‘Film: “St Elmo’s Fire”‘
courtesy of ‘dbking’
The 1985 movie St. Elmo’s Fire opens in Roosevelt Hospital, with a drunken Rob Lowe getting arrested by an MPD officer for drunk driving. Judd Nelson plays his friend, a Congressman’s staffer who drops the name of his employer to try to get his friend off. And, of course, they all head right back to the bar. And now? It’s going to be a TV show.
Of course, the movie features Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Rob Lowe and Demi Moore, so it’s got that much going for it. Perhaps we’ll get lucky and the TV show will at least have interesting people in it?
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
had to watch the movie after this post…literally finished 1 minute ago…it had been a while. goodstuff.
this is a great idea. i’m all for getting a “dramedy” series set in DC. as long as it’s not as inane, vapid, annoying and duplicative as “Friends”
