Justine Bateman and The Mystery
When I was in high school, I didn't want to be Watts or Amanda Jones or Andie or Ducky or Ally Sheedy or anyone in anything John Hughes. I wanted to be Jennie Lee from Satisfaction. Last night, I watched that movie again for the first time in forever and had a very pleasant sense-memory descent into my childhood, which involved cut-off jeans and ratted hair and dreams of a scholarship to college AND a rock'n'roll band AND an affair with a significantly older record producer named Falcon, all at the same time.
Comments
My computer froze when I was about to make a snarky comment about Ally Sheedy. Coincidence?
Anyway, I wanted so bad to be Watts, but I was out of high school, and there was no Eric Stolz.
