thefilmcanister asked: Hey there! So I'm trying to spread the word to all of the Old Hollywood blogs about Pickfair Studios. They are apparently trying to demolish it. There is a petition that you can sign on the website. If you search savethepickfairstudio it should come up. Any help spreading the word would be great too. :)

jonas-under-my-skin asked: the best best best blog of gwtw ♥ i love you

bodairlin asked: I'm so excited I found you! My Mom and I are having an argument, maybe you can help: was it Scarlett O'Hara who demanded that her corset be laced tighter? We can't remember!

wornsoul asked: Do you have a gif or could you make one of when Rhett is holding Scarlett and then rips her out of the bed before Mellys surprise party? xx

Anonymous asked: Hi! I read one of the anonymous questions about the book "Rhett Butler's People".I was wondering if you knew anymore about it and if you do could you tell me if Scarlett and their love life is mentioned in the novel :-).

meropegaunts asked: just wanted to say - researchers discovered similarities with Rhett and Margaret Mitchell's first husband Red Upshaw - who raped her during their marriage. This information makes me inclined to believe she wrote Rhett with the ability to be sexually abusive. The 'term' rape in Scarlett's case is complicated not because they are married, but because she is sexually attracted to...

Anonymous asked: So I just saw all the posts about how Rhett carrying her up the stairs was rape, and I'd like to disagree! I agree with you, saying that she doesn't say no, she's just struggling until he kisses you, then MM says some how her arms were around his neck and her lips beneath his and they were going up, up into the darkness again, a darkness that was soft and swirling and all...

wittywallflower asked: The Scarlett miniseries varies from the book in some frankly ridiculous ways. Seriously, some parts are just dumb. But the actress is most of the time a pretty satisfyingly sassy Scarlett. The actor playing Rhett is not unattractive. One sentence movie review: I wouldn't warn anyone NOT to see it, nor would I particularly recommend it to anyone who wouldn't want to leave with the story...

katerinas asked: When I was reading the book I never even thought it would be interpreted as a rape by some people till I've seen some posts here and comments on YouTube. Anyway, as you said it was the turning point for Scarlett, and I think that they finally found themselves on the same level for the first time. She finally gave in. MM wrote that part perfectly causing me massive butterflies in my stomach....

servethenuts asked: Rape is wrong. What is Rhett did to Scarlett was wrong. I love them to the end, but what Rhett did was inexcusable. I bear it because I see it as the portray of another era. An era where marital rape and slavery was ok. I understand that. But if I could go back and slap some sense into them and probably even dennounce them I would. But I understand those WERE the parameters they had. But I...

Anonymous asked: i read that once director victor fleming told vivien leigh to take her script and "shove it up her royal british ass". any thoughts?

Anonymous asked: One of the stories I heard was that Leigh hated kissing Gable because he had atrocious breath? This is my number one all time movie of all time that changed cinema forever. I have the VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray 70th edition. What versions do you have? And what do you love about this glorious film?

mr-woodchuck asked: If I remember correctly, both Scarlett and Rhett were considerably drunk in the sex (or rape, depending on your opinion) scene in question. Therefore, technically, if we're going by today's legal standards--neither had the capacity to consent, and in a court of law, each was a victim of rape. Going by Civil War standards it was, as you stated, his marital right. However, if you ask me,...

Anonymous asked: Who wouldn't want sex from Rhett Butler???? i mean come on, he is a sexy beast!!!

thedevilscandy asked: I read Scarlett, and while I'm glad the book has a happy ending, I don't think it flowed with GWTW at all. It didn't have the same feel. I also see no point in watching the made-for-TV movie because it doesn't have Clark and Vivien. I don't know if there is any modern woman or man who could embody Rhett and Scarlett the way those two did. Just like nobody can write like...

Anonymous asked: Do you know if Clark and Vivien got along offscreen? I know her and Leslie didn't, and I'm curious as to why.

Anonymous asked: I've always thought in the case of Scarlett & Rhett on the stairs and afterwards, the whole deal is that she's being dominated by a stronger personality, she finally found someone whose will wouldn't yield to hers. And she seems to enjoy that, at least according to the book. That's my take on it =) Love the blog, as always!

Anonymous asked: I've read Rhett Bulter's People, which is another "sequel" of sorts, and I thought it was a million times better than "Scarlett".

Anonymous asked: It's been a while since I read it, so I could be completely wrong, but didn't she say no? I think that makes it rape whether she wanted it or not. Because as far as he knew, she didn't want it.

Anonymous asked: right. i don't think it's rape, either. i think the book is better about that, because you can read that she did want him, and i think in the book she did surrender to him. the movie just makes it seem like he carried her up the stairs, which he did, but in the book you get her thoughts, and i don't think it was rape either way. stupid (and random) question, but do you like the book...

heaven-knowsimmiserablenow-deac asked: I actually had the opportunity to read the sequel Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. It continues the story where it was left in the first and after a lot of struggle and traveling to Ireland to visit her own family Scarlett goes through a huge character transformation and ends up winning Rhett back. A lot of fans of the original by Margret Mitchell won't recognize this sequel as a part of the...

chicago-issotwoyearsago asked: i just followed you a minute ago and I can already say YOU ARE MY FAVORITE TUMBLR BLOG! This movie brings me to tears EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch it... GOD BLESS YOUR BLOG!♥

Anonymous asked: hi! do you think rhett and scarlett ever got back together? also, do you think the scene where he carries her up the stairs and has sex with her after ashley's party was rape or not? most people wouldn't sing the morning after they had been attacked....

hannah90 asked: OMGOMGOMG How did I NOT know about your tumblr before now?! GWTW is my favorite movie of all time! So happy :)

thenostalgias asked: Hello, I love your blog! I have a request. Can you please make a gif of Scarlett when she is wearing the green bonnet and sees Ashley and melly hugging at the train station when he arrives for Christmas? She is making a really grudging and heartbroken expression. Thank you!!

guardingtheempire asked: I have a request! Could you please make a gif of Scarlett when she says "ATLANTA!" after her mother suggests she goes to stay with Melanie and Aunt Pitty? Please and thank you :)!
