#i want to rewatch this movie again!!!

There was a beautiful era in the 90s/early 00s of fun, female lead teen movies that just hit different, were like this golden age of girls just being girls and celebrating that feeling, and no matter how Hollywood tries they will never replicate it.

I'm talking "She's the Man," "Bend it Like Beckham" "Princess Dairies" "St. Trinian's" "What a Girl Wants" "Clueless" "Uptown Girls" "John Tucker Must Die" "DEBS".....obviously there's probably a few I missed but you get the idea. Maybe the stakes weren't as high as saving the entire world, but they were important to the characters and had friendships and silliness and the goal was almost never to get the guy and you just don't get to see that anymore. Also almost all of them had banging soundtracks.

I think Mike and Vanessa should talk about their family at some point and Mike brings up Abby and Vanessa's like "oh yeah I have a little sibling too, his name's Gregory. We aren't blood, but we've been through hell together so we might as well be!"

God... I have so many Thoughts about Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. The original comics/movie had a message of "The power of love IS powerful, but isn't enough to fix things on its own. You have to be willing to change yourself first, and it's never too late to make that change."

And like that's a good message! The first 3/4ths of the series kinda fumble that message, and then it only shows up at the end, but that really helps define the emphasis on that last part.

The original series has also aged like fucking MILK. Bryan Lee O'Malley has been VERY open about the fact that it hasn't aged well, and that even when it was being released he could have handled parts of it a lot better.

And so when he got the chance to make a 'faithful adaption' of his comic into an animated series, a full decade and a half later, what did he do? He took the message to heart and changed the series to be so steeped in that message that it permeated every single moment of it, because even if the series was complete, it still wasn't too late to change it and convey that message better.

By the way, I don’t know if y’all are aware or not but YouTube sometimes puts up movies for free. Not the bootleg pirated stuff, but full good quality films.

Go under “Movies and TV” and there’s an entire section for free movies. You have to watch ads, but STILL

There’s a lot on there that you’ve probably never heard of, but they also have some good shit. It rotates out, but currently the entire Hunger Games series and the Spy Kids movies are free, as well as Point Break, Donnie Darko, and Now You See Me. They even have Disney movies sometimes, like Hunchback of Notre Dame and the live action Beauty and the Beast. Or B movies like Dinoshark

Just a cool thing overall

I want to just rewatch this movie over and over again, but the amount of fanfiction between my ship is so minimal that it's putting me off from rewatching it

thinking about that ocean vuong quote ‘Because that’s what mothers do. They wait. They stand still until their children belong to someone else’ and the rest of the paragraph is little dog telling his mother that he hates her and that she is a monster only to take it back when she isnt there anymore, that he didnt mean it. mothers, especially immigrant mothers, belong to their children first. they dedicate their whole lives to them, quashing their own potential and personhood at times to do so.

and i was just thinking about how the ending of everything everywhere all at once was the complete opposite of that. how at first when joy asks evelyn to let her go, she does what she wants - she lets her go. ‘because that’s what mothers do’ and it feels like she’s doing the right thing, by letting her daughter go to get rid of the pain that she’s feeling. but it is an passive act of love - one that immigrant mothers are too familiar with. to raise and love your children through sacrifice (so much sacrifice) while neglecting what they themselves want.

joy tells evelyn to let go, not because she actually wanted her to let go but because it was a challenge, almost a test, for her mother. like when little dog tells his mother that he hates her and that she is a monster, they both dont mean it. its a test. they want to see to what extent their mothers can love them. would you love me even if you thought i hated you? if i called you a monster? would you love me if i asked you to let me go? even if i told you that being with you hurts us both? and joy gets her answer. evelyn refuses to let her go because she loves her. without a doubt.

she holds onto joy and doesn’t let go. she tells her that she ‘will always always want to be here with’ her. even when there are other universes where she doesnt make all those sacrifices and is more successful - she chooses joy (metaphorically and literally). and its just. i keep thinking about that other tumblr post where they talk about how evelyn wanted to feel that she was worth loving and not letting go of with her dad. and she does that with joy!! she doesn’t let her go because she loves her. evelyn in the movie shatters the mother’s instinct of ‘standing still until their children belong to someone else’. she is no longer a bystander in her own daughter’s life but someone who actively chooses to be with her. love doesn’t just sit there, it is made!! and i just love it so much.
