Different Dreams

Many women dream of an impossible world where only those attractive them are attracted to them — and only express that attraction when and where those women wish them to do so.

Most men dream of a world where anyone is attracted to them at all and expresses it ever. That’s quite a difference.

Marisa Tomei for โ€˜My Cousin Vinnyโ€™ Is the Rare Perfect Oscars Win.

Agreed. She was so damn great in that part and I loved how many people got angry that a relatively-unknown model-turned-actor won for playing a lower-class person in a comedy film. That’s one of the few movies I’ve rewound (VCRs at the time!) 5-6 times just to see her parts again.

I agree with Tomei why so many people — inside Hollywood and out — were scandalized by the win.

โ€œWhen I was younger, it hurt my feelings,โ€ she said. โ€œIt made me quite ashamed, actually. But on the other hand, itโ€™s a load of [expletive]. I think it had to do more with the role that I playedโ€”that it was comedic and that it wasnโ€™t upper class. I think it was more of a classist thing, frankly.โ€

That is one of my favorite film perfomance of all time. And it still holds up to this day.
