Must have the jacket. And the scarf.
So, the woman who stole the cookies doesn’t get hard time? I’m gonna have to call BULLSHIT on that one.
Interesting movie. Something disturbs me though. 1969 was, according to The Omnivore’s Dilemma, before the whole corn invasion, which I understood to be the reason a lot of our food was effed. Yet, Dustin Hoffman is talking about grass fed beef and farm eggs and organic and shiz. Do you understand what I’m getting at? Did Hannah and Rainman just teach me that the whole organic movement is total bullshit? I mean, Hoffman is a freaking perfect precious picky New Yorker who would fit into the modern-day City seamlessly. Do all of those beliefs happen in a vacuum? I thought the agricultural events of the past 4 decades would have been the thing to influence those opinions, but apparently identical beliefs to those that are held today were available in 1969. I guess it’s all just a bunch of hippie bullshit.
Gary never goes to bed without a glass of water on the ground in case his toes get too dry in the middle of the night.
It’s not just that it’s annoying that the train slows down so much when it goes through the Franklin station: WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT DIDN’T?
Mean Girls. When the girl talks about her “wide-set vagina.” I laughed through the entire next scene. It actually hurt. Oh my Jesus, that was funny. I think that’s what Tina Fey does best- those moments of humans clearly and forcefully, with false notions of their own bravery, declaring philosophies or wants to the world. People standing up for themselves. It’s like they’re trying to do cartwheels on sand. Then, they get pounded. It’s ultimately a little cynical, but it’s beautiful.
My buddy Joe and TWOP colleague LTG power rank the gays of 1 Girl, 5 Gays. It’s pretty awesome, although I personally would have ranked Dean higher. That probably says more about me than the actual list because when I think about Dean I just think of a desperate need for him to laugh at my jokes or like my t-shirt. Yeah, that’s definitely more about me.
Also, no Jonathan S. love. Wha?
When Britney has her breakdown in the bathroom in Crossroads because her mamma, Kim Cattrall, doesn’t love her. Britney’s not a really comfortable actress, but that moment was straight up pretty. Britney is the prettiest crier since Demi Moore in Ghost and she even lets her face screw up, which was still pretty.
