first of all, major props (e-props? i-props? PANTS PROPS!) for everyone who felt like sharing their opinion on the presidential race. i’d like to try to do that more often– you know, so i can slack off and just let you guys take it away.

seriously, though, ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE SO SMART!!!!! i love you!!!! and i’m excited to hear yr thoughts and perspectives! so i really will do more entries where i ask for yr response, cos i think everyone has something valuable to say. plus, it’s nice to see poshdeluxe.com becoming sort of a community, you know? like, it’s all cozy up in here! lend me some sugar!

continuing the theme of “serious political issues,” i’d like to draw yr attention to today to a film that all of you need to see. it’s compelling, it’s exciting, and it will basically change yr lives forever. kinda like “an inconvenient truth,” but less depressing. and also waaaay hotter.

check out the trailer, which will probably mesmerize you within ten seconds.

that’s right! STEP UP 2: THE STREETS!!!!!!!

for some of you, that trailer is all you need to head to yr local theater and/or hip hop dance lesson.

but for all you haters out there, here are some reasons to see this film:

1) THE DANCING IS INCREDIBLE.

that’s it! that’s all the reasons you need! i’m serious. THE DANCING IN THIS MOVIE WILL BLOW YR MIND. i took dessiree, my little sister, to see it, and she was totally impressed within the first five minutes. it takes a LOT to impress dessiree, especially when you’re talking about “street” music and dancing, subjects in which she is V. well-versed. when we left the theater, all she could say was, “that was THROW!”

which means awesome, btw.

honestly, i have NEVER seen moves like the ones in this film. the closing scene is pretty much the coolest dance i have EVER seen, COUNTING “thriller,” that scene from “she’s all that” and “smooth criminal.” i am not kidding around. just check out this mash-up of dance scenes from the film:

now imagine all of that, but longer, and on the big screen. INSAAAAAANE.

i had previously taken dessiree to see “how she move,” which is also a step movie about a girl struggling to believe in herself and fighting for her rightful place in the step dance world. here’s the poster for that one:

and here’s the poster for step up 2:

what’s the key difference between the two? uh, maybe that HOT GUY on the left of the step up 2 poster?!!!!!

his name is robert hoffman, and not only is he totally attractive, but he can DANCE HIS PANTS OFF! and i wish he would! ha ha ok anyway. there’s also a kid named “moose” played by adam sevani who, and i am seriously not joking, can dance Just Like Michael Jackson. and the best part is that he totally looks super skinny and dorky… until he starts to dance. and then, WOW.

dessiree and i liked “how she move,” but then we saw “step up 2″ and it was like… going from snickers to reese’s peanut butter cups. sure, i like snickers, and if someone gives me one, i’ll probably eat it. snickers is satisfying. but REESE’S? i CRAVE reese’s. i take one bite and i CANNOT STOP MYSELF cos it is SO FREAKING TASTY.

that’s how you’ll feel when you see “step up 2.” the movie immediately grabs you with an incredible “youtube” subway dance prank and then IT DOESN’T LET UP. at all. plus all of the dancers can actually kinda act, unlike “center stage,” which i obviously LOVE but come one, some of those ballerinas weren’t too good with the whole facial expression thing.

anyway, i’ve listed all of the reasons that this movie is awesome, and so, if you are a logical and rational person, you are probably on yr way to the theater right now. and then you can leave me a comment and thank me. and then we can sign up for hip hop dance lessons together!!! cos i totally want to be able to dance like that! or at least, a white person approximation.

i give this movie four out of four pants!!!!
