Dating Hijinks: On My Very First Date, It Was Mostly About The Polka Dots

I got out of the car, sweeping my skirt up in the process and walked to the door. My first date was officially over and it was so unremarkable that I knew then that John Hughes films had killed real life for me. More »

I Remember Prom: It Was Neither Pretty Nor Pink

Having seen Pretty in Pink easily 100 times since I was ten years old, I looked forward to my prom. However, when it actually rolled around some nine years later after the release of my favorite Molly Ringwald movie, I had lost interest in the entire concept – it didn’t help that the Beastie Boys were playing the same night and I felt that might be a wee bit more important.

Film in the 80s pretty much rocked. Rocked so much, in fact, that pretty much every good movie is being re-made or sequelized (yes, I made that word up and yes, you wish you did too). Footloose, the re-make, just wrapped filming and now there’s talk of a Top Gun 2.

Goose was pretty cute too. Now that I think about it, I’d prefer Goose over the boring Maverick because he’s loyal, hilarious and he can totally sing. I love a man who can serenade me. Which got me thinking: what other characters from 80s movies would I want to date? A lot of them are John Hughes creations, but who can blame me? More »
