Flashback: Xanadu

The early '80s were a magical, innocent time - a time when a movie about Greek muses coming down to earth to help mortals build a roller skating rink was not billed as a comedy. And who doesn't love Olivia Newton-John or Electric Light Orchestra? The costumes (and music) from this film make me want to watch it again.

Flashback: Crispin Glover in The Beaver Trilogy

I remember catching this on cable one late night (it's not on DVD) and feeling like I'd fallen into another dimension. Directed by Trent Harris, The Beaver Trilogy is supposed to be a documentary, but let's just say it's loosely a documentary. It's about oddballs Trent met while on his travels, as well as Sean Penn and Crispin Glover acting like those oddballs. It just gives me a headache thinking about it, but this clip of Crispin as an obsessed Olivia Newton-John impersonator (that's right - he's impersonating an impersonator) singing "Please Don't Keep Me Waiting" is like the best of David Lynch. Spooky.

Flashback: Kids Incorporated Singing "Physical"

Who thought it was a good idea to have the words of a sleazy woman come out of the mouth of a leering pre-pubescent with a bad perm and purple clothes? Why, the producers of Kids, Incorporated. In this clip, we see children dancing to a song by Olivia Newton-John about some woman who takes her date out to dinner and a movie and then proceeds to tell him what she really wants: "There's nothing left to talk about/Unless it's horizontally." At least they had the common sense to leave that line out...

(Thanks, This Just In!)
