Xanadu!
 

Any thoughts on the Movie or The Musical?
I am off to NY to see it on Broadway next month.
Anyone seen it?

I'm a huge ELO fan, so yeah, I love the movie. :thumbsup:

Have fun in NYC, I expect a full report.

My favorite ELO song is "Last Train To London!"
I will give you a full review...:woohoo:

loved the movie, i need to get it on dvd, is it even released as so?~ they played it on cable a few months back &i watched it & i still love that cheesy damn movie!!!~ oh yeah & i love me some ELO too, "telephone line" is my fav~

i love the movie i have it on dvd. i would like to see the play if it ever comes over this way.i don't think i'll be able to see it in new york.

love the movie. I vividly remember renting it when you rented movies in the grocery store at the same time you rented the VCR. granted, I was about 7, but I remember it. I remember renting this and some movie with Karen Black about aliens. :shrug:

I loved the movie, and "Telephone Line" is great!
Is ELO still together? I really liked a lot of their songs, back in the day....

I think so...:shrug:

I actually sat through the movie in the theater when I was a kid. It was one of the few movies (along with The Wiz and the Raggedy Anne & Andy Movie) that I really hated seeing. Of course, I had been told it was about Greek mythology, so you can see how it might have been a letdown. :lol:
My ex used to sing the song at karaoke, though.
But I like to appall people by pointing out that the 1st Gene Kelly movie I ever saw was Xanadu, the 1st Bette Davis movie was Escape to Witch Mountain, the 1st Shelley Winters movie was Pete's Dragon, and the 1st Lawrence Olivier movie was Clash of the Titans. My childhood was crapfest-a-rama. (The Incredible Shrinking Woman, anyone?)

But I hope you enjoy it on Broadway.

Pete's Dragon will always be special to me. I love that ****ing bill of sale scene SO much!

It got great reviews on Broadway!

Fair enough, & granted, I doubt I was the target demographic, given that I'm not a big fan of musicals, and like I said, I'm the poor little schmo who expected a deep plot about a Greek myth. :rolleyes: :shrug:
To this day I've never seen a show actually on Broadway. (Though I did see Les Miserables in Chicago, Fiddler in Houston, and Rent in Houston. And I was bored out of my mind in that last one, so take my taste with a grain of salt when it comes to all this.)

Trilogy Of Terror??:lol:

is that it? I'm being serious.

Crap? No, it can't be. Lily is in it!

Concepción - how quickly the limelight changed the good latina to the dark side!!!!

ONJ was FUKCING FIERCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also (my fav) from that show:

the one with the little voo-doo doll???

Pure Bliss - Suddenly!

You have to believe we are...MAGIC!:D

I love Olivia but have to admit the movie was boring. Though I would see it again on tv, no doubt.
Hope the Broadway show is more cool . The soundtrack is very very good

The B'Way show is more of a parody. It has new songs and features other ONJ songs like "Have you Never Been Mellow":laugh:

What's Pete's Dragon?:shrug:
