- It started sunday night and ended yesterday night, my John Hughes Marathon (Teen flicks + Planes Trains and Automobiles).
Some thoughts:
There is a light that never goes out
Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their home
And I’m welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn’t ask
Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
No, I haven’t got one
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
- Pretty in Pink released in 1986 used a single from “The Queen is Dead” 1986 album of The Smiths in its sound track. It’s a joy pausing the credits to look at the soundtrack of JH films, specially when the music is this good.
- Found Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) could have been more effective if it wasn’t for the fact that I found Watts more attractive than Amanda. This may either be because I really find Watts more attractive or I was feeling for her character, the ever I love her but she loves another may be the real reason.
- For the life of me I can’t help but think that Keith was stoned the whole time.
- We have our share of this, from 27 year old actors playing a highschool student (Yep thinking of glee right now) to a teenager playing a much older woman (the 15 y.o. clubber in bad boys 2 comes to mind). I believe for women its more acceptable but for men please please please don’t play freshman highschool students when you already have a receding or thinning rag
- from Rilke : For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess. - loved this TED Talk by TED curator Chris Anderson about Crowd Accelerated Innovation:
- Crowd
- Light – Open Visibility of what can be done
- Desire
- The LXD (League of eXtraordinary Dancers) shown fleetingly at Chris Anderson’s TED Talk!!!!
