I
finally got around to watching Footloose. Yeah, I know it came out
over 30 years ago but this was not the kinda movie my parents
watched. Cam loves this movie and I've known that since I've known
her so after recording our Rockets & Chicken Chocket Award Show
we watched it. Its not exactly what I thought it was about. This is
the tale of a poor preacher Rev. Moore, played by John Lithgow, and
father of a dead son that just wants his quiet town to worship in
peace. But his undiagnosed with a multitude of mental disorders
daughter Ariel played by Lori Singer has other plans.
A new
kid from the big city named Ren McCormack played by Kevin Bacon shows
up to ruin everything. He can not believe that music and dancing are
not allowed. These are the two things he loves most in life! He takes
a shining to Ariel even though she's seen more penises than a
urologist. She is dating this guy that is 80's style asshole but she
doesn't care because fuck the system. The entire time this movie is
trying to nail it into my head that she is hot. She isn't. Not even
80's hot which would be bag lady style now.
