Subject: Maybe Molly

But it has Molly Ringwald(!), and she cuts her hair(!). Think about it: this is necessary. She starts with long hair, and we all know Molly Ringwald has short hair; things have gone against her, and we all know Molly makes things better by making a pink dress. But the pink dress variation has been filled, and so she must do domething else. The film is a structuralist masterpiece. And we have the real Molly, cutting her pink dress hair, not the New American Orchestra imitation, solving the problem untransformed. What more could we ask?
