Dancing in the rain. Not.

keire_keThe Friday strike - let's face it, it's pretty pointless. They don't care. There's not going to be a massive flood away from LJ, little will change for existing users and new ones will likely join anyway. The plus in the accounts doesn't make that much of a difference. I also have no plans to desert LJ in the foreseeable future either.
I went and saw Step Up 2 The Streets and have this to say: never mind the plot was trite and pointless. Never mind everyone had the dimensionality of a cardboard cutout. Never mind the heroine had awesome chemistry with everyone but the hero (to name the top three: the hero's brother, the nerd, her best friend). Never mind the dialogue and well, everything was pushing it, with a huge tow truck.
Okay, to name on of the many things that bothered me: what exactly was so wrong about them dancing in the tube car? Unless it was about the graffiti, they didn't exactly do anything wrong. Period. Unless dancing publicly constitutes a crime in Baltimore.
Which is a shame, because it could have been really cool. Well, cooler than it is, which isn't hard. All they had to do is switch the love interest to the school director (because hello, the issues! The dancing!) and the movie would jump up a notch of three. Point of fact, the whole "romance" was unnecessary, period, unlike the first movie, where it drove the show. They had enough to build the movie on, but of course the really interesting things were summed up with a sentence.
