Happy Birthday!

Yep. I fixed it. The original site must not allow linking.

My fingers got tired so I automated...

I kept thinking throughout the whole movie "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, brought to you by Esso. Remember Esso for all your gas needs."

I was thinking it was more like "I should have married the rich guy and had a comfortable life instead of marrying for love and being poor and struggling." She doesn't want to part with any of her belongings and she doesn't want to sell the shop either. Yet it's very odd that she sells the shop after Genevieve gets married. If she'd sold the shop earlier she wouldn't have struggled as much.

Maybe "c'est la guerre"? Would Guy have had to go into the military if there wasn't a war on?

I thought it was going to be an animated movie about an umbrella family or the inhabitants of an umbrella town a la Ratatouille.

I was going more for the Emma Stone/La La Land connection. I like yours better.

Just finished watching Umbrellas for the first time...

I thought Demi had a trilogy with Striptease, GI Jane and LOL.

If you do send the Vimeo link please use a different password than "bonkers".

Me either! Now I need to find a different movie. Umbrellas was going to be my next pick. Good job grudlian! (I mean that. I'm excited to watch it.)

I see Across the Universe is available on Amazon Prime so people can watch it over and over and over...

Sorry all. Looks like I broke another thread. All posts stopped. No one can resist the black hole that is Shatner!

This is my favorite cover. Ohhhh, cover SONGS...

In odd movie connections, Cinema Sins released their "Everything Wrong with It" video today. One scene:

That would be awesome! I like The Commitments too!

Excellent. If no one takes it before my pick after next I'll do it. I already have my next pick lined up. (It was my alternate for Reefer Madness.)

Found a link with a lot of tidbits about the song "Another Brick in the Wall (Part Two)". Take them with a grain of salt but they sound good. (It's on the Internet so it must be true!) Roger Waters wrote this song about his views on formal education, which were framed during his time at the Cambridgeshire School for Boys. He hated his grammar school teachers and felt they were more interested in keeping the kids quiet than teaching them. The wall refers to the wall Waters built around himself because he wasn't in touch with reality. The bricks in the wall were the events in his life which propelled him to build this proverbial wall around him, and his school teacher was another brick in the wall. Waters told Mojo, December 2009, that the song is meant to be satirical. He explained: "You couldn't find anybody in the world more pro-education than me. But the education I went through in boys' grammar school in the '50s was very controlling and demanded rebellion. The teachers were weak and therefore easy targets. The song is meant to be a rebellion against errant government, against people who have power over you, who are wrong. Then it absolutely demanded that you rebel against that." The Disco beat was suggested by their producer, Bob Ezrin, who was a fan of the group Chic. This was completely unexpected from Pink Floyd, who specialized in making records you were supposed to listen to, not dance to. He got the idea for the beat when he was in New York and heard something Nile Rodgers was doing. Pink Floyd rarely released singles that were also on an album. They felt their songs were best appreciated in the context of an album, where the songs and the artwork came together to form a theme. Producer Bob Ezrin convinced them that this could stand on it's own and would not hurt album sales, and when the band relented and released it as a single, it became their only #1 hit. Two more songs were subsequently released as singles from the album: "Run Like Hell" and "Comfortably Numb." When they first recorded this song, it was one verse and one chorus, and lasted 1:20. Producer Bob Ezrin wanted it longer, but the band refused. While they were gone, Ezrin made it longer by inserting the kids as the second verse, adding some drum fills, and copying the first chorus to the end. He played it for Waters, who liked what he heard. This is often paired with "Happiest Days of Our Lives" when played on radio stations, and it follows "Happiest" on the album. "Happiest Days of Our Lives" depicts how childhood was great and there was nothing to worry about, until the teachers came along and tried to oppress and suppress the children. Waters then describes that the teachers must have it rough in their own homes, and take out their frustration on the students. >> To make this album, they came up with the concept of the character "Pink." Bob Ezrin wrote a script, and they worked the songs around the character. The story was made into the movie The Wall, starring Bob Geldof as "Pink." Many people believe you have to be stoned to enjoy the film. The line "We don't need no education" is grammatically incorrect. It's a double negative and really means "We need education." This could be a commentary on the quality of the schools. The teacher character in this song shows up again in Pink Floyd's next album, The Final Cut (1983), notably in the song "The Hero's Return." He is based on the many men who returned from war and entered the teaching profession, as they had no other opportunities.
