Footloose

[Abraham Smashington]

Really?

[Nathan]

No. You are delirious. It is the heat.

[Abraham Smashington]

I just dont get the love for this movie. At all. Even when people say it's nostalgia talking I don't get that. As a kid I like the Goonies because I could pretend that I could go on adventures. Karate Kid was the same way. I pretended (and then actually enrolled in classes) to know karate. But who wanted to be Kevin Bacon in this? I just don't get it.

[Nathan]

I never saw it until I was grown up. It is melodramaitc and very silly. I too took some Karate after seeing Karate Kid.

It was when music videos and all that shit started really get popular. The demographic, rebellious teenagers related nicely to the thought of prohibiting dancing and pop music.

[Abraham Smashington]

And those kids were fucking lame. seriously.

[PHEDG]

And those kids were fucking lame. seriously.

Dude...they played chicken with tractors!

And he drove a VW, that's foreign!

[Ed Hocken]

And those kids were fucking lame. seriously.

Well no shit, that town was epitome of white-bread ville.

But how is Footloose different from say Airborn? It's got the same set-up, just different gimicks.

[Abraham Smashington]

I don't pretend to say that Airborne is a good movie. It's so stupid it's entertaining. Plus I can relate to the preps vs dirts bullshit.

I can't relate to dancing in a fucking warehouse.

[Ed Hocken]

Well, there ya go. That explains why you don't like Footloose. You don't care for dancing. Other people feel the same way about skating. It's an issue of taste.

[Abraham Smashington]

Footloose is no better than High School Musical. Except that Chris Penn died before he could be Zac Efron's creepy uncle.

[Ed Hocken]

Well High School Musical is for kids of today. Much like Footloose was for kids and the youth of then. How is that any different then the shit we grew up on?
