Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ Matilda (1996)
Harry Wormwood had unintentionally given his daughter the first practical advice she could use. He had meant to say, “When a child is bad.” Instead he said, “When a person is bad”, and thereby introduced a revolutionary idea: that children could punish their parents. Only when they deserved it, of course.
Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ Three Men and a Little Lady (1994)
Peter: Yes I do. I love you. I love the way you walk, I love the way you laugh, I love the way when you get nervous you bite your bottom lip just like you’re doing now, I love the way you love Mary…. I even love her liver mousse. I love you and if there were no Mary, if there was nothing else I would still love you. And I want to make Mary all over again with you.
Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ Eclipse (2010)
Jacob: You wouldn’t have to change for me Bella. I’m in love with you, and I want you to pick me instead of him.
Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ Juno (2007)
I’m already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into?
Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ A Cinderella Story (2004)
No, you listen. You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were. I never pretended to be somebody else. It’s been me all along. And it was me who was hurt in front of everybody. Look, I didn’t come here to yell at you, okay? I came to tell you that I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are. I was, but I’m not anymore. And the thing is, I really don’t care what people think about me… because I believe in myself. And I know that things are gonna be okay. But even though I have no family, and no job, and no money for college… it’s you that I feel sorry for. I know that guy that sent those emails is somewhere inside of you, but I can’t wait for him… because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing.
Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ The Santa Clause (1994)
The Santa Clause: In putting on this suit and entering the sleigh, the wearer waives any and all rights to any previous identity, real or implied, and fully accepts the duties and responsibilities of Santa Claus, in perpetuity until such time that the wearer becomes unable to do so, by either accident or design.
Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ Iron Man (2008)
If I were Iron Man, I’d have this girlfriend who knew my true identity. She’d be a wreck. She’d always be worrying I was going to die, yet so proud of the man I’ve become. She’d be wildly conflicted, which would only make her more crazy about me…
Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ Three Men and a Baby (1987)
Michael: I’m an architect for Christ sake, I build 50 story skyscrapers, I assemble cities of the future, I can certainly put together a goddam diaper.
Velvet’s Favorite Movies ϟ The Ugly Truth (2009)
So there you have it. Never assume a girl is easy or assume she’s a prude. There are many layers in between, and it’s your job, gentlemen, to peel back those layers and figure out exactly what type of woman you’re dealing with.
