Unrelentingly bleak, there were no tonal shifts at all, which muted the horror that is the basis of the story. From beginning to end, the movie is bathed in unsaturated colors, the piano tinkles melodramatically, and even the seaside looks drab and unsettling.

Tilda Swinton, so radiant for so much of the movie, by the end is the Swinton we all know and fear - a pale strawberry husk with unmissable black orbs punctuating her face. In that antepenultimate scene, she is the White Witch, she is Orlando, she is Emma, she is Kitesh. She is all she has ever been, and unmistakably herself.

‘Pretty in Pink’: Andrew McCarthy and Jon Cryer fight over Molly Ringwald on Twitter
Some love triangles are forever. It seems “Pretty in Pink” guys Jon Cryer and Andrew McCarthy just can’t stop fighting over Molly Ringwald. This after she told Out.com that Duckie is gay. As Zap2it reported, Cryer disagrees, saying, “I respectfully disagree. I want to stand up for all the slightly effeminate dorks that are actually heterosexual. Just cause the gaydar is going off, doesn’t mean your instruments aren’t faulty. I’ve had to live with that, and that’s okay.”
The three stars are recreating the film on Twitter with this adorable exchange.
Ringwald: “Don’t know about Andie ending up with Duckie but I’d totally end up with @MrJonCryer He grew up best Pop2it - Zap2it bit.ly/KloiwK”
McCarthy: “”@MollyRingwald: Don’t know about ending up w/ Duckie but I’d end up w/@MrJonCryer He grew up best-” SHOCKED Molly! I challenge him to duel”
McCarthy: “Let me tell you something @MollyRingwald, that @MrJonCryer wouldn’t last five minutes”
Ringwald: “@AndrewTMcCarthy @MrJonCryer You have the best job on the planet and you got me in the teen years. Cry me a river. ;)”
Cryer: “@AndrewTMcCarthy ?!? His twitter handle is @AndrewTMcCarthy ?!? That’s not a twitter handle, it’s a major appliance!”
McCarthy: “”@MrJonCryer Hi handle is @AndrewTMcCarthy?!? That’s not a twitter handle, it’s a major appliance!” Ur still crying in the parking lot!”
Cryer: “@AndrewTMcCarthy Nuh-uh!! I’m still at the prom making out with Kristy Swanson!!!”
McCarthy: “”@MrJonCryer @AndrewTMcCarthy Nuh-uh! I’m still at prom making out w/ Kristy Swanson”Jon, tell the truth. It was Spader all along, wasn’t it”
Cryer: “@AndrewTMcCarthy please don’t be angry that @MollyRingwald thinks I grew up better. I TOLD you to moisturize back in 1985!!”

Probably my favorite picture I’ve taken anywhere. Perfectly captures both the majesty and terror of New York City, where Wall Street looms like some evil overlord. The Manhattan Bridge may be the most terrifying place in the world, but without it, this picture couldn’t exist…

"I cannot even answer this, the simplest and most basic of all questions: Am I, in my search, a hundred miles ahead of my fellow Americans or a hundred miles behind them? That is to say: have 98% of Americans already found what I week or are they so sunk in everydayness that not even the possibility of a search has occurred to them?"

With Nolan and Jack, she forms a perfect trinity. The two men balance out her light and her dark; one could never suffice. Nolan gives her everything she needs to keep going, and Jack’s existence restrains her worst impulses. Her father used to play both roles, and it makes sense that the chasm he’s left in her life is so wide that it takes more than one to fill it.

Cordy: “Ebeneezer here doesn’t want to share the wealth.”
Wesley: “I didn’t say that. I merely said Gunn might be insulted by the offer. He’s a - proud sort of fellow.”
Cordy: “He’s been doing for us. He should pull in a check.”
Angel: “I’ll think about asking him, alright?”
Cordy: “No think. Pay. That’s an order.”
Angel: “Hey! How about we pretend that you work for me?”
Cordy: “You are really unpleasant when you ”
Angel: “Then why don’t we pretend that you don’t.”
Cordy: “You can’t fire me. I’m vision girl.”
Angel: “All right. I’ll think about asking him, alright? Maybe - on a case by case.”
Cordy: “My hero.”
