Hello all, I saw the John Hughes discussion, and I couldn't help mention something that has always bugged me. Does anyone else feel Duckie gets a raw deal at the end of Pretty in Pink? Here he is, a nice guy in love with his best friend. She falls for some hunky rich guy whom she doesn't know, and poor Duckie is stuck with Annie Potts. Sure, he acts like a jerk, but only because the plot forces him to. In the end, he does the noble thing and lets her go. What is his reward? James Spader's skanky left-overs. Are we really to believe he just forgets about Molly for that blond 80's whore? I can't help but like the movie. With New Order, the Furs, OMD, and of course, the smiths on the soundtrack, who can complain? The best 80's teen movie is "Say Anything..." though. I can't even begin to describe it's greatness. All you lucky UK folks! I have to wait quite some time to hear Johnathan David and Carriage Clock. Does anyone know when they will be on John Peel? Peace out -Matt "there are more wipes than the star wipe" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
