i could have danced all night...

The other day Maya and I were lunching at the Big Chill, one of those hot tired days when we were too pooped out to talk and were just sitting silently and picking on our salad and bread, and you know how Big Chill is full of these movie posters, so all of a sudden, I go like-It is so nice when you can sit with someone and not have to talk… and that started a volley of movie quotes- which quikly degenerated in to movie songs…and with my singing that’s never a good idea.

So here I am listing a few of my favourite movie quotes--- lets see how good you guys are---
(btw no quotes from The Godfather-though absolutely want to-but wud be too easy-
urrgh, lemme just get it out of my system- aa aaa AAAAA!! Ok then!!)

1.girl- Well, if you must know, it was because he was very jealous, and I had these days of the week underpants.
Boy-Ehhhh. I'm sorry. I need the judges ruling on this. "Days of the weeks underpants"?
Girl-Yes. They had the days of the week on them, and I thought they were sort of funny. And then one day Sheldon says to me, "You never wear Sunday." It was all suspicious. Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday? And I told him, and he didn't believe me.
Boy-what?
Girl-They don't make Sunday
Boy-Why not?
Girl-Because of God.

2. …oh Rick,you have to think for the both of us, you have to think for all of us

3. She's so deliciously low. So horribly dirty.

(Another one frum the same, this is too easy…)

The rine in spine sties minely in the pline.

4.
There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

5. Why don't you love me, Jenny? I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

6. Dances With Wolves. I am Wind In His Hair. Do you see that I am your friend? Can you see that you will always be my friend?

7.girl- bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been two months since my last confession. Priest-What sins have you to confess? Girl-Twice I took the name of the Lord in vain, once I slept with the brother of my fiancé, and once I bounced a check at the liquor store, but that was really an accident. Priest -Then it's not a sin. But... what was that second thing you said, Loretta?

8.- And then? -No "and then"! -And then!

9.- I'm Cammie, the Russian tease. - Violet, the Jersey nun. - We all play our little parts. That one's Rachel, the New York bitch. Only Rachel really is a bitch, and I really am a tease. - Cammie, you can only be a tease if you stop sleepin' around, babe. - Yeah, I keep forgetting that part!

10. I'm poor, black, I may even be ugly, but dear God I'm here, I'm here!

Leave your answers…love ya!!

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

I read this forward today and it disturbed me a great deal. It was about women and how special they are. Read on-

Why Women Cry-
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?""Because I'm a woman," she told him."I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said,"And you never will."Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?""All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on thephone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"God said:"When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weightof the world,yet gentle enough to give comfort.I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth andthe rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardnessthat allows her to keep going when everyone else givesup, andtake care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children underany and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her verybadly.I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband neverhurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusivelyto use whenever it is needed.""You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes,because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
Please send this to five beautiful women you know today.If you do, something good will happen - You will boost anotherwoman's self-esteem!You can also send this to men who would really like to know the value of a woman and why she is so different from others.

Wait a minute. What the fuck!
I was so confounded after the first ten lines that I thought it had to be a joke and there must be something extremely funny at the end. But no such luck. Did I miss something?? Do people actually find such sexist nonsense uplifting- I want to laugh in everyone’s face who was filled with a warm fuzzy feeling after reading it. If you are one of them don’t ever bother to read my blog again.

Ya, ok. So I have never been this rude, but seriously who comes up with stuff like this. It’s down right offensive- women are special because they cry-
Ok-men don’t cry? And it’s women's lot to be miserable so lets celebrate that! Woohoo!!

Another one-Women are made up of contraries- they have to be strong while being gentle, patient while being ill treated by their children, and if their husbands beat em up, they are just testing them. for what??huh!?
and ofcourse what sort of mysoginistic discourse would be complete without a bit of theological reasoning thrown in- eve was born out of adam’s rib- his daughter. Well I think it’s incestuous and makes my stomach turn.
Did anyone notice that it’s a boy asking the questions- I bet this was written by a guy.

What this sort of reasoning does is create an image of the ideal woman- one who doesn’t complain, is pliant, slaves away, is a sensitive punching bag, and how she bears it all is through sense less crying.

Such discourses are a huge problem intoday’s world. Women are economically independent and have their own careers. They are no longer ‘ the angel in the house’. so what has happened is this celebration of a superwoman, who is seen as a cross between a kick ass professional and the perfect home maker. I think such ideas have only enslaved women more as they are constantly living upto this ideal and thus get entrapped into them. lots of people would like to propogate ideas about how women have super human strength to manage everything. Ofcourse this isn’t true.
WOMEN ARE NOT SPECIAL. Don’t put us on a pedestal that we all break our backs trying to reach.
This celebration of a woman’s capabilities is not liberating, it’s just extremely patriarchal discourse, candy flossed.

What really grinds my gears is the fact that a girl sent me this and she is doing a course in gender studies. I am so irritated by the fact that stuff like this dupes intelligent women.

Smartenup people and get rid of these stereotypes which not only hamper the development of the female psyche but the male mind as well.
Arent boys constantly trying to live up to this idea of machismo where they cant cry.
'metrosexual'- umm-that concept is kind of beyond my grasp so shall not delve into it.
But all i know is Men and Women all have the same weaknesses and failings, and same strengths, they just vary from individual to individual, and gender has got nothing to do with it.
