#Iwatched Fresh Horses (1988) in which rich young #AndrewMcCarthy falls for an uneducated, possibly underage and sexually abused #MollyRingwald. The gritty story is conventionalized as film noir characters in a 1980s teen romance: Ringwald plays a terrific femme fatale, all pouty lips, longing eyes and unreliable hints of abuse, caught up with an uncertain McCarthy in a rescue fantasy, but little personal connection. Despite misogynist undertones the film manages a decent and realistic ending.

Shocked by Epstein’s birthday book? That culture was everywhere before feminism

Feminism exposed the ubiquity of child abuse, rape, sexual harassment and domestic violence – and helped fight that culture

#MollyRingwald and #AliSheedy, together again—this time on Single Drunk Female. We talk about their long history, that #BratPack bond (“there are four people in the world who went through what we did”), and #AndrewMcCarthy’s documentary that finally got them all talking.

Originally posted on May 18, 2019

An ’80s classic was at #1 40 years ago.

“Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security”

The Rave-Ups, Chance, 1990 on Epic

The Rave-Ups are likely best known as the band in Pretty in Pink. (Molly Ringwald’s sister Beth was in a relationship with Jimmer Podrasky, and Ringwald brought John Hughes to see the band).

This was their third and last studio album of the first go ’round (they put out a new album in 2022 on Omnivore). The single “Respectfully King of Rain” got some MTV airplay at the time but was not a major hit. They had a sound I really liked but never quite connected with a bigger audience.

My copy, via Academy Records in NYC, is a 1990 pressing in great shape despite a “cutout” hole punch in the upper left.
