Do you really need his hands for your passion?
Do you really need his heart for your throne? [ Leonard Cohen - Why Don't You Try (live) ]
She asked: Why this song?
I said: Because its better than saying "What does he have that I don't"?

I have never loved a woman for herself alone, but because I was caught up in the time with her, between train arrivals and train departures and other commitments. I have loved because she was beautiful and we were two humans lying in the forest at the edge of a dark lake or because she was not beautiful and we were two humans walking between buildings who understood something about suffering. I have loved because so many loved her or because so many were indifferent to her, or to make her believe that she was a girl in a meadow upon whose approved knees I laid my head or to make her believe that I was saint and that she had been loved by a saint. I never told a woman I liked her and when I wrote the words “My love,” I never meant it to mean “I love you.”

can shuffle around and also as individual miniseries plus bookends in a
sumptuous Absolute collection printed using the finest intelligent inks
from Mars and Venus on paper so smooth and so sexy that one touch is
like fortnight's worth of non-stop latex sex."

"She ripped my soul apart and tossed away the pieces like she was emptying an ashtray, But does my mind stay on that? Hell no! It brings me back that look she had in her eyes when I told her about my dad. That time we smoked pot and got the giggles and couldn’t stop. That crazy way she got scared in the middle of the night and started crying and how I held her close to me until dawn.”

3 con subtitulos
This week I watched 3 films from directors I have high regards for: Andrew Lau ( "Infernal Affairs" ), Pedro Almodovar ( "All About My Mother" ) and Alejandro González Iñárritu ( "Amores Perros" ).
First up, Daisy [ trailer ] - It goes unsaid that the main draw here for me was Jeon Ji Hyun. I've yet to see one of her movies that I didn't like. A director with pedigree was only a bonus. To me it was a perfect blend of a typical Jeon movie ( a love story, whimsical girl who writes a journal and/or keeps an internal monologue ) and a Lau movie ( Good Cop vs Bad Guy, or is he a Bad Guy? ). It had some soap opera moment though.
Volver [ trailer ] - This movie came off like a complete soap opera which I have never felt from any other Almodovar film. This is Melodrama with a capital M. This one is was just too low key for me. It didn't quite hold my interest. Was it supposed to be some sort of homage to soap operas? Or a revisit to an almost all female cast like "All About Your Mother"? Thankfully I can watch this movie without subtitles and wish nothing but luck to people who have to keep up with them because at times these women were Yentering it up at the speed of sound.
Babel [ Official Site ] - This one is the heartwrencher. Should of known that from all of the other movies by this director. Great but depressing.

Somewhere between cute and precious, I could not stop thinking about you.
Somewhere between precious and adorable, I decided I would walk in fire for you.
Somewhere between adorable and gorgeous, nudity became our enemy.
Somewhere between gorgeous and beautiful, I became static.
Somewhere between beautiful and devastating, I lost you.
