This may rank as a close second place in the list of greatest film musicals of all time. Number one being Sextette, of course.

I can't believe she actually said "what's goin gon?"
"[Gore] was widely perceived as arrogant. If you know something, you're not smart. You're a smarty-pants. It's annoying. People get annoyed with your knowledge. It goes back to high school, to not doing your homework ... 'There's something I should know, I don't know why I should know it but someone knows it and I don't. So I'm going to have to make fun of him now.'" -Sarah Vowell, The Partly-Cloudy Patriot

I love her.

"I have also met him in person, and I find him to be quite funny actually. Arrogant and often misinformed, but still funny."

"Those clips are from Skiddoo, the movie that ended the 1960s."


Even after watching the trailer, I found myself thinking, "Okay, kids, that's enough of that."

SKIDOO is a wonderfully cheerful, entertaining, AWFUL movie. Channing's antics in it may actually be less scary than Jackie Gleason's acid trip, which causes him to hallucinate a musical number with a chorus line of dancing garbage cans. Or a dessicated Groucho Marx as a Mafia kingpin named "God", obviously reading all his lines from offscreen cue cards, even while struggling with a nubile young woman. Or...oh, see it for yourself. It not only ended the sixties, but Otto Preminger's film career. That's right--old polished pro Preminger, making a last--and fatal--stab at "relevance", coming up with exactly the type of anti-youth, old-fogey bull you would expect--only CRAZY!
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."
