Quote

I wear a pedometer, a little device that counts every step. It works as a goad, because you walk additional distances to pile up the numbers. The average person walks 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day. I walk 10,000 steps a day. I have lost a lot of weight as a result.

I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I'm stuck with them.

Dogs notice, they share, they draw conclusions, they like it when they're able to be of service and are touchingly grateful when they're praised.
Roger Ebert
Image
I just assume I'm right. Partially out of conviction and partially as a pose.

We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.

Movies are like a machine that generates empathy.

The layout was griping, the glide is awesome. Two ten-inch fins up, way up.

Sometimes, it's all about the casting.

Valentines Day is being marketed as a Date Movie. I think its more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do not date that person again. And if you like it, there may not be a second date.

If you can act as if something is true, in a sense that makes it true.

'Grand Illusion' and 'Rules of the Game' are routinely included on lists of the greatest films, and deserve to be.

The right really dominates radio, and it's amazing how much energy the right spends telling us that the press is slanted to the left when it really isn't. They want to shut other people up. They really don't understand the First Amendment.

We think of first love as sweet and valuable, a blessed if hazardous condition.

We laugh, that we may not cry.

The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many Europeans were able to live with the idea of the Holocaust: Once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there?

If you pay attention to the movies they will tell you what people desire and fear. Movies are hardly ever about what they seem to be about. Look at a movie that a lot of people love, and you will find something profound, no matter how silly the film may be.

It's like the high school production of something you saw at Steppenwolf, with the most gifted students in drama class playing the John Malkovich and Joan Allen roles.

[Marlon] Brando was the only guy who could step out of that shadow at the end of that movie and be worth the wait.

If you have to ask what it symbolizes, it didn't.

And yet, even so, there is a way to find happiness. That is to be curious about all of the interlocking events that add up to our lives. To notice connections. To be amused or perhaps frightened by the ways things work out. If the universe is indifferent, what a consolation that we are not.

Steven Spielberg makes Minority Report with the newest digital technology other directors seem to be trying to make their movies from it.
