ThatвЂ™s a good question, I donвЂ™t know! IвЂ™m sure fake ones have been sold online over and over again.Links to amusing, interesting, or funny GIFs from the web!. Last question, does anyone have that pen? What if I told you that my son has a boombox and heвЂ™s looking for a trench coat so that he can be Lloyd Dobler for Halloween? I hope that people donвЂ™t rewrite all the rules and there is still room for some big romantic gestures. Though it can be a bit hard to translate it sometimes, there are people who say that if you held a boombox over your head outside someoneвЂ™s window today youвЂ™d be a stalker. That kinda tells me we did a good thing, not all things hold up. When something works and its authentic to people, it doesnвЂ™t surprise me. Are you surprised that it can curry that kind of teen favor after 30 years? Among these Gen Z digital natives that are supposed to be jaded and seen-it-all? First he called it wholesome, and then he said: Lloyd Dobler is legend. But he loved Say Anything and said two things. I watched this with my 16-year-old son, who has popped an eyeball at some of the racism and sexism of 80вЂ™s teen movies. I really liked the way that he could still be into martial arts and a boxer, that it was a constellation of attributes that allowed him to be both masculine and vulnerable. But I was aware back then that it was an interesting part of the character, rooted in part of who Cameron was. I think I was aware it was a proto-feminist kind of characterization, I mean you canвЂ™t have clear politics without believing in feminism, at the core, itвЂ™s half the population of the earth. I remember that was a scene we improvised, Cameron had a rough outline, but we kind of riffed on it. Do you think that was iconoclastic for the time (the year of Say Anything was also the year of Roadhouse, btw)? So Lloyd gets dumped and Power Lloyd seeks out the boys at the Gas-n-Sip, but ends up rejecting that toxic masculinity of вЂњ Bitches, man.вЂќ Instead he chooses vulnerability, standing outside with his heart in a boombox above his head. If youвЂ™re an 18-22 year old and you donвЂ™t have that revolutionary anarchist spirit in you IвЂ™m not sure I trust you. I was into The Clash, because they made me feel something, they expanded my borders outside of materialism and capitalism, were the goal is to fit in and make money. It was something that I experienced as a young man in America in the Reagan era. You know, when I was young in that way, there was always some author you were reading some book curled up in your back pocket and I was thinking of it more like вЂњWhat would JD Salinger think about all thisвЂќ. Not really, I saw it more in terms of a literary thing. Considering how John HughesвЂ™ Shermer High SchoolВ world of rigid teen social castes pretty much built and reinforced our perceptions back then, were you worried how Lloyd would play in that structure? Lloyd is not your typical 80вЂ™s high school boy, his best friends are cool chicks DC and Cory, and he seems to not fit in anyoneвЂ™s clique вЂ¦ but heвЂ™s not a loser, heвЂ™s universally loved. I was really lucky that they were game to work that way. We kinda co-created that character, and I said that was the only way I would do it. So you steal from or borrow from your own experiences and sometimes it works really well with well-written characters. ItвЂ™s a creative process where you start from yourself and youвЂ™re the well. ThatвЂ™s always like the $64K question, you put on a mask and sometimes you end up telling the truth. We know you had a hand in bringing the details of Lloyd Dobler to life, from The Clash tee-shirt to his world view, but how much of YOU is in there? But I got 10 fast minutes with him on the phone just now, and I used them to dig into one of my favorite characters of all time. HeвЂ™ll be hosting a screening and discussion tonight at The Ordway. On this, its 30 th anniversary, John Cusack is touring the country with the film. I am class of вЂ™89 and can likely recite every line in Say Anything, the timeless вЂ80вЂ™s love story of Lloyd Dobler and Diane Court (whoa) set in Seattle during the summer after high school graduation.
