"Seventeen million people. This is got to be the fifth biggest economy in the world and nobody knows each other. I read about this guy who gets on the MTA here, dies. Six hours he’s riding the subway before anybody notices his corpse doing laps around L.A., people on and off sitting next to him. Nobody notices.”

Collateral (2004)

Directed by Michael Mann

Cinematography by Dion Beebe, Paul Cameron

#collateral #this remains the only michael mann movie i actively like #thief is good too but i don't have strong feelings about it #it's definitely his best use of digital photography #it has a bourne-ish post-9/11 surveillance state vibe

#twin peaks #dale cooper x audrey horne #i could never figure out how old she was supposed to be #pretty sure at the beginning she's in high school? #but the show mostly acts like she's an adult and the actor is older

How fortunate we were who still had hope I did not then realise; I could not know how soon the time would come when we should have no more hope, and yet be unable to die.

#testament of youth #the sets and costumes are so well coordinated *heart eyes*

Nothing but the rain, sir.

#battlestar galactica #kara thrace #so rude that they stuck her in a bunch of boring straight relationships

“I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one. I am the wife and the virgin. I am the barren one and many are my daughters. I am the silence that you can not understand. I am the utterance of my name.”

I’m lost. I can’t tell whether or not I’m going crazy.

X-Files Meme: [2/8] Episodes → Never Again (4x13) Not everything is about you, Mulder. This is my life.

#the x files #never again #can't say i was a fan of the scully cancer plotline #really wish they delved more into her catholicism

I wouldn’t necessarily believe everything Briony tells you. She’s rather fanciful.

Favorite X-Files episodes ☰ Bad Blood  “First of all, if the family of Ronnie Strickland does indeed decide to sue the FBI for I think the figure is $446 million dollars, then you and I both will most certainly be co-defendants. And second of all… I don’t even have a second of all, Mulder. $446 million dollars. I’m in this as deep as you are and I’m not even the one that overreacted. I didn’t do the… with the thing!”

#the x files #bad blood #yikes at how few specific episodes i can remember

Fear lulls our minds to sleep.
