Who is this Molly Ringworm and why should I care about what she says?
No black, mexican, asian, trans, lesbian, gay characters?
The easiest thing in the world, is to look at old movies and TV shows, and point out things which would not be permitted today.
If she’s going to say that this director somehow was bigoted, what does that make her, since she willingly participated in these allegedly objectionable movies???
Oh please. Lets apply today’s idiotic values to everything going back to Rome.
She’s trying to #MeToo herself out of obscurity, by going after a dead man that made her famous in the first place.
“Molly Ringwald Explains Why She’s ‘Troubled’ by ‘The Breakfast Club’ Three Decades Later”
Gee. Could it be she’s a HAS-BEEN and wants a little attention?
Oy! These Hollywood people and their EGOS!
“finding certain scenes in the director’s films to be misogynistic and homophobic”
Did it not occour to you that the 80s were DIFFERENT, as in non wussy?
At least you are bitching about how there were no blacks in any of his films...
Cripes, it’s like every childhood crush I had has turned into barking mad ultra libs.
If she thinks this will make her relevant, she should probably think again.
Long live Long Duck Dong!!!
The rape scene was also disgusting.
It was a fun movie, with great songs from The Psychedelic Furs. It was a movie that many people took too seriously back then, just as Molly wants to do right now.
It was a sophisticated Teen Soap Opera, entertaining, engaging, but not much more.
Some days I feel like I'm living in Mao's China or Pol Pot's Cambodia right before things got real interesting.
Sorry Molly, you took the money and the fame, you have to own it. Oh, I wonder how that actress fared after you took her “big break” away from her. You know, it was her decision if she wanted to appear nude in the film, not yours.
She sounds really smart, but let’s look at this from a different perspective. Same thing with Friends and all those old shows. When you see how sexist or homophobic both the writers and the characters now appear, REALIZE THINGS HAVE GOTTEN BETTER. Realize we are now not sexist or homophobic any more, and get off our backs.
Dong...where is my auto-mo-billleee?
The Breakfast Club was an awful movie. Like a kiddie version of The Big Chill, a bunch of whiners sitting around over-analyzing their boring lives. Blech.
But only, Molly, if the contemporary context is an improvement over the past. Think of all the dark times in history when large groups of movers thought the CC was most desirable.
1> Bender AND Claire were and are acting exactly like teenagers did and still do. Boys still try to peek up girls skirts and girls still secretly like the attention when they’re attracted to the boy.
2> There’s nothing wrong with that.
3> I notice Ringwald has no problem about the attacks on Bender for being a white male loser or the Jocks or the Nerds. No - those stereotypes were and are perfectly acceptable in her little peabrain of a mind because Cosmopolitian and Facebook haven’t told her to think about that.
to wit - the SJWs of this world are moving themselves further and further away from actual reality.
Well effin' duh! What's the old saying? "Time change." And they sure do. So naturally if you go back and look at art, literature, culture - anything but fundamental mathematics and physics...it has changed.
Sheesh, enjoy it for what it was when it was. Oh, and quit taking yourself so seriously. These were purely fun/funny movies - meant to be enjoyed and forgotten. Though I would like to hear the rest of the joke the one character was telling himself as he crawled through the ceiling above the tiles...
