just saw the absolutely brainworms take that “the Netflix corset ban isn’t real, so all those Horrible Unfeminist Corset Defenders [historical costumers] must be happy!!!!” 

as if the community at large didn’t respond to the rumor with “yeah no it’s bullshit because it’s fake history being used to justify torturing women on film sets, and now the networks want a pat on the back for Fixing a problem they invented in the first place”

thankfully it was just the tags on like two reblogs of an otherwise decent post, but. ye gods. talk about putting words in people’s mouths

Gillian Anderson

Introducing our next ‘The Dreamers’ cover star Gillian Anderson (@gilliana) 🌦️

“I’m encouraging women, anyone, to really investigate what it is they want from their lives and dive in headfirst and ask the difficult questions of themselves – ‘Am I happy?’, ‘What feels good?’, ‘Where does my power sit?’, ‘Where in me do I have the courage and self-belief to go after what I deserve?’ – but at the very least to dream.”

Through the 1990’s Gillian Anderson unknowingly inspired a generation to pursue STEM careers through the “Scully Effect.” A study found that women who watched The X-Files were 50% more likely to enter STEM fields. Now, at 55, Anderson embraces her influence. Speaking to HUNGER, she highlights the revolution in creativity and self-identity especially in women.

logan proposing and rory saying no is just crap writing 'cus it's so out of character and there isn't even a reason for wanting rory to be single at the end of the show? like why doesn't this mindset apply to the other female characters then? lane should've become a professional drummer and started recording music and stuff but instead they marry her to zach and make her pregnant with twins and then that's her whole life?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ and lorelai marrying christopher because luke "didn't want to marry her"?? also logan and rory wouldn't even have to actually get married for years and them being together would even have made rory's life better especially if you consider ayitl canon

...wait, people are genuinely upset that greta gerwig didnt get nominated for best director for the toy commercial movie when the movie got nominations for best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best original song, best production design, best costume design, best picture, and best adapted screenplay for which greta gerwig was nominated?

[kneworder]

angry at the oscars barbie nominations but in an annoyinger way (i think nominating ryan reynolds makes sense but the best picture and best supporting actress noms are ridiculous)

Le Soldatesse (1965)

I have now watched all the Best Picture Nominees. Mostly. So now I can write all of my Opinions and be a Hater and a Lover.

I just finished Past Lives and it was GORGEOUS and wistful and the end made me legitimately cry. I shall have to wait for the recency bias to fade but I think it’s tied with Anatomy of a Fall for my fave in the category

Should I rank? am i stoned enough that I want to do it?

And my hot take is that Poor Things is terrible and I am glad it’s competing with a stacked season bc I don’t wanna award it anything. Except maybe costuming

[mistninja]

I didnt even like barbie i just think its a very funny situation. Like oh no the movie that said it was about feminism but ended up being all about mens "oppression" is getting awards for the men but not the women involved in it oh no who would have thought
