BRIGADOON!
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

BRIGADOON!
Jeff is one of my all-time favs for humorous sidekick, and Van Johnson is perfect for the part. The scene in the NY bar after they come back from Scotland is a stitch:
Bartender: Your tab, sir, is very high.
Jeff: So am I!!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I always felt sorry for poor Jeff, all left out when Brigadoon "closed"...

Ann, that's a ferret.
BRIGADOON!
Seconding the above, but for my money, "Almost Like Being in Love" will always be Gene Kelly's finest hour.
I realize this makes me a heretic.

It really is fabulous.
We did "Brigadoon" in high school, lo these 16 years ago, and I think I still know a lot of words to most of the songs. The orch. conductor would routinely bastardize the song titles, so "Almost Like Being In Love" became "Almost Like Wearing A Glove," for instance, and he would then cue the orch. with those bastardized titles, as in "Coming up....'Wearing A Glove'...."
Good times.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Heh. That's kind of like our band director always calling "Rice's Honor" "Rice's Lobster."

I can't even.
Finally saw G2H2. Loved it. A gentle and caring homage to Adams and to his time. Really Python-like feel to it. Lots of Gilliam moments in it for me. Now back to read the whitefont at last.

Art Crawl!!!
Last time I was at Curves (i.e., yesterday) they played versions of songs from musicals with a disco beat underneath them.
It was weird.
