Quote

Sometimes God picks you up and tells you, You've been messing around now. You're going to have to stop this, stop that, but I'll give you another chance. And you wonder why you're given another chance. It must be for something it must be to celebrate life.

No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.
