Lambada: The Forbidden Dance
Or, as Spy noted, the INSUFFICIENTLY Forbidden Dance.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dirty Dancing?
I wouldn't call every knife a weapon, although any knife can be used as a weapon -- like a hammer, or a can of hairspray. I've used lots of knives for lots of things, but never as a weapon.

Lambada: The Forbidden Dance
Yes! My band is playing an (I hate the) 80s night this fall and we're trying to come up with a theme for the songs we're going to cover. I'm thinking all songs from dance movies would work pretty well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wouldn't call every knife a weapon
Neither would I. But I wouldn't expect to be challenged for saying knives are weapons.
lisah -- Lambada is a 1990 movie.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ah! That's what I love! A good Buffista debate on terminology.
However, the thing that popped out at me when I read the HB snippet was this:
"I think I'm really hoping to do another 'Catwoman,'" Berry told reporters
You think so? You aren't sure? I mean dang, if she can't tell if she actually hopes so, how is anyone else supposed to guess?
I just found out that she is diabetic. I did not know that.

I'm notoriously sloppy and capricious about language, but I don't think a knife is a weapon in the same way a gun is a weapon. Knives have many non-weapon uses. (Ask me again next week, maybe I'll go the other way.)

Did you find out in an ad? I'd read it somewhere, but I've recently seen she's a spokesperson of some sort for a diabetes-related organisation.

I wouldn't either. But I think the history of the knife, the explicit design and use of some models to cause pain in an opponent leans me towards an easy weapon designation.
Sickles -- there I might waffle, even though I've trained with one. Which suddenly reminded me T-Boz is a spokesperson for a sickle-cell anaemia organisation. God, we black women are sick, aren't we?

I'd be easier based on the model. The knives in my kitchen are like the hammers in my closet -- not made to be weapons, although they'd do a lot of damage easily.
