![]() ![]() Lost fans, I beg you, please do not come for me. Upgrades you to first class, doesn't stop talking. But if the flight attendant is Kirsten Dunst and the passenger is Orlando Bloom, I guess I will allow it.įlight attendant grade: B. So with the history of the term (and Dunst's Elizabethtown role) behind us, I'll just say that if you're a flight attendant, you probably shouldn't be talking the ear off of a man who wants to decompress on a plane. And in my case, that power spun out of control." by giving an idea a name and a fuzzy definition, you apparently also give it power. The Manic Pixie Dream Girl exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." In 2014, Rabin released a follow-up piece apologizing for creating the term, writing, "The trope of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl is a fundamentally sexist one. Rabin wrote, "Dunst embodies a character type I like to call The Manic Pixie Dream Girl (see Natalie Portman in Garden State for another prime example). In 2007, film critic Nathan Rabin first coined the term "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" after watching Kirsten Dunst in Elizabethtown. So fun, would definitely give you a good pour. Season 2 starts one year later, with Cassie one year sober, and I can happily report that within five minutes of the first episode, I was sucked right back in.įlight attendant grade: C+. So, would I, as a passenger, be thrilled to know that one of the people in charge of my life at 30,000 feet was drunk and having hallucinations and vivid flashbacks of childhood trauma? Umm, not particularly. I was anxious to see how they would be able to pull us in for another go without the mystery of Alex. But of course, she’s not completely out of the woods. She manages to get back to America without anyone suspecting much. She spends the night with him and then wakes up to find his lifeless body covered in blood. In Season 1 of The Flight Attendant, Cassie meets Alex (Michiel Huisman) on a flight to Bangkok. But it’s this very tension that makes the show sing. And yes, Cassie’s (Kaley Cuoco) perfect hair and fun coats and possible espionage at times almost overshadow her flight attendant job. Zooey Deschanel, watch your back, because a new queen of television bangs has been crowned. Has to get the pilot to handle Don (but does endure with grace one of the worst Sorkin monologues ever written). ![]() 10/10! Perfect! 5 stars! No notes!įlight attendant grade: D+. (She's right to respond this way, he's been annoying her for hours - and refers to her as "Flight Attendant Crazy Lady" at once point.) She then goes to get the pilot to calm Don, and that's when this cheesy exchange really achieves lift off. The flight attendant is a crucial player in this scene because she is the one who tells Don (a news producer) "No, you do not take control of the cabin" when he decides to announce to the entire flight that there hasn't been a terrorist attack and that their friends and families are safe. While I would love nothing more than to recap every piece of dialogue leading up to the big reveal, I encourage you to watch the iconic scene in full for yourself. It's the funniest thing Aaron Sorkin has ever written - not because I think the military or the killing of bin Laden is funny - but because of the dramatization of how the information is delivered. For me, that video is a clip of The Newsroom where Don tells a flight attendant and pilot that Osama bin Laden has been killed. We all have that video that we stop and watch every single time it pops up in our social media feeds. If there were a grade lower than F, I would give her that. She doesn't get hit by a bus, but in the end, revenge comes for her and her hideous highlights.įlight attendant grade: F. How does she do it? Well, through cheating, of course! From there, we learn that Christine not only cheats but also steals and lies. ![]() Christine, who was at the bottom of their class, receives the coveted New York route, which seems suspect to Donna. After they complete the program, the last step is a written-test placement. (Regina George, watch your back!) Christine and Donna (Gwyneth Paltrow) dream of being flight attendants for Royalty Airlines. It also introduces us to Christine (Christina Applegate), one of the all-time best movie villains. Backstabbing flight attendants, a makeover montage, and a young Mark Ruffalo - a perfect trifecta of cinema. It is a camp classic, and if it's on TV for even 20 minutes, I am watching it. Every time I bring up View From the Top, I am shocked by how few people know what I'm talking about. ![]()
