You just never know when or where you are going to receive a golden nugget.  It’s what Oprah calls an “Ah-Ha moment”.  Some call it a revelation.  I just think it is wise and thoughtful.  But who the fuck knew that anything wise or thoughtful could have come out of the remake of the movie Fame?

I’m all for singing and dancing around, hell, I even got hooked on Glee, but this new version of Fame, is lame (see what I did there!)

We’ve seen it all before!  C’mon people, gimme something fresh.

The kids were talented enough in their respective genres, and the director assembled quite an impressive cast for the teachers, but I found myself rolling my eyes once too often as the cheesy situations unfolded.

So, imagine my surprise, as I lay only half awake from boredom, when one of the teachers sits a student down for a tete-a-tete and comes out with this inspired piece of dialogue:

“Everything you’re ashamed of, all the parts of yourself you keep secret, everything you want to change about yourself… it’s who you are.  That’s your power!  Deny it, and you’re nothing!”

WHAT!!!???

Holy shit.  I shot up in my seat and hit the play back button to hear it once more.

Inspired!  Truly inspired!
