Footloose

Now, I’ve never been a fan of dance flicks.  Music flicks are usually bad enough, dance flicks make me very nervous.  One of the worst dance flicks I ever had to endure as a kid was Footloose.  This was the teaser:

A city boy comes to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned.

OK, I’m “small town” guy.  The idea that a real pretty little “city boy” was going to enlighten me about “rock music” pissed me off.  And, in order to become enlightened, I would have to dance like a ballerina nailed it.  This movie had no chance.  In order to get some, I did have to watch it a time or to. I went in hating it, I left hating it.  0 thumbs up.  No quantifying ifs.  It just sucked.  Kevin Bacon had a rough time recovering with me.  Not really sure he ever did. Right up there with “Fame”, always a staple on my all time worst movie lists.

So, you wanna guess what’s going to be released very, very, soon?

So, I really gotta know?
