ABC Wednesday—Q is for "quotes"

I don't know who put this compilation of movie
quotes on the Internet—but it must
have been a fellow romantic, because I can 

tell you what film each of these is from
without even thinking about it.
And then there's this:



Because it will not do to leave out Mr. Darcy

when quoting romantic movies
—though the rest of this one is an excellent
example of that famous pride (or is it prejudice?). 

Besides, how many movie versions 

are there of this classic?
So what's your favorite movie quote?

New York at Night 18

You know how the credits roll for about 10 minutes
at the end of a movie?  Well, all of those people
 use 
lots of equipment, even when they're shooting
on location.  Was walking in the Village one night recently
and there were film trucks lined up for blocks.
At the end of the line was this one, the wardrobe truck.

Mellow Yellow Monday



Went to a screening of this film at the
Italian Cultural Institute last week. It
was totally charming. Lidia Bastianich was 
there, so I introduced myself. She'd
mentioned that her mother is 89. Mine will be 90 
soon, and when I told Lidia what we're 
giving Mom for her b-day, she asked if she could
 borrow the idea for her own mother's birthday. There's 
one thing wrong with this poster, though—no
one drank anything but white wine (and a lot of it!) 
in the entire film. It's a Roman thing, I was told.
