Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

Rear Window (1954)

Jeff's Editor: It's about time you got married,
before you turn into a lonesome and bitter old man.
Jeff: Yeah, can't you just see me,
rushing home to a hot apartment to listen to
the automatic laundry and the electric dishwasher
and the garbage disposal and the nagging wife...
Jeff's Editor: Jeff, wives don't nag anymore. They discuss.
Jeff: Oh, is that so, is that so? Well maybe in the high-rent
district they discuss. In my neighborhood they still nag.

Jimmy Stewart died 15 years ago today. BAM out in Brooklyn is having a Grace Kelly retrospective this month and they're showing Rear Window the entire week of my birthday! I can't think of a finer way to celebrate than that.
