It's been really great seeing Demi Moore on the awards circuit this year. Like so many, I grew up watching Moore movies, from those Brat Pack flicks on VHS as a kid, to her Oscar nominated performance in The Substance last year. I think my favorite Moore movies are her dramas. A Few Good Men, The Juror, Now and Then, Ghost and Disclosure. I think one of my favorites was 1988's The Seventh Sign. That film scared the bejabbers out of me.
Demi was also responsible for giving us our best view of a naked Rob Lowe. Although Lowe had show a wee bit of skin previously, (The Outsiders, The Hotel New Hampshire) it was 1986's About Last Night that gave us a real view of Rob's rump. We also got a quick flash of his penis with that 'open fridge' scene. We got a slightly better view a couple of years later when his sex tape came out, but at this point, this was the most skin Lowe had bared on screen.
I think it was in the early 1990's, when I was still in Jr. High that I first saw About Last Night. It was rental and I remember watching with a group of friends. I remember crushing hard over Lowe at the time and working hard to refrain from showing it during the watch. Thankfully, I didn't catch the quick penis flash when it aired. It was quick, and I only knew it happened as some of the girls started giggling, then someone asked if everyone saw it.
This of course, let to me renting the movie again a week or so later and watching, and pausing, the scene when I was in my own home alone. I remember finding it hard to difficult to find the moment, and had to keep rewatching and rewinding. At one point my older brother walked in to mock my listening to Sheena Easton's So Far, So Good. The Easton song played over a montage of scenes in the film, just prior to Rob's rod made it's brief appearance.
Making love was easy...being in love difficult.
Unless three's an upset, I expect Demi to take home the Oscar Sunday night. She's had a winning season so far, and her acceptance speeches have been exceptional. I'm not sure how she'll top her speech after winning The Golden Globe, but look forward to seeing and hearing if she wins.
As nice as the frontal flash was, I think my favorite moment of Lowe skin was the shower scene below. It's quick, (again) but love how it's filmed and how we see the lines of curves of his back and butt.
