the outsiders fansite please read! (this like ruined my day)
Hey everyone ok so im gonna try to make this short. So in my 8th grade english class we just finished reaildimg the outsiders and are goimg to watch it tomorrow. Well ive already seen to two times and love it. My friemd and i onsess over it like we think dallys cute. So of course i look stuff up about the movie. Well i looked up this website that said it was approved by S.E. Hinton the author but itnis a fan website. Well when i got on there i clicked on the some of the links like the first one was like actors imfo. It gave like addresses for fanmail. Then below it it gave inteuctions and thats when it started to get weird. It said stuff like you should be lucky if they even read this. You should always type it so they domt have to try tovread your handwriting, only use 12 point font. You should even be lucky if they took time to read it. Only say certain stuff because honestly they dont really care about you. And there was more!!!! I was like what the crap! And then i went back and started lookin at more stuff and there was a picture i wanted to see by some writing so i clicked on it and it brought me to an interview by the characters andnthis is were it got worse! Like the people whole played the characters cussed like a lott and were always using the f word over and over ( i know people cuss but keep reading) also they all ralked about how there goal was to get laid get drunk alll the time have drug deallers and how they would get laid with random fans. Have contest like things to see who could be the first to have sex with cherry. And how they talked the maid at the plaza hotel to give them keys to every room and apparemtly they trashed the rooms like put surrand wrap on toilets vasaline on all doornobs paper on all the beds. How they were tryimg to sneak into clubs like the underage ones and a lot more bad stuff and how one day they heard matt dillon in the trailer beside them bangimg some random girl and how whem she came out they all gave her a round of applause. Plus there was more bad stuff. Anyway after i got done reading it i was nearly in tears! It made me so upset because how would u feel if uou really liked this movie thoight they were cute blah blah and found at that. So i told my friend and she got upset too. But the more i thought about it the more it didmt make sense. Inwas thinking they could get in a lotn of trouble for havin those keys and doin all that stuff and vandalizing all of those rooms. With peoplenin them? Everyome isnt gonna be outta their rooms at the same time. Also if you know ralph macchio they always say hes known like not to have done annnything bad. Like innosent and they woilda got in a lot of trouble sneakim in to clibs etc. So i was just womdering if any of you could tell me your thoughts if you think this is real or not. Or if you could tell because this like ruined my day here is the website www.theoutsidersbookandmovie.com ps. The only reason i think this could be real is that it does iclude factual imfo about the book/movie and also if you want to read the interview with them that i read click on a picture thats what i did. Amd to read the fanmail thing click on actors imfo. Please help tell me weather thisnis real or fake because its very dissapointing. Thanksnfor your time(: -stay gold.

Maybe give some free advice about: Doesn't Fit Any Of These Categories?
I wasn't able to find the interview, but of course it's real. Those kids terrorized the hotel staff where they stayed - it's pretty well documented... Coppola, the director, was even said to encourage the bad behaviour to help the boys get into character.
The fan mail stuff is VERY good advice for writing to any 'celebrity'. It might hurt you to hear it, but following the advice on the site makes it far more likely your letter will get read and answered. That's just life: People can't sit around and read fan mail for ever and most actors can’t afford to pay someone to do it for them. So rude letters which are tough to read and make many demands tend to go unanswered. Actors are only people. Send them a nasty, demanding letter based on a movie they made 20 years ago and they’ll toss it away. Send them a nice, short, easy to read letter with thanks and a polite, easy-to-fulfill request, and you are way more likely to get a response.
And as for the drugs and vandalism - I'm sure it is true. These guys were teens on a movie shoot in the 80s. It would be perfectly expected for them to behave that way , especially if it was being encouraged and allowed.
Although it sucks to find out that actors are people too - they are. It can be disappointing, but in the end, you need to be okay with it. The characters are made up.

Ahh The Outsiders. I remember reading that in 8th grade. Amazing book, amazing movie. I'm glad you enjoy it as well. Anyway;
Everything they said could have been real. Or it may have been a joke.
Back in those times, you could do really stupid things and not get in the amount of trouble you would get in today. I don't know if you'd ever seen Stand By Me, but Corey Feldman said in an interview while the kids were filming the movie, they al snuck off and went to a strip club, smoked their first joins, got drunk for the first time, etc.
Everybody has ideas and dreams about how they want their favorite actors to be, but they're not always going to be true.
This is all news to me, I never knew any of this. I agree that I'm a little shocked Ralph Macchio would take part in these things, but he could have. They were all really young when this movie was made, so obviously they were going to act out and do stupid things. Don't let that change your opinion about them. They're all very respectable actors now.
I'm sorry those interviews dissapointed you, chin up. Feel free to inbox me if you have anything else you'd like to ask/discuss.
