Writer. Lover of sarcasm. I prefer books and movies to real life.
Just finished watching NORTH BY NORTHWEST with my 11 y.o. and she was so not buying its portrayal of 1950s masculinity. “Jerk,” “a-hole,” and “idiot” were comments about Roger Thornhill. Cary Grant as movie star also mystifying. “Tan like Donald Trump.”
She loved the crop dusting scene though!
