Movie Quote of the Month

April-May-June 2020:

"...In the first weekend of May, with much of the world in shackles, the twelfth most popular film on iTunes, just below Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, was Contagion. Huh? Why do we crave fables of sickness when so many of us are sick, or quailing at the prospect of falling sick,or devising ingenious ways to remain non-sick? Can't we spend our days safely slumped on the couch, watching "Leslie Nielsen's Greatest Naked Gun Lines" on YouTube, like responsible grown-ups?"
