Big Brother

The Quote: "I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it’s the government."

Words Of Wisdom? As wise as they comไe – plus an inte𒅌lligent twist on overly paranoid UFO seekers.

Philosophy

The Film: Stardust Memories (1980)

The Quote: "I took one course in existential philosophy at New York University and on the final they gave me ten questions. I couldn't answer a single one of 'em. You know? I left ’em all blank... I got a hundred."

Words Of Wisdom? ꧂ Definitely – a none-too-cynical appraisal of the s🐷tupidity of examining bodies.

Getting Political

The Film: Deconstructing Harry (1997)

The Quote: Doris: You have no values. With you it's all nihilism, cynicism, sarcasm, and orgasm.
Harry: Hey, in France I could run for office with that slogan, and win

Words Of Wisdom? We’re surprised nobody’s actually tried to run for ofꦡfice with that slogan in France. That was Sarkozy’s fatal 🍌error, clearly.

Raise It Up

The Quote: "Love is the answer. But while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions."

Words Of Wisdom? Too much sex could lead to you doing yours🧜elf an injury though. Or turning into Brandon Sullivan...

Red Right Hand

The Quote: "Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand."

Words Of Wisdom? Really funny and yes, pretty true, too. Sadly.

Culinary Genius

The Film: Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993)

The Quote: "Taste my tuna casserole – tell me if I put in too much hot fudge."

Words Of Wisdom? Not particularly. Unless you enjoy 🍷a little experimentation in the kitchen.

Success Story

The Quote: "80% of success is showing up."

Words Of Wisdom? A surprisingly motivating st𝔍atement from the worrisome little fellow. This is one to pin above your desk.

Mad Math

The Film: Zelig (1983)

The Quote: "I have an interesting case. I'm treating two sets of Siamese twins with split personalities. I'm getting paid by eight people."

Words Of Wisdom? More of a clever quip than actual wisdom.

Supernova

The Quote: "This year I'm a star, but what will I be next year? A black hole?"

Words Of Wisdom? A typically pessimistic stance from the auteur, though a pretty succinct summation of celebrity&rsqu🐭o;s short life span.

Compose This

The Film: Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993)

The Quote: "I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland."

Words Of Wisdom? It’s sort of like saying listening to Abba makes you want to eat meatballs and talk like the Sw⛦edish Chef. Which, actually, it sort of does...
