I was surprised....

Okay, Saturday Night, I sat and watched Saturday Night Fever (it was on Spike tv, whihc was also surprising), and i was shocked. I had always thought it was a stupid disco movie. There was actually a plot. And Character developement!

And i got to see Travolta get kicked in the nuts, which is something that i have wanted to witness since i first saw Grease (although beyond that, I have nothing against John."

I think the best role Travolta played was in Broken Arrow, I love his character in that movie...

I liked travolta in that, but i cant stand John Woo movies. the only one that didnt make me want to punch someone was face off.

I was an Airforce Brat until i was 17. the "B-3" in broken arrow was just lame IMO.

But you have to love a guy who would kill his employer with a flashlight to the gullet :)

watching the dance scenes now - in saturday night fever make me laugh so hard i almost piss myself.

back in my home town it was a common thing for a bunch of people to come back after the bars closed and watch a movie at my place.

some times it was evil dead - sometimes it was saturday night fever.

either one, we howled our faces off laughing..

i thought he was great in face-off ...
and cage - what a blast that movie probably was to make, where good guy and bad guy get to switch rolls 1/2 way through.

Travolta is a solid actor .. he always was. Even if he's in some bad movies he's never the guy to blame. (other than his career decisions)

the best actors play a bad guy as well as a good guy ... which puts him damn near in the class of Gene Hackman and Michael Caine

Travolta plays a great villain. He looks scary when he acts mean, and he is fucking huge.

Kinda liek Liam Neeson. i had never paid attention to how big he was until i saw Rob Roy. I laughed when he cleaved tim roth in half. :)

I never saw that whole movie, only bits and pieces.......back when Disco came to be it caused a wedge in society if you will.
Those who liked Disco and those whom did not.I fell into the later category. Proudly wearing my "Disco Sucks" t-shirt while listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I also had to get rid of my older Bee Gee's albums.
