Rec. #179 (abbrev.): Pleasantville

What: Remember when Pleasantville came out in (good grief) 1998? We quite liked it. It's still good! Modern teen siblings sucked into 1950s television show, Reese Witherspoon, innocence, complacency, irony, William H. Macy, jukebox, black and white, Tobey Maguire, nostalgia, censorship, Joan Allen, slow color, Mary Sue, painting, a bit of Jenny Lewis, courtroom, freedom of choice, bubblegum, Jeff Daniels, malt shop, Skip, rainstorm, poodle skirts, sweater sets, book burning

Representative quote: "Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley."
