man, i wish i was alive during that time!! the movie made it look like sooooooo much fun. i know i would have partied so hard if i was there, it looked like such a good time.
*~*Do I look like I give a *beep* what you think?*~*
The late 90s in Atlanta there was a club called Backstreet and it was EXACTLY the same way. God, I miss the 90s.

Wow that sounds soooooo crazy!! I wish I was alive back then!! How hard was it to get into that club Anatascia?
On a personal note I recently went to Marquee in NYC and it was fun, got to see Paris Hilton and Teri Hatcher, but I don't think it was even half as crazy as I imagine Studio 54 to be.
22 is my champagne year!!

It was a different time. You can't recreate that now. To much political correctness and police.
shareaids and drug addiction killed the clubs...not pc or cops (most who were paid off anyway)
and rubell was an idiot....making millions yet kept 2 sets of books...of course the irs was gonna come after him
but the lifestyle was totally empty
Nothing Past the Late 80s was or is worth anything to me.
PCism, AIDS, The Jerry Springer mentality and the general mess the world has become... sad.
We will never again see things like Woodstock, Studio 54, and the decadence that was the 80s...
True it was dangerous health wise, and empty in many ways emotionally, but it was a wonderfully loving and innocent time. We didn't worry about what we said, who we said it to, or what the high paid suits might do to us if we offended someone.
THAT is worth all the other *beep* if you ask me.

Totally agree with Barb and Sox......sigh.
I want my bagel and creamcheese paperweight.
i agree with everyone, it was a different time. drugs and stds were being passed around like the drinks at the bar. then it all ended in '80 then came back from '81 to '86. the celebs were a main factor for its appeal. debbie harry from blondie recalled that she was in a threesome on the club floor, and she saw liza minnelli and bianca jagger chatting with mae west and bette davis on a sofa a few feet away from her. that's how huge studio 54 was back then.
the music was also a major part. i've heard some of the megamixes and they're some of the best out there.
