I feel as though it’s time to come back to the classics…and disco was far too short lived, IMHO. What are your thoughts? Did we make a mistake? Should we bring it back? And do you have some favorites? It’s such a shame, I think.

Bear noticed the thread.
I’d only be in favor of disco coming back if John Travolta is going to look like this again instead of what he’s become. This was his best movie moment until “Urban Cowboy” when he won the bull riding competition, beat up a bad guy robber, and got his wife back all in the last few minutes of the movie.

Fun fact:
disco became a big craze because of that movie “Saturday Night Fever”

the movie “Saturday Night Fever” was based on an article by British rock writer Nik Cohn about a young guy who went to discos in Brooklyn

years later Nik Cohn revealed that the whole article was a complete fake - he was in New York City and owed some publication an article so he just made the whole thing up. brilliant

Did someone say bring back Discobot? @discobot fortune , should we bring you back?
 
Oh dear 😂 sorry to spoil the party,but I came across this movie last week, had a good laugh and turned it off…I just couldn’t …😹 …
 
There are a lot of laughable things about the movie, mostly what a dork the main protagonist is, but having lived through that era, he’s actually not all that far off from the way a young man from his culture would have acted in real life. He really looks up to the woman who, to him, has made a big change in her life by doing something different even though the “something different” is that she moved across the bridge to Manhattan and took a couple of college classes. I have actually read about people who lived back then in places like Brooklyn and Long Island and yet never went to Manhattan - it was like another country to them.

The subplot with the brother who is a priest and wants to quit the priesthood is also unfortunately true to what was going on in the US church at the time.
 
I always liked Disco. But towards the end, it became a bit much.
