I get the feeling that Hattie McDaniel was all "Okay, this is the best part a black woman can get? Then I will fucking OWN THIS." Major love to her.

Margaret Mitchell seriously deserves an award for Most Underrated Historical Figure Who Did Demonstrable Damage to US History and Culture.

Olivia de Havilland will come out and celebrate at the 100th. Not before.

Just one example: the n-word is used many times in the book, but not once in the movie. The African American cast members got together and asked Selnick to leave that world out of the screenplay.

I'm gay, and if I want to hold movies to a similar standard I've got two problems: Movies made before say 1970 elide the very idea that I exist, which is problematic, and movies made from 1970 to 2005 cast me mainly as murderers and/or gross and/or a laughingstock. Even now things aren't great, but that's another…

"Yeah, the book makes clear that Scarlett's husband Frank was literally riding with the KKK to "clean out" that shanty town. "

Well, where am I supposed to wear my new dress now?

this super hard. i believed neville's over hers. we needed more snippets of both of them. tho i feel like neville's badassery was always there, hinted at, and i can actually believe that the insanity that happened in book 7 would cause his bravery to explode and really solidify.

I figured she put Ron and Hermione together because she hated chemistry.

I moved back home to suburban Phoenix...zero customers (or coworkers) who knew how to correctly pronounce difficult words like "jalapeño,"

He proudly returned to his fellow Lords of the Flies and proclaimed, "Chuck E.'s a girl! And she's got tits like THIS!" making the (in)appropriate gesture most commonly associated with such a statement.

Men and women are equal, right? So why do I have to pay for half the rent, do 100% of the housecleaning, 100% of the shopping, spent the time needed out of my 40 work week to pick up said groceries, bathroom tissue, etc. The cook it all up and get yelled at because the way I clean the dishes uses too much water. His…

A friend of mine (while pregnant with twins) witnessed her husband turn from a fully functional smart and articulate man in to a toddler seemingly overnight. Things he used to do with ease were suddenly difficult. I witnessed it at a party they hosted. He called out to his wife asking her what setting the oven…

My awesome ex could not handle my pregnant emotions, and decided getting in my face and calling me a cunt was the slickest way to settle things. Then, after the baby arrived, he enrolled in college and I was instructed never to bother him, since he was taking a full load of courses. He would join us for dinner- that…

Nothing can make you irritable quite like being two kids into a marriage and realizing your partner is a clueless idiot who expects you to be flawless for him all the time and won't pull his weight in taking care of the family.

I think it;s just harder bc the things that people bond over so intensely become less common. I really do think the bad decision making and instability of the 20s really are what cause so many close friendships. What else will come out of having seen someone naked-barfing into a toilet while crying bc they chipped…

I would like to add the "Disappearing Friend", mainly because I have a lot of these. A LOT. We'll hang out frequently, it'll be great, these periods can last anywhere from weeks to years...and suddenly they just disappear. We hang out less and less or they cancel plans a lot until I stop trying to make them or they…

What do you do when you have friends you love and have so much fun when you are together, but they never call you to hang out? I'm always the initiator and I don't know if I should be hurt by that. I'm supportive and interested in their lives and we all have fun together, so I don't think it is me. Does this kind…

How about the "We used to get high together in college and now that we are adults (and less high) I've discovered you are kind of an asshole and I don't much like you as a person" friendship? I've got one of those.

Proud to say I have whittled out all of the mediocre-t0-shitty "friends" over the last 2 years. I also dumped shitty abusive relatives. Very very very hard work. Painful, seriously, but so worth it. My self-esteem, self-awareness, and boundaries are at an all time high and I have almost no fear of anything.
