Sinister: Why eat hamburger when you can eat STEAK?

[* carla *]

hi

i never post really but i thought id contribute to the pretty in pink 
commentary. i totally agree that duckie gets a bum deal. whenever my friends 
& i would watch that movie we'd always get sooo pissed off that molly winds 
up with stupid rich boy in the end. we all loved duckie, you see.
i found out that actually the movie was supposed to end with molly and 
duckie together! she was supposed to tell rich boy to fuck off and go to the 
prom with duckie instead. it turns out that molly ringwald made them change 
it cos she thought her character should have the good-looking rich guy. 
which kinda upset me cos until that point i always really liked her. i still 
do, but not as much now..
