Tommy in Quintophonic Sound!
 

In other film-related events, here's a cool screening I can afford.

Still not sold out. $5 a ticket. The link.

Hmm. This was my Dad's favorite movie. I've only ever seen it on TV. (we had to swear not to tell Mom he let us watch it). I need to check the calendar.

I still credit/blame the Acid Queen for my total aversion to recreational drugs (and most prescriptions ones just for good measure).

Dad made my sister leave the room for that part so she wouldn't get freaked out.

I haven't seen it in perhaps 30 years, but I recall it as being one of the worst movies ever made (from one of the greatest sources ever created). It's not without its gaudy charms. But the performances are mostly terrible, and the covers by-and-largely inferior to the original music. The visuals are seventies spectacular, though. Ken Russell, baby!

(Kinda reminds me of Alan Parker's The Wall - inferior musically, not a terribly good film, interesting visuals. Methinks making films of rock operas is a fool's errand.)


BUT - the price is right, and maybe the film has mellowed or kitched well with age.

I'm in. :)

Madz and I are in - well she doesn't know it yet.

That sounds like fun.

I remember almost nothing of this except Ann Margaret and baked beans

This sounds like fun, but I work until 6 and there is no way I could ever get there in time. :(

Is it possible to get the Quintophonic sound without having to see the movie?
