Movie Quote of the Week

Christmas is not "clothing optional" this year -- we have a guest.
--Diane Keaton, The Family Stone (2005)

Movie Quote of the Week

Christmas is more about warding off evil spirits than Halloween. What Christmas shit in this room resembles anything Christian, huh? It's all neo-pagan magic. Christmas tree, a magical rite ensuring the return of the crops. The mistletoe is nothing but a conception charm. Fifth century Christians jacked a Roman Winter Festival -- twelve days in December when the nights were long and the Earth was ruled by the demons of chaos.
--Crystal Lowe, Black Christmas (2006)

Movie Quote of the Week

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there -- fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge -- they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around.
--Hugh Grant, Love Actually (2003)

Mortal, we spirits of Christmas do not live only one day of the year. We live the whole 365. So it is true of the child born in Bethlehem. He does not live in men's hearts only one day of the year but in all the days of the year. You have chosen not to seek him in your heart.
--Francis De Wolff, A Christmas Carol (1951)

Movie Quote of the Week

Christmas is a very busy time for us, Mr. Cratchit. People preparing feasts, giving parties, spending the mortgage money on frivolities. One might say that December is the foreclosure season. Harvest time for the money-lenders.

Movie Quote of the Week

Yeah, there’s a lot of bad “isms” floatin’ around this world, but one of the worst is commercialism. Make a buck, make a buck. Even in Brooklyn it’s the same -- don’t care what Christmas stands for, just make a buck, make a buck.
--Alvin Greenman, Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
