A Genetic Opera, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny).
Next week is 90s week and the week after probably foreign language movies (not in English or Dutch). If I like the themed weeks I might continue for the rest of the summer. It's a good way to work on my to watch list.
My Spin the Wheel app landed on Little Shop of Horrors for tonight.

AH! Alrighty. I get it. I'm not normally a musical gal, but on occasion...
BTW, although the plotting, etc. of
Burlesque is not wonderful, the music is AMAZING and fantastic. I play it around here when I need a pop of lift. Oh and the dance numbers are also...just aaaaahmazing. I vaguely remember, through the mists of time, when I was in that type of shape, ha!
ETA: I should note, having been around for the
original Mouseketeers, I was not young enough to watch those "new" Mouseketeers, the ones that hatched Britney Spears, etc.
So...suffice to say, I wasn't an "Xtina!" fan, right? I have to say, when that girl opened her mouth in the big "the show must go on" scene, in
Burlesque, I was
gobsmacked. I had no idea she had pipes like that. Man, that's some talent.
Not the first scene, where she sings a bit...there's not much there. But DAMN, later? Holy crapdoodle, that girl has range, power...everything. It's a real pleasure to hear someone with talent like that.
