when i said that i wanted to have kids, and you said you wanted me to have a vasectomy, what did i do? and then, when you said that you might want to have kids, and i wasn't so sure, who had the vasectomy reversed? and then when you said you definitely didn't want to have kids? who had it reversed back? SNIP SNAP! SNIP SNAP! SNIP SNAP! i did! you have NO idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!
the sheer power of elizabeth taylor's delivery of the line "i am the earth mother and you are all flops" knocked me on my ass so hard i left a dent on the floor
I know I say this about literally every movie but this is exactly what grad school is like
I first watched this when I was 13 and totally understood everything that was going on.
Absolutely sick. It's the verbal equivalent to a John Wick movie, precisely unhinged violence.
Here's my 2024 remake dream cast:
Martha - Kathryn Hahn
George - Daniel Craig
Nick - John Boyega
Honey - Mary Holland
Hey why don't YOU pitch YOUR remake dream cast in the comments below! Five stars!
this was like tht ep of the office when jim and pam got invited to michael and jans house
There is a scene late in this one where Taylor and Burton square off for a moment. Earlier, Taylor had mocked Burton by relating a tale in which he avoided a boxing match of sorts. In the scene where they square off, they have just gotten out of a car and are howling at each other. They declare "total war" on each other. And for a moment, everything is framed just so that it looks like they are about to begin a boxing match. This moment perfectly encapsulates the entire film. It is sheer combat.
There are lies within lies here. There are verbal barbs coated with affection and sweet kisses coated in poison. It is an impossible maze of…
i just couldn't help but think the whole time about how amazing it is that elizabeth taylor got married 8 times (and TWICE to richard burton) and was the first actress to be paid one million dollars for a role. if that isn't BDE i don't know what is
I had to rewind it to check if Elizabeth Taylor actually called him a Simp. She really did.
what kind of drunk personality are you: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? edition!
the martha: god complex, manipulative, doesn’t know when to stop drinking, still gets hurt no matter how much they try to hide it, mildly horny
the george: passive, angsty, tells people really personal shit after knowing them for less than 20 minutes, violent outbursts, will end up punching a hole in the wall at a house party
the nick: true neutral, can handle his liquor, responsible, pretty boring, isn’t up to date on all the new gossip, kinda gay
the honey: manic, giggly, would get drunk off of one (1) mimosa at brunch with the girls, down for anything, is the primary source of comedy at any given party, would accidentally cheat on her boyfriend in the guest bedroom
