I rewatched this recently because:1. Liz Lemon getting caught by Jack Donaghy singing "Maybe"2. Someone told me they rewatched it and there was "big sexual tension between Daddy Warbucks and Annie."
#2 is not true, my friends.

The weird thing about this movie is it's just kind of assumed you'll love Annie as much as everyone else apparently does. I did not immediately fall under her charms and would like to know why everyone was so enamored of her. I mean, she was a cutes and non-sassy little girl, but I didn't think that was an especially rare subset of little girl?

I love the angry-man antics of Daddy Warbucks. There is a disturbingly large amount of panty-shots in this musical, though. Especially since half of them are of like 9 year old girls. o.0

Carol Burnett rules this movie. And Tim Curry. And Ann Reinking. Ok fuck it, I love this movie.
Abbott's right, though -- the "spunky little redhead" is the least of the movie's pleasures.

I like that when I saw it again recently (in the past couple years, I guess) I got all the jokes about Warbucks being a gilded-age capitalist in the middle of a depression. Like when a communist sneaks on to the balcony with one one of those round black bombs with a fuse that only exist in comic books.

And I'm forced to ask about yet another remake: why not just make it its own thing if you're going to alter the source material to such an extent that you're likely to turn off anyone who might've been enticed by another filmed iteration of that particular story/property?
