#Eddie furlong teen movie
A movie made especially for the pre-pubescent girl – brimming with gorgeous boys in uniforms being passionate about life, love and poetry!! (SWOON!) I was a fan of both Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard in this film (we’ll get to Mr. Ethan Hawke?ĭead Poet’s Society loomed large during my junior high years. We’re going to start with one that, thankfully, has been making a comeback as of late…Ladies…remember Mr. The ones that I loved so much it almost hurt. The ones that burrowed their way into my soul – even now. Find the particular snapshots of my loves that I gazed at longingly every night, falling asleep beside and waking up to every morning. I decided today I should take a walk through memory lane and re-visit all of those old crushes who adorned my walls and book covers. Mainly this would consist of describing our first date, leading up to the life changing good-night kiss, and then fast forwarding to our incredibly hip wedding, the details of which a teenage girl can get lost in for hours. I would spend hours with my friends at weekend sleep-overs lying in bed, lights out, describing our ideal chaste lives with our beaus. They remained perfect boyfriend fantasies – always saying and doing the right things. I dreamed of kissing them, snuggling with them and maybe living together, but nothing beyond that.
The thing that’s funny to me looking back now, is that none of my feelings for any of these boys were ever sexual.
I actually spent my summer between 6th and 7th grade writing letters frantically with up to 10 pen pals a day – from all over the country and from all over the world – girls found in the back of said magazines who would trade you pictures of your crush if you sent back pictures of hers (especially awesome if they lived in another country and you got French or Japanese versions of newspaper clippings.) Say you weren’t totally into Jonathan Brandis (I wasn’t – something too goody-goody about him) but you LOVED Edward Furlong (I did – that hair…ooh…that hair…) you two could switch and BINGO! You got rid of the ones you didn’t want for ones that you did! More posters to love and kiss!! I, at one time or another had five or more boys at once pinned to my bedroom wall. Yes, I’m talking about your pin-up boy crush. But this particular type of boy couldn’t be found at school or at youth meetings, he could only be found in between the pages of such mockingly named periodicals as Bop, Big Bopper and Tiger Beat. Back to a time – somewhere between 1988-1995, when you were reaching that tender age in which a teenage girl begins to yearn for an adorable, sensitive boy to hold and kiss.
