Bob Fosse stands out as the new choreographer with longtime partner Gwen Vernon and cockthrob Tab Hunter in a drunken hepcat number Two Lost Souls.

Dune (1984)

I never read the books and have no intention of it, but with any film based on a novel, it either stands on its own or bores you with reverence to the original work. Oddly enough, Dune does both: in the incomprehensible theatrical release directed by David Lynch, and an extended remix intended to sort out Lynch’s mess directed by Alan Smithee (an industry pseudonym used by Lynch to protest tampering with the film). Either way, Dune was six years in the making and plucked Lynch from #1 cult director status to total sellout cocksucking whorebag.

Design for Dreaming (1956)

A woman dreams she gets an invitation from a mysterious man (dressed like Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon) to attend MOTORAMA, General Motors’ traveling roadshow of all things modern. Future cars with rocket styling. Future kitchens with a dome oven and rotating refridgerator. Architecture straight out of The Jetsons. Did I mention this is a musical? After sitting in the show cars she dances a latin solo on a futuristic stage, then Tuxedo Mask returns to whisk her into tomorrow in his gold rocket car, the 1956 Firebird designed by Harley Earl! Scenes of a future metropolis are glimpsed as they reach the end of the runway…. * Sigh.* A perfect film.

Design for Dreaming is a must-see and a free download from the Prellinger Archive.
