*Enjoy. Or not.*
I've heard unfair criticisms of John Travolta for years, injustices such as, "He looks like a bloated, greasy rat!" and, "Scientology ruined my life and left me homeless!"
However, lacking in the ways of cleverness and debate, my only retort for such low blows was, "Oh yeah? Well, you're a dork!"
But no longer.
I now tote this gem of cinema, this "Staying Alive," with me wherever I go, as a show of humanity so that I may "convert," if you will, disbelievers to the truth.
Now, if in my presence, an ill word is spoken of Mr. Travolta, I simply hand "Staying Alive" to the unenlightened in question, and I say, "Watch this. Really WATCH this. I think you will then change your mind." And they hasten away (so quickly, I might add, even sprinting in their jubilance!) to do so!
One note of caution, though.
I do not recommend trying to watch "Staying Alive" in its entirety in one sitting. I can compare it only to staring into the sun for too long. The brilliance will blind you, at least the first 11 times you watch it. A good stopping point is right before Mr. Travolta unleashes his moxie upon the dance world (and his churlish dance director, not to mention the coquettish Miss Finola Hughes!) and shows us whether or not he has the spirit to embody "Satan's Alley's" protagonist, whose name I'm not quite sure of, but figure to be something significant, like Moses, or Bruce.
