You cured me of you.

Emma: I can't believe I'm actually here with you.
Dexter: Why? 
Emma: Remember at University, before we'd spoken, 
I had a crush on you.
 Ridiculous, I know. But, when we almost um...did it, that night, 
I couldn't believe that...that poems aren't everything.
 What have you got to say to that?
Dexter: Well, I already knew.
Emma: What do you mean you knew?
Dexter: Well, I sort of guessed. All those uh...epic letters and compilation tapes. 
So go on then, what happened?
Emma: I got to know you. You cured me of you.
Dexter: You know, I still like to read those poems. 
What rhymes with Dexter?
Emma: Prick. It's a half rhyme.

What is the difference between...

Customer: What is the difference between...
Emma: A tortilla is either corn or wheat, but a corn tortilla folded and filled is a taco, where as a filled wheat tortilla is a boretto. A deep fried boretto is a chimichanga. Toasted tortilla, it's a tostada, roll it, it's an enchilada.
Customer: Is there any chance you could repeat that?

Because it's the halves that halve you in half

I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it, but I didn't, not really. 
Only the smudgeness of it; the pink-slippered, all-containered, semi-precious eagerness of it. I didn't realize it would sometimes be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. 
Because it's the halves that halve you in half.
 I didn't know, don't know, about the in-between bits; 
the gory bits of you, and the gory bits of me.

I wanted to be loved because I was great...

I wanted to be loved because I was great; A big man. I'm nothing. Look at the glory around us; trees, birds. I lived in shame. I dishonored it all, and didn't notice the glory. I'm a foolish man.

My name is Patrick Bateman

I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. 
I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. 
Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

You want to know why I wrote that stupid book?

Jesse: I'm serious. I think I wrote it, in a way, to try to find you.
Celine: Okay, that's– I know that's not true, 
but that's sweet of you to say.
Jesse: I think it is true. 
What do you think were the chances of us ever meeting again?
Celine: After that December, I'd say almost zero. But we're not real anyway, right? We're just, uh, characters in that old lady's dream. She's on her deathbed, fantasizing about her youth. So of course we had to meet again.

L'Usine de films amateurs By Michel Gondry ♥

L'Usine de films amateurs vous invite à venir créer votre propre film, en suivant un protocole simple imaginé par Michel Gondry, dans un studio de cinéma reconstitué pour l'occasion.

À la manière de Jack Black et Mos Def dans le film de Michel Gondry, Soyez sympas, rembobinez, vous pouvez fabriquer un film de A à Z en un temps record (3h !).

Vous souhaitez participer ? Cette activité est proposée gratuitement à tous
nous vous recommandons de vous inscrire à l'avance, 
pour former ou rejoindre un groupe de 5 à 15 personnes.
Après une première visite des lieux et un passage par les accessoires
vous passerez à « l'action », depuis l'écriture du scénario et le choix 
des acteurs jusqu'au tournage et à la réalisation des effets spéciaux « bricolés » sur place !
Aucune formation n'est nécessaire, 
l'objectif est de se faire plaisir en fabriquant son propre film !
Un ensemble de décors et de machineries simulant à la fois des intérieurs et des extérieurs vous offrent la possibilité de tourner un nombre infini d'histoires. Tout le matériel nécessaire est mis à votre disposition pour que vous soyez autonomes.

Trois heures plus tard, vous repartez du studio avec un DVD de votre film !

Michel Gondry @ FICM

Asiste Michel Gondry este viernes al FICM 21 de Octubre 2011
El cineasta francés Michel Gondry visitará este viernes por primera vez el Festival Internacional de Cine de Morelia para presentar una función especial de "Rebobine, por favor" (Be Kind Rewind, traducida en México como "Originalmente pirata").

La visita de Gondry coincide con la del actor Gael García Bernal, quien presentó este jueves el programa "Los invisibles", así como la película "The Loneliest Planet" de la directora Julia Loktev. Ambos trabajaron en La ciencia del sueño (2006), filme de clausura del FICM 2006, informó el FICM en un comunicado.

Actualmente Gondry se encuentra involucrado en un proyecto imaginado y realizado por él mismo en febrero de 2011, en el Centro Georges Pompidou, París: La fábrica de películas (L´Usine de films amateurs). La idea consiste en levantar un estudio transitorio de cine, accesible para todos y con la intención de que el público pueda crear su propia obra cinematográfica.

La fábrica de películas funciona con un protocolo muy bien elaborado y distintos sets de decoración que permiten una variedad infinita de historias. Los participantes se apuntan por orden de llegada, y siguiendo los pasos del proceso de creación, salen después de 3 horas con su obra en DVD, al estilo de Be Kind Rewind, punto de partida de este nuevo proyecto.

En un inicio, esta experiencia se instaló en museos de arte contemporáneo por sesiones de dos meses (Nueva York, Sao Paolo, París, Johannesburgo), y la intención del cineasta es que sea instalada en más ciudades alrededor del mundo.

Nothing would ever change.

The pain, so unexpected and undeserved had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn't hate the cabinet door, I hated my life... My house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and I can count on nothing.

Would you leave him?

Man:
 If I told you I still loved you, 
that I always loved you, 
that I loved you to distraction, would you leave him?
Woman
No.

After living in the dark for so long...

After living in the dark for so long, a glimpse of the light can make you giddy. Strange thoughts come into your head and you better think’em. Has a special fate been calling you and you not listening? Is there a secret message right in front of you and you’re not reading it? Is this your last, best chance? Are you gonna take it? Or are you going to the grave with unlived lives in your veins?

I’m incapable of caring or loving

Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband. 
And sometimes it feels really close. 
But then other times it seems silly like it would ruin my whole life. 
And it’s not just a fear of commitment or that 
I’m incapable of caring or loving because…
I can. It’s just that, if I’m totally honest with myself 
I think I’d rather die knowing that I was really good at something. 
That I had excelled in some way than that 
I’d just been in a nice, caring relationship.
