What About Prom?

M: You know who I love that I had forgotten about? Scott Speedman.

A: I seriously don't think I've ever seen a single thing he was in.

M: You never watched Felicity? Dude.

A: Nope. I've also never seen Dawson's Creek. We got the WB way after everyone else, it would seem.

M: Was he on Dawson's Creek? I didn't watch that, but I don't think so. BUT:

A: Oh, no! I just missed out on a lot of shows that most people watched. Mmmm...rugged.

M: He is really good. I think I watched most of Felicity on DVD after it was over.

A: I also haven't seen My So-Called Life. I'm not sure he's my type, though. I mean, um...

Dude is high.

M: You just leave him alone. ALONE. I want to sit you down and force you to watch Felicity so that you can love him tooo. And Jordan Catalano! I do not dig Jared Leto in the least, but I did like this, back in the day:

A: See, when I was in high school this was what I was into:

I SAID GODDAMN.

M: Heh. This is where our tiny age difference is apparent, isn't it? I first love Johnny Depp in Crybaby. But I just realized that this:

Is this:

Is this:

And...I maybe have a problem?

A: Hee! you do. I was also VERY MUCH about this:

I liked the deep thinking boys with amazing cheekbones. There was also, very briefly, this:

For which I have no explanation.

M: Okay, I was totally on board until the Half Man there. Right? He's the half on Two and A Half Men? I haven't ever seen that show.

A: I know! I know. It was a minor blip. I was so crazy about Pretty in Pink but Andrew McCarthy is such a drip that I felt like I had no other option.

M:

A: Well, that is obvious now, but he was 26 when that movie was made. And looked it.

M: He was my favorite person in that whole movie.

A: Well, NOW he is. When I was 14 he was kind of scary.

M: This would probably be a good time to mention I didn't see that movie until college? I KNOW.

A: Oh my God, Marianne. When did you see Sixteen Candles? Last week?

M: No, I was all about Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club, but no Pretty in Pink. I don't know why, either. Don't ask me when I saw Some Kind Of Wonderful.

A: Oh God, Eric Stoltz was eight different kinds of hot in that. That kiss!

M: You are going to be so mad.

A: What.

M: I watched it lastsummeraftercampdon'tyell.

A: MARIANNE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE.

What did you think?

M: I KNOW. I...am not sure it holds up to the test of time. I'm sorry.

A: I have to go lie down now.

M: Oh my god, I just found this and I may never stop laughing:

A: Oh! That is kind of...sweet. I don't know. He's got to be someone's favorite, right?

M: I think it is genuinely adorable.

A: You know what's genuinely adorable?

M: Aw. Yeah.
