Aliens (1986) dir. James Cameron

My stupid ice maker started making this terrible knocking sound which is indicative that there is a blocker in there. I am not good technically so going to have to figure this one out or forego ice for some time.

I suppose it’s nice it’s like 55 degrees in Seattle.

american men are advocating for the repeal of the 19th amendment and yet women are STILL expected to give a fuck about how lonely they are. god, won't anyone please think of the poor men? won't you roll over like a dog and give up the rest of your rights for these poor, poor men?

I recently found out why my mom would never sleep around me when I was a kid. Like she’d never let herself take naps or sleep if I was awake, ever. Or if she did, she would lock her bedroom door. So when I was 6, I was asleep in my bed in the middle of the night when I hear a loud bang, like a pot being dropped and come out to the living room to see my mom standing by the window, with just a huge pile of spaghetti all over the sill, and a pot on the ground, and I ’m like “Are you gonna eat all that?” And ya’ll she get’s BIG MAD and yells at me and chases me to my room but then a little while later a bunch of cops show up and ask me a bunch of random ass questions about my art? Like this one cop lady keeps asking me to draw dragons for her?! And they seem mad as hell

I didn’t want to get arrested so I just never asked my mom for spaghettis after that. Lesson, learned. Don’t ask mom for spaghettis or she’ll call the damn police on you.

So I have this memory in my head, and it goes unquestioned until I say it outload for the first time a few months back and as soon as I say the words “When I was six, my mom called the cops on me for asking for spaghettis” My adult logic slams into place and is like “Hang on. Your mother definatly did not call the police on a 6 year old for asking for spaghetti.”

So obviously that’s not what really went down. I call up my mom to tell her how I remember it and on top of her figuring out why her kid has always been really cagey around spaghettis for the last 3 decades she tells me what really happened.

So on that night, a man tried to break into our house through the front window. It was just my mom, and her kids so she did what she felt she had too and shot him in the head. He’d been wearing a helmet, which landed on the floor under the window.

Now I just want ya’ll to put yourselves in my moms shoes for a minute here. This woman has just taken a human life. The trauma of that- the instant agony, the panic, the guilt, the fear- all of it hitting her at once, her only solace the knowledge that her children are safe. She protected her daughters. No matter the cost to her soul- her children are safe.

Then she looks up and sees her six year old staring at the inside of this mans head before saying “Are you gonna eat all that?”

I suspect they were trying to keep me busy and distracted while they cleaned up the corpse in the living room?!?

someone said tumblr nuked this post, but I could never be so lucky.

This is a perfect and extreme example of “kid logic” and how kids can blame themselves for things when really it’s a complex adult situation they can’t comprehend alone.

Bebe lil boi kept talking about dinosaurs so we are trying to watch Jurassic Park. Wish us luck!

Welp we got through the T. rex night rainy attack scene and he was not upset. He seemed more interested than scared and now he is fully invested in the electric fence climbing scene.

Now we are on to velociraptors and he laughed at Aussie’s “Clever girl” comment.

He commented that things were scary a few times (velociraptor kitchen scene) and I asked if he wanted me to turn off the tv. “No.”

I showed him he could cover his eyes but he batted my hands away.

No nightmares. No nothing. This child is truly my father’s grandson.

We put on his dinosaur socks today for fun.

Oh and ordered him a fancy Hape dollhouse. They’re on big sale!

Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in costume as Josephine and Daphne in the United Artists/Billy Wilder comedy Some Like It Hot, 1959. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2006, Curtis shared the following recollections about making the movie: EW: You weren’t happy with the dresses they initially gave you. TC: Oh, horrible! They put Debbie Reynolds’ clothes on me from a costume company. Her waist was up around my armpits! And they tried some Loretta Young outfits. But all her clothes wanted to do was spin around. So Billy said let Orry-Kelly make them for you. Boy, did we get excited! We had custom garter belts and brassieres, shoes that fit us properly, and nice cloche hats and those high collars that Olivia de Havilland used to wear in those early movies. Oh, did I love them! EW: You look like Eve Arden. TC: And a little bit of Grace Kelly and my mother. EW: How long did it take for you and Jack to become Josephine and Daphne? TC: About 30 minutes for makeup. Then we’d put on our hair and the costumes. We’d be ready in about an hour and 15 minutes. EW: That’s pretty fast. TC: Yeah, we wanted to get that behind us. Neither Jack nor I liked sitting in a makeup chair too long. So we’d lie back in those chairs and reach across and hold each other’s hand. We’d just hang on to each other.

I love this even more when I remember that the children of Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis get to look at this and say, “Hey, that’s my grandpa!”
