left side of the brain: matthew broderick is a good actor and he has range. the character he plays here is nothing like any other character he has portrayed, and he plays it well. besides, an actor is more than the movie characters he plays, and one role shouldn't define him, especially with his amount of skill.

right side of the brain: look at that ferris bueller man go

First viewing in at least 10 years. Holds up really well. And I like that it's called ELECTION, not *THE* ELECTION, because it’s as much about the agonizing process of making choices in life as it is the results of a single student council president race.

women who work toward positions of power that were intended for men, and are still occupied mostly by men, are not annoying but ambitious and admirable, thank you for coming to my TED talk

the original parks and rec

fill me up, ferris bueller

God damn is this funny

This movie is a masterpiece, seeing the MTV films logo at the start had me feeling nostalgic. That’s something we’ll likely never see again, Reese Whitherspoon is perfect in the role.  The movie still holds up today.

The movie with Reese Witherspoon jumping the most. Hell yeah. Lemme tell you it’s a big fucking mood baby! Big tea sis! Stay woke! 🐝

Ok so moral of the story: Men are shit....especially when they’re intimidated by strong, determined women

It kinda seemed like Chris Klein was playing Keanu Reeves playing a high school kid.

Election is a surprise after the other. It’s funny, dark and most of the times it feels unfair, exactly like life. The writing is quite impressive as we find ourselves relating to every single character despite their age, desires or relationships. Chris Klein in particular is playing the most kind and sympathetic jock in high school movie history. Also there is something sadistically exhilarating about seeing Matthew Broderick be miserable!

It's kind of ironic how the only good person in this movie turns out to be the jock Paul Metzler, when jocks are normally associated as all around terrible people in in the American high school mythos. This is really a funny ass movie, but it's also pretty depressing. Particularly the moment where Jim walks into his house and realizes everything has gone wrong...it's not pleasant. But he deserved it didn't he? Maybe this movie is actually a rumination on the great destroyer of man, being horny. It's a lot of things and yet also nothing, but that's why it's so great! If there's one thing you can take away from this movie, it's "be less horny, and realize that there's more to life than cheating your way to a success"

Pick Flick!

I had just turned sixteen so I couldn’t get in by myself, and although my mom said she’d go see Notting Hill, she changed her mind and saw this with me instead. The bottom half of the screen was out of focus for the entire film and neither of us would get up to say anything (the other four people didn’t, either). My mother groaned very loudly at the line “Her pussy gets so wet, you can’t believe it.” I thought I was going to die!!!
