me on a daily basis
Making a poster with this quote for my room, featuring the loverly Ben Whishaw.
“I’m not a deranged, paranoid millionaire. Goddammit, I’m a billionaire.” -Howard Hughes

“When you work with the sort of really strong women that I work with, the idea that anyone would want to make decisions for them is hard to wrap your head around.”-Seth Meyers
“I was raised by my mom, I have a little sister, and I’m constantly annoyed [by] how terribly written most females are in most everything — and especially in comedy. Their anatomy seems to be the only defining aspect of their character, and I just find that untruthful and it straight-up offends me. A lot of the strongest people I know are chicks. And as a viewer, I get a kick out of watching real characters. So I take it upon myself to clean that shit up and write actual women. And I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there’s nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.”-Jay Baruchel
“Men ruled the roost and women played a subservient role [in the 1960s]. Working wives were a rarity, because their place was in the home, bringing up the kids. The women who did work were treated as second class citizens, because it was a male-dominated society. That was a fact of life then. But it wouldn’t be tolerated today, and that’s quite right in my book … People look back on those days through a thick veil of nostalgia, but life was hard if you were anything other than a rich, powerful, white male.”-Jon Hamm
“If I had a bucket list, I’d say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be No. 1.”-Matt Damon
(On Blue Valentine’s rating) “The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario, which is both complicit and complex. It’s misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman’s sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film.”

tyra just being tyra
Recently I have seen
Tiny Furniture and Smashed, two wonderful movies that I’d heard were good but I hadn’t gotten around to watching them until just now. Tiny Furniture is an adorably warm precursor to Girls but stands alone just fine too. Lena’s family is so good and natural, especially her mum (who sadly appeared in Girls for such a short, one-time-only scene!) but I do hope that someday Grace, Lena’s sister, is on Girls because she’s great too.
Smashed was a charming surprise. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who I hated with a fiery passion in Scott Pilgrim, is stunning in this. I can’t believe it hasn’t garnered more attention. Academy Award for that girl, seriously. She owns the whole movie. Great casting all round, right down to Ron Swanson as her teacher buddy/supporter at AA.
