Very 80s

Many years ago, I listened to a night radio show and forgot what the interviewed person did: he was about 30 years old, had a successful career, and had a good wife at home. In addition to his career, he also talked about poetry, poetry, and movies. . Speaking of movies, he said that after going through all the life, he lost interest in fancy action movies, hypocritical romantic movies, suspenseful horror, and niche literature and art when watching movies, and "only watched comedies." After many years, that night interview has long been forgotten, but this sentence has never been forgotten. Indeed, comedy is the tolerance and relief after the great tragedy.

There is also music in movies, very very 80s. There is a sense of intimacy. It's like listening to Wang Jie's song. Heart-warming.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles quotes

  • Neal: You're no saint. You got a free cab, you got a free room, and someone who'll listen to your boring stories. I mean, didn't you notice on the plane when you started talking, eventually I started reading the vomit bag? Didn't that give you some sort of clue, like, hey, maybe this guy's not enjoying it? You know, everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting. You're a miracle! Your stories have none of that. They're not even amusing *accidentally*! "Honey, I'd like you to meet Del Griffith, he's got some amusing anecodotes for you. Oh, and here's a gun so you can blow your brains out. You'll thank me for it." I could tolerate any insurance seminar. For days, I could sit there and listen to them go on and on with a big smile on my face. They'd say, "How can you stand it?" I'd say, "'Cause I've been with Del Griffith. I can take anything." You know what they'd say? They'd say, "I know what you mean. The shower curtain ring guy. Whoa." It's like going on a date with a Chatty Cathy doll. I expect you have a little string on your chest, you know, that I pull out and have to snap back. Except I wouldn't pull it out and snap it back, you would. Agh! Agh! Agh! Agh! And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!

    Del: One.
