complaining about Hepburn being "psycho" in BUB seems kind of like complaining that Bugs Bunny is a psycho, though I can see how her character being the ur-manic pixie feels sour in 2014

the point of nice-guy schlub Bud Baxter's awakening in The Apartment is not that he's a DOORMAT, but that he's a PIMP.

The unfaceable truth. Wonder what Morbs' Mulholland Dr. fantasy looks like. (All of ILE in a lake of fire, I assume.)

It feels so weird to note that "pimp" is a rather flattering description of a guy who lets his boss and his crush fuck in his apartment
That like, "pimp" suggests a criminal degree of domination and authority over women. That the neighbor assumes he has it is even a running joke in the film

If he learned he was a pimp the moral would have been to stop abusing women. He learns to stop being abused by his bosses, and is rewarded with respect from a woman.

wish i had voted in this.
philadelphia story is the ur-romantic comedy to me because it's so explicit in articulating the misogynist ideology that dominates so many romantic comedies that came later. i always feel guilty about liking it so much for that reason, but in highlighting the ideology, it makes it available for critique. i know the first time i saw it i was like why are all these men yelling at katherine hepburn for the exact thing that makes her awesome?
also the character of liz makes me so sad/mad.
the only cringy moment is when they make jimmy stewart say all that fires banked down crap.
cary grant is so beautiful.
i have seen this movie at least one hundred times and it still makes me laugh out loud. so, so funny and quick.

Tracy Lord's being 'tamed' is sort of a neat prophecy of Hepburn's late career -- say after 1967 -- when she kept doing the kate thing mostly in disposable movies, w/out true bite.
