Need a Laugh
Last night, we were flipping through the channels and in one of the 400 channels, we came across the movie Staying Alive. Does anyone else remember this movie? I told my husband you have to leave it here. I loved this show as a teenager. I informed him that I had this picture (as a poster) up on my wall in my bedroom with heart stickers all over it. (yes, that is the funny part).
So, he left it (and left the room) and I ended up watching the last 30 mins. How painful was that! That was probably one of the worst movies I have seen, with mediocre dancing and horrible acting. The only good part was the last line of the movie
Tony Manero: You know what I wanna do?
Jackie: What?
Tony Manero: Strut.
And cue in the Bee Gees song "Staying Alive".
I am not sure what I was thinking as a teenager (both on the movie and the poster), but I do have to say, no one can strut like Johnny T.

I saw that movie with a friend. We were both married and had a girls night out. I sat next to a young (high school) couple and was a little embarrassed at some of the scenes (backseat of car) because I kept thinking of the teeners next to me. It was a good movie at the time but now it does seem very boring...but, oh that John T.... it did wonders for him.
As your parents, we didn't know what you were thinking either - as a teenager, you certainly kept us "staying alive"......with anxiety!!!! Soon it will come full circle with your own teenagers to raise. We will just smile and pray for you - love ya!!!

I remember being in love with the movie Legends and I just watched it again a few days ago and it was extremely painful to watch. I don't know what I was thinking when I was younger. I didn't realize that it had Tom Cruise and Sloane Peterson (from Ferris Bueller) in it. That is funny line though.
Ok, you don't know me (I visit your blog for YW ideas....you have some great ones!!) Staying Alive is one of my all time favorite movies!! I have seen it a gazillion times. I know it's also probably one of the corniest movies ever made, but I don't care. If I watched it today, I would probably still remember a lot of the lines. And the dancing!! LOVE IT!!! And you are right, the last line of that movie is CLASSIC! Thanks for the memory!
