    Poor Dakota... She's pretty, successful, doesn't seem like a brat. And she still got stuck going to the prom with a giant nerd dressed like the Good Humor Man.

    Wait - isn't Dakota Fanning like 12 or 13? How can she go to a prom??


    Whatever. I wish her well. She's a great actor, and seems nice.

    Why was I not cc'd on the memo that went around America saying that we've made the collective decision to drop the article "the" from prom? Does that make me an old? If so, get off my damn lawn already.


    Honestly, I don't know what hell is going on anymore.

    I'm pretty sure that doesnt make you old, I'm pretty sure it makes you from New England. I went from thinking it was "the prom" to college in the midwest where I was made fun of for it.

    @ShravantiBeetle: I'm from New England and I called it 'the prom' too. But then that was eventually beaten out of me by time and history and TV, so now I call it "going to prom." And it's sad.

    @TableNine: I suppose if we're going to drop the definite article, we should capitalize it to 'Prom.' But then, in grad school, i was the Grammar Grouch, so what do i know.

    I need to whine that at least once a week, so thank you for providing an opportunity.


    And no one from New England drops the "the" even now...

    It's so refreshing to see a Hollywood teenager behave like a normal teenager and not mugging away and whatever, trying to behave like some 30 year old. Savor it, Dakota. 30 will come soon enough.

    I actually was wondering aloud about this to my wife just the other day. I almost bought her a pair of the 2009 glasses as a joke stocking stuffer because I thought they might be the last.


    So, I guess what I'm saying is thanks for this post.
