I saw the 1984 version last night that starred a very youthful Kevin Bacon..
To be frank Real Woman, I did not care for the movie..
Like so much of what Hollywood produces, my husband and I felt it was unfair to Christians..
I am not judging anyone who likes that movie, but we can not recommend it to members of our church.
Awwww Fash, sorry to hear that. I thought you'd be able to relate to the no dancing rules. :(
Quote from: "Real Woman"
Real Woman, I feel just terrible about this..
My husband and I felt there was a strong anti Christian bias.
It's been a long time since I've seen it. I just remember it having a strong bias towards dancing :)

I remember the movie quite well, I dont understand. How do you figure it was unfair to Christians?
The movie was focused around a Town not allowing "Rock and roll music & dancing" because the Christian community (mostly the pastor) was worried it influenced the younger generation to "party,Drink,have sex and basically get out of hand, the minister banned it because his son died when he drove drunk on grad night.

That is what I mean Keeper, it portrays Christians as extremists and anti fun.

Err No, Christian!! Not Christians, It was one person, and his judgement was misled for the simple fact his son died, did you not watch the movie in full? If anything this movie shows how he over come his fears and seen that NOT everyone is going to kill them self because they listen to music or dance. in the end they danced,laughed,had fun.
Sorry Fash you got the meaning of this movie all wrong.
not sure why you would waste two hours watching this crap movie...a good movie has to have something blow up real good and there must be lots of blood and body parts scattered around to be any good....Think Generation Kill, Zero Dark 30 or saving Private Ryan...now those are worth watching......not some flashdance gayboy swayze wannabe.

I'm not into war movies, but Saving Private Ryan was a great film.

No Keeper, I mean Christians..
The pastor is the face of the church and his actions reflect poorly on all Christians in our opinion.
And sometimes people's personal experiences affect they way they do their jobs.
I saw Kevin Bacon and his brother playing with they're band at the PNE a few years ago, they were quite good :)
Quote from: "Real Woman"
Do you mean Hollywood movie directors and writers?
Quote from: "Obvious Li"
I was 17 I think, I took my girlfriend to the movies, she was in love with Kevin Pig. You know how it is, I would have done anything at that point to get laid, even see Footloose

I guess I still don't understand.
you do get its just a movie right? not real life? It could have been Barney Rubble acting as the Pastor
So, basically you are saying Christians arnt allowed to make mistakes and if they do... it reflects bad on the Church they go to... am I close?
Quote from: "Obvious Li"
Thank you OL.
I never liked the movie (never even sat thru the entirety) because it was "shit", plain and simple.
Sorry I don't want to offend anyone but IMHO wasting your time watching it is bad enough but discussing it in terms of its storyline, meaning or religious connotations means you need a hobby......Bad.
About the only thing that turd of film is good for is joke material regarding how Kevin Bacon will do just about anything for money.
I guess I need a hobby.... bad
man, excuse fucking me for asking a question.

[size=200]BULLSEYE!![/size]
That movie was one of the only flicks I could stand Kevin Bacon in and it was solely because there was dancing involved.
Keeper, for what it's worth I appreciate you clarifying the storyline. You've made some good points.
Quote from: "Real Woman"
What was the name of that movie where he became invisible?
Hollow Man
My husband HATED that movie because he beat an animal (a dog I think).
Quote from: "Keeper"
That's it, thanx Keeps.
Quote
I don't remember that part. I remember what a prick Kevin Bacon was in that movie. That and the transition to invisibility looked like a very painful one.
Quote from: "Real Woman"
I hope nobody is upset that we didn't like Footloose?
:|
You're allowed to dislike
I don't think many thought of it as anti-Christian though. Mainly that the preacher character needed a change of heart. I doubt anybody who saw the movie came away with the impression that Christians were bad people.

You didn't like how it portrayed Christians and that's okay! I just wanted you to know that really nobody got a bad impression of Christians after seeing it. The plot of the movie was already pretty well far-fetched as it was.
The movie had a small town bias too, but nobody really thought that small towns were actually like that.

You raise a good point Reomero..
Putting aside my personal feelings, the plot was silly.
Jeezuz, I can't believe you guys are still talking about that stupid fucking movie from the 80's? It was hardly The Godfather or Lawrence of Arabia people. If you want to start a movie thread, can we at least talk about movies that are actually worth a couple of hours? :roll:
LOL Romero!
Quote from: "Romero"
I Googled it and discovered Tremors received seven rotten tomatoes out of a possible ten.

Another example of how Kevin Bacon will never pass on a script no matter how crappy it may be.

The problem with taking on shit movies like that is you are won't considered for the big payday jobs. However, I doubt that anyone is considering Kevin Bacon for a major starring role.

Not so fast Shen, he was in more than a few decent movies; Apollo 13, Sleepers, A few Good Men and Mystic River to name a few.
He is a weird actor because he obviously has talent and gets some decent parts but he also does a crap load of schlock films as well. He is also noted for doing bizarre cameo appearance as well. The guy must work non-stop but not all of it is good.

How does an actor brand themselves when they keep accepting roles in crap movies? Unless I was desparate for a paycheque I would give them a wide berth.

Maybe he has a lot of expenses or maybe he just loves the work.
Kevin Bacon could simply be one of those people who could care less about his rep as an actor and simply wants to perform for its own sake. Throughout the history of Hollywood there has been tons of actors just like that but most of them never became household names. Kevin Bacon is kind of unique in that respect so I guess he has branded himself pretty well.

I am guessing he has a lot of expenses. I couldn't imagine say Nicolas Cage taking on some on second rate roles once he hit paydirt.
I liked Kevin Bacon in Mystic River and The Woodsman.
There's a lot of good movies I have never seen.

So anyway now I've got the song "Footloose" in my head the past few days. Thank you all so very much.
Oh well, it's still a lot better than "Let's Hear It for the Boy".
Oh no. Oh @#$%

Well, I'm able to separate the artist from their art. I'm not interested in being lectured by these narcissistic airheads about their causes. However, Tim Robbins did a first rate job in that movie. I really, really liked Shawshank Redemption.

true dat........Anton Shugur........is a nasty peice of work..........i recommend two more Quentin movies "Reservoir Dogs" and "True Romance".............both absolutely great movies........Fash may have a problem with the language though
also a more recent one called "Winters Bone"......very good or "50 dead men walking" true story and very very good
Quote from: "Obvious Li"

We saw Fargo Obvious Li, it was not the kind of movie I thought it would be..
The one scene that I remember most even though I wish I didn't was the man in the wood chipper.

Those are both good films Renee. I remember I was about 14 or so the first time I saw Dusk To Dawn. You talk about a film that starts out one way and takes a dramatic turn, it's that one. Harvey Keitel was amazing as the preacher. Tarantino rocks!!

So the guy with the Tattoo on his face gave him the bar tab? is that why he was all angry? :lol:
haven't seen this its on my things to do list.
The guy with the tatt on his face is his son. He just found out his cousin(the guy he beats the shit out of) was raping his 13 year old daughter who hung herself. His son was handing him his late daughter's diary which she wrote about being raped by uncle Bully.
Watch the movie, it's pretty good.
so, No bar Tab?
