Hey everyone! Welcome to the 30th edition of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon series. As you already know last month here on SuperMarcey.com I posted up poll with three bad movies and I said that whichever one out of those three films had the highest votes, I would watch and live-tweet for this column. Well, the votes are in and you all have spoken. For this installment of Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon, you guys wanted me to watch and live-tweet… STAYING ALIVE! Was a sequel to the classic 70s film SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE really all that necessary ? Why did Sylvester Stallone signed on to write and direct this film? Read on and find out! Enjoy

Bede @BedeJermyn

I’ve said many time before and I’ll say it again: is it too late for me *not* to watch this film? #StayingAlive

Yep, just what the world needed: a sequel to the classic SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER that’s directed by… Sylvester Stallone? #StayingAlive

What… Wait? Did I read that correctly? Stallone wrote and directed this film?! My God… #StayingAlive

I think that it’s bizarre that we went from songs of the Bee Gees to the songs of Stallone’s brother Frank for the soundtrack #StayingAlive

Ummm… Why is Kurtwood Smith a dance instructor in this opening scene? #StayingAlive

You definitely know Stallone directed this film ’cause it begins with a montage. #StayingAlive

I’m very disappointed that John Travolta’s character Tony isn’t strutting down the street. #StayingAlive

You can definitely tell that this is a film from the 80s ’cause it has a scene involving aerobics. #StayingAlive

Why does Tony wash his clothes while he’s in the shower? Surly that has to be a laundromat close by. #StayingAlive

I can’t believe that Travolta turned down so many great parts in the early 80s to do this film. #StayingAlive

“You guys aren’t relationships. You guys are exercise.” What the hell type of dialogue is that? #StayingAlive

Oh hi Sylvester Stallone! You’re very quick 5 second cameo was both very distracting and pointless. #StayingAlive

Speaking of Stallone’s cameo, what on earth was wearing? He’s clothes were absolutely bizarre. #StayingAlive

Yeah, I find it very hard to believe that Tony would be turned down a lot, and mean a LOT of talent agencies #StayingAlive

Man, this film is so 80s lol. #StayingAlive

Geez, there’s so much lens flare in this dance scene that it would make J.J. Abrams cream his pants in excitement #StayingAlive

Well, that was the most awkward courting scene I’ve ever seen. #StayingAlive

Tony is such a player. #StayingAlive

“An accent doesn’t make someone intelligent. If it did you’d been Einstein” Owww! You got just burnt, Tony! #StayingAlive

Geez, I don’t know how it’s possible, but Tony is even more of a jerk here than he was in SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. #StayingAlive

I’m starting to think that STAYING ALIVE is basically the male version of SHOWGIRLS. Just you know, this was released first. #StayingAlive

Finally! A Bee Gees song is playing in the film. Sadly, it’s not as memorable as the ones from SATURDAY NIGHT EVER. #StayingAlive

We’re gonna need a montage! Montage! #StayingAlive

“That boy is strange”. That’s the understatement of the century. #StayingAlive

Umm… Did Tony just knock an old man out-of-the-way to get to the phone?! #StayingAlive

Well, that was a pretty awkward phone call between Tony and his Mum. #StayingAlive

Holy crap! Is that very young Richie Samboa from Bon Jovi as the guitarist in Jackie’s band?! #StayingAlive

Frank Stallone is also a guitarist in Jackie’s band. You can tell that he is trying to make the most of his screen time here. #StayingAlive

That shouldn’t surprise me since the director is brother Sly. Clearly there’s no nepotism at work here at all. #StayingAlive

Now I’m not a professional dancer, but I’m pretty sure that Laura’s hair a bit too long for this job. #StayingAlive

I like how the Broadway show that Tony is starring in is called SATAN’S ALLEY. #StayingAlive

Geez, the Bee Gees songs in this film are really forgettable compared to every other song they have done. #StayingAlive

Besides Jackie’s, every character in this film is extremely unlikable. Especially the one who we’re suppose to be rooting for. #StayingAlive

Yeah, it’s pretty clear that Jackie is lip syncing to this song that she’s singing. #StayingAlive

Stallone must have been a lot of money to write and direct this film. This was around when he was at his career peak. #StayingAlive

Tony is such a jerk to Jackie. She’s a nice girl who deserves way better than him. #StayingAlive

Once again, these Bee Gees songs continue to be really uninspired in this film. #StayingAlive

It’s kind of scary to think that Frank Stallone’s songs are more memorable than the Bee Gees in this film, but it’s true. #StayingAlive

Wait, stop, hold the phone! Tony’s Mum is actually condoning his jerk behaviour?! #StayingAlive

Frank Stallone has more screen time in this film that I thought. Again that’s what happens when the director is your brother #StayingAlive

We’re gonna need a slow down version of a montage! Montage! #StayingAlive

You know what’s weird? I can actually hear Stallone speaking Tony’s dialogue in this scene. #StayingAlive

Bulges. Bulges everywhere. #StayingAlive

I’m sorry to bring that up but it’s a bit hard not to notice them! #StayingAlive

Yeah, I don’t get the Laura character. She’s just as inconsistent as Tony is. #StayingAlive

I wonder when John Travolta met Sylvester Stallone for the first time, he accidentally called him ‘Sergio Silverstone’? #StayingAlive

Another reason you can tell that this is a film from the 80s? Leggings. So many leggings. #StayingAlive

Geez, this like the 20th montage that’s played in this film so far. #StayingAlive

I know that Sly wanted to make ROCKY-like sequel to SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, but did he need to make the protagonist a jerk? #StayingAlive

Wait a sec, the show is called SATAN ALLEY? Isn’t that also the name of the fake film that Robert Downey Jr. starred-in in TROPIC THUNDER?! #StayingAlive

Wow… This SATAN’S ALLEY show is definitely… Something. #StayingAlive

What kind of costume is John Travolta wearing? It’s absolutely bizarre. #StayingAlive

You would think that Tony would have stopped acting like a douche-bag but nope, he’s still acting like one. #StayingAlive

Geez, Travolta is so oiled in this Slow motion dance scene. I’m surprised he hasn’t slipped over already. #StayingAlive

Yeah, these dance show SATAN’S ALLEY may be the bizarre thing that Stallone has ever conceived on screen. #StayingAlive

I swear everyone in this film is bi-polar ’cause they act one way one minute, then change personalities a split second later. #StayingAlive

I honestly leave no idea what I’m even watching anymore. This is just..Strange. #StayingAlive

Why do all the male dancers look like they’re wearing gimp outfits?! #StayingAlive

You know I’ve always wondered what inside the mind of Tommy Wiseau looks like, now I believe it looks like SATAN’S ALLEY. #StayingAlive

Geez, you’re such a stage hog, Tony. #StayingAlive

SERIOUSLY, WHAT AM I WATCHING?!!! #StayingAlive

Yeah! Tony isn’t acting like a jerk to Jackie anymore! #StayingAlive

“You know what I want to do? Strut” ABOUT BLOODY TIME! Hit it, Bee Gees! *cue Staying Alive* #StayingAlive

Ahh, Tony. While you’re out and about strutting up the place, you’ve forgotten Jackie you jerk! #StayingAlive

Yeah, I’m sorry Travolta and Stallone. This end strut scene isn’t a patch on the classic one from SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. #StayingAlive

Serious question: did Tony learn from anything that he did throughout the film in the end? Cause I’m pretty sure he didn’t #StayingAlive

Well, that’s the end of STAYING ALIVE. I bet Travolta wishes should have starred in AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMEN now instead. #StayingAlive
