compare.
Simon Wilder: You asked the question, sir, now let me answer it. The beauty of the Constitution is that it can always be changed. The beauty of the Constitution is that it makes no set law other than faith in the wisdom of ordinary people to govern themselves.
Professor Pitkannan: Faith in the wisdom of the people is exactly what makes the Constitution incomplete and crude.
Simon Wilder: Crude? No, sir. Our "founding parents" were pompous, white, middle-aged farmers, but they were also great men. Because they knew one thing that all great men should know: that they didn't know everything. Sure, they'd make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. The president is not an "elected king," no matter how many bombs he can drop. Because the "crude" Constitution doesn't trust him. He's just a bum, okay Mr. Pitkannan? He's just a bum.
This is one of the best movies from the 90's and deserves way more recognition. Despite what these pictures and the publicity for this movie will have you believe, Brendan Fraser isn't the main character. (I'm not complaining about the eye candy though) Not really. The real star is Joe Pesci as Simon. He has the best lines and the frankly better character arc.
One of the things that kills me about this movie is that in the exchange above, the other person in the conversation is played by Gore Vidal. Yes, THAT Gore Vidal. Essayist, Public intellectual, Bisexual, Said gross things about the Roman Polanski case, had fueds with Truman Capote, William F. Buckley Jr., AND Norman Mailer, Had alleged love affairs with Anais Nin AND Fred Astaire, Gore Vidal.

why am i dressed slutty you ask? to read classic literature alone in my room. mind your own business.

“single” is a word the government created to give Americans tax disadvantages. if you’re asking me if im lonely the answer is yes.
Honestly if you want justification for why it’s important that English/Language Arts teachers make you break down exactly why a given sentence made you feel a given way, the fact that it’s now a point of basic political literacy to be able to tell when a headline is trying to make you angry, and at whom, and about what, is a pretty strong case in point.
Inside the Perfume Wardrobe of…: Cher
Singer, actress, model, icon. Cher burst onto the Mod 1960s scene, and has memorized us ever since with her strong voice, poignant performance in Moonstruck (1987), sequin encrusted Bob Mackie gowns, and firecracker attitude.
- Ritz by Charles of the Ritz and Vanilia by L’Artisan Parfumeur When asked on Letterman in 1986 what perfume she was wearing, Cher states “It’s two together. One’s real cheap, it’s called Ritz and it’s like Tabu, good girls don’t wear it. And the other one’s real expensive, called Vanilia.” David Letterman replies, “The end result is quite effective.” They go on to discuss how she has turned down appearing on the show for four years, “Because you thought I was a-”, Letterman starts to say. Cher cuts in and finishes the sentence: “An asshole.” The audience boos.
- Uninhibited by Cher (1988) and Cher Eau de Couture by Cher (2019) Cher went on to create two fragrances: Uninhibited in 1988, and more recently, Cher Eau de Couture. Cher says the fragrance “makes you want to hold yourself,” because of the juice’s warm, gourmand blend.
