Dude.

They have been "friends" for 9 or 11 years.

A decade.

*This* is how she's breaking the news to him?

Come on. No one would accept this from a man, why should we accept it because she's a woman?

Or, another interpretation.

They really have been besties for 10 years and there isn't a guy hanging on for a decade.

There are a zillion billion ways it could be playing out behind these pics. The point is not to figure out what's true, the point is to realize that there are many possible trues, and in some of them it's not 100% his fault, which means that some of it is on the woman in those trues. Pas rien.

That's it.

I forgot that it had been 9 (or 11) years.

Maybe she's made it clear before and the guy accepts it but holds out hope, which is sad. Actually she must have made it clear because you can't go that long thinking she's your girlfriend. He knows they are friends and is hanging on to misguided hope. If he wants to be her boyfriend, make the move and talk to her. He's not, so it's his fault.

I said "it hurts" because it's self-inflicted pain.

Girl doesn't want to be your girlfriend? Move on. Dragging that out for a decade is sad.

Maybe. One of the problems that I see when discussing things like this is that people are unable to see (or so it appears) past how they themselves would handle it, and when someone else doesn't handle it that way it's "sad". And maybe it is sad. On first blush it certainly seems sad even to me. It doesn't have to be. What if he just realized he finally had romantic feelings for her 2 days before her birthday? What if a friendship ring is just a frienship ring?

Again, the point isn't to identify all the scenarios that agree/disagree with your perspective, it's to understand that scenarios exist that are outside your viewpoint and accept that how you view things is not the only way to view them.

It has been a long time since I saw Pretty in Pink, but my sense (maybe not at the time) is that Duckie was always fabulously gay and that the friendzone subplot was just clunky avoidance on John Hughes' part.

Am I wrong?

Pretty sure that's not correct.

My recollection is that Duckie was supposed to 'get the girl' in the end (which was the obvious way the movie was heading the entire time), but that Molly Ringwald threw a spoiled tantrum and demanded that she 'get the guy'. So it was rewritten with the BS ending where she gets the good looking, cool, popular, rich guy; and some random attractive girl suddenly decides that she wants to dance with Duckie, and we are supposed to believe that he and this random girl go happily off into the sunset.

In other words, the ending was crap.

Nope. He was actually originally to get the girl at the end. Screenings showed the audience didn't like that ending so they went back and reshot it so the asshole got the girl at the end. I wanted Duckie to get her.

Huh. And Wikipedia confirms that. I don't know where I heard that it was Molly that threw the stink. But since she was the "queen" of the Brat Pack, it was definitely believable. :D

I did just find this from an interview with Cryer:
While Cryer was taken by surprise by that aspect of the story, there is something else that has surprised him more of late. “I rewatched the movie fairly recently and realized that a lot of people thought Duckie was gay. And that was total news to me as a person that does not happen to be gay and did not intend for that flavor to be in there. Even Molly [Ringwald] herself thought of Duckie as her gay best friend! And I was like, ‘Wow, I didn’t think of that.’ To some members of the gay community, he’s kind of an icon and it’s like, great! More power to them!”

Duckie was everything complicated about sensitive, creative GenX teen masculinity. Maybe that was the problem.
To identify with a privileged dreamboat like Blane , even though [Andrew] McCarthy plays him with great sensitivity and longing, feels either like being too proud of being rich, popular and handsome yourself, or like cheering for Big Tobacco in a class action lawsuit. Instead, a generation of American male teenagers, me included, saw themselves in Duckie—charming, quirky and overlooked. Duckie belonged an elite gang of best friends "Pretty in Pink" screenwriter John Hughes made the beating heart of his ’80s teen filmography—Cameron Frye in "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off," Farmer Ted in "Sixteen Candles" and Watts in "Some Kind of Wonderful"—characters who embodied the pain of being young and not yet able to be honest about your own desires.

Beyond Hughes’ other sidekicks, “Duckie” has become synonymous with “weird friend thrown over for safe, popular choice,” adolescent canon reinforced by a generation of boys who mimicked Duckie—in dress, manner and seduction—to joke and serenade their way into the hearts of their dream girls.

Disciples of Duckie, we had it all wrong.
Goddamn, I was right there.

Just a reminder that everyone is free to post pictures at any time. If people are unhappy with the direction a thread is going, doing something about it is always an option. Active participation by the members of this board is the only thing that will slow its decline. New members are few and far in between.

Another reminder that without Daehawk this thread would be half the size it is with weeks between posts, so as always thanks for sharing your internet travels with us Daehawk.

I wonder what magazine caused periodical fits.

With both masturbation and suppressed masturbation on the list, what's a man to do?

I've had imaginary female trouble.

I can't help but notice no weights are attached. At first I was like that is some amazing hip adduction strength.

Now I'm like that's an expensive machine to use as a sex toy.
