So, that is a movie I have never seen before, and have now seen. It is… wow. It is absurd beyond my expectations. Like, I knew it was a movie about a place that bans dancing, which is deeply silly, but I had no idea that Kevin Bacon had an emotional solo dance/gymnastics scene in a factory, or that they have a tractor-fighting battle, or that Kevin Bacon would carry a boombox everywhere in order to make the soundtrack play so the characters could hear it, or that there’s a random book-burning subplot thrown in because why not.

So a young Carrie Bradshaw appears in this movie, and I have chosen to think of it as a prequel to Sex and the City, because basically the message of this movie is “small towns suck ass, for the love of god move to a real city, kids.”
