I rarely just turn on the TV and flip, but tonight I did and I just couldn't resist when the LMN (Lifetime Movie Network - I know, it was new to me too) was showing Mystic Pizza. The 1988 movie marked some big hair, early career moments for Julia Roberts, Lili Taylor as Jojo, channeling her future Corey on Say Anything and Annabeth Gish being all earnest and sensitive like her future "Pudge" in Shag.
If you have any delusions that big hair, leggings and big shirts are a good look...rewatch Mystic Pizza.
So, my question for those fellow Mystic Pizza fans...and no going to IMDB...blogging is a game of honor...what future Oscar winner has about a half a line at the dinner table of Daisy's rich boyfriend's family? Hint: his Oscar was not for acting.
And just for the record...it's not fair...there is a local sports show called Sports Night...and I just saw it on the guide and for one hopeful moment I hoped that somehow one of the best, most underrated sitcoms of all time was sold into syndication.
