In Love With The Breakfast Club

If you think you've seen The Breakfast Club already, WATCH IT AGAIN! 

March 24 marks the anniversary of the detention in The Breakfast Club! Seeing as I'm completely obsessed with this John Hughes film, I've decided to share my favorite quote from the movie:

[opening narration immediately after the title sequence]
"Saturday, March 24,1984. Shermer High School, Shermer, Illinois, 60062. Dear Mr. Vernon, We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did *was* wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That's the way we saw each other at 7:00 this morning. We were brainwashed." -Most amazing movie ever (The Breakfast Club) 

 

I'm simply in love with this film.

Any other Breakfast Club fans out there?

The Great Gatsby, Revisited.

The Great Gatsby.


The Great Gatsby has always been one of those books that I knew I loved but I just couldn't quite remember why and I couldn't really remember the plot... It made a lasting impression but that impression was more an emotion than anything else. With the movie coming out (I can't wait to see it!), I decided to reread the book and I was pleasantly reminded of why I had loved it so much. It was like visiting an old friend you haven't really been in touch with but once you meet it's like no time has passed at all. I strongly recommend reading or rereading The Great Gatsby and then going to the movie to enjoy it in picture and to drool over the costumes designed by Miuccia Prada.

I'm definitely planning on going to the midnight showing! Is anyone else?
