so i'm watching the end of Footloose when the kids are all at the high school dance that they have fought the whole movie to have. (i was flipping channels on a Sunday, so there)
kevin bacon and his classmates are all dancing their hearts out to kenny loggins. it can be done, i've seen it.
i'm noticing how much that must have been a nightmare to film.
watch it sometime, at least the end. glitter is CONSTANTLY falling from the ceiling, onto the the dancers. it's not a special effect. remember, 80's movie, no digital. hard specks of glitter. i'm sure there were minor injuries.
and goofy lookin chris penn (yes, sean penn's brother) does his little dance, which he practices the whole movie with kevin bacon. and all i could think of is his line in the movie reservoir dogs, "YOU STOP POINTIN THAT GUN AT MY DADDY!"
and it makes me think of my buddy steve szoke, and how he made me laugh by quoting that line. ya had to be there...
anyway, i guess it's just funny where the mind can take you when kevin bacon is involved.
i wonder what he's doing right now....
