Something I spotted on Twitter this morning: living life like my blood type is B positive. I kind of love that. It takes a lot of energy to push for change, and I think it's too easy to be caught up in the terrible.[1] So, today, I'm bringing the positive. Here are my list of films that make me feel better when things suck.
1. Harold and Maude
2. Easy A
3. Legally Blonde
4. The Princess Bride (but of course) 5. Mean Girls 6. The New Guy 7. Almost Famous 8. Big Hero 6 9. Tomorrowland 10. Joe vs. the Volcano (warning: contains problematic humor) 11. Defending Your Life (warning: contains problematic humor)

[1] Seriously, SFF con world? ANOTHER round of "Let's make excuses for bad behavior and punish victims of abuse for speaking out."? Please, let's learn the damned lesson already. Apologize. Sure, it's scary to admit when you've done something wrong, but here's the deal: it's like ripping off a bandaid. One sharp quick pain and done. Doing so makes everything heal faster. Denial, mind games, and "people are too easily offended" bullshit stances make everything so much worse. Treat people with dignity and courtesy. When you screw up, apologize. Do not make excuses. Apologize. Learn the lesson the mistake is teaching you. It's simple.
