Like most people my age, the “twist” in the plot of The Crying Game was given away years and years ago but I still love this film. I think the relationship between Dil and Fergus/Jimmy is what makes me love this film. Maybe I’m a bit odd but I find Fergus’s/Jimmy’s stuggle with his feelings for Dil and his eventual acceptance sort of beautiful.
"Fuck these patriarchal beauty standards”. I hear you loud and clear, but women wearing pink and glitter and heels are not the enemy. And believe it or not, a whole bunch of women LIKE wearing that shit. We are not dumb, less feminist or watered down because of it. A long time ago when I was in undergrad I walked up to my feminist friends sitting in the grass and they started talking about my pink backless shirt and how their own clothes weren’t so “cutesy,” then it got awkward so I left and one of them said “see you later Blossom”. Do you remember that show? I loved it. But that’s not the point. The point is that my “friend” snuck a little snide comment in front of our all of our other friends simply because I like dressing up. And that was at least 8 years ago and I still remember everything about that day. Feminism is not about laughing at other girls and making them feel insecure. Especially over something as trivial as clothes. Remember you are pro-choice. Respect my choice to wear booty shorts."

I’m struggling through Pride and Prejudice at the moment. It feels profane to even write that let alone admit it out loud but I’ve got a strained relationship with the classics.
English was my favourite subject in high school and I was the stereotypical “girl with her nose stuck in a book” type of teenager. I spent most of my pocket money on books and I often read contemporary fiction or biographies. I was never interested in older novels.
I read Anna Karenina and found it torture. I read Wuthering Heights and loved it. I’m now reading Pride and Prejudice and while it has its moments, I find myself switching on and off. I think I will finish the book but I don’t think I’d read it again.

This clip blew my mind. People like Mark Ronson can be douches because they actually have the talent/creativity to back it up.
