PRETTY IN PINK
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
1986 Canada pressing

Last spin before I crash out. Hope everybody has a great weekend.

This is a great soundtrack. Tons of great essential songs. However, I’m in the minority of not liking the actual film.
I love John Hughes movies.
Just not this one.
Which is fine, because the soundtrack is that certain kind of #80s great.
Gimme Weird Science.
That’s my Hughes jam.

https://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2023/march/anna-verney-richard-cooke/being-john-hughes#mtr This is a terrific article about the plagiarism scandal that engulfed acclaimed Australian writer John Hughes - The Dogs- last year & his publisher Upswell Press. Fascinating and detailed account here of the saga. It’s a long read but we’ll worth it. Congratulations to Anna Verney and Richard Cooke for this nuanced account of an extraordinary and complex story. #literature #australianliterature #writing #plagiarism #UpswellPress #johnhughes #thedogs

@bookstodon I haven't yet read any of #JohnHughes works, but apparently the man is a serial plagiarist.

"#JohnHughes has long been hailed as the clown prince of teen #angst. Whether it’s #MollyRingwald getting felt up by her grandpa (Sixteen Candles) or Ally Sheedy teasing her dandruff into a snowfall (The Breakfast Club), he knows how to put across the exquisite humiliation of adolescence. Still, most of his films play to formula."

Our holiday film fest continued with Christmas in Connecticut (1945), which is bonkers and has a terrific cast: Barbara Stanwyck, Sydney Greenstreet, S.Z. Zakall.

We followed that up with something cheesy and easy, but how is it that we never noticed this movie’s composer? Also, it’s Mavis Staples singing the theme song. #AngeloBadalamenti #JohnHughes #film #ChristmasVacation
