God this movie sucks.

I hate this movie.

The first time I watched it was on a Band trip – our bus was lost in Aggieland and the girls initiated some kind of coup. Overall a dismal experience.

The movie was on CzechTV the other night, as part of some Patrick Swayze retrospective. Jana requested that I call her into the room from her clothes-washing duties when the big dance scene starts. She arrived just as Swayze delivered his famous line, ‘Nobody puts Baby in a corner’.

And I didn’t get it. Baby was just sitting at the table, and had leaned back into a small fold in the wall. She was chillaxin’ and watching her sister do that awful screeching thing on stage. Swayze acted all like Baby’s dad had insulted him by shoving his teenage lover in the corner as some kind of punishment. Hey, dance instructor dude: meet Statuatory Rape laws.

I hate this movie.
