Isn't that a musical version of Ninotchka?

I just watched Waking Life, which is not a movie to watch while tired. Actually, I should really stop watching movies when I'm tired and sleep-deprived. I always end up nodding off in the middle, regardless.
For those who haven't heard of it, it's a Richard Linklater movie about a guy stuck in a lucid dream. He filmed it on DV and edited it as a live-action movie...and then had animators draw all over it. The result is like watching paintings come alive.
The movie basically consists of a lot of "now, like my innocence, pie gone" talk about life and dreams and humanity and existence, and I think it might be a really interesting movie to watch with my full attention, because despite it all seeming dangerously close to pretentiousness, there was also some intriguing philosophy in there. It's very much a thinking person's movie.
And the animation really elevates it to another level. The DVD has a twelve-minute montage of scenes from the movie as they were filmed originally, and it looks like a low-budget student film. The animation makes everything look much more like the dreamworld it's supposed to be.

We did lots of musicals in high school drama. I was in the Chorus for "Brigadoon" and "Oklahoma." They were going to give me a solo, but the section required four voices able to reach the back row (late 70s, small-town high schools didn't have fancy sound systems) and I had one of the few that wasn't already in a featured part. So I got to carry the group.

I was a Nun in The Sound of Music, and in the pit band for Trial by Jury and Annie Get Your Gun and Li'l Abner.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Love Me Tonight is wonderful, though The Love Parade is better Chevalier-MacDonald.

I want to see this to see if it holds up. I saw it in the theater when it originally came out and was enchanted. But '74 was the pre-video, pre-cable days, when small-town types didn't get the chance to see the oldies very often.

Dude! I didn't know that! I'm a Savoyard as well. Did you see the G & S parody I posted in Bitches a couple months ago?
