Footloose

It should be illegal to screen Stop Making Sense in a venue that forbids busting a move.

You try listening to the Talking Heads burn down the house without feeling compelled to burst out of your seat.

Exactly; you can’t.

Which begs the question: where the fuck are my dance-along screenings for the 4K rerelease?

Movie theaters regularly hold singalongs for popular musicals, despite the prospect of the professional crooners being drowned out by the screeching sounds of tone-deaf stans; how is that possibly more appealing than a dance-along that allows for a corporeally-immersive concert experience?

Theaters besides the Alamo Drafthouse could consider the idea…

And heck, why stop with movies? Broadway musicals occasionally host designated singalong performances, and does anyone remember the geriatric rave that is Mamma Mia’s curtain-call concert?
