Woah, I’m really behind. That’s probably, because I watched 61 films in January instead of writing here and watching only 40. I’ll do better since all the shows start again later this week. I wish I could watch the shows on a big screen and type on my laptop at the same time, like I did this week, when I watched Pretty Little Liars on Netflix and typed on my laptop. Also, I finally found the rest of my old notes.

SVU 17.14/Chicago PD 3.14

Congrats to SVU on Season 18 renewal! Rednik and Yates pulled a Shawshank. How did they fit through that small hole we’ll never know. Yates and Rednik were on of my favorite serial killers out of all cop shows. William Lewis was fantastic too. Nothing beats The Gravedigger from Bones though. I mean sure I liked Palant on Bones too, but not the third one they intoduced later, and I can’t stand the 3XK and the senator on Castle. You see what I’m getting at. I don’t watch Chicago PD, I tried, but I found it boring, so I wasn’t really concerned about Lydia’s death back in May. I am definitely going to miss Yates. How is it that SVU got rid of both of their biggest serial killers? I am definitely downloading all the Yates and Rudnik episodes to analize. I liked it better when Yates was hooked on Rollins instead of Lyndsey. I was surprised Yates didn’t rape his victims, except for the trooper of course. The SVU episodes was much better than the Chicago PD one and Erin was making lots of irrational decisions.

He just offered this up for humanitarian reasons?
He wants to discuss it with Rollins.
I just don’t want her anywhere near him.
I’d be much more comfortable with Detective Rollins.
Why? Oh. She must have had her baby by now.
Get her here.
Are you breastfeeding?
You know how this works, Amanda.
Barba, I didn’t know that Uber came up to New Heaven.
I’m not depressed, I’m pissed off.
I have a baby, so I can’t talk to serial killers.
3 drones.
You say Rollins understands him best, then get her here.
She helped William Lewis escape.
Don’t you do background checks?
They look like two church ladies.
Fin and I are on the next plane.
No victim shows any sign of sexual assault.
Too bad you’re at the station, Erin. You’re missing all the fun.
Get everyone out of the building. Get a bomb squad.
We X-rayed it. It’s not a bomb.
He’s talking about going home. Where was Yates born?
The answer is yes, you do remind me of my mother.
Special thanks to Lieutenant Olivia Benson and Detective Tutuola.

10/10

The Middle 7.14

The episode itself was quite average, but Sue not being able to pitch in for all the things the roomate wanted to buy was very relatable. Frankie has gotten more grumpy this season. I need Brick’s T-shirt saying ‘Some of my best friends are fictional’. When Brad said ‘I can’t make love to probably’ to Frankie I simply could not stop laughing.

Sue was actually getting the roomate she wanted.
He said I’m going places.
Like to your own place?
Some of my best friends are fictional.
Pay me back later when you go to the ATM.
She said ‘It’s only 300 dollars’. Like I say ‘Something is only 1 dollar’.
We have a long plan where we die before we need to pay anything off.
I can’t make love to probably.
This is magic.
I think that’s Shake it Off! We love you Taylor.
Sometimes the key to a great friendship is not having lots of other options.

5/10

Castle 8.08

Who else can’t stand Castle this season? The’obsession’ quote though was worth watching.

I would walk into a tornado for you.
Deep down inside you like being broken. And you need this obsession.

5/10

Grandfathered 1.08

That’s what I’m saying, people who only have problems like where to party where to eat are just so annoying.

When we get to Malibu, should we go massage then beach or beach then massage? Ugh, I hate dillemas.

2/10

The Good Wife 7.08

Grace is finally kicking some ass with prerecorded office noises and getting all those firms.

We are a little busy, but we’re never too busy for a business like yours.
How did you get all those firms?

6.5/10

The Good Wife 7.09

3/10

The Simpsons 27.07

Hey, man, how’d you get that seat?
They thought I was pregnant.

5.5/10

Scream Queens 1.10

But then she had a little accident.
Oh God Would you stop with the screaming.
You have a bright future ahead of you in the sex offender wing of a supermax prison.

6.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.13

That was you in that silver jag?
I ordered a beer.
We can’t serve you that.
You worried when I skip a meal, how was I supposed to tell you I was skipping school.
Is he writing about you?
She was small like me, get over it.
You went through a lot together.
It was high school.
Not for him.
I would never do that to you.
I’m broke
I left school.
I’ll lend you the money.
She sounded a little typsy so I thought we could maybe fool around.
There isn’t an ice machine at the end of that hall.
It’s time to go, now!

5.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.14

Pappy? Who calls their future father in law Pappy?

Tobyplans to propose.
I erased the security footage.
Twitter is the new Facebook and Snapchat is the new Twitter.
Charlotte DiLaurentis will walk streets of this town after my dead body.
Why is it so easy to fall back into old habits?
That’s why they’re called habits.

Pretty Little Liars 6.15

What, Mike is in college already? The Montgomerys remarried. Who else really doesn’t care about the liar’s made up jobs? Spencer and Caleb is just not something we want to watch. So Hanna watches Downton Abbey because her boyfriend is British, steryotyping much? Hanna and Aria took Ashley’s house apart, they went through her serial? Who hides a drive in cereal? Stash of moisturisers would be nice.

You know you can’t tell her that to her face, right?
It’s just like Downton Abbey when Bates goes on trial.
Did I miss a memo of calling our parents by their names?
Team Sparia.
Stash of moisturises.
What are you going to do after that?
I’m using the money to finish school.
Please tell me you don’t own a selfie stick.
Can you come back here and toss me like a freesby.
You can find your mug with your other things in your box on the desk.
Weren’t you the girl who came in here with a five year plan?
There’s a line of girls lining up to take your place.
Good, let them.
This was Charlotte’s room she stayed in when she was in Radley.
Can we just keep driving?
If you can change the rules, so can we.

The Leftovers 2.08

Like The Godfather?
Exactly like The Godfather.

I can’t seem to get the old wordpress dashboard to show up. I have been using it instead of the new one for the last three years. Here is quick part one of the missing notes on the episodes I misplaced during my move. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, as I can’t sit still any longer without watching the new SVU. I haven’t posted them earlier, as I have been busy with watching all the nominated films before the Golden Globes, and then I decided to watch 7 seasons of The Middle and here I am.

SVU 17.09

Dr Wang is back. Good case.

He’s been leaving messages for Rollins at 3am.
Hey what’s up Amanda. Hold on, I’ll come get you.

10/10

Bones 11.08

I’m still trying to figure out what on Earth happened to Bones. Why has it been such a drag these last couple of seasons? Remember season 4? Remember season 6? Season 1? Anything in between? I don’t want to think of it most likely ending this season, because o Emily and David’s lawsuit, but the writers really need to step up with the cases, or we’ll say goodbye to what once was my fourth favorite show.

I’m not buying you a jet ski so you could kill yourself riding around like a 16 year old.

6.5/10

Castle 8.07

The show got a lot funnier since Ryan shot Esposito in the ass. Someone watched The First Wives Club too many times.

Tell that to the whole in my ass.
Someone didn’t enjoy being screwed…out of their money.
Based on what? The plot of The First Wives Club?
Who shot me on the ass on purpose.

7.5/10

Nashville 4.08

Maddie was offered a deal. One of my favorite episodes of the show, as this is what I’ve been waiting for since the pilot.

I’m blond now.
They want to sign her.
I got an offer?
Sony wants me?
This is way too personal.
All great songs are.
Lot of people wanted to take advantage of me.
Maddie is exactly like me.
My father kicked me out at 16.
You were offered a record deal?
They only wanted you.
You don’t need me. Nobody needs me.
I think it may be the time you sign with Highway 65.
Almost forgot what playing real music feels like.

10/10

Scream Queens 1.09

I’m sort of gay now too.
To make me popular enough to get a rich husband.
She could have at least get attacked in a fresh new way.

10/10

Grandfathered 1.07

This is where I shoot my makeup tutorials.
Who does she think she is, the bread police?

8.5/10

The Good Wife 6.08

Where’s Peter?
Sleeping.

10/10

The Leftovers 2.07

I had a huge problem watching the finale, and two months after the episode premiered, I still haven’t made it to the end. I already tried twice, and turned it off because it was unappealing and frankly quite boring. Season 1 was wonderful. This one? I have no clue what this season is.

Why do you think I died for a fucking cult?

All the remaining episodes are here, now back to weekly tv reviews and film reviews too.  Expect the next post next Saturday, now enjoy!

Greys 12.06

How are we supposed to like Derek’s killer. I hope they’re not gonna make her a series regular. She killed Derek and now she took Arizona’s place.

And you didn’t find that reason enough?
Is there any part of this job that you can handle?
I’m talking to Derek.
And you came in. The spitting image of your mother.

6/10

Greys 12.07

I can’t believe the finale is next week. And yet another 4 month break. This episode they did a skull transplant. Webber being Arizona’s wing man was almost as good as the elevator scene, where Mer told the new McDreamy that her story is too long to tell and when she told Owen she promised Cristina she wouldn’t let him go all dark and twisty. Also Maggie explaining racism and white privelege to Amelia.

Wilson, I have three kids. Three. Do you know how little sleep I get?
Are any interns interning at the lesbian bar?
I wanted to punch her in the face.
Guess where I’m from.
Australia.
Wrong, New Zealand.
I made a promise to Cristina that I wouldn’t let you go all dark and twisty.Just tell me. Do we hate him?
We hate him.
And they’re telling me they’re not boarding coach yet.
Your name is on all the walls. What’s the story there.
It’s too long to tell.
So you wanna grab a drink?
I’m a friend of Owen Hunt’s, so no.

10/10

SVU 17.07

Right on top of my notes it says, ‘The pastor, right?’ and indeed that was the case. One of the best episodes this season, but I really thought brother was the rapist just like in the Dugglars’ case.

I had sexual activity.
You didn’t to anything wrong. You’re still a good person.
That’s what he told me.
How about you write it down?
These issues don’t just go away.
He got her other sister pregnant.
I’ve been binge watching this show.
I’m usually right.
Rollins, you’re alright?
I really screwed up. I won’t be able to do this.
We’ve got family, camera crew, and that pastor.
He gets them away from home.
Married?! She’s 13!
She’s legal.
He is Tate’s baby’s father and I believe the other child’s too.
You need to stop talking to her.
He told me that’s what people in love do.
I want him put away!
Most rapists don’t hunt on the streets, they hunt where they’re trusted.

10/10

Downton Abbey 6.06

I’ll miss this show dearly. It still does not register it’s ending.

Matthew died in a car crash.
Marigold is sweet but why would any man take her on. She’s so stupid to have settled herself with a child.
Could this be love?
Oh shut up.
Shouldn’t we shake out his pockets?
Have you found anyone to hit with it yet?
If I had it my way, I would have hit a lot of them.
No you may not.
My word is still not good enough after all these years.

10/10

Downton Abbey 6.07

So happy for Mr Moseley! Now I just hope he marries Miss Baxter in the Christmas Special.

This is the first place that I’ve laid down some roots.
Nobody is always friendly.
I’ll be very glad If you’ve joined the teaching staff at the village school.
Well done, Mr Moseley.
I can’t give you up.
You will be hurt again, but that is not the reason to give up on the man who is right for you.
What’s so funny?
Just life, Mr Carlson, just life.

8.5/10

Downton Abbey 6.08

Beautiful finale, but they should have went deeper into Thomas’s suicide attempt. I know he’s just the help, but It would be nice to see the emotional fallout. I hope Barrow will be Little Goerge’s Carlson. Sprout will write to Edith’s magazine, under a female nickname. Can’t wait for the Christmas episode.

A house of its repute.
Edith would outrank us all.
She’s quite handful.
You ruined Edith’s life today.
Mrs Pattmore has been loyal to this house and now this house has to be loyal to her.
He said he hoped I made more of myself.
Barrow slit his wrists?
Thomas has cut his wrists.
Do you still think dismissing Barrow was a useful saving, Papa?
And Barrow tries to end his.
Tom says he is in love with you and you’re in love with him.
I can’t be a crash widow again.
Sprout?
I’ll be best man at both of your weddings.

10/10

The Good Wife 7.05

Oh Howard. I haven’t seen him represent one client over the last 7 years, but okay.

I’m doing it alphabetically.
That’s convenient.That’s code for old. That’s code for Jewish.
Old fart. Gargoil.
I call Diane Lockhart to the stand.
I see you’re running an adult day care now.

7.5/10

The Good Wife 7.06

She’s black. She suffered. Like my people.

3.5/10

Scream Queens 1.06

Funny and I don’t get all these stuck up people who think this is crap. Every time they reference The Silence of the Lambs, The Shining or Texas Chainsaw Massacre my day gets a little better.

We have gathered here today because a backstabbing little bitch got exactly what was coming for her.
Like a bunch of hobbos.
This dumb dead bitch.
Have fun being dead.
Will you please go kill some people?
Are you having sex with a goat.
Cops finger Dean Munch.
You wanna play quid quo pro Clarice?
It’s a lawsuit.
No, hooker.
For saying Chad was having sex with a goat.
Liquid laxative.
To young girls getting what’s coming to them.

7.5/10

Nashville 4.07

Jeff is dead and they’re having a concert and Scarlett cut her hair. One of the best episodes this season. Julliette finally asked for help and got sent to a rehab centre.

10/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.07

Bonnie’s past and Asher covering up rape is all I care about this season. Is Annalise Wes’s mother? Is that what they’re tryng to say? Is that why he got added to the program from the waitlist? Was Annalise checking all her potential students and then saw him and added him from the waitlist. What are the chances that a son would follow his mother’s footsteps without knowing anything about her? Also, the lady who committed suicide was not his biological mom. Are they saying Annalise got pregnant from rape when she was a little girl?

She’s blafing, you idiot.
Who is she? You’re blushing!
Cause I get to see you again.
We run off together.
Four guys took one girl upstairs so don’t you dare say you didn’t know what they were going to do to her.
She went to a party and her life changed forever.
You just keep on being you.I can’t look at you the same anymore.
She told you, didn’t she?
That’s no problem, I’ve got Sam’s money.
He’s not just some student, that’s him.
You exposed me!

10/10

How to Get Away With Murder 2.08

Get on board or you’re the next dead body out there.
Bonnie crying in the shower.
Stop. Call it in.
Bonnie would have already been at the lab.
I need you to be my new Bonnie.
Sinclair has been tapping our house!
Maybe Mr Millstone should be my new Frank.
Speak.
Another one for Mr Millstone.
Miss Castillo could be me one day.
He’s a part of an incest. And she only had one brother.

7.5/10

Scandal 5.07

SVU case. Bill Cosby case.

To tell the president he just hang a medal on a rapist.
The fact that you rape women.
You knew? Did you give him the drugs because you knew what he would do with them?
So if he rapes a few, then it doesn’t matter.
Liz is gonna be the vicepresident’s chief of staff.
He’s not the President anymore. You are.

7/10

Scandal 5.08

First he leaves Mellie, now Liv.

Kill me now.
Olivia is judge, jury and executioner.
Helen of Troy.
I’ve read it throughly.

Hi guys. I know I haven’t been reviewing films, (or writing proper reviews of shows either) since summer, but I will once the year ends. I have seen 253 films this year, and I want to make it to 300 by 2016. Here are some reviews I had time to rewrite today, some are missing, but will get posted on the weekend.

Greys 12.05

Oh the ugly dinner. Why are we keeping Derek’s killer on? And the bitch had the audacity to come back and pee in Mer’s bathroom. Shonda is making such a mistake hiring her. Best episode this season.

I like the whole where the wall was.
You’re smiling, like you’re in a hostage video.I like drunk Robbins.
Calliope. I used to call her that.
She’s going to join the program at Grey Sloan Memorial.
It’s where Derek died.
Perfect Penny killed my husband.
Derek was my brother.
Penny killed Derek.
Meredith said she killed him.
Penny was just going to tell me how my brother died.
So tell us how. I wanna know what happened. Tell me what happened.
Tell me the rest. Tell me all of it.
Did he say anything to you before you killed him?
Get her out of my house!
We’ll fire that bitch.
She killed Derek.
You should have told me.
Get her out of here before I kill her

10/10

SVU 17.06

Amanda’s sister is now a hooker. When she said ‘you were raped on the job’ I wished I could punch her through my screen. She never would have been raped if she didn’t have to protect your stupid ass. Also their mother is not much better as it turns out with her ‘maybe by then you’ll learn the value of family’. Important to point out: Kimmy convincing their mother it’s her agent calling her not her pimp. The new sergant is annoying and does not know anything.

No, that could be DNA.
What happens at SVU, stays at SVU.
Help Amanda and her baby.
You were raped on the job.

10/10

SVU 17.08

The new seargant is clearly not SVU material. He messes every case up and doubts Liv all the time! Come on, Liv knows what she’s doing!

He’s successful.
For your facebook page?
Its for Rollins. She’s gonna be pissed she missed it.

4/10

Downton Abbey 7.05

You’ve read too many novels, you’ve seen too many movies.

8/10

Switched at Birth 4.19

Do I really want to work for free?
Who cares what your mom does for a living?
Who said they need to be fixed.
What’s wrong with being abnormal.
Why is it that you tell her everything?
You chose her. Like always. Right now it feels like the last 4 years never happened.
You’re taking my job?

7/10

Switched at Birth 4.20

John being jealous and being mad at Katherine for wearing a tight but not so revealing dress. 10 months later Bay is a tattoo artist. And the last line that reminded me of Lost, ‘we have to go back’. I am said the second halfof season 4 flew by so quickly. I know I would have appreciated this show more If they played it as always, during summer, so no other shows get in the way. And I’m disapointed, as it may mean that we won’t get new episodes in January, but March or something.

You’ve got to let her go.
Your boyfriend payed 400 for the night.
In that dress.
You will be the artist you want to be, someday.
Go on your own.
I’m gonna do that.
But it gets better. I promise.
You should come with me.
To China?
You’ll bring your sketchbook. Get inspired.
The Switchters.
He’s perfect. He’s absolutely perfect.
Look at us honey, we are grandparents.
Carlton now. Carlton forever.
10 months later.

9.5/10

Bones 11.04

Booth stresses over Bones killing off a characted based on him.

You can’t kill Agent Andy. He’s based on me.
Thanks for the spoiler alert.
He’s easily replaceable. Just like agent Andy.
You’re killing Agent Andy? But he’s your husband.

Castle 8.05

Who knows, you guys. All Castle cases are the same.

6/10

Grandfathered 1.05

Gerald (Son).
Move the freaking car, man!
I think Vanessa has the car situation handled.
He was blasting Taylor Swift.
She was crying. He was loving it.

3.5/10

Grandfathered 1.06

You’re taking advice from a prepubescent kid.
Hacking into your mainstream.
That woman who tamed George Clooney.
And you are attractive.
I already told everyone in the bus over here.
Fake enthusiasm.
I’m binging on ice cream.
That’s not ice cream.
My sweat is staining up my shirt.
Are you using me for shade.
You were blessed with a big head, share your gift.
It’s locked it’s locked it’s a push.
I don’t play baseball. Did you bring it from your house.
My Amal is out there somewhere.

7/10

Nashville 4.03

Deacon’s sister dies.

3/10

Nashville 4.04

Yes idiot. I know.
I’m upset because I can’t be the way I am with you around people.
If I didn’t work with people with complicated lives, there would be no one to write with.

5/10

Nashville 4.05

Maddie sang with Juliette and lost her virginity to Colton all in one episode.

5/10

Nashville 4.06

Why is Dean’s sister from Gilmore Girls being a dumb groupie? Maddie is acting out. I guess they had to kill Jeff off as he joined Scream Queens.

What you wear what song you choose leaves a mark about who you are as an artist and as a person.
What is it, drugs, booze?
You are so talented.
You’re practically her father.
She was a born performer.
I would like to sing you one of her songs. She used to close every show with that song.

7/10

Scream Queens 1.05

I’m gonna look like a skinnier Angelina Jolie.
Someone always goes lesbian.
It’s super weird that you sleep with so many old people.
A panic room. Jodie Foster’s was small and gross.
I’m about to get murdered.
The only thing we can do is watch him die.
There wa snever any food in there. Just laxatives.
You and I are gonna outlive that nerd.
Thank you for making that announcement that no one cares about.
What a great way to pretend all those people we knew were not brutally murdered.

7.5/10

Scream Queens 1.07

I love Jamie Lee Curtis in this, but I do love her in everything.

And i do best to try to pretend I listen.
I saw that movie 50 times.
Just cause some damn hoe got murdered in it.
You know a woman’s face was burned with it?
We dont really eat around here.
This university can survive a series of killings.
You know why I never went into therapy? Beause the less we know about ourselves, the better.
Two babies?
That unusually weird girl with weird candle fetish.
You toothless inbreds.
Stupid foreign assholes.
Grace is the killer and this thing proves it.
You can stop killing everybody.
Why are you the same size as a 40 year old woman.
We all have mommy issues.

7.5/10

The Leftovers 2.03

Amy Brenneman centric episode. Finally. Laurie ran off some Guilty Remnants, and broke into some people’s house to get her laptop back from a kid.

I just need a file off that laptop.

7/10

The Leftovers 2.04

Evangeline as in Evangeline Lilly. Nice touch Lindeldolf.

Did it happen again? Are the people gone? Are they gone?
And then there are people who really wanna fucking die.

6/10

The Leftovers 2.05

Definitely my favorite episode this season, with Matt not being able to go back to Miracle and signing himself up for public punishment, by ‘carrying a cross’ just like Jesus did.

We live here.
I wanna free him. Because it’s my turn.

9.5/10

The Leftovers 2.06

Why so little Amy Brenneman this season? We’re halfway through and she’s been in 2 episodes.

Did you touch her that day?
Yeah its called lensing.
Because we asked them for help and they banished your brother.
I’m a lens?
Yes.
Demon has chosen you.
Say it again and say it slow.
It’s Laurie Garvey.

Weirdos, focus.

The Good Wife 7.04

This is not To Kill a Mockingbird or Anatomy of a Murder.

6.5/10

The Simpsons 27.04

My friend actually did this, asked the police if he has the right to restrain a guy who attacked him a few days prior.

24 years trying to kill a 10-year-old boy.
Let’s move on to the next suspect.
Yes, there are intruders in my basement. Do I have the right to shoot.

Faking It 2.20

What an awful finale, remember how good the season one finale was or the first half of season 2? When Amy told Karma about her feelings? Lauren can’t leave to Texas, she’s probably my favorite character, with her constant ‘What the fuck is this?’

You can tell me that kiss meant something.
I can’t.

Here are some quick October reviews. Look out for the remaining 15 episodes this Thursday.

Greys 12.04

Derek’s killer is Callie’s new girlfriend.

Who screws the interns?
The father of my children.
I’m a widow, I’m dead inside. I’m widow Grey, I’m all okay.
Yours is the face they will remember for the rest of their lives.
I’ve had that great amazing love.

9.5/10

Downton Abbey 7.04

Robert better not die. This is not Parenthood. Moseley and Baxter better end up together, and they better show us. Rose came back and acted weirdly. The writers need to understand that none of us cares about the hospital.

Trying to get through life the best that we can.
And you’re wrong about me, I mind what people say.
But he hasn’t ruined you, has he? And the proof is you’re standing here.

10/10

Castle 8.04

As I asked myself where the f do I recognise this guy from It got to me that it’s Gabby’s pervy stepfather from Desperate Housewives.

No, no. Well, yes, yes.
Pathological liars anonymous.
The blind priest just ran away.

6/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.04

This season seems much less planned out.

Do you actually think that murdering someone is not a big deal?
I think about it a lot. Killing myself. Have been since I was a child.
If I don’t deserve to die, than you definitely don’t.
Let’s all find a cliff and go out in style.

4/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.05

We finally got Bonnie’s back story and it was painful, and the show is finally getting more valuable again.

I found Wes and Nate last night?
Screwing?
That man is her father.

1.5/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.06

I see what you’re saying, Asher is dating Bonnie who as a child was sexually abused by her father. Asher on the other hand gang raped a girl as a teenager. This is good. Who cares about all the other storylines this season, none of them are worth our time.

Contamination the crime scene. Let’s make a note of this officer not wearing gloves.
Tiffany was gang raped.

3.5/10

Grandfathered 1.03

Paget’s character reminds me of me a little more each week.

The age I lost my virginity. 13.
Thanks to you he’s one step away from being Norman Bates.
Mother in Parenthood.
Which Friends character are you?Come on, I’m Monica!
You delay, delay, delay and suddenly it’s too late.
What’s this, a cheesy rom com.

4.5/10

Grandfathered 1.04

Come on, Stamos you do know who Big Bird is, remember how obsessed Michelle was with him on Full House? Posting fake reviews and lying about leaving home on point. Other than that, weakest episode of the season.

Anonymous 2023.
Almost there. Traffic is awful.

2/10

The Good Wife 7.02

Jeffrey Dean Morgan joins the cast! An SVU case about mom taking naked pictures of their kids and selling them as art.

Have you seen the movie It Follows?
That’s when I got my first email from a pedophile.
After I came back from school, these men would wait for me.

8/10

The Good Wife 7.03

Grace working as Alicia’s assistant/secretary is my new favorite thing about the show. Interns caring about their boyfriends was hilarious too. Don’t go to law school if you want a normal life, simple as that.

Do these new summer interns seem less concerned to you? They worry about their boyfriends and having easier work days.

10/10

Scandal 5.03

How can Fitz still treat Mellie like crap?

Shut it down or get fired, people.
We’re running, people.

10/10

Scandal 5.04

Quinn has recruited a new gladiator.

Gladiators don’t ask questions.

2/10

The Leftovers 2.02

What is it with this season? Pure boredom. Miss Patty and where the heck is Amy Brenneman? So Kevin is a part of rapture number 2?

1.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.18

Were we supposed to be surprised that Daphne’s tutor was gay? Wasn’t that obvious? A very weak episode.

2.5/10

Faking It 2.19

Karma is just jealous that Amy does not pay attention to her anymore that she may actually try to be with her for a while, ruining Amy’s feelings.

The real you is so fantastic.

Hi guys, welcome back to liveoffmovies. Fall Season is in its full and I’ve been taking my sweet time not posting my reviews. My bad. I was working two shifts, focusing on an internship, I only yesterday realized, I did not want. Plus I was busy moving to my new house. Now that it’s all mostly done, here are some long overdue reviews. The rest of the episodes (over 30 now!) will be posted later next week, once I do my taxes and figure out how to fill in the new expenses form and buy a washing machine and get everything not working in my new house fixed. Uff listing all of these was tiring enough. Thankfully only half of the shows I watch premiered new episodes this week, and Switched at Birth is already on a break, so I’ll have time to catch up with my posting schedule very soon.

First of, Gilmore Girls is coming back! GG got a revival! First Full House, now Gilmore Girls. Thanks, Netflix. Life is good.

Second of all, The Whispers was cancelled. Now we’ll never know what happened to Claire and the kids.

Thirdly, let’s talk about the new season of AHS and why I’ve decided to quit it. I am a huge horror freak and I have always been, but at the same time I have never been a fan of the vampirism genre. I couldn’t follow Buffy or Charmed, never started True Blood or Vampire Diaries. There are a few vampire films that I have enjoyed, like Nosferatu, The Hunger, Fright Night, The Lost Boys, Dracula, 30 Days of Night, or Stake Island, but not enough to explore the genre any further. Furthermore, I am a huge fan of Jessica Lange, and watching the first two episodes of the series, I kept thinking of who her character would be. What we were most scared of, happened. The show got bad without Jessica. The first four seasons were relatable to some extend, season two, even though, my favorite, the least. There are a few shows that I had to talk myself into watching for a couple of episodes, and then, continued watching, because it would be weird to stop. I have tried watching the first episode of the fifth series twice, and that has barely ever happened before. Pilots are supposed to be the intriguing, or even the best episodes. And finally, to quote my father, I have no time for some mediocre fairytale that does not concern me. Which is why, I say goodbye to American Horror Story, at least till next year.

Bones 11.01

I have been disapointed with Bones for the last couple of seasons, probably since season 7, as nothing new ever happened. I am furious that no one is mourning Booth’s brother, because I still remember when season 4 came out and Jared helped save Booth. I remember season 4 too well, as back then the episodes were pretty spectacular, and now they’re all the same. ‘Booth was beaten as a child’ automatically reminded me of Sweets and the episode when he accidentaly showed B&B his back, and Brennan talked about the foster parents who used to lock her up, and now I’m getting nostalgic over, yet again, season 4. Kim Raver guest stars, I’m not sure she’s done anything else than 24 after Teddy left to Germany on Greys.

Please leave me with the bones.
Booth was beaten as a child.
It’s Booth’s brother.
I have more questions than answers which is unusual.
That one is Booth’s.

7/10

Bones 11.02

Very disapointing. Also, Kim Raver’s character did not bring anything to the storyline. Why hire her then?

That’s Jared in there, my brother.
Bones, I’m okay.
This is who you’re geniuenly are.

4/10

Bones 11.03

Who knows what the case was about. Also, gross, I couldn’t eat and I always eat while watchinhg Bones.

Daddy’s looking for uncle Jared.
You aranged a show for me?
How she got in and out of the crib.

3/10

Greys 12.03

Season 12 is not as good as we wished it t be.

Someone invited you to your ex boyfriend’s wedding? So rude.
I can’t have sex with you.
No.
I really do like her, she makes me the not so crazy sister.
What do you think they’re paying her?
Izzie anted to freeze her eggs.

7/10

SVU 17.04

The cases are disastrous this season. Nothing new. Mariska all breathing heavily after walking up those stairs, very relatable.

Also Detective Rollins, I assume you know she’s pregnant.

4/10

SVU 17.03

The only way I could have been more shocked is if they told us Cragen is the father, instead of Declan. Good case, not told as well as we’d expect from this incredible show.

He could have killed you. You survived.
Then he raped the little girl too?

2.5/10

Castle 8.03

Entertaining, and that’s all we need from this type of show. Who knows who killed the guy though?

Hey bro, you know what frat the dead dude was from.
Dude, you look like you’re 40.
Including sending your daughter to a house of drunken fratboys, dressed like a slutty angel.
Beer pong challenge everybody.

7.5/10

Scream Queens 1.03

It was a hilarious episode, nicely surprised. Also, Texas Chainsaw ladies and gents. I absolutely adore all the ED insults. I have a friend who has quit this show saying it’s dumb, and she continues to watch AHS, while I can’t stand it. Scream Queens is light and fun, and it has Jamie Lee Curtis, and surprisingly well written for this kind of show, and I have actually missed it this week. Life is too stressful not to watch a few light shows.

It could be really anything, bulimia…
Especially when she was tweeting, ‘I’m being killed.’
Bitch is not even cute.
Don’t ask me if I wanna go, hoes.
You started freaking out when I said I wanted to sleep with your corpse.
You have that Samantha Ronson thing going on.
Find that tortured gay kid in your life and hold them close tonight.
Welcome to Film Analysis.
Which I consider to be the best film. Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Are we all running from Chainsaws of our past?
What we do with the hurt of that trauma defines who we are.
A uniform she ripped off from an ice cream stand.
The intesity of thh experience of being haunted by a psychopath has really bonded them.
You and I are moving into kappa house for a week.
My father is Charles Manson.
Bitches gather’ound.
Bitches, I would like you to meet Chanel number 6.
Chanel says I can hold her hair back on purge nights.
What’s insane are your tweets to the executive producer of the hit TV show How To Get Away With Murder.
6 months ago you tweeted @ShondaRhimes If Annalise Keating really wanted to get away with murderm she’d find a partner and work as a team.
I need to sleep with a white noise machine on.
Baboon attack.
I’ll set the machine to slasher movie and we’ll leave it at that.
Didn’t you hear the screaming?
No! I mean, yes, I heard screaming, but that’s because the white noise machine was set to slasher movie.

10/10

Nashville 4.01

Just like I thought, they couldn’t kill Deacon off.

You may not know it now, but this is the best friend you’re gonna have your whole life.
Push her in front of an upcoming traffic, I don’t care.

8/10

Nashville 4.02

Nice to see everyone appreciating Layla’s talent again. I want Jullitte’s old manager to represent her! Just imagine how far she would get with his help. Meanwhile, Will got dropped from Luke’s label for being gay. Do we want him on Highway 65? Yes!

We have a solo gig for you tomorrow night at the Bluebird.
Layla, amazing show, seriously. I was blown away.
I know you have a manager, but should that ever change, I’d like to be your first call.
I’m sorry son, I’m gonna have to drop you from the label.
You’d record my songs yourself?

7/10

Scandal 5.02

Finally something is happening. I absolutely loved the ending. The secret is out.

President is about to get Poped.
For the first time ever, President and his mistress will address the country.
My Casey could make fake photos like that in 15 minutes, she’s very good with computers.
You’ve got an alibi, Huck?
She’s making a statement, fix it.
Mr President, you don’t get to be like anyone else, that’s the job you signed up for.
You leaked these photos.
I get turned on by crime scenes.
Are you the President’s mistress?
Yes.

5.5/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.02

Femke’s character, reminded me of Shirley Maclaine’s character in The Children’s Hour, I bet it’s gonna be one of my favorite storylines this season. Sadly, they let her go.

You screw up again, you’re gonna be the next dead body in the house.
Please explain the extent of your relationship with Mrs Keating.
If she’d been able to get into Harvard.
If not a tranqualizer.
Researching your next murder?
Let the slut shaming begin.
Always bringing me problems, never solutions.
What I did, it was for you. To take care of you.
I didn’t take care of you. I ruined you.
You needed to be saved from me.
Now go home and don’t kill anyone.
Because a part of me is still in love with you.
I hate how you make me feel, because I can’t have you.
It was good with you. And real. Too real.
But you’re the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.
I’m not saying marry me. Just think about it.

9.5/10

Downton Abbey 7.03

Everyone continues to stress about their job.

I know what a catalogue is.
Typical, 30 years of serving, one wrong move and snap, you’re out on your ear.
I can’t see the future, but then I suppose none of us can.

8/10

Scream Queens 1.04

She’s not dead. She’s haunting the campus with her fatness.
Now Zedae will win because we live in the age of Obama?
When I find a gravestone I like I get turned on and rub one out to it.
Hey, that’s my sister and she’s not a bitch. But I am.
Also not a student.
Zeade should have considered the fact that she was gonna get kidnapped.

5.5/10

Scream Queens 1.05

The Shining and The Silence of the lambs references.

Give me the exact replica of the maze from The Shining.
Apparently, one of them died or something.
Excuse me, it’s not my fault that some old guy died in the 70s.
Excuse me, than who’s fault is it?
My husband was shot in Dallas, you idiot.
Or the human mattress Nancy Reagan.
Dibbs. I’m Nancy Reagan.
You’re a weird psycho lunatic who’s gonna end up in an asylum somewhere staring at the wall.
All smartphones have GPS in the evern when they’re dead.

8/10

Grandfathered 1.02

Grandfathered got a full season and well deserved too. I gave this episode a 10, but now I don’t really see why, oh well.

You were driving and you stopped to write that down?
Let’s sit by the garbage. By the garbage!
Yeah I got it.
So you take a lot of pictures of yourself.
Thank you, it’s se;f expression, gives me a way to be artistic.
I’m gonna make instructional male up videos on youtube.
You follow her?
Since the day I met her. Sounds creepy, I’m fine with that.
Jimmy get in here, I need man to sit on.

10/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.03

Femke is gone and we’re back to the usual boredom. I couldn’t care less about the siblings this whole season is based around.

What does sex have to do with criminal law?
Everything.
Sexual healing.
Move, find me a pervert.

2/10

Faking It 2.17

This season is ridiculous. Why am I still watching this show? Good thing it’s only 20 minutes.

When did you become such a Pretty Little Liar?
You’re a woman and you’re a gay man, let’s hear you roar.
The bi label is just a step in the coming out process.
Drunken hookup. Curious. Bi. Full blown gay. Elton John.

1.5/10

Faking It 2.18

How come this is the end of their junior year and they’re all so sexually experienced? Even in 90210 there were some virgins junior year.

What’s wrong, already screwed everything with a pulse?
We are more than our scars.
What is she doing?
No clue.
Don’t do this.
Or what?

2/10

The Simpsons 27.03

No one outfats me.

2.5/10

The Simpsons 27.04

Halloweening your house.
I’ll take this to my dad and tell him it’s his new roomate.

As promised, here are the missing reviews.

SVU 17.01

SVU is back. Not their best case, but good enough.

You’re suggesting he was able to pass as a woman after 9/11?
He keeps autopsy photos beside his bed?

8.5/10

SVU 17.02

We all know the baby is Nick’s, you don’t have to lie, Amanda.

Usually you’re two steps in front of me.
You’re up for a flight?
Not really.
He gave her a ride, she bled from a papercut.
She had a slightly different scent, like you do.
Being a single mom is not easy.

9/10

Castle 8.01

I like the Alexis/Castle alliance.

You closed four cases?
You and Beckett are magic together.

8.5/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.01

I love how they show us that a straight woman may fall for a woman without being gay. Annalise isn’t bisexual, she just has a weakness for her ex. I don’t think she’ll be hooking up with any other woman. Can we keep Femke on full time? ‘I’m not gonna know you next year’ describes every shared accomodation leaving ever.  You’re just thrown together by an accident, and you won’t keep in touch with most people you meet. Denying ‘thinking about the one that got away every other day’ is what we all do and have to live with.

I’m not gonna know you next year.
I grew up, I stopped playing the victim.
You’re the one sick enough to do this.
Now that you’ve done it, you’re a monster, just like me.
I’m not sitting here every day crying about how you left me for your therapist.
I lied, I think about you every day.
She’s just about to off us.
You’d get no warning if I was to off you.

6.5/10

Scream Queens 1.01

Cleaning up bulimia vomit.
Everyone is encouraged to dress white, be white.
I’m a candle blogger.
Mr convicted sex offender.
These sorority bitches.
Screaming bloody murder for being objectified, even though they objectify themselves.
Oh Pissy Spacek.

8.5/10

Scream Queens 1.02

Just because you know a guy who was in class with the dead girl’s roommate does not mean that it could’ve been you.
Dean of Murder U.
Like a Friends episode, but someone is tryng to kill all the Friends.
What good are you, we can call yje police ourselves.
Cannibal who cooks his victims.

5.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.12

Travis’s back story.

It’s because that girl got raped in the deaf dorm.
Standing up to your attacker like that.
I get what you’re going through. I do . Something happened to me.
It happens to a lot of deaf kids.
It was a family friend, a long time ago.
I don’t think any differently of you.
Something similar happened to her.
Definitely, Have her email me

7/10

Switched at Birth 4.13

I don’t think Toby is ready for this, two years ago he was still in high school and he hasn’t grown up since then.

John, walk into the 21st century.

3.5/10

Faking It 1.11

It will be like sisterhood of travelling pants.

2/10

Faking it 2.12

3/10

Faking it 2.13

Weaker and weaker every week.

1.5/10

Faking It 2.14

Oh so terrible.

0.5/10

The Whispers 1.13

Apparently I haven’t posted my review of The Whipsers’ finale. I was nicely surprised and I am awfully sad that we won’t probably see it next year. Claire was taken by Drew and I’m not okay with never finding out how it works out.

They’re not here for our planet, they’re here for our children

8.5/10

Scream 1.10

Rest in peace, Wes Craven. You will always remain one of my biggest insirations and influences.

Bad luck had it that Pretty Little Liars just went with the transgender storyline a week earlier.

You’re the survivor girl, which makes me the know it all sidekick. Oh crap, I’m gonna die.
I do not vote in favor of splitting up. Nor am I retiring in 3 days. And I will not be right back.
They always come back.
And survival girl at the back of the ambulance.
And survivor of the Lakewood slasher massacre.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started in 2010 as weekly reviews of 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, mostly thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd.

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

Enjoy!

About the Author

All I do is watch movies, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes I make my own.

Check out my latest film (120K+ views on Youtube):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3Iz23hD7M

I’ve seen over 6000 films and 220 TV shows. I have a degree in Film Production, and wrote my dissertation on Italian neorealism. I mostly gravitate towards social issues films, anything Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica or Jafar Panahi, etc.

I rate films within genre. I watch a lot of films on Mubi, Filmbox Arthouse. My favourite directors are Yasujiro Ozu, Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Zhang Yimou, Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, Brian De Palma, Vittorio De Sica and Andrzej Wajda. My favourite actresses have always been Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. I’m at the cinema 10 times a month. And I’m a Polish-British millennial.

I will watch anything:

psychological | arthouse | foreign | independent | drama | horror | lgbt | strong female characters | female centred films | dysfunctional families | sexual assault | troubled childhood | mental health issues

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)
