The BBC aired a taping of an anniversary production of the stage show last year (I think BBC America did as well) which wasn't bad, even if if the Frank does do a bit of a Curry take. That seems a much better way to go (and has a real live audience—I always forget just how much Rocky talks in the stage original).

Absolutely. And, as a disco and Jimmy Webb fan I will go out even more on a limb and mention Donna Summer's MacArthur Park (probably her earlier disco Could It Be Magic as well, but I refuse to listen to the Manilow original).

There was that awful movie with the great Toni Colette as well

Isn't SLP the same as EP? And then most VCRs had the inbetween LP format (which by rights should be the equivalent of SLP but I swear, if my memory is right, it wasn't…)

*Blank* VHS tapes had old talk shows and MTV on them? Umm, wow ;)

My first thought, as well.

I finally saw Blow-Up as a teen (OK, that was over a decade back, but it seemed like "finally" because my mother always talked about how amazing the film was when she saw it in the theatres in the 1960s). I can understand why it had the impact that it did, but I admit that, like others on here, while I was glad to…

While I am not really for the idea, Nolan's rationale doesn't make sense (that he prefers to believe dragons are real). Unless he's suggesting Westworld takes place in some future reality where Westeros really exists, I don't really see how having their reality be aware of Game of Thrones would negate that… (OK, now…

I've never heard Futureworld called brilliant before…

This review is pretty much everything I expected—but while I never usually feel the need to stand up for theatre geeks, having been one myself in high school (an experience I loved but that was nothing like Glee or pretty much any major depiction I've seen on tv or film) I have to say that the critic writing this, …

From reading this article… he doesn't really sound particularly angry or like he even cares…

To be fair, that's a pretty recent definition of anthology series (to the best of my understanding, anyway…)

Yes—I know we were warned that this would happen but some of the choices are very disappointing, especially when I used to appreciate that AVClub would cover and even champion the shows that few other sites pay much attention to (granted a lot of sites do review Transparent, so it probably doesn't apply there, but…)

That's not how I read that article. Murphy said there will be a sudden switch but he sees it as the second half of the same story (though the same article has Falchuk arguing that he sees it as a separate story, so…)

Well Murphy has said that (at least aspects) of Scream Queens is satire, but he says whatever he feels like saying depending on the time of day… I agree with you that AHS isn't satire but definitely has a lot of camp (of course then you could get into the argument about if it's still actually camp when it's done to…

Are cat burglars usually known for oddly stereotypical French new wave facial hair and bright green scarfs? I mean, sure—I guess she was dressed up as a cat burglar (I am not sure she ever commented on it) but I feel out of touch in that if I saw someone in that outfit on Hallowe'en it wouldn't be the first thing I…

No. Director Josh Logan got a co credit cuz he felt he helped reshape it so much but it's basically Hammerstein. (I believe Flower Drum Song has a co credit too)

ALthough now I actually can kinda recognize him as Ben (?) from Season five of Buffy…

Am I the only one who thought maybe it was Eve who died in the fire??

If by dying old guy you mean Oscar Hammerstein (who died while Sound of Music was on Broadway) it should be pointed out that he only wrote the lyrics—Sound of Music was the one musical he didn't write the stage libretto for. And I suppose it could also be pointed out that the Baroness (who isn't a Baroness) in the…
