Song of the Day - Everyone Says I Love You - A Pathetic Man Can Break Your Heart

By and large, musicals are wonderful, I've loved them since I was a child. They elicit every human emotion there is and Woody Allen's "Everyone Says I Love You" is no exception. Admittedly, the story doesn't add up to much, but each musical number is delightful.

Some are lovely because they're so filled with happiness. Others, because they are mournful.

Every time I watch this film, this particular song tears me up. I can't explain why I feel for this sad and pathetic man, but I do. Most likely because he seems so useless.

Quote of the Day: Trainspotting - Danny Boyle (1996) Hell, This Movie is Chock-Full of Quotes.

"Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

So many backdrops and intricacies and poetry and quotes. I swear to God, this movie, and the book, will be somewhere in my head when I die.

And that makes this movie precious.
