Inspiration at the Movies: Jeeves & Wooster – Kidnapped

December 30, 2011 by Deb 1 Comment

“Yeah!!!” “What are you cheering about, Barmy?” “I finished MILES ahead of you fellows!” – Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps (Jeeves & Wooster: Kidnapped, 1990) The band members at the Drones Club are practising… sort of together – they’re all playing different parts of the song, and the cacaphony is eardrum-splitting.

Inspiration at the Movies: The Sound of Music

Inspiration at the Movies: Ratatouille

June 18, 2010 by Deb Leave a Comment

“Food will come, Remy. Food always comes to those who love to cook.” – Gusteau (Ratatouille, 2007) There are several quotations that I love in this movie, this is only one of them. Remy’s stomach is growling while Gusteau gives him this hope. It reminds me how a career in this industry alternates from true […]
