i just wanna dance!

okay, so i've watched a lot of movies this weekend. and i have an almost shameful affinity for bad dance movies. but.

why must all the male leads in such bad dance movies be inner city thugs? what about the little suburban boys? sure, they're likely to get their asses kicked by the football team and join some sort of whiny punk band instead, but they have to be out there. i'm going to guess that there's some statistical equation out there that tells us that, yes, occasionally a one of those boys learns how to move. i know it's rare and all (i've certainly seen plenty of walking arguments against it), but seriously? surely novelty value plays a part in bad cinema. isn't that how we got here in the first place?
