Hm... made some new icons when I was bored last night... played around with various clips of Buffy & Spike from the screencaps I just learned how to make from .avi clips.

Just found a nice download of "All That Jazz" by Liza Minelli... a song I've been thinking I'd like to hear again after watching Chicago-- which was fantastic, btw. The movie version was nicely sung by Katherine Zeta Jones, but I went went for Liza Minelli, because I've always liked her. anyone like Cabaret? I watched that movie when I was fourteen, and loved it. The music was fantastic. And I know some people knew this already-- but the MC in the club in Cabaret was the same actor who years later played the lizardy Doc on Buffy.

Weirdly, Cabaret was one of the first movies I ever saw with a very adult, non-stereotypical portrayal of a three-way relationship where part (of course, being three-way) was a homosexual one. I loved the line where Liza's character in a fight goes "Oh yeah, well I'm cheating with [so-and-so]!", and her semi-boyfriend kind of smiles and says "So am I." :cackle: It was classic.

Hm.... I wonder if I've talked about Cabaret in LJ before? I really can't remember, but I don't think so. Anyway, that was a good musical. Great film about messed up people in complicated relationships, and a great film about how war changes the world & society you live in.

Yes, Cabaret is wonderful! I watch it whenever they re-run it on Bravo, and sit in front of the TV and sing along. Liza Minnelli is fabulous in that movie, but Joel Grey's emcee really steals the show, even though he's not in it as much as some of the other characters.

And have you ever heard the Bebe Neuwirth version of "All That Jazz"? It's fantastic. We used that one in a dance show a couple years ago, it was such a fun number to do.
