Quote of the Day

Worf: “This is the story of a little ship that took a little trip.” What do you think?

Jadzia Dax: It’s, uh… well, it rhymes. [grabs the padd from him] There’s nothing on this padd!

Quote of the Day

“Listen, Hermione, I can tell it’s not a girl. I can just tell.”

“The truth is that you don’t think a girl would have been clever enough,” said Hermione angrily.

“How can I have hung round with you for five years and not think girls are clever?” said Harry, stung by this.

Xander and Angel, Prophecy Girl

Angel:  What?

Xander:  You were looking at my neck.

Angel:  What?

Xander:  You were checking out my neck! I saw that!

Angel:  No, I wasn’t!

Xander:  Just keep your distance, pal.

Angel:  I wasn’t looking at your neck!

Xander:  I told you to eat before we left.

Trailer Tuesday: Pride

Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where we look at trailers for upcoming movies.

Most Trailer Tuesdays I post a trailer along with a bunch of screencaps that either highlight interesting moments from the trailer or which show off the film’s visuals.  However, not every film I want to bring your attention to needs that level of analysis or imagery.  So today we’ve got a trailer that speaks for itself with its excellent cast and interesting subject matter.  So without further ado, here’s the trailer for Pride:

Quote of the Day

Operating theaters are not nearly as popular as dramatic theaters, musical theaters, and movie theaters, and it is easy to see why. A dramatic theater is a large, dark room in which actors perform a play, and if you are in the audience, you can enjoy yourself by listening to the dialog and looking at the costumes. A musical theater is a large, dark room in which musicians perform a symphony, and if you are in the audience, you can enjoy yourself by listening to the melodies and watching the conductor wave his little stick around. And a movie theater is a large, dark room in which a projectionist shows a film, and if you are in the audience, you can enjoy yourself by eating popcorn and gossiping about movie stars. But an operating theater is a large, dark room in which doctors perform medical procedures, and if you are in the audience, the best thing to do is to leave at once, because there is never anything on display in an operating theater but pain, suffering, and discomfort, and for this reason most operating theaters have been closed down or have been turned into restaurants.

Quote of the Day

Miles O’Brien: Don’t hit it too hard. You could shatter the control panel.

Jadzia Dax: Don’t worry, I have a light touch.

Julian Bashir: Not according to Worf…

Quote of the Day

“You’d think people had better things to gossip about,” said Ginny, as she sat on the common room floor, leaning against Harry’s legs and reading the Daily Prophet. “Three dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it’s true you’ve got a hippogriff tattooed across your chest.”

Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter.  Harry ignored them.

“What’d you tell her?”
“I told her it’s a Hungarian Horntail,” said Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. “Much more macho.”

“Thanks,” said Harry, grinning. “And what did you tell her Ron’s got?”
“A Pygmy Puff, but I didn’t say where.”

Ron scowled as Hermione rolled around laughing.

Buffy:  When he wakes up tell him… I don’t know. Think of something cool, tell him I said it.
