god… the romance of sitting in a room with the person you love, each of you doing your own thing like reading a book or playing a game…. silent but full of love and warmth

[ridleydaisy]

I want you to remember something that’s very important. You won, not by playing the game Harlan’s way, but yours. You’re a good person.

I don’t know what we did to deserve Mr. Rogers but I’m so glad we had him.

Let me tell you a fucking thing about costume design. That’s some in depth, difficult shit to learn. And the fact that this goddess can ramble this shit off the cuff means she knows her shit. ELLE WOODS IS A GODAMNED GENIUS AND IT’s NOT A STRETCH TO BELIEVE SHE GOT INTO HARVARD LAW MMMK?

[katecod]

FUCK YEAH ELLE WOODS OR DIE

[alimarko]

this movie is literally about an attractive woman who loves to party having to prove over and over again that she’s also intelligent and hard-working to those who judge her based on her looks (who also empowers and fights for other women, and fosters unlikely friendships instead of engaging in girl hate) and if you don’t think that’s some great feminist shit then I don’t know what your problem is

Let’s not forget that in the end when the guy wants her again, she turns him down because she knows she deserves better.

The movie’s director made fun of Reese Witherspoon for taking the part too seriously. He was trying to make a silly movie where you laughed at the sorority girl

Reese’s co-stars have said her hard work inspired them to play their parts with more focus too. This is one instance where a lead actor actually should get credit for the movie being as iconic as it is. If everyone had followed the director’s vision this would have been another forgettable college comedy

An autistic man or a guy with adhd infodumping is not the same as mansplaining or (neurotypical) men always needing to be right so please don’t get mad at us when we can’t shut up about the thing thank you for coming to my ted talk

[thegardenandthegrave]

Thank you for explaining this and reminding me to be kinder. I forget sometimes that I need to give people the benefit of the doubt.

[thedupshadove]

I could be off-base here but I feel like a good way to tell the difference might be seeing how they react when their interlocutor displays that they also have knowledge of The Thing?

A genuine mansplaining dude will get annoyed or dismissive or try to one-up your knowledge to keep themself feeling superior, whereas I suspect an infodumper will be like "Someone else likes/knows about Thing! Awesome! Let me ask them what they think and get this conversation really going!"

[captainlordauditor]

that is an EXCELLENT way to judge!

This and Studio Ghibli sending a katana with a note that said “no cuts” to Weinstein when he was handling the distribution of Princess Mononoke are now my two favorite movie anecdotes
