-why does Blaine like Andie? She comes across as whiny, self obsessed and bossy
-James Spader wears horrible 'boat' shoes when he and Duckie fight
- Duckie is adorable but mildly stalkerish. After watching this I embarrassingly admit to then flicking on Two and a Half Men and gazing fondly at Alan
-we all love it (I hope): Duckie's lip synching/song scene is hilarious, in particular his crotch thrusting while on the stairs
- love the outdated computer and 'chat' Blaine and Andie use
-also love Annie Potts in the movie. Why does she change for the pet shop owner date? Her style was awesome as it was, instead of wearing that awful blazer and hairstyle
-I kind of creepily like the fight Blaine and Andy have at the locker. It's not pretty, it's not succinct it just...is.
- I still love the little conversation between Duckie and Andie's dad. Overall I think Duckie actually comes off as age appropriate (for the decade) and authentic while Blaine's friends were all one dimensional biatches.
- I get Andie is the 'responsible one' since mommy dearest left but seriously? Waking her dad up every morning, forcing him to get out on the job hunt trail, then rejecting his egg breakfast the one time he gets up early himself? That's just mean.
- it's been said before but her prom dress is fugly. She ruined 2 better looking dresses to create that monstrosity
- what does it say when the test audiences reject the orginal ending of duckie and andie becoming a couple? That we want to see a couple against the norm make it? That we believe duckie and andie would never be anything more than friends seriously? That one half of a couple should not idolise the other? These are questions I should not be pondering in a John Hughes movie (RIP)

I do agree on the dress. It looked like a pink potato sack. Yet, the movie pretended that it was the greatest gown ever.
Hated the dress...ugh! But, loved James Spader even as the A-hole Steff. Spader rocks!
Agree on the dress. I never liked Spader even though I usually like bad boy types. I've never liked him for some reason.
I also want to say that I've been thinking about this movie a lot b/c of Ducky...and the Ducky in the BSC related series California Diaries.
I never understood why she had to take care of her father either. I think that was the most bizarre thing about the film.
The dress was weird to me too, but maybe we just aren't cool enough to understand how fashionable it is or something.
I think the dress may have been acceptable at the time but still not the masterpiece everyone made out.
