Okay, repeating a song from the start to give us a full performance of it, fine, but you're on thin fucking ice, "The Broadway Melody of 1936" (1935).

You know, Kurt has a point, a lotta these are obscure to begin with, but this one is so far removed from the public consciousness that I might as well be making it up.
Good tracking shot in this office scene, the snoring expert cracks me up, terrific alien invasion scene, I didn't think you could do this under the Hays Code, wow, look at that dancing.

@kurt Hollywood, Broadway, it's lies all the way down!
@kurt Yeah, this is one of those where the only reason you'll ever watch it is if you're doing the Best Picture thing. Weird to think I'll never meet another person who's seen this.

* It's not a direct sequel, it's the same idea of, it's a musical about people who make music, just a few years later.
* There's two more but they got nominated for jack squat.
#106, 1935 Best Picture nominee "The Broadway Melody of 1936" which for fuck's sake better not do the thing the 1929 one did with just having the one song over and over.

@kurt Mobile Suit Gundam: Election Day Polka isn't even the weirdest one.

@LilFluff The Other Side are willing to compromise on how frequently it ignites, but it's key to them that the dumpster does occasionally spontaneously light aflame.

I have a voucher for a free vehicle MOT at a Halfords auto centre to be redeemed before the end of May. Itโs of no use to myself or anyone else that I know and it would be a shame to waste it.
The first person to send me a DIRECT/PRIVATE reply will get the voucher and Iโll update this thread publicly to confirm itโs been taken.
Thanks!

@ak Mail-in voting is only available to expats and the over-70s here. (We did have two extra days to do it this year, but still.)

@ak Before last month I'd only ever voted in the community centre in my home town -- nice old people who take their job very seriously -- and this year it was in a party tent in a parking lot -- bored young people who know damn well what the rules are -- so it's always been a pleasant experience.
(I do always vote as early in the morning as I can, which helps.)
