I'm currently making my way through David Rasche's filmography. How in the hell has this movie escaped Rifftrax? It would've been more tolerable with Mike, Kevin and Bill's riffs.
Shout out to my fave blog: @sevenandtheraggedtiger because her 80′s shit posting is top notch. The more Duran and Depeche Mode the better.

Let's Talk About Mare Winningham, Shall We?
John Hughes made some great movies. The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off are phenomenal. Pretty in Pink is totally solid. Even Sixteen Candles and Weird Science have their moments, if you're willing to look past the racism and general misogyny. But did you know that John Hughes didn't make the movie St. Elmo's Fire? Despite it's super John Hughes-y cast? It's the truth! Joel Schumacher made it instead, which probably explains why it's so boring and awful. But let's get to the important thing: Mare Winningham.
Who is Mare Winningham? Honestly, if you haven't seen St. Elmo's Fire, you probably wouldn't know. She pops up on TV shows from time to time, and she was even nominated for an Oscar one time for a movie you've never heard of, but St. Elmo's was definitely her biggest starring role. And what a role! She plays Wendy Beamish, a sad, rich virgin who dresses like a cross between a nursing home lost-and-found and a Cabbage Patch doll, pines insanely for bad boy Rob Lowe, and is somehow exclusively friends with people who are better-looking, better-dressed, have better social skills, and are just generally about 1000 times cooler than her.
What is up with this character? Am I the only person who was extremely weirded-out by her presence in this film? And her fashions? Seriously, watch the first five minutes, and tell me you weren't confused about whether she Wendy was one of the other character's weird moms or spinster aunts.
On a completely unrelated note, here's Mare singing on The Gong Show (at 12:15) under an assumed name. For reals.
Born This Way is a little too 80s for my tastes. I like it much more than I did on first listen, but still.
