Flashback Friday Film Clip - Some Kind of Wonderful



For today's flashback video I present you with my favorite scene in "Some Kind of Wonderful." It's one of John Hughes' films that wasn't as popular as Pretty in Pink but actually had a much more satisfying ending. I love this movie. I can totally relate to Watts' crush on Keith and this scene always gets to me. Also the soundtrack to the scene (and the film in general) is so great. First bit of trivia: Amanda Jones was a Rolling Stones song and Keith and Watts were named after the respective members of the band.
Second bit of trivia: Not only did Mary Stuart Masterson graduate from my high school but we took piano lessons from the same teacher when I was in elementary school. She was an excellent pianist.

I took percussion in the 7th grade and I have always regretted joining the yearbook committee the next year instead of continuing with drums. I have played piano & guitar, but really I always wanted to be a drummer. Last Monday I had the unique opportunity to be onstage and play percussion with Fountains of Wayne at Maxwell's during "Hey Julie." I tried really hard to find someone who had a pic of me onstage but it's a dead end. It was fantastic though! Unforgettable - words cannot describe it.
