XANADU 2006 IS COMING!

i am still really upset xanadu 2006 is not happening.

jon, it just wont do.

USHER IS LAMAR

sigh

oKAY WELL LOOK i CAN'T FIND THE xANADU THREAD i WANTED. iT'S THE ONE WHERE...dONUT AND mATOS PLAY A TRICK ON EVERYONE...I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT NOW..
ANYWAY...

i JUST RENTED THIS RECENTLY BECAUSE i WANTED TO SEE IT AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE i WAS 9 YEARS OLD.

aND THE ROCK AND ROLL PART IS SO FUNNY - IT'S SO POST-PUNK - IT'S TRYING TO CAPTURE THAT MOMENT IN MUSICAL HISTORY WHEN THE ROCK BAND WITH THE GUY WHO LOOKS LIKE fEE WAYBILL FROM THE tUBES HAS A MARK OF MAKEUP ON HIS CHEEK, DIAGONAL LIKE AND HE SINGS "lOVER i WON'T TAKE A BACK SEAT TONIGHT/OOH OOH LOVER GETTING ON MY TWO FEET TONIGHT/"

aND IT'S SUCH A PERIOD PIECE IT REALLY IS. I MEAN SHIT THIS WAS BEFORE THERE WAS EVEN ANY BOY GEORGE. THEY WERE TRYING TO CAPTURE THE POST PUNK MOMENT, BUT THEY MISSED BY NOT HAVING ENOUGH SYNTHESIZERS. aND THE GUY IN THE MOVIE SAYS "OH YEAH SYNTHESIZERS, ROCK BAND, ETC." BUT THEY JUST MISSED IT. bARELY. cAUSE IT'S TOO ROCK AND ROLL. aND THIS WAS 1980 AND EVEN POST PUNKERS WERE VIRGINS, ETC.

Anyway, when I was kid I was crazy about the soundtrack for this movie, all around. And I thought it was the best thing in the world when those music folks from the 40's came together with the modern sound of the rock band. Yeah, I thought that was the shit.

Hey, wasn't Cliff Richard in this fucking thing?

No one cares about the Solid Gold dancers.
