Kristen Bell is in Burlesque? Crud, now I have to see it. Will it lose much going from big to small screen?
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Ahead of its time? Or a very annoying way to watch a movie?
Didn't that 1920's French Napoleon movie do something like that?
Why, yes, it did! [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. I thought it was just split screen - didn't know it required multiple projectors.

It'll lose all the lush detail of the burlesque club itself, which was a big attraction for me. But if you have a decent sound system the musical numbers won't lose much with a more condensed visual. And Cher might not dive so deeply into the Uncanny Valley if you're not seeing her in 30-foot-tall closeups.

AV Club what party portrayed in a movie would you like to attend?
I put the question to you, Buffistas.
JZ I'm sad to report somebody already took the party in Can't Hardly Wait.

Grad party in Say Anything. Or dinner at Uncle Monty's in Withnail and I.

Heh. Although the whole evening would be ruined when Uncle Monty gets mad at his cat....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ooooh, good choices Sue.
I think my childhood notions of a great party were formed by the ending of Go, Dog, Go!
However, on the cinematic side I've always wanted to go to the party in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Also, the house party in Almost Famous where the rock stars show up, looked fun.
And the soiree with all the New Wave glasses in RHPS.

Without a doubt, Nick and Nora's Christmas party in The Thin Man.
Nora: Is that my drink over there?
Nick: What are you drinking?
Nora: Rye.
Nick: (He picks up the glass and drains its contents.) Yes. That's yours.

Without a doubt, Nick and Nora's Christmas party in The Thin Man.
Oooh, excellent choice. I'm drawn to a lot of Fellini's movie parties even though they're usually satirical and mocking.
I just saw his amazing "Toby Dammit" segment from the horror anthology Spirits of the Dead and I desperately wanted to go to that Oscar Party From Hell.
Then again, I wanted to live in the Bladerunner dystopia too.
