Tonight's teevee double feature

[spatch]

First, Neil Diamond's wretched remake of THE JAZZ SINGER (complete with Neil in blackface!) followed by the Village People magnum opus CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC which launched (and pretty much ended) Bruce Jenner's acting career.

Our cup is so runnething over tonight ("I am," it said, to no one there, before continuing to runneth) it's crazy.

Oh, yeah, the Jazz Singer is really bad and it is not because of Neil Diamond or Luci Arnez. It's is for the scene-chewing, career-ending, pathetic, embarrassing performance by Laurence Olivier. I don't think any actor in history has gone from great to this abysmal in motion picture history.

Hey, "Can't Stop The Music" would've been a monster hit if it had been released like, three years earlier.

I am morbidly intrigued by Can't Stop The Music, but can't bring myself to spend money on a copy and also can't talk the folks I watch musicals with into watching it.

The Count And The Amount

My brother and I watched Can't Stop The Music on "Dialing For Dollars" one summer afternoon. Oh, the glory.

Oh, man. I really need to see those.

Spatch, if I were to do a Bad Movie Musical night at some point... a) would you be interested? b) would you be able to provide copies of these erm, masterpieces?

Dear Sir:

I must respectfully disagree with your assessment that Cant' Stop the Music either launched or ended Bruce Jenner's acting career.

In the first place, in order to be launched a thing must gain altitude (even if by inches).

In the second place, Bruce Jenner is solely responsible for ending his acting career - you did see the Wheaties commericals, right? (This opinion may be influenced by my unending love for the Village People, or V-Peeps, as I like to call them.)

Yrs. Very Truly,
