No one ever talks about the fact that it's a musical.  What's up with that?

It sure has some distinctive music in it and I'm looking for collaborators for a 2012 reboot of the soundtrack..ch-ching!

Ted Leo should be at the top of the list.

Well I recall Britt Eklund's galumphing dance of seduction.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not (plain text is bad for conveying tone) but I definitely think a movie made in 1973 is long past the statute of limitations barring spoilers.

Sure, Ted Leo would be great to do it, I'm not sure if he'd want to do it with Autoharp and ol' timey banging drums though?

And yet he was surprised by the ending, 38 years later, while I never will be.

But that's not on him. If you want to be that precious about the ending of a 38 year old movie, perhaps it's up to you to police the information you read? Even though his post didn't indicate he would reveal the ending, a discussion of the movie always has the potential to do that very thing.

I really hope that when they do a broadway adaptation of this, David Lee Roth plays Christopher Lee's character.
If you're not a job creator, you better step the fuck away from that hot dog machine.

Obviously that's the dream get, but maybe just a projected CGI Chris Lee voiced by D.L.R as he might be too busy to commit to whole run of the show.

oh, jesus...just knock it off.

policing a conversation is a lot more predictable than the next word i'm going to read.  surely that's understood?
