positive · AI labelView post →I love my wife. Somehow we ended up discussing Fried Green Tomatoes, movie and book, over leftover lasagna (lezagna) I like them. They real good company. :)
neutral · AI labelView post →In the movie Fried Green Tomatoes the protagonists kill a man, cook him, and feed him to the cops investigating his disappearance and it still gets referred to as a "chick movie."
neutral · AI labelView post →I went in blind on a movie last night and NOBODY told me that Fried Green Tomatoes is so sapphic. Idgie, an icon
positive · AI labelView post →I Will Always Love You was not the original choice for the Bodyguard final scene they planned a cover of What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted, but Paul Young released a cover of it for the film Fried Green Tomatoes so Kevin Costner suggested Dolly’s song and the acapellla first verse was also his idea

positive · AI labelView post →Of every movie I watched as a kid, Fried Green Tomatoes had the largest impact on my politics If I had to boil it down to one essential point it's that there are some real monsters out there, shielded by privilage and institutions, and it's up to us to take care of each other.
positive · AI labelView post →The Fried Green Tomatoes movie isn’t as gay as the book but they did their best.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie rec is the 1991 film "Fried Green Tomatoes", starring Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy. The moviefied version of the book (by Fannie Flagg, also great) is just wonderful. It has everything. Laughter, tears, mystery, insightfulness, and heart. One of my favorite movies to rewatch. #Movies
positive · AI labelView post →Someone seriously asked: Is the movie Fried Green Tomatoes a sapphic movie? And here I am sapphic just starring into space because I thought that the movie's sapphic content was so blatant that you can probably see it from space????!!!

It makes me want to start a commune with other minorities. I sobbed through like half of it but in a very cathartic way, it made me so happy. So well written
positive · AI labelView post →I want every "the only true way to experience film is theater" purist to know I am currently watch Fried Green Tomatoes in vr chat while wearing the persona of a coyote in light bondage gear. And that's cool because I have access to this experience I would not otherwise have.
neutral · AI labelView post →Because Bluesky musses everything up, full in replies. This "Don't Sag Gay" movie couple is from Fried Green Tomatoes. Yes, I know Viktor isn't that much shorter than Jayce, but Idgie was short af, and I wanted to be true to the pose... so pretend Jayce is on tip toes. More rambles in ALT! #jayvik

positive · AI labelView post →Guess they didn't learn from Oceans 8, and the Ghostbusters movie. Why not just make a unique all women movie instead of trying to co op another franchise. All female movies can be great and we have plenty out there that did well. 1. Fried Green Tomatoes 2. First Wives Club 3. Steel Magnolias This movie isn't needed. And when it bombs they will blame us for being sexist.

We have these a couple of times during the summer - a classic summer dish usually served with remoulade sauce in this household, but sometimes bacon jam. Always a summer treat and forever memorialized in "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" (1987) by Fannie Flagg. Movie filmed in Juliette, Georgia, 1991. #HomeGrownTomatoes #tomatoes #gardening #FriedGreenTomatoes #homegrown #brunch https://thewhistlestopcafe.com
