Ugh. I've been reading/talking about this for days, and it ticks me off. Fanfic authors are talking about GR users reading their  fics "out of context", whatever the heck that means, saying we aren't really part of the fandom for some strange reason, and a bunch of them have had GR admins remove listings for their fics, and thus, our ratings, reviews, and conversations that took place under the reviews.

I don't really get it, at all. No uploading of fics was done, credit was given to the fic authors, and the reviews were mostly all positive. We shared the stuff we enjoyed. I don't get how sending more readers to find your stuff is a bad thing. I do understand the few I saw who'd had users populating the author profile with pictures and links ripped straight from their AO3 or tumblr accounts being pissed, but otherwise, I'm just so confused and hurt by all that's been going on. They link to their fics on tumblr and on blogs, but we can't link to it on GR?

"Nobody puts baby in a corner!"  Love that line! Caught the last ten minutes -including that line on Sunday.  So good. 

I forgot about the scenes from American President  where he tries to order flowers. Then he finally gives up because "Turns out, I have a rose garden"  so funny.  Love Michael Douglas.

I haven't watched Funny Girl and the movies Loopy mentioned 

First movie scene that popped into my mind was in True Lies. The one where Jamie Lee Curtis had to pretend to be an escort and dance in a hotel room for a bad guy who turns out to be her husband Arnold Schwarzenneger who works for the CIA (he set this scene up for her to give her excitement and finally admit he worked for the CIA). He had a co-worker speak in a French accent and taped it so he could give her instructions to dance and strip without her realizing it was him. Sooooooo funny. I love love love this movie! Action, comedy, romance!

The scenes in The American President where Annette Benning made a fool of herself
a) insulting Michael Douglas not knowing he could hear her
B) answering a phone call and making snarky comments not knowing she was speaking to the President
c) michael douglas trying to order flowers for her
  
Famous line: "I am Andrew Shepherd and I AM the president"
That was a very good speech!

I also love musicals. the Sound of Music is my number one choice (know all the songs by heart) and next is Singing in the Rain (good Morning, good morning! It's great to stay up late) 

Just when I thought I couldn't love you anymore, I was starting to think I was the only person that's never seen them.

I love True Lies, it's such an OTT film it's one of those films that I love vegging out to. 
That scene is hilarious and just proved that JLC has a great body. 

This is so great, you ladies are reminded me of films I haven't thought of in ages! I loved Rhys Ifans as Spike, the scene when he goes out to the press in his Y-fronts  "Chicks love grey"  All his lines from this film are classics in my house..."I knew a girl at school called pandora . . never got to see her box though!" 

OK, so what's going on with Reid and the phonebox? CM season 8....No! Don't tell me! Just wanted to ask out loud... 

I love The American President.  Michael Douglas and Annette Bening are wonderful in it.

Back to musicals.  I think one of the funniest scenes is from Annie, when Miss Hannigan (played by Carol Burnett) tries to seduce Daddy Warbucks in song while he's trying to get her to sign the papers giving him Annie.

Carol Burnet was the Queen of Comedy. I wish they would play her old shows once in a while. 

Though that makes me think of Lucille Ball and then I think of Yours, Mine and Ours with Henry Fonda. The scene where they are making sandwiches for lunch. For 18 kids.  Such a funny movie.

Here we're being inundated with the Annie remake, right at Christmas time.  But Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan cannot be beat.  You don't remember her calling Daddy Warbucks her little billiard ball?  And he just keeps telling her to "sign."

No! I don't! How funny! Cos he was bald, right?
