I’m sorry, but, I’m going to have to call you on that. It’s bullshit. That’s what everyone has been saying. “You’ll get better” and “It’ll be fine”. I don’t know why everyone is so fucking scared to say it. “You’re dying, dude”…It makes it worse.
Adam: I want this to be over. I’m so fucking tired of being sick…if this surgery doesn’t work, that’s it – [crying] I’ve never been to fucking Canada or told a girl I love her…it sounds stupid. Katherine: No. It doesn’t. Adam: I’m sorry I was such an asshole. Katherine: I was the asshole. I was so totally unprepared - for you. This job is really hard. If I fuck up, I could ruin someone’s whole life. Adam: I guess we’re both beginners at this. Katherine: [smiles] Yeah. Adam: What were you doing when I called? Were you on Facebook? Katherine: You know… umm… stalking my ex-boyfriend actually isn’t the only thing I do in my free time. Adam: I wish you were my girlfriend. Katherine: Girlfriends can be nice. You just had a bad one. Adam: Yeah, but I bet you’d be a good one. - 50/50, Will Reiser (2011)
Dot: I’ve have exactly one life, and for reasons I myself don’t really understand, I now believe that life somehow will not be fulfilled unless I’m standing at the bottom of the worlds deepest pit with you two perverts!

And how could I have possibly forgotten the great Anne Hathaway moment.
“If I don’t write my book of essays now, that means all the damage I got, isn’t good damage. It’s just damage. I have gotten nothing out of it, and all of those years, I was miserable for nothing. I could have been happy this whole time and written a book about girl detectives and been cheerful and popular and had good parents, is that what you’re saying? What was it all for?!”
Bojack Horseman Episode - Good Damage (Season 6, Episode 10)
Four female New Yorkers gossip about their sex lives (or lack thereof) and find new ways to deal with being a woman in the ’90s. Six seasons, and 94 episodes in total.
What did you think? I really enjoyed it, it was so funny despite dealing with a tough subject (ovarian cancer). I particularly loved Sharon’s character when she got drunk!
“Here lies Chippy - friend… lover… professional wrestler! I came, I saw, I enchufla-ed!!!”
TITLE:Old Custer AUTHOR:Eli Cash ORIGIN:The Royal Tenenbaums (movie, 2001, directed by Wes Anderson)
Everyone knows that Custer died at Little Big Horn. What this book presupposes is… what if he didn’t?
I. Fiction — Westerns — Problematic romanticization of racist tropes II. Fiction — Alternate histories — The Old West III. Serious Literature — Genre fiction with pretensions — Impressive-sounding words
And here we’ve got our first repeat offender with another book from The Royal Tenenbaums! Told you there’d be more. I’m spacing them out, but Wes Anderson’s got a LOT of these. Anyway, much like Family of Geniuses, this image originally came from the Criterion Collection 2012 gallery of the books and magazines by and about the film’s characters, archived here.
And… boy, is this cover a LOT more racist even than it appears at the quick glance of it you get in the movie, which is already pretty freaking racist. I mean, I guess that’s part of the point about the type of person and writer Eli is, but STILL.
