You know who's just awesome?

You know who's just awesome? Rhett Butler. Ignore the fact that he's fictional and the somewhat freakish obsession with Scarlett O'Hara (and his overly aggressive advances towards her). I want one of him. He says he's a bad lot and selfish and not a gentleman...and he may not be a gentleman, but he's certainly not selfish, and definitely not a cad. He has far too many soft spots--for Melanie, for Scarlett, and he's so cute when he's with Bonnie. He always comes through when you need him, he knows how to hold and kiss a woman, and is full of snarky goodness. Scarlett so doesn't deserve him. And when he leaves her at the end of the movie, he's coming into the future to sweep me off my feet, figuratively and literally. Sigh. Damn Turner Classic Movies for showing this.

Well, at least Gone With the Wind is a quality movie. The Next Karate Kid is also on. Zen bowling anyone? [Jody: I caught a bit of the beginning. She lives with like her aunt or someone but they're all teenage-angsty, so she goes to stay with Miyagi. Or something like that. We see the adult woman sending her off at the airport.]

Current song in my head:
"Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners (What, don't you see how that relates to Gone With the Wind? Okay, neither do I.)
