Posted: 12/18/05 at 10:35amMy favorite guilty pleasure is the movie version of MAME. It's my favorite bad film version of a Broadway musical. I love Bea Arthur as Vera. And Audrey Christie and Don Porter are a hoot as the Upsons. Lucy sounds like a fog horn but I still like her. However the movie is pretty much a mess. Angela Lansbury really should have recreated the role she was so flawless in.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 12/18/05 at 11:57pmI love the film "Mame" too - we call it the "Lucy's Vaseline Screen Version", LOL! Bea and Jane Connell are great and - by the way, someone once asked Angela why she didn't star in the film and she said "I was never asked". (MY favorite "Mame" is STILL Ann Miller! When she whipped into tapping in "That's how young I feel" the house went ape-****!

Posted: 12/19/05 at 1:40pmYou saw Ann Miller, jimmirae? I've always heard she brought a special "spark" to the role. Did you see Celeste Holms?

Flahooley- closer to heaven is a predesecor to Taboo, it has music and lyrics by... The Pet Shop Boys! it's about the club scene, and gay and straight people, and it's like the fetus form of Taboo. oh, it was dreadful (my parents took me cuze they didn't know anything about it... imagine their surprise!) i just recently bought the cd and am reliving it's brilliant campiness. for what it is the music is actually not bad, though sometimes throbbingly annoying!
I LOVE IT!
