Step To It

Since today was the holiest of holy days, we celebrated appropriately by going to see Step Up 2 the Streets.  My favorite part about seeing this particular movie in the theaters was being there with all of the kiddies who were given special permission to see an 8 o'clock show, even though that meant they wouldn't be home to go beddy-bye at their normal time.  During the previews there was a trailer for the new flick Prom Night that not only looks horrible but the people in the movie are graduating in 2008. I am too young to feel that old. To add to my geriatric thoughts, the girls (whom were all dressed up in special valentine's dresses from Forever 21) said "OMG" (they didn't say the letters O-M-G, I'm just abbreviating it for dramatic effect) "we should totally go see this movie on PROM NIGHT!"

And then I vomited. 

Good thing the movie got started soon after and I sat-danced through the whole thing.  There were only a couple more vomit incidences when the love scenes made their way on to the screen.  I think I almost liked this one more than the original Step Up because there was more dancing and they didn't try as hard to get a love story in there.  It is a little softer around the edges in terms of the reality of 'the streets' in Baltimore, MA though.  The first one actually has a death but in this one, no ones dies.  Since The Wire has made me an expert on Baltimore (not really), I know that death is the only reliable thing that happens in that city (really).  

I don't know if it was the intense rain dance sequence, the Rockstar I drank during it or the intoxication of valentine's day but I danced all the way down the stairs of the theater....I did a little twist followed by a jump with a sick dismount that led to this.  

Good thing I'll have a while to rest up for the finale of this amazing trilogy. Step Up: The Convalescent Years
