Missing pages

I’m like a book you might buy in a sale you get it home and there are bits missing where the vital dialogue needs to be or the manual for some new toy all the translations are there: Japanese, German, Czech and all you can get is some poor translation second or third hand that’s what keeps me from you this manual is incomplete my understanding is that you feel this as wilful on my part some innate badness or failure to be I wish it was that easy these can be corrected patched in, up or over instead my puzzle grows

We must all of us on this train of life remain in our allotted station. We must each of us occupy our preordained particular position. Would you wear a shoe on your head? Of course you wouldn't wear a shoe on your head. A shoe doesn't belong on your head. A shoe belongs on your foot. A hat belongs on your head. I am a hat. You are a shoe. I belong on the head. You belong on the foot. Yes? So it is." - Minister Mason (Tilda Swinton), SNOWPIERCER SCENE BEN Koba kills, DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Mike Shiner's first scene, BIRDMAN Cooper takes off, INTERSTELLAR Martin Luther King consoles Cager Lee, SELMA Boy sings to Cheryl, WILD COREY The final shot, THE IMMIGRANT Bloody Sunday, SELMA The ending, BOYHOOD The prison escape, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL The final performance, WHIPLASH OVERRATED BEN Captain America: The Winter Soldier Foxcatcher Guardians of the Galaxy John Wick COREY Big Eyes Birdman Into the Woods The Theory of Everything Unbroken UNDERRATED BEN The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Magic in the Moonlight Men, Women & Children A Million Ways to Die in the West Noah COREY Calvary Godzilla The Immigrant Night Moves Wild MOVIES THAT NEED A SECOND LOOK BEN Foxcatcher Gone Girl Godzilla Listen Up Philip Under the Skin COREY The Drop Interstellar Magic in the Moonlight A Most Violent Year Nymphomaniac MUSIC BEN Hans Zimmer, INTERSTELLAR Alexandre Desplat, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, GONE GIRL Soundtrack, INHERENT VICE Antonio Sanchez, BIRDMAN COREY Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, GONE GIRL Alexandre Desplat, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL Alexandre Desplat, THE IMITATION GAME Hans Zimmer, INTERSTELLAR Mica Levi, UNDER THE SKIN
