Wait, Johnny was an escort?

The last time I watched it, I couldn’t get past that either. The first dance scene shot in the counselors’ hangout cabin: Everyone is Broadway-ready! Even if they’re all busy during the day bussing tables or cooking, none of them would need nearly the rehearsal time Baby needs.

I like to think that I notice a lot but I only noticed the whole Johnny-was-an-escort thing last year. And Dirty Dancing is in my top five favorite movies!

there’s a new subplot in which Baby’s sister solves racism

There were aspects of the movie that Jews from that era would recognize as being very specific to that time and place. The resort setting in particular was intended to replicate a typical Jewish summer vacation in the Catskill mountains, which was still very popular in the sixties. As a matter of fact, my grandparents

I liked some of the 60's nostalgia (a lot, actually), but then they had to go and ruin it all with the “She’s like the wind” and that Bizarre “Yes, I’m losing my virginity tonight to the soundtrack of Walking on Sunshine” song.

Penny decides to have the baby but then suffers a tragic miscarriage.

I never understood the fact that there is a whole camp house full of dancers and Baby is the only one that can cover for Penny?! Come on!

Turning down the Jewishness seems to be par for the course in Trump’s America.

A mentally unstable real estate tycoon swoops and defunds the clinic. :(

Coworker: I just don’t  get why they are making stuff up and wasting everyone’s time about stupid Russia!

She spells it Wendi, which is somehow even worse.

But probably not the one about putting a boot in your ass (was that Toby Keith? I can’t keep these shitty “patriotic” songs straight).

Which shouldn’t have been too surprising. Kushner was well-known to be the guy who led Chris Christie around for months, making him think he’d be getting a job and ultimately shutting him out entirely and humiliating him, all out of petty revenge because Christie put his crook father in jail years before.

OT: So, for the handful or so of progressives left who need to be disabused of the narrative that Jared and Ivanka are some kind of sane, moderating force on Donald’s White House...

Sorry to go off-topic, but I think it’s important to note that we live in the dumbest period in human history.

Nunes took himself to the CIA

He’s very very stupid, and has the self preservation instincts of a stunned goldfish.

A cumstain whose entire net worth is invested in a vineyard with Russian ties.

I actually forgot about Devin Nunes and it was only a month ago. This administration is exhausting.
