Two distractions that have kept me sane, in-between bouts of wrestling with PowerPoint and obsessing over my talk for tomorrow:
Heathers - Ah, for the good old days, when a movie could be made featuring a sympathetic lead character who whips out a gun in the cafeteria and shoots the two most obnoxious jocks in school with blanks. He not only doesn't get expelled (or jailed), he also gets the girl - though he tries to off her in the end, as well. Every line is a classic.
The Outsiders - Ah, for the good, even older days, when greasers read Gone With The Wind and quoted Robert Frost.
Which is more memorable?
"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home."
or
"Well, they seem to have an open door policy for assholes though, don't they?"
