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've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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.
5:00 PM That's Entertainment! (1974)
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.

G&S are my main men.

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?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just came back from seeing "Cellular". It's short, fast-paced, has a goofy but not preposterous premise, a low-key sense of humor, and engaging characters, and it manages to be one of the most genuinely entertaining small movies I've had the pleasure to watch in this past year. Also, it has William H. Macy, who automatically makes pretty much anything he's in worth watching. It actually reminded me of nothing as much as "Speed", which ain't a bad thing.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I watched Wet Hot American Summer tonight with some friends, which is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The extra farts soundtrack is awesome. And, having given several summers of my life to a weirdo arts camp, I can say with some authority that it is actually frighteningly accurate in parts!
