Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I suck at school year math.

Unless you're hot guys, in which case you can atone by dating me.

Strangely enough, St. Elmo's Fire is playing here at work. Good times.

I'm not actually all that young, you know. I mean, younger than Jesus, but not by much.
There are people posting in this very thread who were barely alive when Footloose came out.

Ann, that's a ferret.
...and also people who received their college degrees while the title song and "Let's Hear It for the Boy" were on the charts....

I was around 17 when Footloose came out. I'm not a huge Kevin Bacon fangirl, but I have to admit watching him shake his ass in this movie was somewhat formative.

I was one year old. Maybe a bit younger. Great film though. I'm glad I saw it before Kevin Bacon and general creepiness became forever linked in my brain.

I'm a year older than Calli, but oh, my, yes--I would have to agree with this statement!

Footloose was my go-to movie for telling my parents that's what we were seeing when we were sneaking into something R rated. I think that worked for The Terminator. Possibly also Up a Creek, which one of my friends tried to analyze as a continuation of Shakespearean tropes.

Footloose was never high on my must-watch list, I gotta admit.
I saw In A Lonely Place this past weekend, which was a difficult and desperate little movie. I've never seen Bogey look uglier or creeper, which is mostly the point.
