>Bender, ducks under the table where my character, Claire, is sitting, to hide from a teacher. While there, he takes the opportunity to peek under Claire’s skirt and, though the audience doesn’t see, it is implied that he touches her inappropriately. I was quick to point out to my daughter that the person in the underwear wasn’t really me, though that clarification seemed inconsequential. We kept watching, and, despite my best intentions to give context to the uncomfortable bits, I didn’t elaborate on what might have gone on under the table. She expressed no curiosity in anything sexual, so I decided to follow her lead, and discuss what seemed to resonate with her more. Maybe I just chickened out. But I kept thinking about that scene. I thought about it again this past fall, after a number of women came forward with sexual-assault accusations against the producer Harvey Weinstein, and the #MeToo movement gathered steam. If attitudes toward female subjugation are systemic, and I believe that they are, it stands to reason that the art we consume and sanction plays some part in reinforcing those same attitudes.
>In the shooting script of “The Breakfast Club,” there was a scene in which an attractive female gym teacher swam naked in the school’s swimming pool as Mr. Vernon, the teacher who is in charge of the students’ detention, spied on her. The scene wasn’t in the first draft I read, and I lobbied John to cut it. He did, and although I’m sure the actress who had been cast in the part still blames me for foiling her break, I think the film is better for it.
molly ringwald = cunt

T-thanks *nervous laughter*… did you hear I got a new car recently
David Moore
it really isn't
Joseph Perez
You guys realize she's referring to dudes no older than like 17 right?
Brayden Powell
Some chick asked if I was a virgin when I was like 22, and said it was okay. I'm pretty sure she was interested, or at least trying to set me up with someone. But I pussied out and fled the scene. And yes she was hot.
Anthony Walker
should have said you were inexperienced but not a virgin, usually worked for me back in the day
Gabriel Ramirez
John Hughes movies have aged terribly just like most 80s high school movies
Lincoln Harris
>molly ringwald = cunt
Why user, what an ugly thing to say about the greatest red-headerd tomboy the silver screen has ever seen.
Also she's right. The scene she described being cut would have made no sense at all in The Breakfast Club.
Alexander Lewis
She was talking about being in highschool and still a virgin. Not 27 years old.
Kayden Lopez
I claimed I wasn't a virgin before making my escape. It kind of came out of nowhere though so I wasn't expecting it and I'm sure she could tell I was uncomfortable
Ian Harris
lol I did the same thing
>girl who is a literal stranger at my wage slave job thinks I'm cute and gives me her number
>we text for a bit, eventually meet up for a walk and everything is cool
>she invites me back to her place, lays me in bed with her, puts a movie on her laptop and outright places my hand on her leg
>I get way too nervous being a 23 y/o virgin shutin with zero experience
>manage to make it through the entire movie without reciprocating anything or showing any interest at all and promptly leave once the movie finishes
>never talk to her again
Life just isn't for me
Nathaniel Ross
The forbidden zone was her pussay
John Wood
women can notice if something is off about you with a fucking sniff off your cologne, if they get the sense you are larping they will escape ALWAYS
Ayden Stewart
The kid was like 15 give him a fucking break.
Jack White
she's not a cunt, she's ignorant like most people nowadays, the scene works because Bender is a piece of shit and it shows him doing something reprehensible, and he's punished instantaneously by Claire hitting him, same with Vernon spying on a naked woman, he's basically the villain and that makes him look bad, just because something is on a screen it doesn't mean it is being endorsed
Sebastian Torres
>the scene works because Bender is a piece of shit
Except nobody ultimately sees the character that way. The scene is portrayed as quirky light hearted fun when it's degrading sexual harassment. Need I remind you they end up together by the end of the movie? Normalizing that kind of behavior in a mainstream film is irresponsible and kind of fucked
Eli Stewart
The Breakfast Club may have aged the most poorly out of any movie for me.
Brayden Howard
Try watching Weird Science or 16 Candles if you think that.
Eli Barnes
>what is character redemption
Dominic Wilson
I genuinely like Weird Science more. Still has aged poorly like you said. Have never seen 16 candles.
Isaac King
T2 aged worse
Parker Cruz
The best John Hughes movie is Uncle Buck. No contest.
Kayden Jenkins
>he's basically the villain
He's not though. He's an antagonist but he's not a villain. The whole point of the movie is that the conflicts between the characters come from societal constructs and lack of understanding.
It would have made zero fucking sense for a gym teacher to be skinny dipping in a school pool on a weekend. I don't mind the occasional obvious excuse for tits in a movie. I like tits, and I think actresses like Linnea Quigley should never wear clothes... unless it's chilly or something. But The Breakfast Club is better for not having that scene.
Austin Harris
>Except nobody ultimately sees the character that way.
What? Bender is not a good guy. He is a threatening piece of trash that causes nothing but problems for everyone around him.
Noah Brown
Woman sabotages other woman out of jealousy, a tale as old as time.
Daniel Taylor
I haven't seen a Terminator movie in probably 15 years. T2 and The Breakfast Club are a little hard to compare though. Wouldn't doubt it aged like shit all the same.
William Thompson
you're delusional
Ian Harris
That's why Molly liked him.
Wyatt Carter
You will never be a woman
