We need an equivalent of legally blonde for every movie genre. Give us gritty police dramas with a new generations of Elle woods learning to batter drug lords with phone books. A murder mystery but the detective is an unsuspecting sorority girl who loves pink and think poroit is a kind of shampoo but turns out to be frighteningly adept at solving clues. Just an army of gorgeous women in cute little outfits proving to the world why barbie is an expert in every profession
Ok but Britta Perry is such an icon because when the show starts you think that she and Jeff are going to be the normal ones in the group, but then she frames a man for frog related crimes and falls in love with the human embodiment of subway
Why do Taylor Swift music videos just hit different? Like sometimes she’s a silent movie damsel, a goddamn princess or a physical manifestation of toxic relationships that lives in a fairytale mansion, but it’s all just ✨vibes✨

Let your characters be ugly. Let them get hurt. Let them be scarred, and watch them get up anyway.
This is so deep help-
I’m never going to be over how Midnight Mass literally portrayed the death of an entire community that was already slowly dying, and the moment we finally felt relief and knew it was all over, was when the disabled girl couldn’t feel her legs anymore
I’m calling it now Poseidon is gonna be fucking Ryan Reynalds
Edit: well this aged like milk
Ok I’m scared. My follower count keeps going up. Every time I log onto my account, another hundred followers. Soon it will be up to 2000. Who are you people? Are you bots? Demons sent to torment me with your presence without ever liking my posts?? I thought I had all the trappings of fame but my audience turned out to be a stadium full of empty seats.
