Girls just wanna have fun...

Here are some stills from yet another wonderfully bad 80s movie.  I don't know why, but lately I'm really addicted to the COMMAND SHIFT 3 keys.  I can't watch anything without taking a few screenshots...so, I feel like it's all (sort of) worth it if I 

post them on here.  

So, all in all, this movie is pretty corny and unbelievable.  The only believable thing in this movie is SJP's character.  She's so endearingly awkward and shy, yet sarcastic/smartass-like.  I love that in a girl.  Oh, I guess the fact that SJP can dance irl is pretty unbelievable---you'll notice that most dance shots were taken from like, 100 feet away.  

Anyways, it's on Instant.

My favorite use of a "GJWHF" sample.

Sidenote: Helen Hunt and a very young Shannon Doherty are also in this movie. 90s tv stars all over the place.

Any Wednesday

Fitting for a Wednesday post, here's some stills from the 1966 movie (adapted from a Broadway play) Any Wednesday.  What honestly drew me to this movie was the cover, but the fact that it stars Jane Fonda made me actually add it to my queue.  I tried to get my boyfriend to watch this with me one night, but did not succeed.  

Anyways, it's about a woman who is sort of coaxed into getting with this married man that is basically scum.  He has this "thing" where he pretends he goes out of town every Wednesday and those are his "free days" to cheat on his wife.  He's really rich, so I guess he has that going for him....but basically he's an asshole.  

 He wins her over by visiting her everyday when she's in the hospital for "the hepatitis". (???)

Cool brown polka dot headscarf!

Oh, and she loves being surprised by an apartment full o' balloons.

 She has a DREAM apartment...this is apparently in the middle of Manhattan.  She has a courtyard??  What?  Where do I find me that?

 

Cute ponytail.

(SPOILER ALERT) 

 Some other dude pulls the balloon trick and wins her over.

THE END.

Modern Girls

I have a serious Netflix instant addiction. I can't sit at home without having something playing in the background. This Friday I chose an 80s gem called "Modern Girls". Watch as two (and sometimes three) girls drag around "nice guy with a borrowed sweet ride" to all the hot LA clubs. Romance and crazy hi jinx ensue.

Sitting in a room ready a magazine about Bruce Willis?? Anyway, how dreamy is that room?

I wanted a Pacer so bad in high school. Mostly because of this.

Why were the 80s SO EIGHTIES. Every mainstream movie or music video (or music, for that matter) is so blatantly 80s. The crazy hair, the goofy sidekick friend with "wacky style", overloaded accessories....overloaded EVERYTHING. I dunno, I kinda love it, though. The nostalgia of it all. Even though I was barely even born yet.
