OMG, run from the savage wolves, stupid pig capitalists made NY freeze, d'oh!

Even before Stayin' Alive there was Saturday Night Fever.


Maybe even more so now because it is so dated. I recently caught part of it on late night TV and had a very good laugh.


Tony Manero: "Would ya just watch the hair. Ya know, I spend a long time on my hair and he hit it; he hit my hair."

Stephanie: I'm sick of guys who ain't got their [censored] together!
Tony Manero: Well, all ya need is a salad bowl, and a potato masher,
[he mimics stirring in a bowl]
Tony Manero: and you got your [censored] together!


and yes, it does fall under the Drama genre.

Oh I love this movie. Do not disrespect Tony Manero! But you're right, some parts are actually quite funny, especially the scenes with Stephanie. (I hate that casting.) Good call.

The hair was golden, man, that was beautiful. It was even great when John Belushi did it in Samurai Night Fever.

Surprisingly good movie. I don't think it dated that much in a bad way. More like, slice of life from a different time. But the drama still works. Guys really WERE that serious about their time.

Two great scenes right off the top of my head:

1. Tony gets told by his boss in the hardware store that one day, maybe HE could be an assistant manager too. Tony's awful despairing premonition that he could be right and that's the last thing he could ever want was fantastic.

2. Angie's calling out to Tony while she screws his friend in the back seat and cries because she really wants to be screwing him was great stuff indeed. Gave the girl a whole career.

Plenty more great ones, like Tony responding to Angie's telling him that he once said men had to have sex constantly or they'd get sick or their balls would explode or something with an embarassed half-laugh and quick glance backward, as he goes, "I told you that?"

Tony's messed up friend falling off the bridge.

Tony's awesome strut down the street with the Bee Gee's twanging and shrieking in the background was iconic. Movie history there. Tell me you haven't ever felt cool or really, really wanted to feel cool and look cool and eat up the world that way.

Great movie!

What's the over/under on how many pounds Travolta has gained since Stayin' Alive? He was ripped to shreds in that movie.

Saturday Night Fever was full of terrific characterizations of how people from a certain class and location really behaved in the mid 1970s. And I think that its fidelity to that era probably makes it seem dated now.

The scene about the hair was hysterical even then and it was meant to be interpreted that way.
