Here's to the beauty of only, like, the best musical ever..

*Xanadu
I love Xanadu. The music! the roller skating! I love Olivia Newton-John. When I was a little girl, she was just my favorite. I admit, I have her Best Of CD in my car right now.

I pump Xanadu & sing along all merrily! It's just the best. I also sing along to Physical & think, "I loved this song as a little girl and really had no idea what it meant at the time." Here's to innocent youth!

Okay. I was not going to fess up to this one, but I love the so bad it's so good Xanadu. Disco roller skating, Gene Kelly and some venerable old LA that is no longer there. You do know that it is about to premiere on Broadway, as a new musical, don't you?

XANADU - I even had the issue of 17 magazine that showed you how to do all of the various Olivia Newton-John hairdos from the movie.

Aww! I ♥ you Capt. Jack!!

Snowflake~ This just gets better & better, because as soon as you mentioned that you, too, are a Xanadu fan (or rather, "fanadu"), and then mentioned the musical, I was able to finally have good reason to share another guilty pleasure with y'all..

Make sure your volume is cranked way up, because it's time for the Xanadu On Broadway Official Website..

http://xanaduonbroadway.com/index2.html

How flashy & mesmerizing is the Intro? From the winged neon roller skates, to the Xanadu On Broadway- Seriously caption!

A place where nobody dared to go, the love that we came to know
they call it Xanadu....

Edited to add: Becasue I'm unable to mojo you, Katiesue, this soon, I have to give you visible mojo!

My favorite hairdo is in the final scene, when Kira is singing at the roller disco, with the most spectacular feathered blonde hair!

I can watch that disc again & again & again..

That's actually the part they're about to get to on FX. Plays every morning at 7AM. You may be out earlier than that... in which case there's Angel that plays at 6AM and 7AM on... TNT? I'm not sure... Let's say it's caused me to run late to school - and I've seen them all before!!! WTF!?

Okay, I did not see the series when it originally aired, but thanks to Netflix, Buffy does kick butt. I've seen some episodes ogf Angel, too, courtesy of a friend who is completely buffy-ed. Quite a lot of fun.

I'm usually rather open about my "guilty pleasures", which I suppose makes them less guilty. But, things others might consider weaknesses: I love Spaghettios. But only with meatballs. And both orange and plain Hostess cupcakes. And microwave popcorn - super buttery flavor. And movies involving satan and girls' schools. Or "I had sex with this really hot guy and now I'm pregnant with the antichrist".

Oh, and my guilty pleasure musical? Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

AllyOops! · 08-10-2007, 12:52 PM

Aww! I have to be at work by 7:30!!

I won't get a chance to see Buffy or Angel in the morn! However, I totally relate, Erica! I used to watch Buffy on FX years ago, when working for another company, and I would often be rushing out the door late, because I just had to see certain scenes on Buffy or see the outcome of the episode (even though I've seen them before or have those epicodes on DVD!) What is up with that??

Another guilty pleasure...

*The Lifetime Movie Network Channel

Imagine a channel dedicated to every movie-of-the-week you've ever seen, starring every starlet in peril you can imagine, and you have LMN.

It's ADDICTING. My Grandma and I have dedicated whole, lazy weekend days to tuning in. Of course, I won't tune in for all of them, but you can bet it's a sure viewing thing for me if Tori Spelling is starring (especially Co-ed call Girl)! The best ones always star the entire female cast of Beverly Hills, 90210, Kellie Martin, every Charlie's Angel, Joanna Kerns, Tracey Gold, Cassidy Rae, and many other awesome actresses who have all served time in movies-of-the-week!

One of my favorites that I've seen a dozen times was just on a few weekends ago: Cassidy Rae stars as a popular High School cheerleader who falls head over heels for an older attorney. Once she finds out he's married, she tries to break it off. Naturally, he convinces her to stay because, you know, he's "going to leave his wife just for her".

She believes him, and soon finds herself the victim of a vicious stalker who, you know, tries to run her off of the road and trap her in the girl's locker room sauna so she'll be steamed to death. We all believe it's his wife until, drumroll..

We find out the wife is totally aware of her husband's infidelity but still thinks he's a prize worth keeping, and..the actual stalker is her best friend & fellow cheerleader's older sister, who was dumped by him once she was no longer an underage highschool student on the squad. The film ends with the scumbag attorney attending cheerleading tryouts, scoutin' for a new recruit to take to bed. ACK. SICK. GRODY.And the best two hours EVER.
