Breakfast Club

[resonant]

I rented "The Breakfast Club" and watched it -- first movie I've rented in ages, and it was good to see that Molly Ringwald really was as pretty as I remembered, and that, yes, there actually was a time when Emilio Estevez was good-looking and Judd Nelson, while not good-looking, was hot.

Now I want speculation and Benderslash. (Yes, I've enjoyed kaneko's The Supper Club and shrift's A Lobotomy and Some Tights.)

1. What's y'all's guess as to how old these kids are? The actors are all older than they ought to be, which confuses matters, but clearly they're not seniors. I'm wondering if they might even be sophomores -- I mean, what on earth would prevent Bender from dropping out the very microsecond the law allows?

2. How does Brian come to be on a first-name basis with Carl the janitor?

Well, if you drop out, you either have to have very patient parents (which he clearly doesn't) or you have to get a job and find a place to live.

But on the other hand, he almost seems to be the kind of guy to whom details like that just haven't yet occurred. Like he'd drop out in a fit of fury and go, "Oh, shit."

And six months later, he who was the Terror of Princesses and the Nemesis of Faculty Members is now just a beginning auto mechanic who had to borrow his rental deposit from his boss.
