That (the title of this post) was what Keith told Watts at the end of the movie mentioned earlier. Oh gosh, its so sweeeeet. And it's kind of cool, cos to think this was the grandfather of many teen love movie plots of our generation today. Like that movie was from the era that started it all. The hero-and-bestfriend-hero-falls-for-other-girl-bestfriend-falls-for-hero-hero-realises-he's-been-in-love-with-bestfriend-all-this-while kinda movies. I'm the queen of 80s, 90s teen movies. You name it, I've most likely watched it. St Elmo's Fire, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, She's Out of Control, For Keeps? (OH ONE OF MY BLOODY FAVES!), Some Kind of Wonderful, Just One of the Guys, PeggySue got Married the list goes on. Oh and not so teen love movies too. Like Chances Are, Ghost, Frankie and Johnny, Only You, The Frighteners, Greedy, Heart and Souls the list DEFINITELY goes on. Haix, I think having cable when I was 4 was a big step into making me a movie buff. I remember, sleeping in my parents room, I'd wake up in the middle of the night and wasn't able to go back to bed - so I'd switch on the TV and watch late night movies on Cinemax or HBO what have you, at 2am and whatsnots. But then I'd fall back asleep, as usual (:

Saturday's poem (:

Never try to trick me with a kiss by Sylvia Plath

Never try to trick me with a kiss
Pretending that the birds are here to stay;
The dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

A stone can masquerade where no heart is
And virgins rise where lustful Venus lay:
Never try to trick me with a kiss.

Our noble doctor claims the pain is his,
While stricken patients let him have his say;
The dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

Each virile bachelor dreads paralysis,
The old maid in the gable cries all day:
Never try to trick me with a kiss.

The suave eternal serpents promise bliss
To mortal children longing to be gay;
The dying man will scoff and scorn at this.

Sooner or later something goes amiss;
The singing birds pack up and fly away;
So never try to trick me with a kiss:
The dying man will scoff and scorn at this.
