your childhood is disappearing.
also, i never knew until i youtubed this scene (which always struck me as nicely out-of-sync with the rest of the movie) that the music in the background is an instrumental version of "please, please let me get what i want" by the smiths.

pretty in pink was my favorite film and of course just ahead of justine bateman for 80's dream girl for me was the lovely molly ringwald.
the music in this part is by dream academy i have it if you want it. i read about this over the spring interesting theory about ferris being a figment of cameron's imagination ala fight club. i'd have to rewatch it to see if it holds up.

i love weird theories like that. i'm not sure i buy the sloan angle entirely, but i do like that the movie ends up with cameron as the central conflict instead of ferris. there are funny little pockets of sophistication in that flick...
also, justine bateman is still super cute. she was on arrested development a few times. my crush remains in tact.
