Everybody have fun tonight…everybody Wang Chung tonight!

This post completes the joke in my response to Amanda’s post. The joke isn’t very funny, but any chance to listen to 80’s music. Unfortunately all the videos of Everybody have fun tonight had embedding disabled (damn those record companies). So I offer up Dance Hall Days as an equally wonderful and relevant substitute considering the topic of Amanda’s post about dating trees :)
I just watched Pretty in Pink the other day with some friends. John Hughes is a master filmmaker. When I was younger I never consciously noted how the “cool kids” were casted much older and/or bigger than the geeky kids. The jocks look like the staff of the school, while Michael C. Hall and John Cusack appear to be in 6th grade. And Molly Ringwald appears to have been intentionally shot at angles and in makeup that changes her age and apparent maturity level throughout the film. Subtle, but amazing cinematic craftsmanship. It’s nice to be reminded that quality storytelling doesn’t have to by intellectual. While I don’t miss my actual high school experience, I miss the spirit of high school.
What’s your favorite 80’s song? Tell us all about it (embed if it’s available) in the Music blog topic in the Sports and leisure community.
This Wang Chung post inspired my followup post Take a break from work! We can dance if we want to…everybody look at your hands which then further inspired this post, What character(s) in ANY John Hughes film best describe you? which I REALLY HAVE TO GET ANSWERS TO!
