So I watched an informercial for the 80's Gold CD collection, watched (most of) Footloose (FOR THE FIRST TIME), and recited Ferris Bueller all in one weekend.
I think I need to have an 80's party for my birthday.
In three weeks and two days.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

FOR THE FIRST TIME
!?!
Wow. I won't tell you how many times I saw it in the theater. Though that was not as high a number as my parents thought it was - it was the go to movie to say I was seeing when we snuck into something R rated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Footloose was the movie that prompted me to buy my first TV. A friend said he'd watched it on late night cable and I realised that without one, who knew how many other airings I'd miss?

What I meant to say was: 80s party in 3 weeks and 2 days, woo-hoo!
That may not have come across.

I still remember when Footloose had recently come out and I saw a couple of kids trying to do the two-people-one-walkman dancing scene. It may have worked well out in a field, but on a city street ... nsm. The cord got tangled up on a parking meter, which kind of ruined the effect.

Footloose, Fame, Flashdance, and another 80's movie that begins with "F" are all ones I haven't seen.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I went to see Footloose seven times in the theatre. I think it was my first hint that I *might* have a problem.

I've never seen Footloose.
I don't particularly want to.
I also have managed to avoid seeing Dirty Dancing in its entirety. But I have seen Lost Boys more times than I can keep track of, and plan on watching it again Real Soon Now.
