Movie Wisdom

I've been watching a lot of movies lately. Not for any particular reason, I just sometimes find there are so many I haven't seen that I feel like I have to spend some time catching up. Here is the vast wisdom I've pulled from my latest selection.

Message from the movie Splice:

"You made your monster and now you must...sleep with it?"

Message from the movie Legend of the Guardians:

"Owls are so cute!"


Message to the writer, "Yes we can tell that you borrowed most of your ideas from other fantasy stories but appreciate that you translated them to the world of adorable baby owls"








Message from the movie To Paris with Love:

"Be wary of people who make their own clothes"
"No really that's all I could think..."

Message from the movie Inception:
"The subconscious is violent...very violent"
Oh and as my friend wrote on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Facebook,
"Dear Mr. King, I had a dream - within a dream - within a dream...now what? Leo"

Excursions in beautiful Riviera Nayarit!

Well it's been just over a week now since I got back from my vacation. When I look back it's clear that outside of the normal bumps of any vacation, it was a very pleasant one! My parents and I flew into Puerto Vallarta at around 4pm on Friday July 1. As we stumbled into the crowded airport and attempted to manuever our way through the throngs of sales people, the kissy faces of a number of Mexican men made me suddenly all too conscious of my "Kiss me I'm Canadian" shirt. Oh well, like anyone would dare try with my Mom nearby (she gives off very protective Mom vibes...I think it may be because she's very protective). Anyway after a run in with a sales man who had briefly convinced us he was our Sun Wing Rep, we managed to slump into a nice air conditioned bus that took us the 20 minutes or so to Riviera Nayarit and up to our Resort "Riu Jalisco". It took me a good part of the trip to realize that the "j" is Jalisco is pronounced "h...

Inspiration

I don't know if this is something that everyone does or not, but I have a stack of movies that I go to when I need inspiration. I guess they might be among my favorite movies, but it's more than that. These movies are the one's that give me something that I need at the time whether it be hope, joy, courage, or inspiration. Each one touches me in a different way. These are the movies that I will likely watch at least once a year and in some cases many times in a year. Do you have a movie or movies that do the same for you? Maybe it's a romance that reminds you that love is real and possible, or an action that pumps you up and makes you feel like you can do anything. Here's my list! 1) The Lord of the Rings Trilogy 2) Pride and Prejudice 3) The Sound of Music 4) Sister Act 1 and 2 5) Gone with the Wind 6) Yentl 7) Bruce Almighty 8) The Phantom of the Opera 9) Up 10) Tangled (new to the list) There are probably a lot more, but I can't think of them o...

NaNoWriMo!

Hi Friends! After our fun discussions during coffee on Wednesday night I was inspired to write a bare bones summary of my Nanowrimo (Nation Novel Writing Month) novelette. It is very much a work in progress, but here is the summary of what I'm thinking of writing so far! The year is 2010 and the heroine is a 30 year old career focused historian named Chloe. Her area of research is on literature and art during the early middle ages (5 th to 1000 th century) and her and her assistant Luke are on a flight from Canada to London where she is supposed to be speaking at a conference on monasticism during the dark ages . Chloe decides to arrive a week early so she can take a train up to the Northern edge of Scotland and make her way up to the island of Iona where she can spend some time in peace and quiet to retreat and prepare for her conference. Her assistant decides to join her as he has recently broken up with his girlfriend and is hoping to dive into work and take his mind of his w...
