Elle Woods and the Realities of Justice: Why Legally Blonde Still Matters
This evening, as we prepare for our internships in different places, I found myself watching Legally Blonde (and Legally Bonde 2!) with my friends. As an elder Gen Z, I feel it’s my responsibility to introduce them to the best chick flicks of 2004. My friends, who come from Myanmar, have often remarked on how this movie, released in 2001, still feels so fresh and relevant. They’ve noted how impressive the technology looks compared to films they’ve seen, perhaps because they haven’t experienced many Hollywood productions; Asia has its own thriving film industry and beloved favorites.

The Devil and Isadore Freleng
I mentioned before, in an earlier Looney Tunes story, that Friz Freleng does have an affinity for the macabre in his Looney Tunes cartoons. A big part of it is his depictions of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with three shorts playing out that story. But the affinity also includes an even darker depiction: the Devil. We have seen Heaven and Hell depicted in classic cartoons before. Tom and Jerry gave us the famous short, Heavenly Daze, where Tom ends up in Heaven after his latest chase, but faces heading to "the other place" if he can't receive documented forgiveness from Jerry.
