Still not sure why they decided to call themselves that. But it was still a great movie and I understand why it's an 80's icon. This is why I want to be an actress, I want to make people feel, to make them think. There is no way to walk away from that film without reflecting on how you treat others. And maybe you go back to school or work the next day and see that person you just can't stand and you end up treating them the same, but maybe you stop and just leave it be and try a little harder to be accepting. It's hard, I judge people constantly, it's unfortunate really. How do I know their background? How they were raised, what their thoughts and feelings are, if they are insecure of the very thing I am judging them for. Who am I to put them in a category when I haven't even given them a chance? But we all do it, and we all want to be accepted and to be loved by the people we idolize. What a messed up circle! Maybe we can never actually break the circle, but I hope that more people try and stretch and twist it and find ways to accept and be accepted.
