Mamma Mia (2008) is really such a fever dream. The night scenes obviously shot in the daytime. The props dept not even TRYING to make the actors look younger in the photos. The actors being drunk on uzo the whole time. The random camera zooms. Bill, Sam, and Harry having atrocious singing voices (just like real dads!). The locals being the Greek chorus. The Movie Musical Cinematic Universe's first openly gay character™. The entire thing taking place in TWO DAYS.
I love it so much.

Eddie, posting to Tiktok: Sometimes, I look at Steve and I think, how’d I get so lucky. He’s literally perfect. But then. I remember…
*cut to a video of Steve and Dustin from a couple years ago when Dustin moved back to Chicago. They’re doing their handshake that has only gotten more elaborate.*
Eddie: And I’m like…Yeah, totally fucking perfect, huh? But then, I remember….
*Cut to a video of Eddie asking Steve what his favorite Star Wars movie is and Steve answering. Teddy bear noises and all*
Eddie: And I think, perfection is boring anyways. I want a man with great hair, a great ass, and objectively bad taste in movies.

Mamma Mia is a movie musical where only like 2.5 of the actors can actually sing and somehow it works.

Everyone who was pissed that i left Pacific Rim out of my first poll
i was pissed at myself for forgetting it.
Also no Goncharov once again-- trying to capture a more distant era of tumblr, like i said.

I am reading One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, and I saw some review that was like “ugh it’s too idealistic, it’s like the authors just putting on a performance for the audience rather than telling a story” and I’m like yesss, but that’s the point. They’re indulging us. As I was reading I kept getting so excited, like I’m less than half through (so this might not hold up) but I kept just thinking no way, how does everything keep happening so perfectly, this is like fanfiction of an actual book, or written like the dreams I use to fall asleep.
And then I was thinking (aside from the fact that’s exactly how I feel about Red White and Royal Blue politics criticism), that’s what defines all my favourite movies. They’re all built to indulge us. There’s Legally Blonde and Little Women and Ocean’s 8 and Mamma Mia and Midnight in Paris and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and they’re all designed to give us exactly what we want, in ways that are bold but nuanced and more often than not flippin stunning. It’s why Heartstopper was so revolutionary, and more generally why we love fanfiction and romcoms.
In conclusion, that’s why the Barbie movie is going to be a cultural reset.
