FAME... I'm gonna live forever....

We remember this.. right?? I remember LOVING this movie in the 80's.. I mean who didn't want to go to the Performing Arts High School after seeing this? Right? And the dancing and music? Who could forget this??
Well.. the remake opened this weekend. I remembered the dancing... thought Hannah would love this movie.. I mean, she is into everything 80's... sooo....




We went to the remake...
It was ok.. much MUCH more tame than the 80's cut. Still had the PAHS... still had the cast who were trying to make it..
Debbie Allen who was the dance teacher in the 80's movie was in this one..
It was OK, not great.. just OK.. not as much dancing... didn't "feel" the cast like the 80's...
Hannah did NOT come out of the movie stating that we HAD to get this movie...

Give me the 80's cut any day....

So the thing is Mom....

OK, so Hannah is 12.. OK, to be honest.. 12 1/2...we have an only child... I knew we were living on borrowed time after all... ... but today... while Hannah and I were driving in the car, she informed me that... the thing is.. there is no Santa... Yes, she believes that at one time there was a person who lived and was Santa.. but he's dead... (her words)
"So who is Santa then?" I asked... without missing a beat.. she replied.. "You are"... no warning.. just bam!!! No more of that special magic... done...
Gee... welcome to the teen years!
