The Perfect Encapsulation of Impotent Rage

Earlier this month, I was watching Pretty in Pink, because it was on and I needed to look at James Spader's glorious 80s hair. Naturally, I was texting Deeky about it, because we were both awake and still breathing, and I told him: "I love when Duckie tries to beat up Blaine, then spins around and slams into a locker before tearing down the prom banner, lol. It's SO great. The most perfect expression of teenage angst ever."

So, naturally, Deeks made this for me:


[Video of Duckie running down the school hallway and tearing down the banner.]
To which I replied: "LOLOLOLOLOLOL! Amazing. You are the best. I am a LITTLE sad that it starts after his bouncing off the locker and spinning into the run, though. -1 angst. LOL."

So, naturally, Deeky made this for me:


[Video of Duckie bounding off the locker and then running down the hall.]
To which I replied: "OH MY GOD THAT IS THE GREATEST THING OF ALL THE THINGS. Also: '(Extended Cut)' LOLOLOL."

And then, naturally, Deeky made this for me:


[Ten-minute loop of Duckie's angst-run.]
To which I replied: "OMG THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED IN MY LIFE AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT."

Deeks: Did you watch the whole thing?

Liss: No, lol. Should I?

Deeks: The last 30 seconds at least.

Liss: [watches the end of the video to find it ends with a clip of James Spader saying, "Nice, huh?"] OMFG I JUST LAUGHED OUT LOUD SO HARD!!!

Deeks: That made it all worth it.

Liss: I watched the last two minutes, so I could really rev up for whatever was coming, and it was entirely worth it.

Deeks: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

1. Obviously, this should join Kiefer Sutherland jumping into a Christmas tree as a frequently used expressive video at Shakesville. Basically what I'm saying is: Prepare to see a clip of Duckie running down the hall and tearing down the prom banner next time the President says "our wives and daughters." FOR EXAMPLE.

2. I never noticed until I watched this clip two million times that one of the prom king candidates on the sign is "Chris Christie." LOL!
