I'm not Duckie.....
I was buying a birthday card for my friends twin boys today and the clerk asked me if I was an actor. I laughed at him, "What? Noooooo. I'm not an actor. I'm a photographer." "You look just like a famous actor ... Oh, I can't think of his name but I saw a movie with him just last night." I sighed, "Yeah. Let me guess. Jon Cryer? Duckie from Pretty In Pink?" "Yeah! That's it! You look like Jon Cryer." "I know. I get that a lot." Can't blame the guy. This is Los Angeles. If you live in Iowa and see a guy who looks like Bruce Willis, well, it's just a guy who looks like Bruce Willis. In Los Angeles, it might actually BE Bruce Willis. Hell, in the same shopping mall where this guy thought I was Jon Cryer, I saw Justine Bateman in the grocery store. For the record, I'm not Duckie. This is Duckie: This is me: May 10 05 01:13 am Link It's probably the shoes. Everyone, raise your hand if you think Duckie should have gotten the girl! May 10 05 01:22 am Link Yes, Theda - Duckie should've gotten the girl. May 10 05 06:47 am Link hmmm...well...the affinity is astounding.

LOL May 10 05 10:20 am Link An acquaintance of mine was married to Jon Cryer for a while. I always wanted to ask him about the original ending of "Pretty in Pink" (which was re-shot to appease test audiences), but now that they're divorced, I guess I've missed my chance. Sigh. May 10 05 10:35 am Link Wow, you really do look like him. May 10 05 11:01 am Link Posted by Saint John: Those test audiences were fools. There was an issue with the classist message of the original ending. Consequently, John Hughes re-did the film as "Some Kind of Wonderful" and everyone was poor. May 10 05 11:45 am Link Yes I think so he has a charm and cuteness to him. Not to mention personality. May 10 05 12:16 pm Link Posted by Saint John: FYI - May 10 05 03:17 pm Link She should have slept with James Spader. May 10 05 03:19 pm Link Posted by ERIC STRIFFLER: Now that's just sick. May 10 05 06:29 pm Link Ty, Theda - I really appreciate the information/clarification. I never expected MM to enable my 80s addiction. Thanks! May 10 05 09:26 pm Link Dont feel bad my cousin used to look EXACTLY like him, and this was back in the 80s, so you can imagine how much he got that.. May 10 05 09:45 pm Link Posted by Printmakeup: Who said I felt bad? May 10 05 10:19 pm Link Posted by Printmakeup: So in other words, he got lots of play? May 11 05 12:27 am Link LMAO ... Thinkin Eric might be Jon Cryer in disguise. I mean has he done anything since project X? And funny you should mention Bruce Willis. And Theda's comment about him getting the girl. He got Demi Moore for a little while in the movie No Small Affair. Which just happens to be my favorite photography related movie. Made me want to REALLY be a photographer, move to Milan (Which I didnt do) and move to San Francisco which I DID do. TWICE... LOL May 17 05 11:28 am Link Posted by DJ Foothill: I had a crush on Do-Me-More, er, Demi Moore for years. May 17 05 09:30 pm Link I used to work with Ann Cusack in Chicago, and John and Joan would come into the bar and drink from time to time. This was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, And princess laya was not saved, and Darth Vader still lives in the Frozen hell known as Chicago. Do not get me started on Danae-the one and the same from Mythology. And Duckie should have realized that there was a girl who was in love with him and at least gotten a piece of that with a night of drinking and lust. May 17 05 09:43 pm Link |
