GOD DAMN IT MY EXCELLENT JOKE WAS RUINED. THANKS EARWOLF.

 

Trying again...

 

No, the movie I've picked that pairs two superstars for the behind the scenes look at a seedy industry is, of course...

 

I was about to respond to tom, but saw you revealed your pick!

I don't think I've seen before but I'm familiar with some of the songs.

 

What came to mind when you said 2 superstars and seedy industry was Moulin Rouge (which I know you like and have mentioned possibly giving the MM treatment) or La La Land came to mind... and even Chicago..?

 

2 stars and seedy industry can be taken a bunch of ways, so I figured I was off.

But thought Moulin Rouge could be a good guess.

 

But nice pick ! Looking forward to it!

Nice pick ! Looking forward to it.

Given "seedy" industry, the original GIF and Across the Universe, I thought it would be some verson of Strawberry Fields Forever.

Cool, I haven't seen this since middle school.

Kate, I was thinking La La Land too.

How available does the movie need to be? For instance, one movie I want to pick is only on Amazon Prime currently so I wouldn't pick that one. Not going to require everyone to sign up for Prime just to watch a pick.

As long as it's rentable. I don't mind paying a couple of bucks. I just don't want to have to purchase any discs! I'm trying to purge them from my life!

If it's on Amazon Prime, surely it's available for rent as well?

I was hoping but sadly, no.

I have Amazon Prime so I can stream it for whoever would need to pony up!

[SaraK 1980]

Oh I've been wanting to watch this recently! Somehow I got the song Fugue For Tinhorns stuck in my head recently so this will help out. Or just burrow it deeper into my brain, either/or.

 

I think I'm done with my crazy schedule for the summer, so I'm free and clear until the holidays (fingers crossed). Happy that I get to jump back in on this one!

[tomspanks 9039]

Hmm, then you're right, it might be difficult for people without Amazon Prime.

Have you been listening to a lot of My Brother, My Brother, and Me and Lin Manuel Miranda?

lol no! I think I read the opening lyric somewhere and it immediately wormed itself in.

[Cam Bert 8145]

Curse you CakeBug!!!! This was on my shortlist of picks for my week!

 

Excellent choice. Should be fun for all. Fun fact, I had my nose broken while starring in a production of Guys and Dolls.

[EvRobert 1684]

This was on my shortlist as well. I'm so excited to discuss this.

 

Also, I may have umm pirated Krush Groove

 

But I totally rented and paid actual money for Best Whorehouse.

 

Also I'm a Prime member

I'm glad people seem so down for Guys and Dolls! I have played Nathan Detroit and Benny Southstreet as a younger man, so I will brook no nonsense from anyone who suggests this isn't pure genius. So, forewarned!

When I was in Guys and Dolls they gave all copies of a Broadway recording to listen to and practice the songs. In that recording Nathan Detroit was Nathan Lane and Benny Southstreet was JK Simmons.

[EvRobert 1684]

I'm probably spoiling some of the discussion for next week, but man, I wish I could have seen the mid 2000s Broadway cast with Lauren Graham and Oliver Platt.

[The_Triple_Lindy 2482]

Never seen Guys and Dolls ... most of my knowledge comes from that one Simpson's episode featuring "Luke Be a Jedi Tonight."

 

But forgive me, I'm confused ... did I miss the discussion of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? I thought that was next ...

[tomspanks 9039]

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was the movie before Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The discussion thread is here. I don't think anyone would mind if you continued the discussion.

Lauren "Lorelai Gilmore" Graham? I don't know anything about Guys And Dolls but I wish I could have seen this.

Yup! There are a few clips on YouTube grainy cell phone clips if you're curious

YOU GUYS ARE IN FOR A TREAT! Frank and Marlon! Anxiously planning a craps game! Ruthlessly betting over the emotions of Christians! Commitment phobia! Technicolor gangsters!

 

What's playin' at the Roxy? I'll tell ya what's playin' at the Roxy...

 

I'm very excited.

I've got the horse right here, and it says that Guys and Dolls is indeed a treat.

 

It's been awhile since I've seen the movie but I know the show has lot of fun numbers, and some catchy mind wormy songs. You'll love it a bushel and a peck.

 

EvR - who did Lauren Graham play? Sister Sarah?

Is that why you wear those funny glasses with the fake nose?
