"In regards to the Footloose dance, I heard that Chris has never seen Footloose. Does he still find the bit funny? If not, how is this relevant to CW readership?"

CW replies: Thanks for writing, Brett. Chris certainly enjoys Flight of the Conchords or it wouldn't carry the "Chris Recommends..." label, which we here at CW do not bestow lightly. [Please see our previous posts, "Chris Hearts His...Nikon D40," Sept. 6; and "Chris Endorses...Eamonn's," Sept. 4]
True, his lack of exposure to the great coming-of-age/teen angst films of yore [such classics as The Goonies, The Princess Bride, Say Anything and John Hughes' entire catalog] is a hinderance in situations like this, where having seen Footloose 100 times and knowing Kevin Bacon's moves [shown above] down to each thrust make the scene even funnier. But alas, he likes their brand of humor and finds the scene funny for what it is: a young, frustrated man with a penchance for wildlife wear blowing off steam the old-fashioned way. Dancing his heart out.
