Day 12 – A movie that you hate

Pretty in Pink. I’m so angry at it that I’m not even going to put the title in bold! I hate, hate, hate, double hate, LOATHE ENTIRELY!
Well…not that much. But RRRGH IT STILL INFURIATES ME. I’ve seen it more times than some movies I actually like, hahaha. This makes me kind of an expert on hating it.

It’s frustrating because the plot sets you up with an independent, smart, cool chick named Andie who you get to know and like as she deals with a lot of highschool crap like a boss. Then you’ve got *spoilers* her best friend, Mr. Effortlessly Rad, who just goes by ‘Duckie’ in the movie because he’s that modest about his awesome. He’s in love with Andie, and she either dismisses it as him being silly or is actually unaware. Andie’s poor and gets made fun of by richer girls sometimes, and gets hit on all the time by a rich asshat dude. He’s got this weird hatelust for her. Then, Andy’s at work (a local record store) when in walks Prince Charming Who Happens to Be Rich. PCWHBR kind of exchanges awkward flirty looks and smalltalk with Andy for a lil bit, then leaves. Later, he flirts with her in what I’ll admit was a clever-but creepy-way at school when they’re in the computer room. She’s at work when he somehow breaks into the system and starts anonymously chatting with her. She’s all, ‘Do you know who I am?’ and he responds with a picture of her. Without explaining how he got it. They talk more and officially meet in person and everything, but it…it’s still a bit creepy…

A little later, they start dating. One night, Prince Charming is driving Andy home and they get in an argument because he wants to drop her off at her door and she’s too embarrassed to admit her reluctance at him seeing where she lives because it’s in a less-than-scenic area of town. He gets offended and blah blah blah. 

Turns out that Prince is best friends with Rich Asshat. Who gets on his case about seeing Andie a lot.

Eventually, Blane flakes out on calling Andie and stuff, she confronts him, and they split. Rich Asshat bothers Andie again, and Duckie (who Andy’s fought with and been less friendish with because of the relationship with Charming) defends her honour with his fists. Duckie is way awesome.
A bit later, Charming is at Rich Asshat’s house and R.A. is giving him crap for ever associating with Andie. He doesn’t defend her, just kinda stands there and takes it.

It’s prooooom! Andie, who has made a dress for herself, goes bravely by herself (“I just want them to know that they didn’t break me.”) even though she knows that rich douchebag, her ex, and those shallow girls who make fun of her will all totally be there. She arrives, and sees Duckie waiting for her on the steps. Even though she was kind of harsh with him and rejected him, he still came to make sure she had a fun night! Yes! They’re smiling at each other and walking into the main room. Scene goes over to Prince Charming and Rich Asshat, who notice Andie across the room. R.A. sneers about her again and P.C. fiiiiinally stands up against him and leaves the table. He walks over to Andie, hardly acknowledges Duckie but speaks to Andie, saying,

“You said you couldn’t be with someone who didn’t believe in you. Well I believed in you. I just didn’t believe in me. I love you… always.” 
Then he walks away, apparently giving up right after saying that! Ahhhh! Andie looks torn, and Duckie selflessly tells her to go after him. She hesitates, but after slight urging, thanks him and leaves. Duckie is coolly trying to master his hurt when he looks across the room and sees a blonde girl indicate interest in him. Meanwhile, Andie catches up with Prince Charming and they make up and kiss.

It just…I think Duckie deserved better than a girl at the last second who we don’t get to know, and Andie deserved better than a guy who put her through all that grief, got over his misgivings, then still gave up at the last moment! Rrrrr.

…Also, Prince Charming is cute and all but his eyes look a little buggy and offended through most of the movie.

Elf. Will Ferrell changed my mind on how to eat spaghetti.
