That seemed to hit a nerve--and she didn't deny it.

I don't think I ever saw that movie, though I'm aware of it from the many references to it in other productions. Sheedy did guest star in an episode of The Dead Zone as an old friend of Anthony Michael Hall's character, and I think that was an homage to that movie.
Short version: Ringwald was the popular girl next door type. Sheedy was the broody proto-Goth girl loner. Surprise, they turn out to have more in common than they thought.
In RIVERDALE terms, Ringwald was Betty. Sheedy was Jughead. So casting Sheedy as Jughead's mom would be strangely fitting . . . .
Okay, that makes sense. And it's very Berlanti-ish, like casting a former TV Flash as the Flash's father (and surrogate father figure) or a former movie Supergirl and TV Superman as Supergirl's foster parents.
As I live and breathe - Molly Ringwald! I hadn't seen her in anything since the 1980s, or maybe I haven't been paying much attention.
I don't see much chemistry between Jug and Betty at all. Jughead did have a point - he was the outsider loner and she was the good girl next door. People say that opposites attract, but maybe that's problem; they're not even opposites in the sense. I don't understand why Jughead never wanted any birthday parties or celebrations when he was younger, unless he had a traumatic childhood.

I saw her live in an off-Broadway show back in the nineties. As I recall, she was quite good.
Jughead's mom could lead (eventually) to the introduction of Bingo Wilkin, Jughead's first cousin from the next town over, Midville. (Jughead's mom and Bingo's mom are sisters.)
The "Brat Pack" is slightly ahead of my time, so my only contemporaneous experience with any of them would be Sheedy's appearance in Short Circuit.
Wow, how many ages has it been since I saw the Short Circuit movies? I liked them at the time, but they're badly dated by Fisher Stevens's ethnic-caricature role.
Don't remember where I first saw it, but it's a favorite movie for me.
Minus the library dancing scene, which is lame.
He said he hates them because his parents were always fighting every other day, but his birthday would be the day when they made an effort not to. Jughead prefers everyone to be honest, and this day of non-fighting just felt fake to him.
I have to ask why Cheryl keeps wearing that hideous shade of magenta lipstick. It makes her look like a circus clown.
I always watch this show a few days later on my DVR so I feel like I'm always missing out on this conversion...
I'm still really enjoying the show, in an effort not to cover territory already discussed, I'm really enjoying Cole Sprouse as Jughead, his "dressing down" of Betty felt very real and honest. It was a little uncomfortable in a way to watch; ultimately I'm glad they didn't go the obvious route and have him dump her, instead having his father talk some sense into him and have him go after her.
As for Cheryl and her extremely red lipstick: I think they want to highlight that she's a redhead.
Also...does anyone know why it's not going to be on this coming Thursday?

96 episodes of The Secret Sex life of the American Teenager?
Anyone, anyone? Is this thing on?
(Sigh)
I saw a sweaty bloated Molly simulate giving Birth loudly on that ridiculous series.
TSLotAT is unintentionally funny because it's Ed Wood levels of bad writing and bad acting.
WTF is raising Expectations?

Looks like one slipped past the goalie.

I could look past it if her lipstick was actually red so it's more of a match, but it's magenta - a pink/purple color that looks good on flowers and occasionally with clothing, but should never, EVER be used for lipstick.
Especially on someone whose lips are so... surgically enhanced? Like I said, she looks like a clown.
He was fun on Hope and Faith. 
If Cheryl's look is so awful, I can't tell these things, too much boy dna, what does the actress look like on her own time?
HA!
Madeline is going to be in a movie caled F*&% the Prom.

Well, the eyebrows are awful, but the rest is much nicer.
I thought the same, it's unbelievable that Madeline paid someone to do that to her face, but such a bizarre effect could be for a part?
Her eyebrows look like they're plasticine worms.

Not a casting I would have expected, but looks like they're going for increasing the DILF quota in Riverdale.
