Friday Flicks

I'm in Philly visiting Dad, so I just scheduled some silly fun filler for Friday.  Since I do love the movies, and shall probably come back with a review of something I'll see with Dad, let's just read some quotes about films today.

Pictures are for entertainment, messages should be delivered by Western Union - Samuel Goldwyn

For me the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake - Alfred Hitchcock

Good movies make you care, make you believe in possibilities again - Pauline Kael

I've got this preoccupation with ordinary people pursued by larger forces - Stephen Spielberg

Happy Friday all.  Fingers crossed I make it back aboard a plane tomorrow and fly to DFW to be greeted by Ray's shining face. Enjoy your weekend.

    Hi Joanne - Goldwyn's quote should always appear. Enjoy the time with your Dad - so pleased you can both enjoy a show or film at home together ... good luck with that return journey - but lovely hubby welcome home! Cheers Hilary

    I'm so glad you had a good visit. (I was a tad concerned that the gov't shut-down would have a negative impact on your experiences at the airport.)

    These quotes are great. The one by Hitchcock kinda made me chuckle. HIS movies "pieces of cake?"
