People over 50 years of age show a departure from the preference for hostile-aggressive movie quotes. It is not that people over 50 are less angry, it is that they choose sarcasm and bitchiness over physical or verbal violence. Everyone, Asians, Latinos, Whites, African-Americans etc. Some quotes, of course, are just irresistibly cool, especially those from the 007 series. Bond, James Bond and Shaken, not stirred possess a sang froid that seems magnetic.
Humans fantasize about being self-possessed in the most dangerous or consequential situations.
Recalling James Bond s words may give us the spine we need, commented Fischoff. 2 Frankly, my dear, I don t give a damn. 3 Show me the money. 7 Hasta la vista, baby. We ain t go no badges.
