If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered.

I was warped early by Ray Bradbury and Edgar Allan Poe. I was very fond of Franz Kafka. Margaret Atwood

"Tell me all the terrible things you've done and let me love you anyways" - Edgar Allan Poe

When I saw the film for the first time I was blown away, everything fit and then all the exteriors, wow. The city of New York in a desolate state, the crime, the cops, the streets, every second was so captivating that I was completely absorbed in the film. Even the stunts were realistic, unlike today, and will thrill any cinematic connoisseur.

This, along with the second part, is one of my two favourite films, which I own in every version and watch again and again to see more details. Both are independent masterpieces on all levels of cinematic artistry, Gene Hackman is a real delight as the big city cop, rude, smart in his own way and caught up in the super story.

I'm still as excited as the first day, which is really rather a statement.

The athlete's lack of hip position is not a disadvantage, especially given his age (51 years). It can be argued that experience and skill outweigh the advantage of youth and technical finesse. It's hard to believe that the shooter still has a hand in his pocket!

It would be unwise to underestimate anyone, regardless of their age. There are no limits to what someone can achieve in life, except perhaps death.

Sometimes the whole mannerism of the athletes' put-on coolness is annoying. This behaviour may be attributed to the individual's youth and the desire to present a cool facade in order to disguise any feelings of nervousness.

Perhaps it would be advisable to choose the purer option, to ensure the best possible result.

The actors who are regarded as the most significant figures in the film industry today were, at one point in their careers, relatively unknown. These actors played significant roles in films that are now regarded as classics, but now known only to a small number of enthusiasts.

What may seem bizarre to some is actually the epitome of extraordinary! They don't recognize the incredible bond behind the sheer passion. It's a love so strong, so pure, so unwavering, it transcends conformity and defies expectations!

The adage "birds of a feather flock together" succinctly encapsulates the tendency of like-minded individuals to gravitate towards one another.

Who would want to have a soul mate when you can have an identical crazy one?

Sometimes, you don't have to reach for the stars when the moon is enough – and it's a delight to discover that sometimes, that's all you need!
