    hey guys! If you’re wondering where the ‘love lies bleeding’ video I posted a few days ago went, it got copyright claimed (& also apparently didn’t seem to show up in feeds?? which is ?? weird 👀) so I’m going to cut the claimed bits out & try this whole thing again lol - it should be up in a few days! in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this one!! & I hope everyone is having a happy pride month 🏳‍🌈💜🤍🖤

    Imagine Me and You was, for a very long, one of the *ONLY* films featuring queer women that get a happy ending. It's sort of hard to believe now, in the age where every 3rd or 4th show on Hulu has a queer couple in it, how sort of revolutionary this film was when it came out -- no pun intended ;)

      This, _D.E.B.S._ and _Because I'm a Cheerleader._ were the only three I could recall for a long time. I think _Bound_ could go in there, also.

      I mean even now it is difficult to have queer women storylines with happy endings too. Certainly happens more often than not now, but I am still livid about Killing Eve for example

    I watched this film first time in 2009 I think, and it is still my favourite Queer romcom ever, did not saw anything like that since! That's why I'm rewatching it from time to time )) It has great cast, actually relatable and quite believable plot, with beautiful nuances in storytelling, impeccable humour, beautiful cinematography (locations included), iconic scenes (number 9, dance machine, lilies meaning etc.) and soundtrack - what else a person need )))
    I think it was the first movie that gave me the feeling that my love story could be as anyone else’s story - light and happy, because at that time most lesbian stories were tragic or depressing in any other way. So, in my personal list it is one of the greatest movies still )))
    Also, it was a joy to watch you enjoy it for the first time ))) Reminded me a lot about how I watched it for the first time ))

    This is the first ever WLW movie I ever saw with a happy ending. It's where I absolutely fell for Lena Headey for the first time. It's also refreshing that they don't paint her husband as this evil man holding her back. That gets annoying and is not realistic.

    I found this movie almost immediately after it was released because I was going through a phase where I tracked down every quote that my friends had on their favorite quote list on Facebook and one of my friends had "You're a wanker, number nine!". I saw that the movie had Anthony Head and Matthew Goode (I didn't know Piper Perabo or Lena Headey yet) and decided to watch it.
    It is now one of my go to movies for cheering myself up.

Usually hate a cheating storyline, but back then a decently written, well acted queer rom com wasn’t exactly around every corner, so I put rose glasses on and cheered for them to end up together. It’s another reason why this film is so beloved, for its time it was so rare to see a lesbian film that had a happy ending which they did! Your a wanker number 9 is iconic😂
