02

No one’s gonna ass rape you on my watch.
Totally looks like you fucked a fish egg.
Get up. She’s obviously retarded.
Not fair to other students, who manage to keep it in their pants.
Wrong answer son.
He used to be white.
Shittiest bar at the south side!
Never been the best at anything.
He doesn’t belong here.
Cause he’s black?
Curable.

10/10

Shameless 6.03

Where can I download that Fucking Fiona song? Simply best episode this season.

Who’s Sean?
Her boyfriend.
I thought she had a husband.
Nah, white girl, I don’t know you.
We was in juvie together.
I’m tryna wipe, do you mind.
You have a husband, or a boyfriend?
She has both.
We’re missing forms. We’re not new at this.
‘Fucking Fiona was fucking everyone
Fuck you Fiona
Fucking Fiona fucking everyone
So fuck you Fiona…‘

10/10

Shameless 6.04

Carl imagining himself driving while ‘I wanna perform on your stage’ plays, amazing. And Chucky is back and so is the uncle they framed for touching Deb to get the house!

And they’ll know you put out, that’s a plus.
Cousins who wanted to frame me as a child molester.
Fuck your con artist fucking family.
Hi aunt Fiona!
Would you get your Nazi nephew breakfast?

10/10

When Calls the Heart 3.03

Abigail goes on a date with the ex criminal pastor. Apparently this episode was so sweet I gave it a 10. You’re kinda in a trans when you watch this show, it’s what costumes and slow talking will do to you. Look how charmed with Downton Abbey everyone was.

Starting with that pretty lady of yours.
First time in my life I get to choose what I want to do.

10/10

When Calls the Heart 3.04

Why are all the kids the same age? There’s maybe 2 or 3 years between the youngest and oldest kid in the class and all they learn is kindness and respect. I’ll have a When Calls the Heart marathon tomorrow as I haven’t seen the remaining 4 episodes.

You are my inspiration.
Looking for a better life, but it took a while to find it.
Before you know it home will be right here.

8/10

Grandfathered 1.11

Edie is a model and Sarah gets cut out of the picture. One of the best episodes.

I grew up chubby.
I love this! My baby is a model!

10/10

Faking It 3.03

I can’t believe it, Faking It has finally had a good episode. And the one after it is even better! This hasn’t happened in forever. What’s with the ‘hump’ video, why would anyone do it? Was it some sort of a commercial or something?

Never wear bottom liner, it makes the eye smaller.
Resist the temptation to forgive.
There’s a clear pattern of you kissing girls.
Things can’t be all good all the time.
Why did it hurt so bad to see you kiss her?
Maybe I’m not 100% over you and maybe there’s a part of me that never will be.
Maybe a small part of me does want you to be in love with me.
I don’t wanna keep hurting you but I don’t know how to be your friend without hurting you.
I don’t know either.

10/10

Scandal 5.16

Best episode this season.

You’ll notice he’s my ex husband, not husband.
Mellie, I will get you the oval.
The decision to interrupt me while I was speaking.
This is wrong, Quinn, we can’t do this.
I did not earn this office. I was not fairly elected to this office.

10/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.20

The finale, oh boy. Remember how everyone was saying that in the book Ali had a twin? Yep, someone else does.

Aria and Ezra hooked up and Hanna and Caleb kissed, yes. The flashback to Hanna running to tell Caleb she’s wrong was cute, one of the best scenes this crappy half season. Also, old picture with Caleb’s long hair also gets a point. It won’t be a big spoiler if I say one of the liars is taken by the new A.

I should have checked the floors.
Who would have thought of that?
A!
Thank you for giving me Hanna, you’re free to go. – A.D.

The Middle 7.19

What an episode! But what kind of a teacher invites their students to their apartment. Isn’t that what the campus/campus cafes and library are for? My whole family laughed so much during this episode.

Unless they thought the teacher giving it was dreamy.
I literally don’t know who any of those people are – Me in high school and Paris Geller an the graduation
That’s great we should be celebrating.
We don’t wanna meet them.
She’s weird and they’re probably too.
I’m weird and you’re not.
That’s true.
What dinner are you watching?
Cindy’s the love of my life.
And teh thousand things Sue tried out for.
Maybe if I was dating an orphan polar bear I’d have a better luck.
Because I wandered into your closet and imagined where all my stuff would go.
I wish your parents weren’t so cheap.
Hey, pink coat, how’s it going?

Nashville 4.13

Or they have back when I had a recording career.
It’s a symphony of scars.
You have to be registered with school for pick ups.
You think writing about sex makes the song good?
Hey guys, I want to play you guys a song that I thought the 3 of us…
Maddie whats wrong?
Glenn, if you ever saw me acting like Juliette again just kick me or something.
I would do anything for her.
We put both of our names on all the songs.

7/10

Nashville 4.14

I don’t really think that perfect makes for a very good song.
If only you knew more people who write songs.
You know there’s another songwriter who lives here right?
Hell, I could write a book.
And just for the record, Lila’s awesome.
I haven’t been doing well. I’ve been suffering from postpartum depression. I apologize. I shouldn’t have sign on to this movie. I need to be with my daughter right now.
What do you mean, she picked us?
The exes are officially in big leagues!
I believe in you. I would like you to come back to Will L records.

6.5/10

Thirteen 1.02

He was at my school, I must have been chosen.
She couldn’t get out of here fast enough.
But this place is home.
It’s called an Ipod.
Or he isn’t finished with Ivy yet.
This is ours.
I’m not a child anymore. I’ve had sex.
Can you confirm that the CCTV footage shows you walking unaccompanied?
Here you are actively looking for your kidnapper.
You walked up to him, your abductor and you took his hand.

10/10

Thirteen 1.05

I’m enjoying how badly this show portrays British sex crime officers. Loved it when Lisa read the registration number, reminded me of my SIA exam. But how on Earth was he so stupid he didn’t move the car? I am not sure I’m okay with the perv dying so quickly. They should have made the manhunt longer. I’m downloading the last scene song as I write this. Amazing episode.

EDITED on 14.04

Apparently I didn’t get the memo of this being the series finale, making the show so much worse, as it ended with the police looking like moron and it introduced lots of characters we didn’t need to know who only stole the screen time. I knew it was supposed to be a mini series all along, but 5 episodes?! The show has already come out on Monday! I will miss this show, even though it didn’t meet my expectations at times.

Phoebe, I’m a policeman, you’re safe.
Oscar Victor 06 Zorro X-ray
Move the fucking car, Elliot
Lisa, Elliot?
Me stupid, after what you’ve just pulled?
You need to get ready now, in front of me.
I’d like us to start a family.
Thirteen years wasted.
Everyone out there has changed and I thought it was their fault, but it’s yours.
I was relieved.

Castle 8.13

Some episodes are just better than others, and this one is one of those.

The cursor, it’s just blinking like it’s so easy to write a book.
This guy draw a diagram of me being violated by ET.
Man ends up with deadly snakes.
How proud I am of you for breaking up with Mr Castle.
Can’t you see the lady doesn’t love you anymore?
I, being the expert in English literature.
Bonjour.
I’m a how you say chef.
Quelle votre…
How you say catch up.
I’ve had this dish before.
With a little help from my friends.
Your husband and his band of misfits are all over the foorage.

10/10

Castle 8.14

The only good thing about this episode was the tape Castle left himself.

Actors are psychopaths.
You’re exactly like your father.
I’m curious by nature.
I already work with the best detective and I want to go home.

4.5/10

Castle 8.15

Nothing more off-putting than British people pronouncing Los Angeles as ‘Los Angelis’.

Recruit Beckett, recruit Beckett, recruit Beckett.
How did we end up here again?
Peekaboo.

3.5/10

Castle 8.16

Ryan called Esposito’s mom Mommy, the cutest. What a funny episode all together. What surprises is, they never talk to families or children anymore. How unrealistic.

Just as nature intended.
There is a Starbucks two blocks away, would you like directions?
Where can I find him?
In a cemetery?
Technically they were in the same line of work. You can say they met on the job.
Turns o
That’s the wrong ankle monitor.
Gracias Mommy.
Turns out chicken, chicken. chicken is bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt.
How about some yoga stretches before bed?
Ok, that’s it.

Even though I love Amy Brenneman and Brad Siberling (hello, Moonlight Mile!) I am not starting Heartbeat. The pilot felt like Grey’s wannabe and we remember how Melissa George’s character got kicked out of the program. It’s Sunday, my notebook is full of notes and reviews, so here we go.

Some great news to start off, Melissa McCarthy has joined Gilmore Girls revival! Sookie’s back!

Shameless 6.08

Missing Shameless already. I though the guy was a pedophile, but pregnant woman fetish is gross too. I’m glad Debbie is no longer with that psycho family. The foot massage was too much, shameless, but very unnecessary.

I need a scary looking black man.
Wish I’d gotten into this business a long time ago.
You were singing that gay song.
Indeed I was.
Frank Gallagher 35 years ago!
The fuck I am, Grannie Quinnie.
Frank Jr.
Why is a man in Indiana shitting his pants.

10/10

Shameless 6.09

I was so happy when I saw Mandy! But she’s an escort now and killed a man. Lip being shocked about her driving a jeep and Ian not telling him where Mandy works, so he can be proud of her was absolutely incredible, and one of my favorite scenes this season. What’s with the commune living though?

Are you going to support Debbie as she unschools her way through life?
I met him through my service, escort.
Maybe something that doesn’t involve feces.
My nephew watches it on youtube.
You know that just because we were born here doesn’t mean that we end up here.
Is that her Jeep in the driveway?
Yeah, she found a job.

10/10

The Middle 7.18

Frankie saying her parenting skills are better then Nancy’s was amazing! And when Mike realized Sue’s no longer a child, too! I want some caramel popcorn balls too! Sue’s 19teen.

Just cause some of us have it down better than others.
I’m not done telling you how I’m a better parent than Nancy.
Brad and I got summer jobs at Dollywood.
Inappropriately touching a bunch of old guys an making their day.

Best Saw like episode of the season. Plane was last year right?

Wait what’s going on in that van? Is that my dad?
We had our best person on.
The guy is abducted like what twice a year?
He’s really good at what he does.

9/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.14

It took me a while to watch the finale April 9th to be exact, and it was disappointing just like the whole season.

Eve’s’Did he hurt you?’ were the exact words Alex used 3 weeks later when he got 911 call from Maggie about Meredith on Greys.

Originally Mexico, I lived in Florida before law school.
We’re all bad people, that’s all we have in common.
What is this, a homeless shelter?
And then play us like little puppets.

Younger 2.09

Kelsey, I do get when an avocado post gets more likes than something more valuable, because for a long time, that was me. Also, in this episode a guy is *ing a sheep, so… um wtf?

More young creatives.
My avocado post got more likes.
She’s having an argument with an Uber driver about the ring.
It looks like I’m engaged to myself.

Younger 2.10

How did you like this season? It was light, but good.

I think he shares an assistant with a bunch of other guys. (I bet he does)
I’m not some emo teen who just lost their virginity.

5/10

Younger 2.11

I hated Chad, I’m glad he’s gone, but they haven’t pulled such tragic deaths on Sex and the City, so wtf?

I’m tired of skinny jeans, but you just take a deep breath and hang in there.
Liza Miller is your mom?
Oh please tell me you’re not her new boyfriend.
Ice T
You can tell everyone about me, I don’t care. She deserves to know who she’ll be spending the rest of her life with.

‘Excellent’ episode.

Thirteen 1.01

What a great show! It makes living in the UK bearable. Everyone who watches SVU will love it! But why on Earth did they name the male lead Elliot. Come on, try not to look like SVU.

There’s never been am escaped captive in the UK.
There’s a girl. It could be Ivy.
Bastard bleached the place.
The DNA’s come back as Ivy’s.
A hand on my neck pulled me back into a van.
Everything has changed but us.
He’s taken another girl.

The Family 1.02

I was enjoying this show until it turned out it’s not Adam.

They say once you’ve left home, you can never go back.
That’s for Adam, he never got sweets down there.
I was wearing these when he took me.
I need to touch the walls.
I need back up. I found a metal door. It’s the Adam Warren investigation.
The suspect is here and he’s burning the evidence.
I’m not the same person I was
so am I.
Yeah, but you have a good excuse.
So do you.

He lost Adam so he found himself a new one.
Do you think he’ll do it though? Take another one?

Pretty Little Liars 6.18

This half season is excruciating. I honestly have 5 episodes to watch and no desire to sdo so. I have also accidentally ruined the spring ending for myself – thanks TV Guide, so now I’m even less excited about watching them. I will try to watch them on Netflix when I’m off tomorrow.

Did they abort the baby? Or was it just a false alarm, I don’t remember at this point. What is wrong with being a cop? It’s a perfectly respectable job. I know that Toby did some one month long Mickey Mouse course, that would never pass as a cop course, but still, he’s a cop. Who needs college is they want to be a cop? Aria getting burned was just too predictable and fake. Makes me realize what everyone has been saying for the last two years at least, that this show has been on too long. I don’t know why I gave this episode so many points. I must have been tired.

There’s probably one of your beanies still in there.
Cause being with a cop is not good enough?

Hi guys, welcome back after Easter. My new 8 month old laptop died, which means I will have so much more time to post this week, as I won’t be busy watching films. Here are some reviews.

Greys 12.12

I am so happy they didnt kill Mer’s first patient. I was scared theoughout the whole episode that that was gonna happen. Her death would ruin the pilot we love so much. It would mess with the past and make us feel like there is no point in leaving since something we believed for 11 years now would have changed. There is no messing with the past. It’s our holy ground and I’m hlad Shonda gets it.

Someone said that. Wait that was me.
Guys, this room is full of dead people, show some respect.
She was my first patient.
They still let you be a doctor here?
She was a trainwreck.
So he thinks you should have been on that helicopter.
I work in peds. I figured it out.
You’re all grown up now.
So are you.
What happened to the other Dr Shepherd?
That’s a long story.

10/10

The Family 1.01

A new show from one of Shonda Rhimes’s writers about a boy who was kidnapped 10 years ago and his sudden reapearance.

Who are you?
I’m him.
They found that boy who was murdered 10 years ago.
The man is a sex offender.
Hi dad.
Hi, chief.
The man who was laying on top of me.
Why didnt you just run?
I did run. The first chance I got.
When was that?
Yesterday.
Maybe it was the decade of rape and torture.
Red dragon, he was breathing fire, right at me.
And all the other Adams who are still out there.
He doesn’t exist.

10/10

SVU 17.17

After 17 years at SVU Olivia got kicked out. What are you guys thinking of Olivia and Tucker?

There is no way that girl is 18.
Underage girls are being raped and trafficked.
They’re not cops, they’re rapists.
They forced me into a room and took turns raping me.
He’s raping 16 year olds while supposedly undercover.
So you don’t mention that you two are sleeping together.
He had everyone at SVU in kuffs.
I’m out. That is it. You’re dismissed.

10/10

The Middle 7.17

I still don’t understand why everyone has their wisdom teeth removed.

Think of it like Downton Abbey and I’m one of the basement people.
We fight this the way we fought that healthy snack thing.
This is the year of Sue 2.0.
You’re a Heck. Disapointment is your birth right.
Frab some napkins, we’re out of toilet paper.
Sue, are you crying?
Axl gave me a fork.
Sometimes you think you get an Elvis, but end up with an eagle. And thats okay. Eagles are great too.

5/10

Shameless 6.10

Weakest episode especially for a birth episode. Who else cried when they heard Debbie has named her daughter Frances?

Law, motherfucker.
I think I wanna be a cop.
And then I get a for asking me if I ever have been hospitalized.
Frances after her grandfather.
Frank?!

4/10

When Calls the Heart 3.01

As long as we’re no longer in Hamilton, I’m good.

I’m your new partner.

4/10

How to Get Away With Murder 2.13

Annalise’s gay ex-lover is the only reason the show is still watchable.

There’s not a day that I don’t lie to my clients.
Clients are some of the stupidest people you’ll meet.
Please tell me you just got fat.
Stop blaming me for your loneliness.
Call 911. There’s someone in Wes’s apartment.

8/10

Younger 2.12

What’s with a super weak finale?

You seem more fake now than when you were acting like you’re 26.

3/10

Grandfathered 1.19

This show certainly does not want to go out with a bang.

Cough syrup with codaine.
Replace it with pictures of handsome guys.
Movie selection process.
What’s the one thing none of them have?
A college degree.

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!

dysfunctional families | troubled childhoods

psychological | independent | drama | horror

At the pictures 10 times a month. I rate films within genre. I watch all interesting titles about to expire on Netflix and HBO Go. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. Over the years I’ve seen 140 TV Shows.

26. Polish-British and proud of both of my citizenships.

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)

‘What happened last year when you fell in the water?’
‘I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?’
‘You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.’
‘I was trying to save a patient!’
‘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?’
‘When you start acting like someone that wants to be alive.’
‘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)

‘OK, then, listen. Let’s not get caught.’
‘What are you talkin’ about?’
‘Let’s keep goin’!’
‘What d’you mean?’
‘Go.’
‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘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)

‘You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.’ (Six Feet Under)
