Okay. The movie St. Elmo’s Fire. What in the living fuck happened there. Just watched it. What in. The. Living. Fuck.
1) This is the whitest movie I’ve ever seen. There is a black prostitute, some “Arabs” who may rape Demi Moore, a Korean businessman played by a Latino...
2) Billy (Rob Lowe) gropes his friend Wendy, then basically tries to rape Jules (Demi Moore), then saves her life (she tries to kill herself by leaving her window open in the winter), then asks Wendy for her virginity as a going away present...
Which she gives him... also Emilio Estevez sees Andie MacDowell ONCE and goes FUCKING CRAZY and stalks her for MONTHS, culminating in his going to her ski cabin where she’s with her boyfriend, screaming at them, forcing her to kiss him, then he drives away laughing...
Rob Lowe has a saxophone rock band, Ally Sheedy’s art design work is fucking bizarre because it’s just men’s chests on a giant wall in her home, Andrew McCarthy has a BASKET FULL OF PICTURES OF HER... WOW. Just... wow. This was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
Demi Moore somehow trying to kill herself by making herself cold in front of billowing blue curtains was PHENOMENAL. Also she had a giant clown head in her room. Also she and Rob Lowe are so fucked up and far gone and their friends are like “That’s Billy and Jules for ya”
How about when Wendy is at a soup kitchen at the cook is like “we might not have enough food” then Ally Sheedy and Demi show up and EAT THE FOOD FOR A FREE LUNCH while a homeless woman watches?
Also every character in this film thinks they are really funny and none of them are funny people? Like nothing they say is funny? Which makes sense why they’re friends with each other?
It’s amazing because I really have loved everyone in that cast in so many things and then watching that was like watching a bus go off a bridge and land on a ferry boat and explode
Oh also Billy tries to rape Jules in front of his house where his WIFE AND CHILD are inside. Billy, that ol’ rascal!

He has one scene where he looks at his kid for a few seconds
