When it's this bad... It's bad: Superman the Musical


I saw this over at Geeks Out and I had to share this with y'all. There was a Superman musical in the 70s called, "It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman". I never heard of it, but judging from this clip, many folks probably didn't either. Still, check it out

The Craziest Movie EVER: The Apple



I like weird movies and I like campy movies (NOT Stupid Camp like Burlesque and Moulin Rouge), but fun camp Xanadu.

Anywho, my partner told me about The Apple and how it was just horrid. So I googled it and found the plot. So check it out:

Alphie (George Gilmour) and Bibi (Catherine Mary Stewart), two youths from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in Canada, travel to America to take part in the 1994 Worldvision Song Festival. Despite being the most talented performers, they are beaten by BIM (Boogalow International Music) and its leader, Mr. Boogalow (Vladek Sheybal), who use underhanded tactics to secure a victory. The duo are approached by Mr. Boogalow to sign to his music label, but soon discover the darker side of the music industry. Bibi is caught up in the wild lifestyle BIM offers, while Alphie risks his life to free her from the company's evil clutches. He eventually convinces her to run away with him and the pair live as hippies for several years (and produce a child) before being tracked down by Mr. Boogalow who insists he owns Bibi's soul. However, the two are saved by the Rapture, and all good souls are taken away by Mr. Topps (aka God).
Okay, a little creative, weird and out there. But then I watched the musical numbers. I can't tell you about them, I rather show them to you

The Apple - the vampire at :57 kills it


The Show Business


Speed - I actually like this one


Coming for you - Lord...


I am so tempted to see this crazy ass movie! I will probably die laughing.

Great Hera! They have made Bring It On... The Musical


 Creativity is on life support for realz.
About 2 years ago, there was talk of a 'Bring It On' musical, but I thought, "Who would do that?".

Well, somebody is doing it...
Celebrate the world premiere of a new musical created by a Tony Award®-winning team of Broadway's brightest young creators.


Two squads. Two schools. One mission: claim the title at the National Cheerleading Championships. The high-stakes world of competitive cheerleading meets the cutthroat rivalries of high school politics and romance in this bold and explosive new musical comedy. How do you learn to be true to your team and to yourself? Sometimes it's got to get ugly before it gets pretty. Game on.


The team behind this world premiere is an extraordinarily rare union of Broadway's most acclaimed, award-winning young creators. With an original book by Tony Award® winner Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q), music and lyrics by Tony Award®-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights), music by Pulitzer and Tony Award®-winning composer Tom Kitt (Next to Normal) and lyrics by Broadway lyricist Amanda Green (High Fidelity), this wholly original new musical is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Andy Blankenbuehler (In the Heights).

Wow, that's all I can say for now.

My Top 5 80s Musical Movies

Let's face it, the 80s had the best musical movies. Some were good, some were bad and some were deliciously bad (my favorite kind).

These movies were something to me because they ravaged my little neophyte gay mind. Regardless of how silly and campy they were, these movies still hold a special place in my heart.

So here are my top 5 80s musical movies.

Popeye


The Pirate Movie- oh Christopher Atkins


A Chorus Line


Xanadu


Best Little Whorehouse in Texas - my favorite scene (NSFW)
