Am I the only one who thought Ally Sheedy looked better before the Molly-Ringwald-makeover at the end of the film?

No
 
2003-02-05 04:55:21 PM
So, obviously I've seen the edited version one too many time.
 
2003-02-05 04:55:52 PM
I've never seen the unedited version of The Breakfast Club.

I guess you missed the orgy with the famous lesbian scene then.
 
2003-02-05 04:56:22 PM
Fiver-: No, most of the people I know thought the same thing.

Ant: Probably 'Flip you'. There's a old movie called RepoMan that they sometimes show on tv late at night starring Emilio Estevez and it always cracks me up because it's dubbed in ALOT.

Ally Sheedy was quite the Basket Case archetype in that film; I'm only about 1/3 of her.

imdb sez the two ladies originally tried for the opposite roles. That's interesting.

And yes, Ms Ringwald is still quite hot. I saw her in Cabaret recently. Now I was never a fan of the musical theater (family traditions suck) and that was DEFINATELY not quite up my alley!
Still I think "Dammit! I shoulda gotten her autograph!"

Thanks for opening up old wounds. *sulk* And scary images of the show; AAARRGGGHHHH!!!

You mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Brain, Basket Case AND Criminal? How do they expect me to choose?!? :-)
 
2003-02-05 04:58:32 PM
Well, StomachMonkey, you would be type "Carl".

Most of the jock and princesses I knew turned out to be loosers after high school. High school was the best part of their lives, and it went down hill after that.

The brains and basket cases however, seemed to excel in real life. go fig.

Feudally speaking, a lord is sh** in placement. He's about 8 ranks below a prince.

FYI, eh? Heh!
 
2003-02-05 04:59:53 PM
This study proves NOTHING!!! I was a jock, a brain, and a psychopath in highschool. Yet I don't drink, I don't go to a psychiatrist, and I haven't graduated college yet and I'm freakin 24 years old!

Moly Ringwold was never hot, is not hot now and will be not hot for evermore.
 
2003-02-05 05:00:16 PM
Gimpel - no...
 
2003-02-05 05:00:31 PM
This sure explains a lot... I identified with Jon Cryer in "Pretty in Pink." I couldn't even get the fuggin' movie right. What a dork.
 
2003-02-05 05:00:47 PM
I remember the clicks in High School, but I was friends with people in every click.I never fell into the fads.Everyone judges though its a human weakness.

Basket Case, here.

I used to run out of the classroom crying all the damn time. I'm the only one I know that got sent to the principal, not the counselor, to discuss possible suspension for "emotional issues."

FIVER: see if you can't round up a side-by-side screenshot comparison and I'll let you know what I think...
 
2003-02-05 05:02:08 PM
crap, I need to pick an archetype then. I'm probably somewhere between geek and basket case.

Aw man! That's it, I'm buying it today...

Andrew Clark: This is the worst fake I.D. I've ever seen. You realize you made yourself sixty-eight.

Brian Johnson: Oh, I know, I know. I goofed it.

Andrew Clark: What do you need a fake I.D. for?

Brian Johnson: So I can vote!
 
2003-02-05 05:03:30 PM
Truly you cannot judge who has not been placed in a clique.

Unless you were this one princess I knew. She was a basket case alright and not in a good way. I'm sure she's sellin her body now (BTW, we're both only one year outta high school heh)
 
2003-02-05 05:03:44 PM
Has anybody picked wise janitor?
 
2003-02-05 05:04:05 PM
They forgot the Beuller archetype...

 
2003-02-05 05:04:16 PM
The way I see it, each of us is a brain, an athlete, a basketcase, a princess, and a criminal.

Don't you...forget about me
 
2003-02-05 05:04:47 PM
Ant: the place I remember seeing Molly Ringwald was in Not Another Teen Movie. She played the flight attendant. Her filmography leads me to believe that's been her 10 year peak.

What's the punch line of the joke that Judd Nelson tells to himself as he's crawling through the drop cieling? TBS edits it out.. or maybe that's the joke.

Gimpel - no...

You guys just don't know hot when you see it
 
2003-02-05 05:06:34 PM
err, should have been "the *most recent* place"
 
2003-02-05 05:07:44 PM
Brains 40% likely to commit suicide via flare gun?

Jocks more than 80% likely to duct tape someone's ass shut?

Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything.
Forty percent of all people know that.
 
2003-02-05 05:08:18 PM
Gimpel - indeed I do know hot when I see it...and skinny, boobless, redheads with skinny faces and bug-eyes isnt my idea of hot.

that's so cute ! i love when people trot out anecdotes when everyone else is discussing statistics.

gee, 5% of the jock-types became alcoholics, yet YOU didn't become an alcoholic. I guess that 5% is a big lie and it must really be zero then, right ? that's pretty sound reasoning.
 
2003-02-05 05:10:40 PM
I'm 55% alcoholic and 45% big lie...
 
2003-02-05 05:10:53 PM
If it make you all feel better, I think y'all are a bunch o' dorks.
 
2003-02-05 05:12:17 PM
I believe that it was indeed "Flip You" in the edited version.

Plus, Mr. Hand was always such a dick to Spicoli in that movie.
 
2003-02-05 05:12:23 PM
Hey, what a coincidence. We started watching this in my Sociology class today

Pretty good, so far.

I'm not really any of these things. I guess the closest I am is "basket case".
 
2003-02-05 05:12:29 PM
Stubacka: boobless? I suggest you google image search on "Molly Ringwald" with the adult filter off.

Sven_Burger

So what was the punchline?
John Hughes: There isn't one. That was the point.
Judd Nelson: I made the joke up. My line when I fall into the room is, "I forgot my pencil," so we were trying to work backward from that, but what joke would have that punchline?

Big Tuna - ok, she's female, she does have boobs, but you need more than a b cup to have "boobies"
 
2003-02-05 05:14:34 PM
Stubacka That's twice you have attacked me for something Ant wrote. But that's okay, I can take it though.

By the way, you obviously haven't looked at Molly Ringwald and are just trolling, but I'll bite:

She is not skinny nor boobless. She borders on "pleasantly plump," which she isn't--she borders on it.

"Bug-eyes?" I don't see it.

Like my not-so-good, old dad used to say, "Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone's got one, and most of them stink."
 
2003-02-05 05:15:07 PM
Jocks, particularly female athletes, were earning more money at 24 than any other group

I find that *VERY* difficult to believe. Most of the people I run into who were jocks in HS are now working retail or some blue-collar job. A few are white-collar.

The brains, as fate would have it, are raking in the bucks at some cushy desk job.
 
2003-02-05 05:16:12 PM
I appologise Gimpel...but I do stand by my Ringwald-opinion....though i just did that search on google....when did she grow boobies?
 
2003-02-05 05:16:32 PM
Hmm... can't you be a mix? I'd say I'm 50% Basket Case, 35% Brain and 15% Criminal.
 
2003-02-05 05:16:50 PM
Ok.. lets set this straight.


Molly Ringwald = Old and Busted


Nikki Cox = New Hotness

I think I must be a "criminal mastermind"
 
2003-02-05 05:18:04 PM
Stubacka: I rest my case ;)
 
2003-02-05 05:18:16 PM
Thank you IHateMonkies....that pic is proof enough for you Ringwald-its...GROSS!
