you should just write down all the lines that remind you of them and spam with them. i'd personally die of happy ;)
honestly, the weirder the writer, the more i like them. i love oddball stuff!

drowning in culture = best thing ever ever everrrrr!

ah that's so impressive! my grandfather taught himself french when he had to work in france, but he's since forgotten some of it. but it's so funny because when i used to bring my french homework to his place, he'd always start talking to me in french! the first time, i was in complete and utter shock aha!

:D

also, sorry for the painfully late reply D:

I really should! That is a great suggestion, as I could have a picspam of them with quotes. OMG, I'll die of happy, too, with the post to carry on my legacy.

As do I! Lynch and Cronenberg, for example, are a couple of my favorites, and I find there's a lot of heart and beauty to be found in their work.

It is! I've been immersed in the history of the French Resistance and occupation and I have some documentaries and films on the subject, so I've been drowning in history and culture which I find ridiculously exciting.

He took some classes in the late '70s, but come the early '80s when he began his career as a reference librarian, the best method he found was conversing with the Russians who moved to our city. He befriended many of them, so I grew up around them (I can't speak the language at all, but I love the sound of it). Whenever anyone needs help with Russian or the library needs to order Russian books, my dad's the one they go to.

Aw, I love that! I would be the same way if I were in your shoes, but that is amazing!

I now apologize for such a late reply! If you'd like, you can join in the fun here.

QUOTE PICSPAM YESSSSS!

I definitely need to check those two out, then! I love when something has heart and beauty...ugh <3

That is so amazing, omg. So jealous!

That's what I've heard; the best way to learn a language is so speak with people who speak it fluently. I'd love to move to France just to learn French, aha ;)

Yes for sure :D

heh no problem! heading there now :D

I have all the screencaps I plan on using ready and plenty of quotes to work with, so I plan on making the post later tonight. It's such a great idea, and aside from watching too much Twin Peaks, you've been a wonderful help!

David Cronenberg and David Lynch are two of my favorites. Cronenberg is a pioneer of the body horror genre, which is about the limits and destruction of the human body. His films can be intense, but they're far more than horror. His newest work, A History of Violence and Eastern Promises are his most accessable films, but I recommend everything he's done.
David Lynch's series Twin Peaks (its 20th anniversary was this past week) is one of the best television series I've ever seen and Dale Cooper is probably the sweetest, most genuine fictional character in existence. I highly recommend Wild at Heart and Blue Velvet.

Research has been such a vacuum with my time lately, but I'm very much loving it.

My dad has such a knack for Russian accents, which then leads to the Russians he meets getting excited that someone can recognize where they're from, as well as speak the language. For years, if we'd go anywhere, we'd run into them in public and enthusiastic conversations in Russian would ensue (I would just observe).

My dad also tells me (in the nicest way possible) to go to Paris and never come back. But oh, if only.

I decided to upload a film every month and post it to my LJ, and I figured you might be interested, as I love discussing such things with people and I've been enjoying our conversation.

:D

Oooh thank you for those little mini reviews, I shall definitely check them out!

Ah well that's good :)

Oh man, I wish my parents would tell me that :O

If only I had time to actually watch a movie and give my input. It's been go go go lately with school & I've barely had time for anything, really :C hopefully this summer I'll be able to watch the movies you post!

Oh, my goodness, I've been terribly late with getting back to people, as I had been under the weather and all.

I have a variety of quotes compiled, so now I'm going to mull over which ones fit them best (I'm far too particular, which can be a pain).

You're welcome! David Cronenberg and David Lynch are, in my opinion, necessary viewing.

My parents have advised me in various interesting ways over the years, but being told to go Paris and never come back is one of my favorites (along with being told that I remind my dad of Peter Fonda, which started a love affair with drive-in biker films and the Fonda family).

Jump in whenever you're able to! I've noticed that many of my friends here have been busy with school, so I'll save my favorite and more interesting choices for the summer. I hope everything's going well with you ♥

awww i hope you're feeling better :)

yay! i'm like that too aha, don't worry about it. i can't wait to see what you put together :D

i shall be sure check them out!

aha that's so awesome!

yay, thank you :)

everything's all right on this end, but i've been so swamped with homework :C it's great fun though, i'm surprisingly enjoying these assignments and whatnot aha. ♥

I'm doing better! I'm just tired from work and research (and my incessant need to keep photoshop open). It's all been colliding together, but everything's calming down, somewhat. I'm making time for the quote post this weekend, though!

And you're welcome! I'm thinking of posting Sid & Nancy next as it's one of my favorites and because it was on late last night, which inspired me.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well and that you're enjoying your assignments, even if it is a bit overwhelming! I know how that can be, and one of my close friends is dealing with the same.

that's good!
ahah photoshop ALWAYS needs to be open! you never know when inspiration will strike!

love that movie! go for it :D

mhm for sure!
