The world is finally starting to reopen again and we all know what that means. No more worrying about your camera turning on during a zoom meeting, or about having your mask match your outfit, or about masks at all. Wow, we can finally breathe people, this is not a drill. One thing that many of us have to get back into the swing of is dating. We've become much more accustomed to apps, but in the real world there is no swiping left or right.

Are we ready for this? Do we know what to expect? Well, people on Twitter are sharing exactly how they plan to find their significant others in the 'Old Fashioned Way.'

Everything that goes down in movies always seems so picture-perfect. Yes, there's plenty of conflict along the way, but after a wild ride with the protagonist, the issues get resolved and everyone lives happily ever after. But that's precisely what makes it a movie. As much as we wish everything in our lives would work out, there's no way of knowing what's going to happen, and it often doesn't work out the way we want it to. A Redditor started a thread asking fellow Redditors about classic movie things that never happen in real life, and the responses taught me a couple of things along the way. Have a look, and let us know if we missed a classic movie trope. 

Sometimes it can be difficult to format the complexity that is one's sex life into clear words. Our 'sex lives' can change a lot through the years, sometimes even throughout the week. It's not so easy to explain how active, or inactive someone is sexually. Perhaps the best way to do it is by referencing another storyline that we can thoroughly relate to.

On Reddit, people are describing their sex lives using only movie titles. Maybe there's a 70's film out there that is better at explaining our sexy times than we can.

When you hear "high school movie," what pops into your head? Mean Girls, right? What's that? The Breakfast Club? Booksmart? Shhh, no, it's Mean Girls. Mean Girls pops into your head. Stop disagreeing with me, there's only one right answer here! Anyway, have you thought about how much more savage the Plastics would be with modern social media at their disposal? Like, Tinder, for example. In a way, Tinder is just a digital Burn Book where everyone writes their own pages, right? Don't you think? I said stop disagreeing with me!! Well...here's what the characters' Tinders would look like, just read them and you'll see what I mean.

Frances McDormand absolutely killed it at the Oscars last night, winning her third Oscars award for her performance in Nomadland. Everyone tuning in on Twitter was not only impressed by her performance and three Oscars, but also due to her super lowkey appearance and hilariously quirky energy at Oscars 2021. She looked confident AF wearing zero makeup in a simple black dress, essentially barking to the rooftops after winning her Oscar. In her speech, she also gave a shoutout to movie theaters, and how we must revive them after what the owners have endured in the past year. Scroll down for the best tweets celebrating Frances McDormand from the past year. 

Award shows are always unpredictable, but now that the world is completely flipped upside down, there's an additional fun layer of 'What the hell is going on?' at every televised event. Still, for many of us, it's an evening we can all take to pretend things are almost back to normal, and find comfort in all of the mishaps and uncomfortable speeches that consistently take place. This year there were no falls on the red carpet, or awards that had to be revoked. But there were definitely a lot of other things to comment on. Twitter thankfully covered all the bases very quickly.

Everything always looks better in the movies. Women have naturally blown-out hair, flawless skin, and super cool professions that they're crazy passionate about. In the media world, there's never a dull day at work, which we all know couldn't be farther from the truth. A Reddit user started a thread about what media gets wrong about people's jobs, and the women of Reddit really pulled through on this one. Scroll down to find out if everything you've been seeing in the movies has been one big lie. 

Simply put, Legally Blonde is, and will forever be, iconic. But we all knew that. What you might not have already known is that it's been exactly 20 years since it was released! It's now becoming clearer than ever that this movie was seriously ahead of its time. A female protagonist who seeks further education whilst consistently sticking to who she is. She changed for no man! It's basically the opposite storyline as Sandra Dee's in Grease. Sorry, but it's true.

Before you rewatch Legally Blonde for the 50th time, let's enjoy these spot-on tweets.

There are a lot of amazing actors out there, some of them, however, have one very successful role and that becomes all that they are recognized for cough cough, Ferris Bueller, cough cough. There are other movie stars that are able to completely transform themselves into every role that comes their way, sometimes to the point that you forget who the actor even was in the first place.

The newest way to explain how some actors just 'get it,' is by tweeting some of their famous roles and saying, 'They UNDERSTOOD the assignment.' It might not make sense to you now, but, rest assured, after you see a couple of these, it'll start to make sense.

In the last couple of years, 'Netflix and Chill' has become a staple in our internet meme vernacular. In case you're from another planet and need to gain more insight into Earth's strange culture, 'Netflix and Chill' is actually code for going over to someone's house and hooking up while a mediocre film plays in the background. So for those of you that were looking forward to watching a film, sorry in advance. Make plans for another night. People on Twitter have been bringing back the phrase in their own quirky ways, and we're so here for it. Scroll down to get a gist of what we mean. 

It's no secret that nerds have been taking the world by storm. After all, where TF would we be without Steve Jobs and his crazy innovative contributions to the world?! Probably sending nude photographs via snail mail or something along those lines - ain't nobody got time for that! I'd take brains over brawns any day - not to mention the money comes along with all the genius ideas going on in their nerd heads. I'm not a gold digger, but I'm also not not a gold digger either. The sexy nerd isn't a new phenomenon. They've been blossoming in pop culture for the past couple of decades. Even though these characters don't really exist, we haven't stopped thinking about them since we first saw them on-screen. We've compiled a list of the sexiest fictional nerds of all time for your viewing pleasure below. 

Romantic comedies are classics. Even though they all seem to have the same plot, they're still our guilty pleasure and we can't help coming back for more. Whether it be the generic plot or the extremely unrealistic events in the movie, the genre is very easy to make fun of. Another thing we love doing when it comes to this genre is yearning for the rom-com lifestyle when our lives are unfortunately anything but. The rom-com comes up on Twitter plenty, and naturally, we documented the best tweets about rom-coms from this week. Scroll down to check 'em out. 

With Valentine's day recently out of the way, we've now entered the yearly 8-month limbo before Halloween. The Valloween Lull, as it is popularly called by absolutely no one, is a difficult time during which we languish with neither romance nor terror to stimulate us. So to tide you over, let's talk about a uniquely Valloween-appropriate phenomenon: sex in horror movies. It's a well-documented trope that having sex in a horror film is a surefire way to get killed, especially if you're a woman...unlike in real life, where women NEVER get backlash for their sexual choices. So, gentle reader, grab some tea and a cozy blanket, and let's have look at the sexiest sex scenes just before the murderiest murder scenes on film!

Sometimes it can be so difficult to watch movies with the most unrealistic plot-lines and characters. But it also can be really hilarious as well. Like how do these directors think we are buying these ideas? It can become so predictable, maybe they know though that we secretly crave a little predictability in our films, especially these days when everything else in the world is an utter mess. These Twitter users completely matched the absurdity of these films in their tweets.
