Aw, Jeff, I always wished I was a teen in the '80s.
I could so rock the whole "Molly Ringwald" look. and I could date a young John Cusack. :D
The soundtracks to the brat pack movies, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, U2, the Replacements, Billy Idol, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar Mellencamp... all good stuff.

Speaking of the Mariah Carey movie, I watched the Britney Spears one the other day. I kinda liked it. One point in it shocked me just a *little* bit. The ending managed to suck though.
