Watched Footloose for the first time last night. I have some thoughts.

1984 was a big year for US gymnastics. Still, there’s...a lot of gymnastics.
“Hey new guy, you wanna go to the gym and hang out? Get to know each other?”
“Sure, Chris Penn. You can watch my horizontal bar routine.”
“Or we could shoot hoops?”
“Spot me!”

Also, I’d love to know how the powerhouse Beaumont gymnastics team did that season. If they could afford to cut Kevin Bacon, they must be a powerhouse. As you’d expect in a small town.
The biggest guy in school (not Chris Penn, another guy) protects Kevin Bacon a few times, but I totally missed the moment they hit it off. Seems like a big plot point though. “No one accepts me in this town.”
“Except the hot girl and the two best fighters.”
“How will I survive?!”

That was definitely the peak shape of Chris Penn’s life.
Dianne Wiest should win another Academy Award for what she does in reaction shots.
