Please come back to us Kathleen Turner...

Hello friends and enemies,

A lot of people online who try to be cool will tell you that Francis Ford Coppola’s best decade was the 1980s. I’m here to tell you—I’m not one of them! I’m here to tell you, bravely, it’s still the 1970s, as it always has been. Sorry if it’s not cool to think so…

This weekend, I watched Peggy Sue Got Married, a movie I’ve seen in bits and pieces on television a lot, and that I’ve seen in full only once before. The film is a Wizard of Oz narrative. In the contemporaneous 1980s, Peggy Sue (Kathleen Turner) is depressed because her husband Charlie (Nicolas Cage) had an affair. At their 25th high school reunion (they were high school sweethearts—he’s the only person she’s ever fucked!), Peggy Sue has an episode of some kind and faints and wakes up back in high school.
