Screening Party
Screening Party
Author:
Mare_s still P.O.-ed at Rob in the next scene, in which the gang shows up at St. Elmo_s on Halloween night sporting Groucho Marx-style nose glasses. "This is the one night a year where Judd Nelson feels normal," says Tony.

They also watched Glitter. Though each film endures its share of cheap shots (_Whitney Houston_s wig in The Bodyguard is like a tricornered hat. I keep waiting for her to cross the Delaware._), Hensley and Company are just as likely to talk seriously about what the films mean to them. _The thing that killed me about Saturday Night Fever when I first saw it,_ recalls one party regular, _is that I knew I was desperate like Donna Pescow, but I wanted to be glamorous like Karen Lynn Gorney. That struggle has stayed with me my whole life._ Screening Party also explores the lives of its _characters_ outside of the parties_their hopes and dreams, fortunes and foibles, and how the ritual of getting together once a month to lust after Gregory Harrison in For Ladies Only or make fun of Barbra Streisand in A Star Is Born comes to mean more to them than they_d ever have imagined. So if you_re the kind of person who drops everything when you happen upon St. Elmo_s Fire on cable, if you can_t bite into a strawberry without thinking of Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke making a mess of the kitchen in 91/2 Weeks, if you_ve always wanted to watch Al Pacino get leathered up and go Cruising but aren_t man enough to do it alone, this book_s for you. So grab a seat on the couch. The party_s just beginning. Dennis Hensley is a Los Angeles_based journalist whose writing has appeared in Movieline, Premiere, The Advocate, and other publications. He is the author of the novel Misadventures in the (213).
