Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Bwah!

Gronk. I slept way too late today, but it was too hot to get up and move.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Dirty Dancing is a wonderful movie. A dozen different relationships are set up and resolved (even in the case of Mrs. Houseman/Gillmore who really could have had more than those three lines). It touches on class and bigotry without being preachy. You've got emerging sexuality of the two sisters without it being purient. The girl who gets an abortion is not a big whore, she's actually a sympathetic character. -- And its wrapped in a nice sweaty package that unsuspecting hormonal people will watch a bagillion times without realizing how political it really is.
As far as Pretty in Pink, I always assumed that about eighteen months later Duckie came out of the closet.

My 80's touchstone flicks were HEATHERS, REPO MAN, BEETLEJUICE, and a number that definitely don't qualify as teen flicks: BRAZIL, BUCKAROO BANZAI, RAISING ARIZONA, BLUE VELVET, SOMETHING WILD, STOP MAKING SENSE. Also, top guilty pleasure 80's flick? CRIMES OF PASSION.

Always Anti-fascist!
Love Dirty Dancing, but have had to tell myself to quit watching it so much. But I think Trudy's right.First time I saw Lennie Briscoe it was a trip because I felt like Dr> H. got smartmouthed. I believe it was supposed to be skeevy...that moment with Diane and her dad. But it was telling, I think, that the first time I saw it, I was almost envious of that. Because I was starting to feel estranged from my dad, and I was one of those annoying young girls who told her mom everything. It looks different when you actually have private shit.

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.
Wrody McWrod Wrod on that. I swear the rush hour trains I usually take (either the 5:55 or the 6:10) haven't left on time in weeks. Any time there's a huge crowd of people on the platform at North Station when I walk in I know the trip is going to suck hard (and that at least one car on the train is going to have "issues").

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My 80's touchstone flicks were Ladyhawke, Princess Bride, Return of the Jedi, and Somewhere in Time. Sensing a theme, here? I studiously avoided Brat Pack movies, and until a few years ago had only seen Breakfast Club and She's Having a Baby. I had no use for teen drama when I was a teen, and now that I'm very much not, I can't even stand Romeo and Juliet.
