Anya ,'Get It Done'
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.
I am just happy when collarbones do not look like handlebars. People are not bicycles.
To my abiding shame, I don't think I've actually seen either Footloose or Flashdance. Bits of them caught on the movie channel, maybe. But overall, no.
This is me, except for the abiding shame. Weirdly enough, I was even 8-9 the year Footloose came out, and do not remember a thing about it as a cultural moment.
There are people posting in this very thread who were barely alive when Footloose came out.
I was 1.
I've memorized the soundtrack to the Broadway show, if that counts for anything. Still haven't seen the flick, though.
t enqueues
if it came out in 84, i was only 5 and like others i've only seen bits and pieces of it.
hell, i just sat down and watched St Elmo's Fire for the first time last night. annoying movie. there are no likeable characters at all.
Hehhhh. It was already in my queue.
I decided against putting St Elmos Fire in there already. I need to see Say Anything first.
Footloose, eh. I waited too long to see it, I suppose. I am however practically unable to stop watching "Dirty Dancing" if I find it. Have you not seen it? That was one of the movies Mom said I was too young for, actually the both were, iirc. I liked the SEF people, but I still feel younger than them, by eons.I would have dropped Judd the Repub easily, also. Ah, Lloyd. He still needs to call me.
Say Anything i've seen. i'd like it more if the actress could act.
The new Judd Winick cartoon (with a very Buffy-like premise) Juniper Lee had an episode recently where the characters played a rocked up version of "I Sing The Body Electric."
Is this a TV cartoon, and if so, when/where does it air?
Erika--I love DD. That one I saw when it came out--and quite a few times since!
Toon at various times during the week.
I thought she did ok...nothing brilliant, though. It's kind of too bad she didn't have say AH's chops. But this enabled John to own the movie so I can't really complain about it.
