"They've got a cherry pie there that'll kill ya"


Twin Peaks (1990-1991) Part I

Great things Special Agent Cooper says about Great Food:
(aka Why Dale Cooper is the Best Human Ever)

To Diane: "Lunch was, uh, six dollars and thirty-one cents at the Lamplighter Inn, that's on Highway Two near Lewis Fork. That was a tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat, slice of cherry pie, and a cup of coffee. Damn good food. Diane, if you ever get up this way that cherry pie is worth a stop."

To Harry: "Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it; don't wait for it; just let it happen. It could be a new shirt in a men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black, coffee."

To Waitress: "You know, this is--excuse me--a damn fine cup of coffee. I've had I can't tell you how many cups of coffee in my life and this, this is one of the best. Now I'd like two eggs over hard. I know, don't tell me, it's hard on the arteries, but old habits die hard, just about as hard as I want those eggs. Bacon--super crispy. Almost burned. Cremated. That's great. And I'll have the grapefruit juice, just as long as those grapefruits are freshly squeezed."

Pete: "Mr. Cooper, how do you take it?"
Cooper: "Black as midnight on a moonless night."

To Waitress: "Trudy, two more cups of coffee please...Shortstack of griddlecakes, melted butter, maple syrup, lightly heated, and a slice of ham. Nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup collides with ham."

Babies

I really like putting stuff on my lips
   sometimes it makes me feel hip and cooler (than I pretend to be)
   sometimes it makes me feel like I'm ironically channeling Barbie
   sometimes it makes me feel I'm a eerie space alien (which is the best feeling in the world)
   sometimes it's just lip balm that I'd swipe on before I go to sleep

"I, myself, am strange and unusual."


Beetlejuice (1988)
Tim Burton is one cool cat. I'll just put the lyrics to Shake Senora instead of rambling:

Shake, shake, shake Senora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake Senora, shake it all the time
Work, work, work Senora, work your body line
Work, work, work Senora, work it all the time
My girl's name is Senora. I tell you friends I adore her.
When she dances oh, brother, 
she's a hurricane in all kinds of weather.
Jump in the line rock your body in time.
O-kay! I believe you.
Jump in the line rock your body in time.
O-kay! I believe you.

Jump in the line rock your body in time.
O-kay! I believe you.
Jump in the line rock your body in time.
Oh!

"Thirty, flirty and thriving"


13 Going on 30 (2004)
I’ll try not to be sentimental about a romcom, but this made me think about the choices I've made and how they shaped me as a person. Choices like the people I surround myself with and the things I do with the majority of my time. The ultimate question is: Do you like who you've become? Jenna doesn't. But she doesn't accept her situation, she changes. And that’s awesome because life is a fluid thing. I could never relate to this film because thirteen year old me thought everyone, not only boys, had cooties and all I did was read books. I really appreciated little Matt's dance to Talking Heads WISH I HAD A BUDDY LIKE HIM

"Only a certain kind of woman wears a backless dress with a Beretta 70 strapped to her thigh."


Skyfall (2012)
The people of Skyfall do not eat, rather they drink. Most people's bodies are made up of 70% water, Bond's vessel is 70% alcohol. Seriously, all the characters consume is liquid: scotch, champagne, martini, coffee, beer…as long as it’s a liquid stimulant, they’ll drink it. I'm not so keen on the Bond films, or any action flicks with unnecessary destruction and female objectification (I'm looking at you, Mr. Bay), but I felt compelled to watch it because everyone around me had been raving about it. I liked the soft-spoken Q and the iconic espionage guitar/trumpet work and the whole fabulousness of killing people (◕‿◕✿)
