What A Feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To my devoted fellow mind bicyclists....I have been lifted to the next plain of conscientiousness by the glory that is the film Flashdance. Upon viewing last night I realized that my 10 year old brain was not really ready to absorb the subtle nuance and blatant innuendo writhing throughout this entire cinematic masterpiece. My 30 year old brain, however, you will be be happy to know totally got it. Ohhh....I see welder by day, burlesque dancer by night, rich, well connected boyfriend, living in a warehouse, ice skating best friend, one shoulder sweat shirts, tape for your feet, a wig for your stunt double and WHOOOOOO you have pure, goose bump inspiring genius. My mind bike has been transformed to an 80's ten speed for the event. I am speeding through Pittsburgh, I am going to confession, I am stripping in front of a strobe light. How is it possible that this has avoided the re-make fate that so many of our other examples of genius have fallen victim to? I'll tell you why....IT COULD NEVER BE DONE. It is perfect just the way it is. Sure the guy is sort of a sexual harasser/stalker at first, sure she slaps him around when she's mad, sure the ending is a strange halted still frame, but does it matter? "I can have it all now I'm dancing through my liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife!!!!!!!!!!!"
