"Maybe once a week, I wake up paralyzed... Reliving that night.
But before the sun went down..I think that was the best day of my life. Was it like that for you?
--No doubt about it. Last time I seen my brother... the sun. Just for a few hours, we was free." #Sinners #HBOMax #horror #IncitingJuly
"[Smoke] And if we see you or any one of your Klan buddies cross our property line... we gonna kill 'em right where they stand. [Hogwood] Klan don't exist anymore." "[Annie] I only ever heard stories... How haints work. They switch places with the soul of a man. But vampires is different. Maybe the worst kind. The soul gets stuck in the body. Can't rejoin the ancestors. Cursed to live here with all this hate. Can't even feel the warmth of a sunrise...The best thing we can do for him is free his spirit from this curse... But they live on even if the one that made them is killed. They gotta be killed, one by one... 'Picked poor Robin clean Oh, didn't that jaybird laugh When I picked poor Robin clean I picked poor Robin clean I picked his head I picked his feet I would've picked his body But he wasn't fit to eat Oh, I picked poor Robin clean'"

"[Jay] If I was you, I'd watch those legs. Wuyi might come up and snatch you right down to the bottom.
But that little ghost doesn't take anyone unless they want to be taken. You haven't heard his screams, have you?" #Untamed #NetflixSeries #Thriller #Miwok #EricBana #IncitingJuly
"[Paul Souter] How do you think this ends?" "[Jay] O-let'-te, Coyote-man, created the Miwok in this valley 4,000 years ago. Gave us El-o'-win for the after. That's 4,000 years of my people's spirits running through here. The earth, the water, the wind. I feel them when I walk through the trees. I hear them all around me when the world quiets. So, when it's my time to die, I will die here. But if I chose to die somewhere else, I would still have my ancestors with me, because the spirits in this valley are within each one of us. The same as they are in the earth, the water, and the winds... At least that's what I remember from the Lone Ranger comic book when I was a kid."

"[Iva] Somebody knows something. Somebody saw something. Somebody heard something. Somebody told somebody something.
We were told by an FBI agent, 'Keep your lights on. Nobody can keep a secret their entire life.'" #AmyBradleyIsMissing #Netflixdocuseries #TrueCrime #IncitingJuly
"[Brad Bradley] After Amy disappeared, watching Dad hold Mom while she's losing it was super hard. Before that, I don't know if I'd ever seen my dad, um... kinda break down. Before Amy's disappearance, life is good, everything's great, everything's going well. And then all of a sudden, the rug gets pulled out from under us, and, um, everything kinda came to a screeching halt."

"Have you been watching the news lately? Some good means nothing... We're not helping... We've done nothing. The world isn't getting any better. It's getting worse... They know who we are. They know what we are." #TheOldGuard #NetflixFilm #Netflix #MondayMovies #Action #IncitingJuly
"[Copley] They're in a lab... being tested... tortured. Merrick... he only cares about her immortality, not what she's done with it... She saves a life, two, three generations later, we reap the benefits. [Nile]...You gave them up. [Copley] I thought it could be the end of disease. I thought it could be the end of suffering... It was supposed to be a gift... to the world. [Nile] It wasn't your gift to give. [Copley] Why would the immortality end?"

"[George] I've even cabled my contacts in London. No one is willing to part with a shilling...
There is no compromise, Mr. Brinkley. If I can't save my company. Then I'll let it burn." #TheGildedAge #HBOseries #HBOMax #Drama #PeriodPiece #IncitingJuly
"[Oscar] You are my savior. I, uh-- I thank you with all my heart." "[Harper] I have always supported Negro suffrage. Frederick Douglas and I believe deeply in the urgency behind the 15th amendment. But of course, men are not the only ones with real claims to the vote. Women deserve a right to the ballot too. [Dorothy Scott] Well said. [Attendee] Bravo. [Mrs. Kirkland] As women, I think we should be about God's work-- educating our children. Leave the vote for the next generation. [Dorothy] I am the next generation and I think we should fight for it now. [Harper] Exactly. We have to keep pushing. [Mrs. Kirkland] But aren't we trying to do too much too soon? It's barely a minute since Emancipation. Let's fight to protect the rights of our husband's vote, hmm? (One lady shakes her head as she sips her tea) They will give us a voice in the government. [Harper] My husband's dead. Do I still have a say in the government? [Dorothy] Complacency will yield nothing. [Attendee] We need more voices like yours Miss Scott. (Scoffs softly) [Mrs. Kirkland] It's not going to happen all at once. It's best to pick our battles. [Harper] I respectfully disagree.We must act so that we have a voice. [Mrs. Kirkland] Ah, I don't know. In my day, a ladies' tea would consist of sharing recipes, talking about our children-- [Dorothy] I'm sorry. I thought William would have told you that this was a suffrage meeting. [Mrs. Kirkland] Sometimes my son leaves out the details. [Dorothy] Oh... [Mrs. Scott] Mrs. Harper, we are so grateful for your time. [Mrs. Kirkland] I'm curious to know how you manage it all. You have children, yes? [Harper] Well, now that they're grown and I don't have a husband to look after. There's more time to write and pursue this cause. [Mrs. Kirkland] I see."

"[George] I just want to know when I get a say in our daughter's life.[Bertha] The day I'm in your boardroom and I'm giving you my ideas on the railroads and the steel mills. Until that day, I won't question your business if you don't question mine." #TheGildedAge #HBOseries #drama #IncitingJuly
"[Ada] Whatever the justice of it, there's no hiding from the fact that our society gives more license to young men than to young women." "[Bertha] Is it finished? [George] I know I'm finished. [Bertha] What does that mean? [George] I have given Hector and his lawyer my final offer. It is a fortune. But of course, they want more. [Bertha] Well, can't you negotiate? [George] Unfortunately, you've made Hector believe that if he pushes hard enough, he'll get a better offer. [Bertha] I never gave any specifics. I just-- [George] You just what? [Bertha] I said I thought he'd be happy. But has it really broken down? We're to announce the engagement at the unveiling of Gladys's portrait, but what now? We'll look like fools. [George] Bertha, this is business. And you should not have gotten involved. I am certainly not the fool here. [Bertha] There has to be some compromise, surely. [George] Not for me. Hector has overreached himself. He has cheated himself of a king's ransom... [Bertha] I really hate to see you go. [Hector] To quote Henry Longfellow, 'Into each life some rain must fall.' (Leaves) [George] (to Bertha) This mess was of your making. I wash my hands of it."

"[Ridley] Because if unicorns are real... then these stories might be too.
[Odell] And you expect us to alter course and invest in a theory based on this?...
[Ridley] I am telling you... Bad things will happen. I can feel it." #DeathofaUnicorn #HBOMax #Horror #Comedy #WeekendMovies #IncitingJuly
"[Ridley] ...Wherever they take us we're gonna be okay. [Elliot] I know. I saw it, too." "The crown jewel are the Met's Medieval Cloisters. The Unicorn Tapestries are among the most beautiful and complex works to have survived from the Middle Ages. The seven tapestries illustrate a cautionary tale of a Lord and his hunter's pursuit of a mystical unicorn, which defends itself and proves untameable. That is, until it is entranced by a purehearted maiden. The unicorn is pacified by the maiden's virtue. The creature is then killed and brought to a castle where it is resurrected and kept in captivity. However, the tapestry depicting the unicorn and the maiden is incomplete, having been damaged during the French Revolution. But this reconstructed restoration tells of a vengeful and violent beast. It's mercilessness and ferocity matched only by how much it was coveted by man."

"[Charles] You know, every time we solve a murder that's when the next body drops. It's like when one murder door closes someone we know either gets stabbed, poisoned, or shot." #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding #Huluseries #Dramedy #Mystery #IncitingJuly
"[Jan] I don't know. But last time we talked, she said she thought there might be another murderer in the building. It was last Wednesday, after my Lifers' Hip-Hop Dance Club. [Charles] That was the night she died. [Jan] You get rid of the body because you've killed the wrong person, and you don't want the right person on high alert. And, trust me, once you've crossed over and tried to kill, if you fail, you come up with way more f---ed-up ways to finish the job... It's not goodbye, Charles. It never is with us. We're end game."

"[Léo] I can't stop thinking about what happened. [Alba] Nothing happened other than what we told the police. So forget about it now. [Léo] But I can't forget about it. [Alba] Léo. You were burdened with carrying me all these years. Even though you weren't meant to do it. But that's over now, Léo. Things are back in place. Don't be scared anymore. Your fear... I'm taking it."

"[Moretti] Oh. With talent comes forgiveness. The bigger the talent, the more complete the forgiveness. Level will grow and grow. We just uh, (snickers) needed someone to get the ball rolling... (Ariel stammers) Come on. You get it." #Opus #HBOMax #HBOmovie #WeekendMovie #horror #A24 #IncitingJuly
"Well, the best part of the story is that the pirates who kidnapped the Julius Caesar thought he was a commoner. They thought they were his equal. And because of this misconception, they asked for the same ransom of Julius Caesar that they would've asked for any Joe Schmo Roman. And this meant that Caesar was obligated to demand a raise in his ransom so that it would be commensurate with his position. And what does that tell us? Well. (Whispers in Ariel's ear) It tells us that royalty, even when at the mercy of peasants, is still royalty, isn't it? Doesn't it? (In normal voice) Now, what about that story, kids?"

"[456] We are not horses. We are humans. And humans are..." #SquidGame #SquidGameFinale #NetflixSeries #thriller #Korea #IncitingJuly
"In this story, in the fictional world of Squid Game, the game is hosted by a specific group of people. But it's really a metaphor for the real world, a world in which capitalism drives relentless competition. So until all that stops, this game isn't going to stop... in other places, the game is still going, because, really, the world at large hasn't changed yet. It's still the same." --Director/Writer Hwang Dong-hyuk "In these kinds of stories, usually the players are trapped, players are trapped, and it ends with them dreaming of escape. But, here, there's a democratic process. They can actually leave if they want to. But they still come back because the reality of the outside world's even harsher. So, the game.. is not unique or special, but it's symbolic because it's no different from the reality that many people face in the real world." --Director/Writer Hwang Dong-hyuk "As humans, this is what we should do. As humans, this is who we should be. And starting now, this is how we can turn this world of ours into a better one." --Director/Writer Hwang Dong-hyuk

"I'm not safe...and they are never going to stop coming for us... Fighting may not get us everything, but we don't have a choice because not fighting is what got us Gilead... And Gilead doesn't need to be beaten. It needs to be broken." #TheHandmaidsTale #Huluseries #Thriller #IncitingJuly
"Here's what we do. We watch them. The men. We study them. We feed them. We please them. We can make them feel strong or weak. We know them that well. We know their worst nightmares. And with a bit of practice that's what we'll become. Nightmares. One day, when we're ready, we're coming for you, just wait... It's their own fault. They should have never given us uniforms if they didn't want us to be an army."
