Fuck Eric Stoltz, I wanted to be MSM.
Well, being MSM should help with fucking Stoltz.
Uh, story-wise.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This. (and why is the remodel always a blandification?)
Didn't Sandy get remodelled from a bland Sandra Dee stereotype into an edgy leather-wearing temptress?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

Always Anti-fascist!
But he changed too. Not just her.

He did, but then he unchanged. Hence, the removal of the letterman's sweater. If he's have just kept it on...
I may be projecting my bad mood onto John Travolta. Effer.

True...and he could still pass more easily than she could in the torpedo bra. But I always kind of thought that was about love helping them find stuff they already had. Have I been wrong all this time?

Per the NY Times today, Alida Valli died (I'd link but it requires registration). She was 84. Definitely best known for THE THIRD MAN, but she also major roles in EYES WITHOUT A FACE and SUSPIRIA. I always had a thing for her after seeing THE THIRD MAN (and Hitchcock's THE PARADINE CASE, though it's not a good movie).

Ann, that's a ferret.
I always thought the message of that movie was "put out" not "conform".
Agreed. Because that outfit went well beyond anything the Pink Ladies usually wore.

She was conforming to his ideal. That's enough for me.
