Seemingly disparate bites of information feed my mind. I will attempt chew, swallow and digest.

Women fight for rights in Film



Iron-jawed Angels.
A true story of the women who fight for their right to vote.

Best scene: The woman was handcuffed with her hands high above her head. The other women raised their hands above their head in protest of the woman's treatment. Moving with solidarity and strength.

So this friend.
I was talking to a friend about this movie. And he said, "Oh you mean the one they shot in Richmond?" Yes. That one. (Was shot at the old railway station) So my friend (whose house literally just burnt down, no joke, I'll take donations for him) was working at Elwood Thomson at the time the movie was being shot. Hilary Swank walked in wearing these big sunglasses that said, "I want to be recognizably incognito." The cashier pretended not to recognize her until he handed her card back. He grabbed her hand and said, "I absolutely loved you in "the Next karate Kid." She snatched her hand away and stormed off. ROFLMAO LOLCAT


Music dates the film - droopy hip hop bass beats and sappy strings - might have been edgy in the 90's, now it's trite.
