I Finally Watched 'Pretty in Pink'

Recently, I finally watched the iconic 80's rom-com, #PrettyinPink. Here are my thoughts.

Recently, I realized that as much as I love movies and TV, I haven’t watched a lot of the classics. So, I decided I wanted to start watching all the classic rom-coms first. To do this, I started watching them by streaming them over discord with some online friends. Thanks to everyone over on the ARIA 51 discord server that made my first-time watching experience better, by the way. Last time, I…

“Quack”

"Anthony Edward Stark," a voice yelled. Steve's heart fluttered in his chest at the sound of it. He turned, just as Stark yelped and ducked behind the couch, spilling popcorn everywhere. Both Miss Potts and Romanoff snorted into their drinks, while Steve watched, half aching and half ecstatic at the sight of the furious glare that once had him tripping over his feet. It didn't matter that the woman he once loved (still loved) was already touching eighty or that she had built a whole life without him. Margaret Elizabeth Carter was and will be his best girl.

"Peggy?"

She spared Steve a glance, then resumed her march towards the lounge where most of the Avengers lay sprawled about. He stared, suddenly feeling nervous. Why was she here? Did Fury tattle about his and Stark's awful argument in the helicarrier? He was hoping to get to know the man better. From the way things played out during the battle, Steve must've judged the man terribly wrong. Not that Stark didn't give as good as he get. But they were both trying to do better. For the team. And well, once you got over the whole narcissistic, spoiled rich man schtick, Stark was fun to hang around with.

He didn't want all the progress to be unmade. Even if it made him happy that Peggy was here to defend him.

"Tony," Peggy called, straightening right in front of the couch after Potts amicably pointed towards it. Her hands were on her waist, eyes sharp and lips tucked downwards unpleasantly. Yet, Steve noticed there was also something soft and vulnerable in her gaze.

His heart would've melted at the sight, if Stark hadn't chosen that exact moment to pop his head from the back of the couch. If Steve weren't still smarting over his lost time, he would've found the little wave and soft ", hello," Stark offered Peggy adorable.

As it were, he didn't find it adorable. And instead Steve slouched in the bar stool he was sitting on, mouthing at the bottle of beer he had been offered earlier.

"Don't hello me, young man. And get up. This is no way to greet your elderly."

Steve saw Potts, Rhodes and Romanoff stiffle their laughter behind their drinks, saw Stark squeak and stumble till he was standing and Steve felt a little like he was intruding on something.

"Um," Stark started as his hands swung back and forth by his side idly. "Hello, ma'am."

Peggy raised a perfectly shaped brow at that.

"Ma'am? Since when do you call me that, Ducky?"

Wait. Ducky?

"Well you do look like you're gonna take me to school, Aunt Pegs!"

Aunt?

"What's happening?"

Peggy turned towards Steve, her face a stormy canvas of fury, hurt and worry. Behind her, Stark shot him a glare and made a cutting motion with his hand over his neck.

"Steve, darling."

Stark smacked his head with his palm when Steve perked up.

"Yeah, Peggy?"

"Shut up."

Someone masked their laughter as a cough. And because his new team had no respect left for him after the Shwarma incident, Romanoff smirked and toasted him with her fruity cocktail.

"And you," Peggy raised her voice again, turning towards Stark so fast that all of them flinched.

"I pulled on so many threads to keep you out of Shield business! I went to Fury, Coulson and even Romanoff to make sure they don't loop you in on their dirty schemes. And then, Tony, guess what? I switch on the TV, hoping to catch up on my sunday drama and see my godson flying a nuke through a hole in the sky!"

"A wormhole," Stark corrected and then winced when Peggy's glower turned vicious. "Sorry?"

"I had to endure three days of Mister Jarvis stress baking. Do better than sorry."

"Um-"

"We didn't know if you lived. Or died-" Peggy trailed off, her voice wavering at the end. "No one told us."

She sighed, suddenly looking every bit of her age. And Steve felt his heart break all over again. Though for an entirely different reason than earlier. Even Stark, who was usually so blaze about everything, was looking at her with equal parts guilt and shame.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'll-" He frowned, tapped on the reactor. A gesture Steve recognized as a nervous habit. "I'll tell J to inform you next time. Um, before-"

"No, Ducky. No next time. We can't. You're not doing this again!"

"Can't promise that, you know."

"You worry me. You and him both."

Stark smiled. His eyes were glittering and sharp as they met Steve's.

"Well, that's one thing we have in common."

Peggy sighed, still glaring at Stark like she wasn't done with him yet. Steve mulled over on how he missed this. They were so alike. Both with their snappy wits, eyes that promised hellfire and defiance. It was oddly comforting to him. And even if he'd never admit it to anyone else, he liked Peggy's Godson a whole lot more than Howard's son.

"Come on, Aunt Pegs. We're celebrating! Stopped the end of the world. You know-" Stark offered her his hand and she took it, though she still looked like she wanted to hit him. "Romanoff was telling me about this movie-"

Steve sighed, settling into his seat for a long day. His drink had lost its charm somewhere, so he placed it back on the counter where Barton was going through various cabinets, nursing his own brew. Steve left him to it. The day had been long and the archer did spend a long time under mind control. Besides, maybe he could find Steve something he'd like to drink rather than just tolerate.

He watched as the tension drained from Peggy's shoulders, her hands absentmindedly patting her godson's. Stark looked comfortable curled up next to her, his head laying on the back of the couch and eyes half lidded from exhaustion. Steve suspects its why Peggy let the point go. Now that he was looking, he could see the way almost dying in space took a big chunk out of Stark's energy.

Their eyes met. Sure, they were not the same rich brown he fell in love with back in the forties. But they weren't too terrible to look at either. Just like the future he got stuck in.

Watching Pretty in Pink with the understanding that Duckie is gay is the best thing ever.

Vogue: Did you always read [Duckie's] character through a queer-coded lens?

Molly Ringwald: It just always made sense, given the way that Jon decided to play him. The character was based on my best friend Matt Freeman, who ended up coming out later in life. I got him a job as a PA on Pretty in Pink when he was 20 and not quite out yet. Some of our friends suspected he might be gay, but he and I always had an extremely nonromantic relationship, and I felt the same way about Andie and Duckie.

..........................

The director wanted Andie and Duckie to be romantically involved, but that fell flat for Ringwald: EXAMPLE OF ACTRESS DIRECTING HERSELF (with clueless male director).

The producer, Laura Donner, said in the original ending Duckie and Andie go to the prom as friends and share a triumphant dance as everyone stands around and watches. This seems like the most truthful ending: romantic love doesn't always win, but friendship conquers all.

This makes 3 possible endings of the movie. My theory is that generative post readings matter and affect the fabric of space-time. This movie exists both in the era it was made and in our era. It wobbles back and forth between these possible timelines and cultural realities.

The only character who knows it's wobbling is Annie Potts. And you can tell by what she's wearing what universe we're in.

Movie Review and Spoiler - #2

“Pretty In Pink”

Starring Molly RIngwald, "Pretty In Pink" protrays the classic tale of rich boy and poor girl falling in love, against social expectations.

Andie is a bright, independent, strong, and creative teen girl, who thrives with a sewing machine and accessories. Although, she isn't the most popular, being friends with her older boss (Annie Potts), who owns the record store where she works, and her quirky classmate Duckie (Jon Cryer), who has a major, unsubtle crush on her.

How will Duckie feel about the sudden competition for his lifetime crush? Will Andie ignore or fight the bullies and those who judge her based on her wealth status? And what will happen when Blaine, the cute rich boy, has to choose between the fancy, uptight, and snooty life he's used to, and love?

Toy Story 5 Release Date: When Will Be Released?

Elemental, Turning Red, and Soul are just a few of Pixar's recent original features, but the studio isn't reluctant to revisit its established brands. Toy Story, the first Pixar picture featuring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, was released in 1995, and its spin-off starring Chris Evans, Lightyear, is expected to do well in 2022. It's been four years since the last Toy Story film, but does it mean the franchise is done for good? https://twitter.com/Kapan/status/1623481128689491970

Will There Be A Toy Story 5?

You bet! Toy Story 5 is officially in the works, along with sequels to two of Disney's other iconic brands, CEO Bob Iger announced in February 2023, over four years after the release of the fourth film in the series. You might find this article to be interesting as well Drew Carey Net Worth. With great excitement, Iger declared, "Today I'm very thrilled to reveal that we have sequels to some of our most popular brands, Toy Story, Frozen, and Zootopia, in the works from our animation studios."

Toy Story 5 Release Date

When Will Toy Story 5 Be Released?

Toy Story 5 has not yet been given a release date, but based on the pattern of past installments, we can estimate when it might hit theatres. Toy Story 4 was, for example, first announced in 2014, with a release date set for 2019. If work on the fifth picture is as lengthy as the previous four, we can anticipate its debut in theatres around the year 2028. That being the case, you may be waiting a while. Must read this article Ashton Kutcher Age. It's possible that the film's production schedule could be accelerated, and we'll update this page when new details emerge.

Toy Story 5 Cast 

Despite Chris Evans' portrayal of a different version of Buzz Lightyear in the spin-off film, Toy Story Lightyear, we can almost guarantee that Tom Hanks will return to his role as Woody in Toy Story 5. You might also be interested to read this article Billy Beane Net Worth. As mentioned above, Tim Allen appears to have already confirmed on Twitter that he will be back as Buzz. Many of the characters from Toy Story 4 could make a comeback as well, including Andy's original toys, Bonnie's toys (including Forky), and the lost toys Woody met with Bo Peep. Don Rickles and Estelle Harris, who played Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, respectively, are two actors who regretfully cannot return to their roles. We hope you like this article Zip String Net Worth. The former passed away in 2017 but made a cameo in the film's fourth installment through the use of recorded interviews with him. The latter passed away in 2022. https://youtu.be/AQkcgqiO-EE Whether the parts will be recast, the characters will be cut from the movie, or the performers will make a cameo through archive recordings is presently unknown. Must read this article Randall Emmett Net Worth. For now, here's a list of the actors we'd imagine could return for Toy Story 5: - Tom Hanks as Woody - Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear - Joan Cusack as Jessie - Annie Potts as Bo Peep - Wallace Shawn as Rex - John Ratzenberger as Hamm - Blake Clark as Slinky Dog - Jeff Pidgeon as Aliens - Tony Hale as Forky - Keegan-Michael Key as Ducky - Jordan Peele as Bunny - Keanu Reeves as Duke Caboom - Ally Maki as Giggle McDimples - Bonnie Hunt as Dolly - Kristen Schaal as Trixie - Timothy Dalton as Mr. Pricklepants - Jeff Garlin as Buttercup - Emily Davis as Billy, Goat, and Gruff - Madeleine McGraw as Bonnie - Jay Hernandez as Bonnie's dad - Lori Alan as Bonnie's mom End If you are a fan of the series “Toy Story 5 Release Date Read the full article

Rewound Review #409: Pretty in Pink A girl from the wrong side of the tracks struggles to maintain a relationship with a rich boy. I just read an interesting memoir titled "Searching For John Hughes" so I was inspired to pick one of his movies off the rack. It has been a while & although I wouldn't say this is my favorite of his high school genre films, it held up well & was a pleasure to rewatch. Molly Ringwald is a pro at playing somewhat annoying yet likable characters, I'll watch Harry Dean Stanton do pretty much anything & the 3 main dudes are perfectly cast. Annie Potts' character Iona really stuck out to me this time (maybe cause she's slightly older & thus more relatable to me than teenagers) but I was bummed that she was subjected to the whole 'give up your cool alternative style & become a normie so other people will like you' trope that Hughes was fond of. Also a bummer? My prediction of what happened after the happy ending: Blane, so easily swayed by peer pressure, dumps Andie as soon as he gets to college. Andie, as naive & self absorbed as she is, runs back to Duckie who, so desperate for her attention, totally let's her walk all over him. Even more of a bummer? That prom dress. "Breathtaking" is one way to put it if by that you mean my breath was taken away by the fact that it made me long for the somehow more visually pleasing 'full beige suit, unbuttoned shirt, loafers with no socks, feathered hair' look James Spader was sporting. P.S. This soundtrack rulz. #VHS https://www.instagram.com/p/Civ-GFSJLuy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Also this is now a  prize possession

It’s battered but it’s a 1986 run of the book, and I’m ecstatic? Pretty in pink is one of my favorite films of all time and the book is know for containing the original ending to the film-

Something something original ending is better

“Tell me what happened.” 

Pepper feels Tony’s inhale beneath her hand on his back. His breath shudders and she moves her hand up to brush through his hair. There is a moment when she doesn’t think he will tell her. That he will hide behind his mental walls and barriers, keeping her out in a way that he believes is for her own good. But he’s stopped believing that. He’s stopped a lot of habits since coming back.

“Saw the kid again.” Tony says finally. “Him and his aunt were here, at the house. Him and Morgan were playing, we were sitting on the porch. And then,” he stops and Pepper continues running her hand through his hair. Another breath and she feels his grip tighten ever so slightly around her waist. “Then I was on Titan again. And you were gone. All of you. You, May, Peter… Morgan.”

“Is that why you were in her room? To check?” Pepper asks and Tony nods his head against her chest. 

“She slipped right through my fingers and I couldn’t… Pep, I can’t-” 

“Tony.” she says, voice firmer to catch him before he spirals. He quietens and she kisses the top of his head. “We’re going to be okay. In the morning, she’ll wake us up at dawn. She’ll want to watch cartoons and eat waffles and dress up DUM-E like a princess.” Tony huffs a laugh and she smiles lightly. “And the dreams are just that - dreams.”

Toy Story 4 | Movie Review 07.07.19

Haven’t done one of these in a while. Can’t remember what was the last movie I reviewed. I’m sure I’ll remember when I’ve already posted this haha. Alright, time to get to the review.

Toy Story 4 pretty much picks up where it left off. Andy previously gave away his most valued toys to a little girl named Bonnie before leaving for college. All except for one, Bo Peep. Bonnie makes a new toy in her kindergarten out of a spork, pipe cleaners, googley eyes and some clay. This new “toy” is called Forky. The toys meet Forky in Bonnie’s room. Bonnie and her family go on a road trip and Forky, Woody and Buzz get lost on their new adventure. It is up to them to be reunited with Bonnie.

I really loved this movie! Although Toy Story 3 DID have a perfect ending. Since Bo Peep wasn’t in the last movie, her story was explained how she just ended being a lost toy. I also thought it was interesting that the movie showed Woody’s character development how he was loyal to Andy for years and when him and the rest the toys were given to Bonnie, he really didn’t want to leave her, even though she keeps leaving him in the closet and never really wanting to play with him. Woody and Bo finally reunite at the carnival and catch up with each other. Woody also helps out this doll from an antique store to find a kid that would play with her. The doll, Gabby Gabby plays a villain along with with four creepy-looking dummies for the most part. But seeing that both Woody and Gabby Gabby had a connection where they were both toys that no kid wanted to play with, Woody gives her a second chance to help her out. This movie had perfect ending as well, with Woody staying at the carnival with Bo and Buzz and the toys went back to Bonnie. Overall, I would rate this movie 5/5 stars. Great movie and I highly recommend it!

I Watch a Movie I Should Have Seen: “Pretty in Pink”

I did not know much about this movie. I only knew that some people in high school said I reminded them of “Duckie” and I knew enough to know it probably wasn’t a complement. At least not in 1995.

My thoughts:

Close-ups of a quirky, 80s girl getting ready for school start the movie. It’s sexy, yet dowdy!

How many girls got their hair cut like Molly Ringwald (Andie) in this movie and had the worst 8 months of their high school lives?

Andie dresses like a 1st grader on the 100th day of school all movie.

Andie’s mom left and she lives with her depressed, yet supportive dad. He doesn’t have steady work. They don’t have a lot of money. Andie is forced to make her own terrible clothes.

She has a pink car. OH MY GOD! When she’s driving she’s pretty IN pink! This is the greatest.

Duckie dresses a lot like Andie. He’s really into her. They say if you want to get with someone, dress exactly like them.

Duckie offers to get two girls pregnant before the holidays. One of the girls decks him. If he’s so into Andie, why would he do this? I know making someone jealous is a tactic for getting that someone to notice you, but impregnating two women is a real long con.

The rich kids are mean to the poor kids. You can tell them apart because the rich kids wear a lot of linen pants and the poor kids wear a lot of pork pie hats with blazers.

What Annie Potts dresses like throughout this movie:

Like a dominatrix that touched a static ball

Like if Madonna method acted as Evita and went to a funeral

Like Sia if she didn’t have stage fright and performed a concert in a Tim Burton movie

Like the hottest 50s teenager

Like if Cousin Larry on “Perfect Strangers” lost all his clothes in a fire and had to borrow from Balki

James Spader is a rich kid that resents Andie because she’s not into him and his richness. He wears dress shirts that only need a single button located somewhere towards the bottom.

Andrew Dice Clay plays the bouncer at the poor kid club. He doesn’t ever let Duckie in. “One little Duckie went out one day, over the hill and far away. Mother duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack.” But Duckie didn’t hear. He was blowing a load out back. OH!!!” (I’m sorry.)

Blane is a rich boy that is interested in Andie. Andie gets vibes from him that he might be different rich. Better rich.

In two consecutive scenes, Duckie asks Andie’s dad for her hand in eventual marriage and leaves 5 answering machine messages for Andie between 6 and 6:30. Duckie needs a restraining order. Are they expensive? Could Blane pay for it?

Blane asks Andie out. James Spader does not approve. Her pearl-collared cardigans would not play well with their crowd.

RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE REFERENCES ALERT: Duckie lip syncs for his life to “Try a Little Tenderness.” Unfortunately, Andie has a date with Blane so she tells Duckie to sashay away.

Duckie’s heart is broken which means it’s time to sulk in the rain!

Blane takes Andie to a rich kid party. She’s bothered by their rich judgment. They leave and go to the poor kid club. Blane’s probably bothered by all of the vests.

Blane and Andie kiss and it’s magical. Because the kiss was good, he asks her to prom.

There is a random scene with Duckie doing amazing bike tricks. Does Andie know about this? It might change everything.

The next date is at the “Hunt Club.” It’s where the rich people keep their hunting horses. Or where they hunt horses. It’s not clear.

We find out the mom always wore pink. Andie probably wears pink as a way to hold on to her. You should always wear things to remember the people in your life that sucked.

Societal pressures push Blane and Andie apart and he rescinds his prom invite. She channels her anger into making the best prom dress no money can buy.

Andie tells her dad that it’s time to stop pining for his wife. In order to let her go, he puts her picture in a drawer. The picture is in black and white. Is Andie’s dad a time traveler? If he is, the mom didn’t leave. She just had to return to her time.

Andie makes a dress that looks like what I would make if I snuck onto “Project Runway” by locking a contestant in a closet and stealing his clothes.

I would have bet all my money on James Spader having an untied bowtie at the prom and I would have been rich!

Duckie wears 3 too many rings on his hands. (He has 3 rings on his hands.)

Blane and Andie get back together at the prom and kiss in the rain to the end of the longest version of “If You Leave” I’ve ever heard. It started with like 10 minutes left in the movie.

This movie was fine. It had fun moments and moments that felt dated. They probably felt dated because they’ve been copied by so many teen movies since. Having seen this, I’m now more bothered by my high school “Duckie” comparisons.

Pretty in Pink (1986)

Date watched:  19 April 2019

So I really fucking enjoyed this - and seriously, She’s All That so totally almost ripped this off.  The plotlines are so similar.

And before I go any further I need to address the fact that I find 1980s Andrew McCarthy UNBELIEVABLY DREAMY LIKE WHAT THE FUCK

I think I’ve talked about this before but HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK HE IS SO HOT

I mean 10/10 I would bang.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG WHATTTTTTT

WHAT

SERIOUSLY HE DOES THINGS TO ME THAT I CAN’T EXPRESS IN WORDS

I don’t even KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I WANT TO MARRY HIM AND HAVE HIS BABIES???

Okay he’s like twenty years older than me IRL so obviously our love can never be BUT STILL.

Okay let’s talk plot:

Molly Ringwald is from the wrong side of the tracks, guys.  Literally.  She goes to a fancy school with a lot of rich bitches in it (James Spader, I’m looking directly at you), but young, beautiful Andrew McCarthy has been giving her the eye lately and she is HERE FOR IT.

Because why wouldn’t she be, and I’m going to reuse an above gif to illustrate my point of why she is totally into it:

See, he’s rich, but he’s not like the other ones, you know?

Anyway they kind of start dating but he’s getting pressure from his friends (James Spader, being a dick):

(Although just saying... he’s very good looking.)

And she doesn’t want him to know that she’s super fucking poor, so they have a fight, then James Spader is like, “Andrew McCarthy, you can’t date someone of a lower social status than you,” and he’s like :(

And also Jon Cryer plays Duckie and HE IS THE FUCKING WORST OF ALL TIME

Like NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU DUCKY

SHE DOESN’T WANT TO DATE YOU.  WHY CAN’T YOU JUST BE FRIENDS?  YOU ARE THE WORST.  STOP BLAMING HER FOR YOUR FEELINGS THAT ARE UNRECIPROCATED YOU ABSOLUTE DICKWAD.

Seriously FUCK DUCKIE

And WHAT, he is rewarded with young Kristy Swanson in the end?  FOR HIS ABHORRENT BEHAVIOUR?

Omg Duckie seriously go to hell you loser

ANYWAY I was getting very concerned that Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy wouldn’t make it worse, but thankfully she makes herself a hideous prom dress, meets him at prom and they get back together, and I was just so relieved that those two crazy kids were gonna make it work.

CHEMISTRY YOU GUYS

So I would rank this well above The Breakfast Club but below St Elmo’s Fire in terms of greatness.  It’s probably thus far my favourite Molly Ringwald movie.
