“The trouble with the ‘great political writers’ and headliners is that they confuse women with feminists, simply ‘on account of sex’—but the political fact is that the women have never yet voted the way feminist leaders told them or wanted them to vote. That is why they keep up the feminist lobby—to get legislation not obtainable by votes of women.”

Found in “Reed, Robertson, and Women Win: Feminist Organizations Again Beaten at Polls” from The Woman Patriot, August 15, 1922.

I love Moriarty's version of Sherlock so much

So the king of Bohemia comes to visit him regarding a woman he had a past fling with having some kind of blackmail material. And this is our guy's reaction:

Bro is straight up laughing and pointing. I CAN'T

Ah. It seems that the advent of Sherliam was predicted as far back as 1945. Go figure. (Scene from "The Woman in Green." Starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock and Henry Daniell as Moriarty.)

One thing I always think about when I watch Billy Elliot since my whole obsession with The Patriot started is how differently these two movies released in 2000 depict the dead moms.

Not only does no one ever say Elizabeth Martin's name in The Patriot, we only know what it is because of a scene in the extended cut where Benjamin Martin visits her grave and we see it on the stone. When people talk about her, it is always in terms of showing us who her stand-in is rather than showing why she was important to her loved ones. For example, when Gabriel tells Martin to "stay the course," Martin points out that Gabriel's mother used to say that. Aunt Charlotte has to remind Martin that she's "not [her] sister," and he assures her that he knows that, but I'm not sure anyone really believes her. The daughter who becomes mute after her mother's death begins talking almost as soon as she comes to be under her aunt's care. Hmmmm. . . .

Meanwhile, the casting director for Billy Elliot had to find a whole live woman to feature in family pictures and even a flashback because Billy's mam is a person, not a symbol. She is fleshed out in the most literal possible sense! Billy pays multiple visits to her grave, imagines the aforementioned flashback, and brings his dance instructor a letter his mam wrote for him that he has also memorized. Not only Billy but every person in his household has vivid memories of his mother. His grandmother tells him is mother's favorite dancer was Fred Astair. Her husband sobs openly while burning pieces of her piano to keep the rest of the family warm. A later scene lingers on a picture of just the two of them while he takes her jewelry to pawn so he can take Billy to his audition in London. Even Tony tells Billy their mam would have let him pursue ballet school.

Mostly importantly, Billy's mam is irreplaceable. It would have been so easy for Daldry to make Mrs. Wilkinson a stand-in for her (she's even played by Julie Walters, whom you all know as Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter movies). That does not happen because as much as Billy Elliot does focus on masculinities, it also does its due diligence in showing that not all women are the same.
