In 1984, John Lithgow tried to prevent a town from dancing in Footloose. You would think that after 42 years, he would be over trying to stop the music and joy. But he is not.
Yesterday, when Kenny Loggins was singing a melody of his hits, including I’m Alright from Caddyshack, Danger Zone from Top Gun, Your Mama Don’t Dance, and Celebrate Me Home, on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, their classroom instruments were silenced by the new and oldest Tony winner.
But don’t worry. Just like in that movie, Kevin Bacon was there to make sure everyone got loose, Footloose!!!
I think that the late night talk show missed a huge opportunity. They should have panned back to Reverend Shaw Moore dancing along with everyone!
Green Day has been releasing music for over 30 years, and now they are getting into the movie business. On August 14th, they are telling their story…sort of…in Nimrods.
When Tommy receives a phone call inviting his band to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve, he doesn’t realize it’s an elaborate prank by his older brother, Wayne. Desperate to believe his life is about to change, Tommy steals Wayne’s car and begins driving his band from Kansas City to Los Angeles, hell bent on getting there in three days. What follows is a rowdy and uproarious road trip across America.
The film, written and directed by Lee Kirk, is inspired by the beginning of Green Day’s career, when they used to tour in a van before they hit it big with Dookie.
Before Teri Garr played an actress in Tootsie, she was a waitress at a bowling alley on The New Dick Van Dyke Show. How pretty was the 28-year-old on that 1973 episode?
Remember last year when Starbucks released the Bearista Cup, and everyone went crazy for it? So crazy that it sold out, and people were selling them online for a few hundred dollars each?
Well, they are bringing it back. The new version features a soccer-themed green hat with a matching scarf. They will be available at participating coffeehouses across Canada, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region.
However, they learned their lesson in the U.S., so they will only be available online at the Starbucks shop while supplies last, starting on June 11th.
Are you going to get one? I will buy the Dollar Tree dupe!
