Alice in Wonderland for me. that and Wizard of Oz (and Return to Oz) are the ones I've loved longest. I was a scrappy kid but I wasn't a tomboy, and I just loved seeing girls go on adventures without having to "man up" ie be tomboys

You and I have the same brain. Clue, jaws and Jurassic park were favourites for me too… I used to rent the same copy of Clue from the video store over and over. I don't think it gets enough credit for being a spot on satire of Agatha Christie style murder mysteries

"That's so funny, the last time I heard that I laughed so hard I fell off my dinosaur."

thanks to Drop Dead Gorgeous and Kiki's pissy hissed delivery, I get a lot of mileage out of "This is NAZI GERMANY!" whenever I feel suffocated by the decisions of idiots/crazy people

Their parents are in the middle of getting a divorce, or they've just started the proceedings. the lawyer mentions it in the scene when he goes to the mine and they find the mosquito in the amber.

Jurassic Park looks great in 3D

In an ideal world no one would talk before 10am. People would just hug, because waking up is really hard- Zooey Deschanel, grown woman

I never got beyond that overhead map level that starts the game.

War of the Worlds is awesome until Tim Robbins shows up

"whores don't get second chances" god that ending fucked boiled my blood. The all-in-his-head stuff wasn't as interesting as I think the film makers thought it was but I could have let slide… however the creepy-child trope and the slut shaming just did me in. Go fuck yourself, Identity.

I also love it for lines like this…

Murphy kills herself in Girl Interrupted.

Anne Frank was German

'fucked up' is a bit harsh. photos of movie stars from that era aren't dissimilar to photos of our grandparents, having been taken before plastic surgery and photoshop made movie star portraits the other worldly things that they are now.

Judy Garland was so pretty until they gave her drag queen eyebrows

I won't ever need to like George Takei's page since it seems everything he posts gets shared on my newsfeed by everyone else

Tobey Maguire is in no way a lady killer but fame and stacks of cash are like a dog whistle to the right kind of gal

this is why I don't like being asked what I do for a living. I'll tell people but then I'll immediately swing it back to them or to something else to avoid any follow up conversation because I work in a corporate entity and more often than not, when I talk about my job, I'm grasping at straws to make it sound positive

it's not
