For me Tuesday is a slow night on television. Yeah, yeah, I know that the new season of American Idol has just started and I could be watching Randy Jackson calling everyone "dawg" and Simon making snide remarks and Paula...well, acting all hyper and coked out. But instead, I'm watching Can't Buy Me Love on the Lifetime Movie Network. I used to love this movie when I was about 9. I used to watch it with Anna all the time after we taped it off TV. And a little trip to IMDB revealed a few little known facts about this Before-He-Was-McDreamy movie.
* Seth Green plays Patrick Dempsey's little brother (and P.S. he also guest starred on two episodes of The Facts of Life)
* The movie costars Gerardo of "Rico Suave" fame
* The Monkeys' Mickey Dolenz's daughter is in the movie
* And - here's the clincher - Paula Abdul appears as an uncredited dancer
Otherwise it's a veritable feast of has-beens. But I'm counting on a major comeback by Cindi Mancini.

He was SUCH a dork.
And not really dorky cool, such as, for instance, Duckie.
You should get into Veronica Mars -- it comes on on Tuesdays. Great show. I'm so excited it's back on.
The fashion in this movie is just over-the-top 80s. And you know something I love about these old movies? This sounds crazy, but I love to look at the soda cans. Remember the old minty green Sprite cans with the lemon and lime on it? Classic.
Okay...You stumped me! What's IMDB?
Oh, Jenny Ray, I must share the knowledge. It's the Internet Movie Database - the ultimate guide to all movies and tv shows, who's in them, who directed, and little trivia section. IMDB.com. But beware. It's super addictive!
Well unlike The Beatles song, you can now buy me fame at www.buymefame.com...
Have a look and buy a box of fame today, whilst you can!
Take it easy folks
