There's nothing better than a Teti PR review. OWL forever.

Don't even joke about that.

I was just the right age to really, really love Good Will Hunting when it came out. I know we kind of joke about it now, but that movie was really important to me as a young teenager. Dead Poet's Society, too. RIP.

I got into watching America's Worst Tattoos when I was in the hospital, actually. I don't have a tattoo myself, but the process seemed much worse than getting an IV threaded and/or central line inserted. There is something comforting in that.

Work of Art was canceled after the second season. It was too good to last.

I was 27 years old when I went to New York for the first time. Literally the only thing I cared about was going to the Met and trying to find the bed Claudia and Jamie slept in.

This book and The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler are tied for top, for me.

Pretty much any dance movie or television show. Center Stage, Step Up, Bunheads, Dance Academy - as long as there's a climatic final dance number, I am happy.

I like the people whose signs say "Let's be honest, I just want a beer". There was a guy in SLC who did that for awhile and I always saw people donating to him.

Daphne does have an impressive resume and a good story, but being a Kennish would likely disqualify her from any substantial financial aid. She could still get a scholarship, but a need-based financial aid package is out of the picture.

Andrew McCarthy is my favorite in life. But Hollywood Montrose is obviously the best part of Mannequin.

That dude is a charisma-suck. I honestly don't understand his popularity.

Sadly, no. It's a bit like Degrassi, but set at an elite ballet academy in Sydney (gorgeous locations!). I love it, but not in the way I loved Bunheads.

I love Dance Academy and I love finding other people who do too!

Thanks! I think I've seen this before, but I am always for anything to do with the Monkees.

Tell me where I can find it!

Lots of "I <3 NY" shirts and magnetic yellow ribbons on the back of cars, too.

That is terrifyingly prescient.

Yay! This news gets only unbridled enthusiasm from me.

I was mostly too young for this column, though I've enjoyed reading it. But the scene you describe this week is where I found myself as a 14 year old. The Get Up Kids, The Ataris all those bands were what I clung to when I was "the weird girl". Thursday and Saves the Day was the first non-local show I saw. Looking at
