Dear sexonastick:

Watched Heavenly Creatures. Was reminded of Lost and Delirious. Where are my sane teenage lesbian movies?

Love,
Me

There are way too many snarky coments I could make re sane teenage lesbians.

But I liked HC, though I seem to have a thing for homo murderers. See-fascination with Leopold and Loeb.

*swats you*

Speaking of "homo murderers"... when i picked up Heavenly Creatures i immediately thought of Murder by Numbers 'cause the image of Pauline totally looks like one of the boys in that movie, and i have so read slash fic for that movie.

[sexonastick]

Well, Murder by Numbers is supposed to be based (sort of) on Leopold and Loeb, and the Parker-Hulme lawers used the same defense as Leopold-Loeb's did. (That being that French phrase that means "insanity in pairs.")

But, um. You want a happy teen lesbian movie?

... have you see The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love?

[hermionesviolin]

There's a French phrase that means "insanity in pairs"? Neato.

Huh. I'd never heard of Leopold and Loeb before hedy mentioned them. H, have you seen Murder by Numbers?

Oh yes, The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love, good call. I have in fact seen that movie. Quite liked it even. Thank you.

P.S. Love the new "name."

Umm, are there even any gay teen movies (gay in the male sense, not in the non-gendered sense)? I know, I'm such a bad queer. Well, there's an English one I tried to watch a few times, but never got through it. That's all I can think of.

Oh, and But I'm A Cheerleader. Happy. Then again, whenver we thought of any queer movies to watch at DePauw, that's the one that always came up. Hmmm. . .

There's one that takes place in Ohio in the 80's called Edge of Seventeen but it's guys, no lesbians. (Which would be why it fits your request and not hermionesviolin's.) Um. There are... more. And I might be able to think of them when I'm less sleepy.

[akronohten]

I really don't like Ohio, tho, so that rules that one out. Thanks anyway.

What has this post taught me, throught everyone's comments? I need to see more queer movies. . .

Insanity in pairs: Folie a deux - a madness of two. See all the random crap you learn by being a middle school X-Phile (X-Files fanatic)?

Snarky comment RE: sane teenage lesbians - Wait, what? Sane teenage lesbians? I don't remember any of those. (Sorry, that just had to be said.)
