"Is that a Big Kahuna Burger?"

Burning questions from classic 80s films.

Absolutely, yes.

In the semi-finals!

proposing a new genre of fiction called an anti-romance where u r presented w a couple at the start & the story is about their emotional journey towards a catastrophic break up

will they won't they (end this farce). there's only one bed (but for some reason they don't really want to share it). out of context eavesdropping (that paints the relationship in a better light than it deserves). chasing after them to stop them getting on that plane (and stopping them from finally being free)

nobody understands my vision i don't mean any old story where a relationship fails and it's tragic or w/e i mean a story where the intention is for the audience to root for it failing the same way u root for it succeeding in a romance. & when the relationship finally implodes at the climax of the story it's all very cathartic & everybody cheers.

like have u never wanted a fictional couple to break up so badly it hurt?

maybe this is too woke but i really hate the trope of naked older women = scary or vomit inducing or gross or whatever. like you even see it used in horror on occasion like oooooo so scary theres a woman with saggy boobs and wrinkles. There is something to be said for unconsensual veiwing of nudity. sure. it’s uncomfortable and violating for someone to be nude in front of you that you don’t want to see. but rarely that’s seen as the issue and instead the real ‘horror’ or gross out joke is the very idea of a woman who does not have a body that is sexually desirable to men. The very idea of an older woman’s body is treated like it’s something that we should all know is gross, sick and wrong. It’s just something that really bothers me

You're very right about people portraying older womens' bodies as horrifying because they're not normatively sexually appealing, but I will say that the idea of non-consensual nudity is fraught. Like obviously there are times where we don't want to see people naked or don't feel comfortable with it, but the human body is not sexual. If you see a person naked on the street, that's their business if that makes sense. You can decide in your own space how comfortable you are with nudity obviously, including being entirely uncomfortable with it, but that's what makes "Nude Scary Person" scary, the Invasion of Space. The way it impinges upon your comfort and violates your rules.

I choose to believe that they are just recomending iconic Michael Jackson albums.
