One of the greatest sources of disagreement in my marriage centers on Kevin Bacon and a questionable dance number.

My wife and I don’t fight, and we disagree on very few things.


One of the sources of our greatest disagreements centers on a moment in the movie Footloose.

My contention is that the ending of the movie, with its choreographed dance number and strategically-timed glitter bomb (which looks ridiculous), is also  ridiculous. It’s a scene written for a bad musical and inserted into a non-musical.


Elysha, on the other hand, loves the ending of the film. She loves the whole movie, in fact.


I don’t think the movie holds up, but that’s beside the point. I also didn’t see the film when it was released, which can often kill a movie for me,


Regardless, it’s not the true source of our disagreement. It’s the ending that is the issue.


And it’s terrible. Right?
