Random Flick Blogging, #1205: Happy Birthday to jules!

Hey! Look! A post!

I'm going to be busy and pretty much on hiatus for a while yet, but I wanted to kick this thing back to life long enough to wish jules a very happy birthday and to suggest some fine entertainments for the occasion.

What could be more fun on your birthday than Open Mic Night—OF THE DAMNED? "I saw the b... beast...best minds of my g... gener...generation destroyed by m... madness, striving... starving hys... hystorical.... hysterical naked...."
If you liked Koyaanisqatsi the film, you're gonna love Koyaanisqatsi the video game. "Oh, crap—what's the 'Balance' command?" "Control-Alt-F6! Control-Alt-F6!"
Karlheinz Stockhausen followed his radical Helicopter Quartet, in which the musicians play from within separate hovering helicopters, with a much more poppish updating of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! This is from the great Act II set piece, "The Learjet and the Gulfstream Should Be Friends."
Thanks to Harry Breuer, what the trumpet is to heroism and the drumroll is to suspense, the xylophone is to autoerotic asphyxiation.
If you go out, just make sure to vet your babysitter more carefully than the Republicans vetted Sarah Palin. Otherwise...*slurrrp*

Happy birthday, jules—and many more. --nash

THANKS, NASH!
