Best bag. EVER.
Anyone that knows my taste in movies is probably aware that I have a soft spot for teen flicks and, in particular, ones with a whole lot of dancing.

I popped into Rogers Video yesterday to pick up a couple of new rentals. They didn't have what I was really looking for ("The Last Winter") but I did pick-up "Paranoid Park" and walking down the rows of new releases, I gave into the craving of "Step Up 2: The Streets". If you've seen one of these you'ver pretty much seen them all but as per usual, I had a good time talking to the screen.

Common curses:

"Are you serious?"
"Like I've never seen that before."
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"OMG."

I do give the movie credit for the excellent dance sequences, particularly the closing sequence which tops the ones before it. It's raining. It's dark. The lighting is perfect. Just the kind of thing you'd expect. Thankfully, there was enough good stuff to be satisfying. You can pretty much skip it (though Channing Tatum does make a small appearance and Robert Hoffman looks something this side of smoking hot in a pulled down hat) but you simply must take a look at the final dance sequence which blew my socks off.

Check it:

K sent me a video clip of a recent episode of "So You Think You Can Dance" when the crew goes Bollywood and it's pretty good:

Of course, the judges gush, gush gush.

Shortly after that, he sent me another link, this time of a comedy skit titled "White Guy Doing Bollywood" and wow, it's pretty hysterical!



Thanks to the abomination that is the related videos sidebar I also spotted this that made me laugh a fair bit:


And to redeem myself, something which is really, really good and not blinding at all:

I first heard, and mentioned, dancing Matt earlier this year and I'd pretty much forgotten about him until, late last week, a new video of Matt started making the rounds. It wasn't high on my priority list of things to see but this morning I finally saw the video of his most recent travels and I have to say, it not only made me smile and even laugh, it also made me a little teary eyed. Why? Because one guy can bring so much joy and a real sense of global community with a 4 minute video clip.

I particularly love the India bit and I need to know...how did I miss out on Matt's visit to Vancouver?

I just found the video below. It's vaguely reminiscent to me of Electric Circus and Retro Boogie Dance Party. I hope this isn't really making a return but it makes for a good laugh.
