  3. I watched Footloose for the first time last month. I thought it was fucking awesome. I love 80s movies so maybe that’s not a big revelation but I was really impressed how much I enjoyed the pacing and the characters and the music and the cheesiness. All of it. Chris Penn was a great sidekick and Kev crushed it as always. 9/10

  4. “I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows a friend of Kevin Bacon.”

  5. As someone from Payson and saw some of the filming, brings a tear to my ear that he’s such a good dude. They are tearing down the High School later this year so all of those movie landmarks will be gone forever, think that’s why he agreed to go back. I’ve used that movie about a thousand times to show people where I was from, and it’s truly a time capsule of my teenage years in the town and the fields I grew up in.

  8. Oh God, he could play the *dad* in a remake. Where does the time go?

  10. “I’m gonna come, i gotta come”. I’m sure a lot of prom attendees will be saying that later in the night

  12. “I thought this was a party!? LET’S DDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNCCCCCEEEEE!!!!!”
