Thanks Joe. Never realized that Reality Bites “borrowed” that quote.
lol. number 7 was originally made by john f. kennedy. not whoever wrote the movie. fail.
hey euniqe, do i see you post anything? did you take the time and make the effort? no, you didn’t, so until you have and you’re positive that every single bit of is is factual and correct, i suggest you go take a flying f**k at a rolling donut and stop being a trolling retard, because it is actually you that fails, mostly at life

NOT SURE IF THE FOLLOWING COMMENT WAS ACCEPTED BY YOUR SYSTEM:
Great article!
We’ve heard of the 100 great books recommended by the University of Chicago.
We’ ve heard from philosophy departments in terms of the 100 great philosophical theses.
Now we have the wisdom of the ages as shared in the movies.
Actually, the movies are probably the most powerful teaching tool ever devised.
All the senses are employed, and to get a concept from idea to the silver screen requires lots of applied genius.
So, thank you for this article.
I will print it out and paste it where it will do the most good.
