“The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino." - Joe Fox”

“Hey, I got an idea, let鈥檚 go to the movies. I wanna go to the movies, I want to take you all to the movies. Let鈥檚 go and experience the art of the cinema. Let鈥檚 begin with the Scream Of Fear, and we are going to haunt us for the rest of our lives. And then let鈥檚 go see The Great Escape, and spend our summer jumping our bikes, just like Steve McQueen over barb wire. And then let鈥檚 catch The Seven Samurai for some reason on PBS, and we鈥檒l feel like we speak Japanese because we can read the subtitles and hear the language at the same time. And then let鈥檚 lose sleep the night before we see 2001: A Space Odyssey because we have this idea that it鈥檚 going to change forever the way we look at films. And then let鈥檚 go see it four times in one year. And let鈥檚 see Woodstock three times in one year and let鈥檚 see Taxi Driver twice in one week. And let鈥檚 see Close Encounters of the Third Kind just so we can freeze there in mid-popcorn. And when the kids are old enough, let鈥檚 sit them together on the sofa and screen City Lights and Stage Coach and The Best Years of Our Lives and On The Waterfront and Midnight Cowboy and Five Easy Pieces and The Last Picture Show and Raging Bull and Schindler鈥檚 List鈥� so that they can understand how the human condition can be captured by this amalgam of light and sound and literature we call the cinema.”

“Everyone thinks of romantic comedies as being these sappy, unrealistic stories where love conquers all and everyone ends up happy at the end. But that's not what her movies were at all. Like, in Sleepless in Seattle, you can't really get any sadder that Tom Hanks missing his dead wife. And in You've Got Mail, Meg Ryan misses her mom and loses her store. None of that gets resolved by the end. It's not like Tom's wife comes back to life, and Meg Ryan still loses the business her mom built.”

“The things that suck still suck, but they're allowed to be happy. And maybe it means so much more that they're happy, knowing that they still carry that sadness with them.”

“Kaitlin said, "I'm so sick of that 'Greatest Generation' crap. We finally drove a silver nail through the heart of Generation X, only to have this new monster rear its head. And I'm soooooo sick of Tom Hanks looking earnest all the time. They should make a Tom Hanks movie where Tom kills off Greatest Generation figureheads one by one."
Bree arrived on cue: "And then he starts killing other generations. He becomes this supernova of hate--all he wants to do is destroy."
"Hate clings to him like a rich, lathery shampoo. His lungs secrete it like anthrax foam."
Mom lost it. "Stop it! All of you! Tom Hanks is a fine actor who would never hurt anybody. At least not onscreen."
I thought, 'Hey, didn't Tom Hanks mow down half of Chicago in "Road to Perdition?"' Well, whatever.”
