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

I don’t have a list of my favorite movie characters. Why would I? But if I DID, Paul would be at the top.
-
my thoughts throughout this movie:
1. reese witherspoon plays unhinged, ambitious characters better than anyone else
2. i would vote for the himbo why lie
3. wait maybe i would vote for the himbo’s lesbian sister
4. what do i have to do to become a part of the himbo and lesbian sister’s family bc i love them both so much
5. tammy being happy about getting sent to immaculate heart bc she’s going to be surrounded by hot girls, lady bird just couldn’t do it
6. wait does this movie have the same ending as portrait of a lady on fire or am i going crazy

My mom has said to me multiple times that nobody should graduate film school without having seen Election. I don't know if I agree with her yet but this is an amazing movie.

Dear God, thank you for all your blessings. You've given me so many things, like good health, nice parents, a nice truck, and what I'm told is a large penis.

You either die a Ferris Bueller or live long enough to see yourself become Jim McAllister.

The Tracy Flicks have won. We live in their world now. Though they will never be popular, or cool or well liked, they will never be defeated. Alexander Payne tried to warn us but it was too late.
-
just knowing that this is apparently Barack Obama's favourite political film somehow made it that much funnier
-
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

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.
