She wound up with Blaine, not Duckie, in the actual ending.

John Hughes made Some Kind of Wonderful as a reaction to the change in Pretty in Pink's ending. The Eric Stoltz character was the poor person with soul, like Molly Ringwald's character. Lea Thompson was the pretty rich one, like Andrew McCarthy. Mary Stuart Masterson was the friend/Duckie equivalent. This time,…

The age of consent is 17 in New York, so his behavior in the movie isn't actually criminal.

The Matt Dillon character was such a moron. She could have done better. Surely, Campbell Scott had a cute friend at the office?

So you're cool with people being unable to escape their abusers? Kids are forced to stay with molesting parents in your fun world. Do you really think that's going to improve society?

Rizzo thought she was pregnant, but announced that she wasn't when she was on a Ferris wheel. I never imagined anything about Sandy being pregnant.

I have liked both actors in other things, but I can't imagine volunteering to watch any of those movies again.

Duckie was kind of wimpy in his whole mooning over Andie shtick. Also, just about every Jon Cryer character seems like he might come out of the closet at any moment. Meanwhile, Andrew McCarthy was totally cute. Team Blaine, all the way.

Well, he was willing to change into a varsity sweater-wearing jock, so it went both ways.

I saw Reality Bites in the theater when it came out. At the time, I definitely preferred the Ethan Hawke character. On a recent re-watching, he seemed pretty lazy and the Ben Stiller character didn't seem so bad. I guess I can see that she didn't want a slickly produced MTV bit from her "serious" documentary, but…

I saw that movie on TV after all the hype, and, while the acting was good, I agree with you on not loving Nicholson's character at any point.

Dave Chappelle's show was funny and made a social point. This wasn't funny unless they were trying to portray the characters as morons. I thought it was supposed to be a show about a semi-realistic family, not a house full of idiots.

Did you miss the part about me being old? I watched plenty of sitcoms prior to 2009, and the whole laugh track thing was certainly on its way out before then.

I thought she was a hacky sitcom actress from Suddenly Susan, but I watched her first Comedy Central special and it was a lot funnier than I expected. She's not talentless, but this picture was definitely a stupid choice.

I wish someone else in my family liked cheeseburgers. I'll be going in that general direction this summer.

Not to give the birthers any credit about their bogus racist conspiracy theories, but there is a potential legal issue if he had been born outside the US. It was certainly brought up regarding Ted Cruz, who was born to an American mother in Canada.

I still wonder why the right thinks being a social justice warrior is bad. Would they prefer not to have social justice?

If I had to have a celebrity's life, I'd pick one whose work was not so cheesy.

Perhaps they saved the point for the last 20 minutes that I didn't stick around for, but all the jokes I remember were about 3 minutes of variations on "black people don't read, except for Essence at the dentist's office", someone wanted a Kindle not to read but to watch movies, and "black people don't drive Subaru." …

Most white Americans who have ancestors here prior to the 20th century are a mix of different groups. My husband would have to identify as an English-Irish-German-Russian Jew-American. That sure would take a long time to say.
Incidentally, the vast majority of African-Americans have some percentage of European…
