Oct 10th 2010 3:12PM Gotta love the cat. Appearing condescendingly, beautifully smug and unamused by antics reserved for dog lovers.

Jun 19th 2010 3:33PM I can't believe how some people still she must be a latina simply because she's light-skinned. Just because she dyed her hair blonde doesn't automatically mean she's latina. Although black like latin skins come in a variety of shades/tones.

'ThunderCats' to Prowl Cartoon Network in 2011 {AOL TV}

Jun 6th 2010 8:05AM No the 80's were fine...in the 80's. Now that all of the kids of that time HAVE children they've got to age the rest of us who don't by inundating their children with what they grew up on. Instead of just appreciating it they are playing dress up and Hollywood is cashing in on the trend through endless, tired remakes. Since children are the perfect mimickers we now have this reahashing of all that was once original. How about teaching your children how to innovate instead of teaching them to usurp your culture and water it down. Look out the 90's are next.

May 16th 2010 12:25PM So what if the book offered the easier, more predictable ending of Andie and Duckie as a match? The movie was changed because, hey, let's face it Blaine was hotter and therefore the box office was better. It wasn't marketing to us as older women in our 30's and 40's, now with our "really nice regular, working class Joe heros", the men we've settled for as husbands now. It was marketing to the whims of crushes and our first loves, the stuff being a teen is about. Also like most movies the ending in the movie was tested and passed. John Hughes obviously knew what most of us wanted to see THEN. The man was no dumnmy. If you're looking at the movie as grown women, now forced to expose your daughters to the film because of the 80's revival "trend" we are now seeing, sure you may see something skewed. Try not to ruin it for yourselves or them.

May 16th 2010 12:00PM The simple fact of the matter is the movie was filmed already and with the right ending. That's why it is the cult classic it is. MOST females who saw the movie knew Blaine was right. Knowing someone for a long time doesn't necessarily make them great romance material. No one was "buying" Duckie because while he had integrity, she didn't want to @$#^&! the Duck. Sure he might have made the better husband in the end but the movie doesn't go into what-if's and beyond high school. Also Molly Ringwald's character (not actually her, so her aging doesn't matter) in the movie, was about a high school girl FALLING in love not having the love and loyalty of her long-time friend. Duckie would have been settling. Boring.

May 16th 2010 11:02AM The alternative ending was just corny. She would have never ended up with Duckie, except out of pity and they were friends. It would have not been ironic at all, completed expected and way too formulaic. More imporantly the film was basically a movie for young women at the time. I didn't know one girl in school whose fantasy it was to end up with her good-natured but poor, desperately needy, love-sick friend. That's just the reality.
