  1. One little correction to something Paul said. Irish Travellers is the slightly more politically correct word for Irish gypsies rather than people on vacation. Stereotypically not good workers, which is why the director would have mentioned it!

    Yep! It's not "Irish travelers", it's "Irish Travellers". Think Brad Pitt & Jason Flemyng in the movie Snatch, or the creepy guy with the junk cart who confronts Charlie near the beginning of Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. They're also known in Britain as "pikeys" or "tinkers" and are traditionally accused of being poor workers, scavengers and con artists.

  2. But if you think this was a fat rail of coked-up crazy, you should crush up the bathroom-floor-crystal-meth glory of another glittery musical debacle from 1980 called The Apple, directed by none other than B-Movie Maestro Menahem Golan of Canon Films!

     

    Dear God in Heaven, THIS MUST HAPPEN.

     

    I remember getting shit faced drunk with some friends and watching this in utter, abject shock. It may have the single filthiest song in the history of musicals. And the CARS, man...the goddamn CARS...
