There Are A Lot Of Things About Youve Got Mail That Make It The Best Romcom Ever Written, But I Think

there are a lot of things about “you’ve got mail” that make it the best romcom ever written, but i think that part of what is so compelling about it is the idea that you can be forgiven. that someone can see the mean, angry, sad, delusional side of you, and that part just becomes a piece of the whole. the whole, which is full of multitudes and possibilities and bravery to start something new. that whatever pride and prejudice you’re bringing to the table—someone will see through it, right down to who you are when you think no one is looking.

Let me add to my prior statement: controversial series finale.

Ted Lasso 🤝 ATLA 🤝 being a deceptively deep three-act television comedy about our weakest moments and the choices we make to be better for ourselves and the people around us, featuring some of the best “redemption arcs” ever put to screen.

not to be dramatic, but if “in your love” doesn’t win, i will dismantle the recording academy brick by brick and then eat the bricks.

also while i’m ranting about gender i always see debate about whether girls are rewarded for being tomboys or not and it’s like. actually girls are rewarded for mirroring whatever the situation demands of them. girls can’t be too prissy and refuse to play in the creek, but girls also can’t show up to girly events covered in mud. girls can’t have makeup art as a hobby or else they’re superficial, but if they never wear makeup they’re a slob and dumpy, etc. it’s not that girls are universally rewarded or punished for being tomboys, they’re rewarded for bending over backwards to always be exactly right for any given situation and punished for breaking those boundaries. so yes a classically pretty girl who cleans up nice is rewarded when she can ALSO be a tomboy. but a girl who is a tomboy all the time is definitely punished for never being able to achieve that prerequisite feminine side. this debate is over now thanks
