We should put that on our list of things to check out next summer!</p> <p>Ok, I couldn't handle waiting so I googled the Miley-Kevin connection. Drum roll...</p> <p>• Miley Cyrus voiced a character in Bolt with<br /> • John Travolta who was in The Thin Red Line with<br /> • Sean Penn who was in Mystic River with<br /> • Kevin Bacon</p> <p>I suppose we should take this "off forum" since it has become a sister chat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-238040 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 16:38:42 +0000 April 238040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly, the city won. When I lived downtown, I used to love walking home through that park. It was always filled with skaters -- such fun to watch, and they always paused to let you pass. Prior to their reign (and perhaps now, haven't been there in a while) the park belonged to panhandlers. :(</p> <p>I have completely dropped out of the movie-going scene in recent years, so my Six Degrees abilities are pretty limited if you name anyone as young as Miley Cyrus. Who can take this one on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-238030 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 16:18:24 +0000 Mae 238030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief, April. You're good at this. How about Hannah Montana (Myley Cyrus)? ;)</p> <p>And, I love the skate park story. Who won? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-238027 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 16:13:04 +0000 April 238027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Clint Eastwood directed Kevin in Mystic River, but I'm not sure if that counts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-238023 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 15:59:42 +0000 Mae 238023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm so glad you all liked this, too. It's brilliantly put together. :)</p> <p>Ok, ladies- up for a game of 6 degrees? I'm not so good at finding the links, but I'll start it.</p> <p>How about: Clint Eastwood? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-238017 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 15:35:32 +0000 April 238017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Kevin is a Philadelphia native. His father, Edmund, was a legendary city planner who was responsible for many of the city's finer aspects.</p> <p>(Trivia note for skateboarding fans who followed the famous "LOVE Park" controversy in Philadelphia a few years back: Edmund Bacon skateboarded in LOVE Park in protest of the ban in 2002. He was 92 years old.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237912 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 04:13:31 +0000 Maya 237912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watched that movie with Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta at a friend's house when we were in high school. It was probably one of the worst, but funniest movies ever. I recall my ultra prudish friend being aghast at how high cut JLC's leotard was.</p> <p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089798/" rel="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089798/</a></p> <p>I am not a fan of any of these movies. Musicals and other singy-dancey movies aren't really my thing. But it was fun to watch each one in tiny spurts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237911 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 04:09:49 +0000 Angie 237911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Thanks Kristen and April! What a fab game! Does it only work with Kevin Bacon? Is he from PA? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237903 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 03:46:15 +0000 Debora 237903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved this! Thanks Mae! </p> <p>April, I've heard of the six degrees game! Kindrex lived across the street from Kevin Bacon when she lived on the Upper West Side, btw. She would sometimes pass him on the street. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237870 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 02:38:03 +0000 shana 237870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I'm with you on the love for Strictly Ballroom - I've definitely seen more than 20 times!!! My kids love the soundtrack because we listen to it in the car all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237843 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 02:05:09 +0000 Anonymous 237843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was fun and brought back lots of memories. Thanks, Mae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237839 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 01:54:48 +0000 April 237839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So Angie, as Kristen said, you name any actor and try to get back to Kevin Bacon within six steps. For example, suppose I said Debra Winger. Debra Winger was in Terms of Endearment with John Lithgow, who was in Footloose with Kevin: two degrees.</p> <p>Giovanni Ribisi. He was in Avatar with Sigourney Weaver, she was in Alien with Paul Reiser, Paul Reiser was in Diner with Kevin Bacon: three degrees. </p> <p>If you know movies, you can generally get to Kevin within six degrees.</p> <p>Have to appreciate the love for Kevin Bacon -- he's a hometown boy and sightings are common. Over the years, I've spotted KB at the science museum and the train station. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237793 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 00:46:12 +0000 Tanya 237793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an awesome video Mae, thank you so much for sharing! I have seen most of those movies, some of them even a couple of times. The absolute record is probably held by Strictly Ballroom which I believe I have seen more than 20 times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237791 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 00:45:43 +0000 Kristen 237791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I love that game, April.</p> <p>Angie, Six Degree of Kevin Bacon says that you can name any actor or actress and link them via co-stars back to Kevin Bacon in less than six movies. He has actually had a surprisingly prolific career and has worked with a huge variety of stars. It's a fun game to play. Try it, name someone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237774 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 23:44:40 +0000 Angie 237774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't, April. Tell me more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237771 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 23:40:39 +0000 April 237771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow -- I had forgotten just how high-cut those high-cut leotards were, back in the 80s. Thanks, Mae -- this was fun to watch!</p> <p>Angie, have you ever played Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237700 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 22:01:59 +0000 Kristen 237700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that on Ken Levine's blog yesterday and have been posting it all over the place! It makes me so happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237682 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 21:34:36 +0000 taylor 237682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mae!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237662 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:53:46 +0000 tarzy 237662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks - great video! I love that Jennifer Beals puts a vinyl record on! A RECORD! And Jamie Lee Curtis doing aerobics! Aerobics ... leotards &amp; leg warmers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237659 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:51:30 +0000 shana 237659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, Mae, this is such an awesome video!!! I was in lurve with Mikhail Baryshnikov after seeing White Knights. And Strictly Ballroom is definitely one of my 10 ten favorite movies of all time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237631 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:22:11 +0000 Anonymous 237631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't know that Kevin Bacon was a great dancer till now, or at least I didn't remember.<br /> What a great film! I absolutely love to watch great dancers.<br /> John Travolta and Patrick Swazy in their day, oh my! And ofcourse who could leave Michael Jackson off the list of great dancers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237621 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:12:12 +0000 Angie 237621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THAT was killer. I have seen every one of those movies at least 1 to 100 times (bar one movie which I do not recognize). Have a soft spot for the classics like White Nights, Moulin Rouge and Singing in Rain. Go dilly over Travolta in Grease and Saturday Night Fever. Have heart palpitations when I see Footloose, Thriller and Flashdance. Can't help but love Dirty Dancing. </p> <p>Thanks, Mae. I'm not a dancer but I love watching dance movies. </p> <p>I was also just thinking the other day that Kevin Bacon is a very underrated actor. He is brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237610 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 19:52:00 +0000 Kari 237610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun video!<br /> I still love the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_211174&amp;v=RKanPsUjP7w&amp;feature=iv">Fred Astaire Smooth Criminal</a> remix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-dancing-in-the-movies#post-237605 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 19:44:21 +0000 Mae 237605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so well put together:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYL3j27sSH8" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYL3j27sSH8</a></p> <p>My vote for best look: The Flash dance ballet slippers plus short leggings! I can see Maya sporting this. </p> <p>My vote for worst: John Travolta's exercise gear. Ouch. Leave something for the imagination, my friend. </p>
