"Cool Hand Luke, to me, and I’m not a film historian, but what it feels like to me is it’s in this intersectional point between the glamorization of film and that golden era of Hollywood where everything was meant to look perfect, like all the old Cary Grant movies like His Girl Friday and Arsenic and Old Lace, where everything is supposed to look so nice and everybody’s always impeccably dressed and charming and all that. Cool Hand Luke comes after that, where it’s a more cinema verite realism kind of thing. But also, there are still elements of the older films that you don’t get anymore, like using imagery in a really cool way. Like, there’s one scene where, to inspire a feeling of tension and stress, there’s just a really slow push in on a whirling fan that just keeps whirling and whirling, and I feel like they don’t do that much anymore. Now they have to really pander to the audience, and make sure that they serve up to you exactly what’s going on, instead of using that kind of stuff. Also, Paul Newman is the f—ing best, and he’s so good in that movie, and it’s just cool, man. It’s just a guy who just won’t get beat by the system, and I really like that. There’s so many layers to that movie. It’s one of the few movies that I make sure I keep downloaded on my iPhone or my iPad, just so that I always have it available."

Wonder Woman
THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS
Honestly, I don't understand why this movie is a big deal for feminists. I get that its Wonder Woman and its about a bad ass female. I just think that all the parts about a man justifying her actions are overlooked. Don't believe me? Think about it. Diana comes from an island where there are no men. She leaves the island to go with the first guy she ever meets. That night she makes out with him. Not all of this bothers me. (Except when she started making out with Steve I was a little peeved.) What gets me the most about this movie is that when Steve is killed, Diana goes crazy and starts to turn "evil". However, when she realizes he loved her, everything is fine again. She shouldn't have to realize this guy she just met loves her if this movie is suppose to be all about girl power and how you don't need a man.

I read this book before, and I just had an urge to read it again. And I loved it just as much as the first time. It's such a sweet story, a girl has an imaginary friend, he leaves her and then years later when she's an adult comes back into her life and brings joy, happiness and love into her world. How crazy is it that her perfect guy turns out be her imaginary childhood friend? Love really does come in many different forms.
