Yay finished draft!
I am disgusted at my commute and my general life right now, but it is all tied in with the shittiness that is the MBTA.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

You can do it, Suzi!

What is even happening?
Happy Birthday, juliana!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, GOD, anyone remember Red Dawn?(The Russians are coming!) First PG-13 movie I ever saw. I thought I was SO FUCKING COOL!
LOVED! I also loved War Games.
Valley Girl ! Oh my god, I adored that movie. Went out and bought a Plimsouls album, even.I don't know what it is about it. It's just my perfect love. Now that I'm thinking about the Plimsouls, it probably is the music. I can't believe I called it "Valley Girls" before. I know better.
She's cool. He's hot. She's from the Valley. He's not.

Loved War Games. Also Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, although that may have been because Ally Sheedy was the only celebrity that people ever thought I looked like.

16 Candles, Desperately Seeking Susan, Lost Boys? Loved them all.
Oh yes. And Red Dawn, love.
Dirty Dancing is pretty much watch from the hall from start to finish for me.

Oh yes, and Desperately Seeking Susan, which is in a few major feminist film theory articles so I need make no excuses when I rewatch.

Hey. New board.
I shall now rank the movies that I've seen that people are talking about, in order (from most to least) of my love:
1) Say Anything. Which I just saw a couple of weeks ago and loved MASSIVELY. Which makes sense, seeing as I love John Cusack MASSIVELY, and I love shy nerdy girls MASSIVELY. I want to hug and squeeze this movie and call it George.
2) The Breakfast Club. Just because it's so well done, pretty much throughout. Though the makeover is very much a "huh" for me.
3)Ferris Bueller. "Anyone? Bueller?" Sarah Jessica Parker does NOT deserve him.
4) Sixteen Candles. Because, despite the insipidness of shy sophomore who doesn't think she's pretty but is an 80s icon loves the secretly smart, shy, and nice senior quarterback and then thy get together... it's so cute. And she gives the nerd her panties. And the grandparents are funny.
5) Grease. The music is catchy and Rizzo is FUCKING AWESOME. I do rather hate both main characters, though. Still. "It's raining... on prom night..."
6) Pretty in Pink. I just... didn't like it. Duckie was annoying, and Blaine was stupid, and his friends were painfully dickish, and nothing about the movie struck me as even remotely fun to watch. The only thing I liked was Iona's dad, and even that would've gotten old really fast. I'm with the "Blaine sucks but he's MUCH better than Duckie" camp here, though - kid was obnoxious to the point of serious rudeness way too many times.
I have memorized the soundtrack to the Broadway version of Footloose, but have not seen the movie (it's on Netflix). I've seen enough of Dirty Dancing to know I don't care about the rest. I don't think I've seen Desperately Seeking Susan. As far as other (late) 80s movies - hello, where's the Heathers love?
