Winona Ryder - Blog Posts
Sometimes I wish that the Duffers hadn’t managed to cast an amazing group of actors for ST so that it would be easier to see how abysmal at worst and mediocre at best the show really is.
Literally all of the most beloved moments, lines, and changes to characters/storylines are due to the actors’ improvisations and suggestions.
Winona Ryder in LITTLE WOMEN (1994) dir. Gillian Armstrong
Beetlejuice has literally been stalking Lydia for years. He's intentionally off-putting and gross. He openly enjoys freaking her out. It's his way of showing affection. He's like a horror Pepe Le Pew.
They refer to him as being a demon at least 3 times in BJBJ, as well as the fact that he had a satanic first wedding and cannot make the sign of the cross without setting himself on fire. He's evil. Funny, and sometimes helpful, but still evil. Doesn't mean he can't fall in love.
No, movie Lydia isn't into him. Why would she be? He's always terrorizing her and trying to coerce her into marriage, presumably for selfish reasons. Plus he's covered in bugs and spews guts and fluids wherever he goes. But that doesn't mean that they can't both change eventually. Hell, it's still a better love story than Twilight or (gag) Rory/Lydia.
So there is no "Is this particular scenario okay and not problematic?" with Beetlejuice. You're either on board with him being a literal monster, or you're not. You have to acknowledge it, accept it, and still be into it to be a Beetlebabe who isn't trying to make BJ into something nicer and cleaner than he is. We like it because monsters and goth girls are fun, not because it's in any way related to real life. Beetlejuice is about as far away from real life as you can get.
Sometimes you need a break from reality, morality, and acceptability. It's healthy to take a break from all that societal pressure. The reason horror and subversive comedy is popular is because it gives us some much needed freedom from the limited ways we're always expected to feel and behave.

JOSIE AINSWORTH WAS AFRAID.
Strange things have been occurring recently in the small midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. It all started with the disappearance of Will Byers, a young boy who went missing while biking home from a friend's house late at night. But that wasn't the only reason Josie was afraid, her home life scared her too, she needed to get her sister out of that hellhole before it was too late.
Josie felt guilty. She hadn't wanted to go home that night, so she was biking around town after being at her friend Barbara’s house when she saw Will on his way home. She didn't say anything, if she had said something, he would still be here now. Everything was piling up on her already burdened shoulders, she felt like she was going to crack, like a porcelain doll.
Josie and Nancy Wheeler had been friends at the beginning of high school, but they had drifted apart since Nancy started dating that douchebag Steve Harrington. They now only talked through their mutual friend Barbara Holland. So, when Josie walked out of a party that would end in disaster, she felt the guilt suffocating her. None of this was supposed to happen, she was just angry at fucking Carol.
The Ainsworth family was well known in the community as being a story of unexpected downfall. Before the car accident, Josie’s parents Nathan and Eleanor were well-respected, they hosted parties and were church-goers. The family got into a terrible car accident, and the hospital bills cost them basically all they had to their name, it essentially bankrupted the family. Eleanor left, just walked out on her two young daughters and Nathan began to drink heavily. He was fired from his job because he kept showing up to work drunk. They lost their home because they couldn't pay for it since Nathan wasn't working. They had to move to the trailer park. Now, people refuse to speak to the Ainsworths, most of them are scared of Nathan, who has grown violent over the years.
Her friends are the only bit of comfort she has left in her life. Though, after what happened to Will, talking to Jonathan has gotten harder and harder.
At school, she sinks her brain into her work, keeping her mind off everything else going on. She doesn't let anyone see what she is dealing with and no one seems to notice either. She is invisible to the world around her.
With Nancy and Steve's relationship growing distant, and Nancy and Jonathan growing closer, a friendship blossoms between Nancy and Josie. And when Nancy and Jonathan start dating, Josie is happy for them.
But that wasn't true, was it?

I watched ''Black swan" with a friend today and was pleasantly surprised. Most of the 'girlblogger' films I watch are either mild in their social critique or rely too heavily on shock factor, but Aronofsky's film is harsh and relatable. One thing I enjoyed immensely was the cinematography.
If anyone could share their thoughts on the film I'd appreciate it very much! I intend on writing an analysis in the next few days.
Stay yourself, stay curious.
ok. i’m about to reveal some real embarrassing shit.
i’ve never seen beetlejuice (1988) before- bible belt shit u know how it is. i was so excited to turn it on especially because i recognized so many names and also bc this movie is iconic so i knew my queen winona ryder would be on there. i didn’t know alec baldwin was in this movie but i like 30 rock and he is an impeccable trump.
BUT WHEN WAS ANYONE GOING TO TELL ME ALEC BALDWIN WAS FUCKING HOT AS SHIT ?!?!?!?!?! i always liked him but the things i know i would do to this man (younger him)now………… im losing my mind over this
...Hold up a god damn minute here.
THIS is the Brad Dourif Alien movie I haven't seen yet? The one everyone says is terrible?
Ya'll...
Genuinely can't stand criticisms of the second best Alien movie when it gave us glorious scenes like this
You have no right to criticize the first sapphic film I saw as a child.
Girl, Interrupted
(1999)
The last artwork is mine 🖤

Thank you!

Michael is going to be Heather Chandler since he wears red much better.
They’ve now ganged up and are trying to get me to change my costume to Veronica Sawyer. I told them that JD would be more accurate, but they want Veronica.
I haven’t decided wether or not I’m going to actually flatter them and do it or keep my Lindsay outfit.
They decided on doing a Heathers look with Michael joining in.
So we all are going as some kind of a Winona Ryder career choice.
