SEED OF CHUCKY (2004) dir. Don Mancini

"Meet Mr. George P. Hanley - a man life treats without respect, gratitude, or courtesy. Waiters serve his soup cold. Elevator operators close doors in his face. Mechanics overcharge him for half-hearted labor. Novelty cake-bakers misspell his name. Clubs refuse him for membership on sight. Clerks roll their eyes at his questions. Shoeshine boys give him slapdash service at best. Therapists giggle at him. Pledge drive-workers turn down his donations. And mothers never bother to wait up for the daughters he dates. George is a creature of humble habits and tame dreams. He's an ordinary man, Mr. Hanley... but, at this moment, the accidental possessor of a very special gift: the kind of gift that measures men against their dreams, the kind of gift most of us might ask for first and possibly regret to the last... if we, like Mr. George P. Hanley, were about to plunge head-first and unaware into our own personal Twilight Zone." Every Twilight Zone Episode: S4EP12: I Dream of Genie

"If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them." THE CROW (1994) • dir. Alex Proyas
