film teacher: you can write about anything for your final!

No matter how you feel about the joker movie as a movie, you still have to admit that the way it chaotically threw off disney’s plans for endgame this year is so fucking funny? Like? The mouse schemed to end their last avengers movie on a cliffhanger so that endgame could make bank. They poured $365 million into the budget, and an additional $200 million+ into marketing to secure its spot as the most talked about comic book film of the year. And the way they peddled that film to get maximum discourse was astounding? The gay joe russo character, everyone speculating over who was going to die, the “best picture” and “oscar nom for Robert Downey Jr” campaigns. The way a board room of writers fumed in a room for a year deciding strategically what the least offensive story was for maximum appeal, and it was pg so that every living human being on earth could go see it. they released endgame in the theatres TWICE.

A female with ADHD may be less hyperactive and less impulsive than her male counterpart. Instead she may present with more subtle symptoms such as being disorganized, scattered, forgetful, introverted, withdrawn and socially isolated. She may have great difficulty keeping her focus on tasks, becoming side-tracked and easily distracted by things around her or even by her own thoughts. It may take her a little longer to process information, so that she appears “slow” or “spacey” or “flighty”, when in fact she may be highly intelligent. She may have a low tolerance for stress, feel extremely sensitive to criticism, and work hard to conform to adult expectations in hopes of gaining approval from others. She may have a hard time saying “no” to others, over committing to responsibilities that she cannot fulfill. It may be difficult for her to make firm decisions on even simple tasks, so that she seems wishy-washy and indecisive. Problem solving situations can become overwhelming and she may often find herself stuck, experiencing a sense of paralysis, unable to move forward at all. Managing her time can be quite a challenge, as well, and “running late” may be her norm. She may also be hypersensitive to her environment – the noise, the sights, even touch – and quickly become overloaded, “shutting down” and unable to function. She may feel and incredible sense of shame, berating herself for not “living up to her potential”.
