The lead, whoever he is, is no Kevin Bacon.
He's a dancer, is what. And just adding to the number of famous people from Massachusetts. Seriously, is everyone funny from Mass.??
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hear that there are funny people in Canada, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So's Zac! C'mon, people!

Mostly from Canada, more than in Canada.
I kid, I kid. Sorry, On The Spot (vintage edition).

Because books.
I've never seen Footloose. For real. I saw Dirty Dancing roughly thirteen zillion times, but not Footloose.
And the remake still looks stupid to me.

Oh! You should see Footloose. I think it's a great film. I certainly preferred it to Dirty Dancing. But I was never a Swayze fan, so I'm a bit biased on that front.
The remake looks *empty*. Not that the original was Melville, or anything. Just not this vapid.
Though, I always had a problem with the ending. The town's problem is that dancing escalates to violence, right? And then, at the end, when the kids dance? Violence. QED.

No it's true. We are actually generally humourless. Funny people are forced to leave the country and become successful in America because we don't put up with those shenanigans here.

Hey. New board.
ita, IIRC Zac Efron was attached to the Footloose remake at one point. Don't know why that went away, but I'm guessing it was more his decision than theirs, since his name couldn't have hurt at the BO.

So he did. Glad to know my casting reflexes have some bearing in reality.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I might watch it...I like Dennis Quaid. But I don't think we need one.
