God Wouldn't Have Given You Maracas If He Didn't Want You to Shake 'Em.

Dirty_Dancing2.jpgWe're sorry. The 'Nobody puts Baby in a corner' crack was just too obvious, even for us.

Want to feel old? Dirty Dancing, the movie every girl watched at every sleepover in elementary school, the movie every older brother still has memorized against his will, is TWENTY YEARS OLD this week. TWENTY.

We remember being fifteen and finally figuring out (spoiler alert!) that Penny was pregnant. We think we must have thought she had food poisoning or a bum knee or something. We were not the smartest of children. Seriously, we had no idea. Feel free to mock us at your will.

To celebrate the TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY of this American Cinematic masterpiece, Fathom Events is hosting anniversary showings at theatres around the area (check link for more details), complete with never-before-seen footage and interviews with the filmmakers and actors.

We are so going. (We cop to owning the 'Ultimate Edition' version of the DVD that came out years ago. We recommend it solely for the Pop-Up Video-esque trivia track that actually pops up trivia while you are watching the movie. It is cheesy, and it is glorious.)

Check it out. You'll have the time of your life! (Ouch. Sorry.)
