u know that parlor trick of reciting movie lines and making people guess what movie it's from? well, i hate that fucking game. i suck at it. i love movies, but my brain doesn't capture like that. song lyrics, yes, movie lines, no. UNLESS is is from one of the following: Purple Rain, Truth or Dare, Somewhere in Time, or Grease 2. those are the only movies i've watched ad nauseam, a requirement for me to quote.
anyway, this is what totally on my mind. Grease 2 is Grease, in reverse, with campy badness. i totally love it. this time, the exchange student is a boy, hunky Maxwell Caulfield, (Sandy's British cousin) who falls for bad girl Pink Lady leader Stefanie Zinnoni (Michelle Pfeiffer in her first lead role), who just broke up with bad boy T-Birds leader Johnnie Nogarelli (Adrian Zmed). okay --this is the part i was getting to -- Stefanie broke up with Johnnie over the summer, before the movie started. and though he's now macking on Paulette Rubecheck (Lorna Luft, the best 35-year-old high school student ever cast!), he won't accept that Stefanie broke up with him. she keeps telling him, the whole movie long, and he doesn't get it. he's pretty, and slow like that. and i keep thinking about that. how he just doesn't get it. funny. or weird. not weird weird, but weird.
can i get some more ketchup?
