I do wish we could chat longer, but… I’m having an old friend for dinner. Bye.

Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) in the cinematic masterpiece Silence of the Lambs (1991), one of only three films to win the highly-prized quintet of Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Original/Adapted Screenplay. The psychological thriller told of an FBI agent who must work with a manipulative killer to catch another criminal. It was directed by Jonathan Demme, who sadly passed away earlier this week at the age of 73.

Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough

Taken from the song Losing My Religion by REM, from their multi-award winning album Out of Time (1991). Among their other songs I’m a big fan of is Everybody Hurts.

Hasta la vista, baby

The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991). Released seven years after the highly-acclaimed original, it’s long been considered one of cinema’s greatest sequels.

Line(s) of the Day #One

U2 One

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it’s all I got
We’re one
But we’re not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

Taken from the song One by the Irish rock band U2, from their seventh studio album Achtung Baby (1991). Widely considered one of the best songs ever written, it showcases the songwriting ability of their lead singer Bono, who has demonstrated it in other songs such as If God would send his Angels and Beautiful Day.
