Yesterday I learned that when they were filming Little Shop Of Horrors, the final shot of Suddenly Seymour took a total of 36 takes. 36 freaking takes! Which meant that Rick and Ellen had to make out a total of 36 times, and at the end they both had given each other lip burn.
It was also filmed in Pinewood studios in England, the largest soundstage in the world, which according to the 1998 DVD extras, was absolutely not insulated for its size, in the dead of winter. In order not to have the actors’ breath show, they had to lip sync the entire scene with ice cubes in their mouths. 36 takes. 36 make outs with a mouthful of ice. Eegads.

hot take: ‘chivalry’ is fine as long as it’s adapted to 21st century values. if you are a male, you SHOULD be aware that your female friends face certain issues that you as a male dont. acting on that awareness in a way that keeps your female friends safe, isn’t a bad thing.
like… opening doors isn’t rly chivalrous when it’s just a thing you ought to do for everyone. but real 21st century chivalry might be, like, standing between your female friend and the guy that’s trying to get her drunk, or offering to walk her home when it’s late.
if the ‘chivalry’ inconveniences everyone involved and you’re just doing it for your over-inflated male ego — ie, “no you’re the girl here, you HAVE to let me hold this door for you and do all these things for you even when you can do it yourself and im just slowing you down” — then it’s just outdated misogyny.
Chivalry was literally designed to make nobles aware of their power and influence so they don’t unintentionally harm people when trying to do their job of leading and protecting people. Modern chivalry should carry on that sentiment of men and white people becoming aware of their own power of privilege and influence to help and protect the lives of their peers.
*Not to inflate their egos, but because it’s the good thing to do and makes the world a better place to be.
Chivalry, at its core, involves being helpful to people who don’t have your advantages.
It involved generosity and protecting those weaker than oneself: including opening doors when doors were made of badly fit heavy wood and often got stuck,and women, especially undernourished exhausted-from-childcare women, had a harder time opening them. It involved not lying, and following through on your promises. (A guy who is consistently late with the accounting reports, which delays the whole team, is not dedicated to chivalry, no matter how polite he is on a date.)
Chivalry is a code of ethics that involves dedicating one’s strength and skills in service to others; it’s not based on gender roles.

In honor of spooky season let’s remember these Star Wars books released in the late 90s that were basically Goosebumps ripoffs that I read all the time
