Dawn ,'Beneath You'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
WTF is with a movie that reinforces the idea that, in order to catch and keep A Man, you must strip, strip, strip yourself of all quirk?
That's a lot of my Grease irritation, although she wasn't quite a font of quirk. But it's the peer pressure remodel that grates.
I did like Some Kind of Wonderful despite having some of the same issues as PMM. But I think I'm helpless in the thrall of a young Stoltz.

Which is a perfectly valid reason for liking the movie. He was pretty freaking fabulous in it, despite my issues.
There is also a certain thrall to the young Mary Stuart Masterson. IJS.

This. (and why is the remodel always a blandification?)

And this.
And I actually like the soundtrack for SKoW about as much as the soundtrack for PiP.

This. Fuck Eric Stoltz, I wanted to be MSM.
wrod.
Fuck Eric Stoltz, I wanted to be MSM.
Well, being MSM should help with fucking Stoltz.
Uh, story-wise.

Didn't Sandy get remodelled from a bland Sandra Dee stereotype into an edgy leather-wearing temptress?
Yes, she totally changed who she was so the fucko greaser would love her, because obviously he wouldn't if she didn't tart herself up.

Yep. I always thought the message of that movie was "put out" not "conform". Equally offensive, but for very different reasons.
Wasn't smoking one of the new things she was doing? I wouldn't put it past the studios to digitally edit that out if they ever do a big re-release again.
