Saw Easy A tonight. It doesn’t really match up to Mean Girls, but there are a lot of great lines.
The movie actually made me kind of sad afterward. A lot of teen girl movies focus on toxic female friendships, but I think Easy A was particularly good at illustrating how impossible it can be to give up on a friendship despite all the signs pointing to ‘get the fuck out now.’
I think all the really terrible, gutwrenchingly destructive relationships I’ve had in my life have been the friendships I’ve had with women. I’ve also been the petty, vacant, self-absorbed bitch of a friend. I’m bad about staying in touch and I’m horrible at caring about things that aren’t me.
This is the first time in my life since maybe middle school where I haven’t had a best friend that was born female. It really sucks.
