Correction, he has been watching it downstairs and has now come up and put it on the bedroom TV.

I've never seen it either.

And judging by the squealing and girly giggling that went on in anticipation before the lasses I knew had an evening watching that and dirty dancing, it's not a film for me Grin

'Correction, he has been watching it downstairs and has now come up and put it on the bedroom TV.'

I'm ashamed for yer OP Sad

cheesesarnie · 04/04/2012 22:06

but its great. you have to dance while its on its the law

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2012 22:10

I don't think I have ever seen it all the way through. Kevin Bacon appears to be teaching another bloke to dance. Confused

Kevin Bacon apparently has no tooshy. A feat I previously thought only achieved by Mick Jagger.

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2012 22:20

OOh is that her from Fame?

Am I the only person in who thinks Kevin Bacon is ugly and the worst dancer in the world. He is so incredibly unattractive it puts me off the film completely. Sorry, I'm sure I'll offend but he's just butt ugly!!!!!!! Grin

yanbu footloose is an awful film and not in that so bad its good awful way id send your husband back down stairs and ban him till it has finished ,

SmethwickBelle · 04/04/2012 22:28

I love Kevin Bacon's Dance of Angst in the hangar. It's a great film, YADBU.

Goawaybob · 04/04/2012 22:28

WTF is a tooshy?

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2012 22:28

I wish it was Tremors-that was good. Grin

DH has got into bed-so no going downstairs MrsJay Sad

But now its Alien ressurection yay

Goawaybob · 04/04/2012 22:29

actually jealous of you having TV in bedroom

BackforGood · 04/04/2012 22:29

It's a great film if you like the "genre" - typical musical..... boy meets girl, things don't run smoothly, lots of music along the way, all end happily ever after.

That said, if I were reading or trying to get to sleep in bed, I would not be impressed with someone coming up and putting on anything I don't want to watch.

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2012 22:30

Oh no, what's that like bob?

AgentZigzag · 04/04/2012 22:31

Thanks for the alien resurrection heads up bob, always up for a bit of alien porn Grin

Oh, that's hellboy blokey...

BustersOfDoom · 04/04/2012 22:31

I saw it once back when it first came out. It was shite then and it's shite now. YANBU.

Mrsjay · 04/04/2012 22:31

has it been on long sparkling just stay and chat to us , who is the girl in it I cant remember her name she was in fame too , I love having a tv in my room i go and hide from teens and my husband and eat crisps and watch telly in peace

Goawaybob · 04/04/2012 22:35

cant really remmeber sparkling, predictable and storylineless - just what i need :) oh and a bit scary

Isnt that girl called lori something?

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2012 22:36

Half an hour to go MrsJay. Kevin Bacon is trying to convince them dancing is good now. Ooh is that her from Parenthood?

Tv in bedroom essential as DSs tend to monopolise TV with crappy american shows, or PS3, or Sky bloody Sports. Angry.

OP posts:
Mrsjay · 04/04/2012 22:38

his dancing is not good though Hmm I have seen that there is now a footloose stageshow ,

Mrsjay · 04/04/2012 22:40

Her name is lori singer and she was quite posh in Fame she used to play the cello .

AgentZigzag · 04/04/2012 22:41

Does anyone know how the big horrible bitch alien gets pregnant?

Does she self fertilise or something?

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2012 22:43

I used to love Fame but I bet if I watched it now I wouldn't know why. Grin
