I’ll look for TwoTrouts’ post Jan 31st on Little Shop of Horrors. That’s not the one with Jack Nicholson, right? That was a short film? This is the one with Rick Moranis? I rented State Fair & then waited, what felt like forever, for the discussion to start. Then I missed it. :smack: ---

This is the musical remake of the (full-length) 1960 Roger Corman film with a very young Jack Nicholson. > [@](#): > > I rented State Fair & then waited, what felt like forever, for the discussion to start. Then I missed it. :smack: Sorry you missed the **State Fair** thread – feel free to bump it if you’ve got anything to add. I still feel like **Nashville** got short shrift, also, if anyone wants to revisit that film. ---

I still feel like **Nashville** got short shrift, also, if anyone wants to revisit that film. Yes, I feel the **State Fair** thread to be sheer genius. Bow down to the high mind that wrote it. fnord ---

[Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=299914) is **TwoTrout** ’s _Little Shop of Horrors_ thread. I’ll link but not read, since I haven’t watched it yet. :o (Neither of the two closest library branches had it, nor did my usual video store – I’ve got a copy on hold at the my default store and will swing by there on my way home, and watch it this evening.) **DeVena** , if you’re still around, it’s your turn to pick. If not, **Draelin, Lamia** , hold yourselves in readiness… ---

Ok, I’m here, after many moons of limited computer time. I’ll happily pick… um, let me think about it overnight, and I’ll come up with it for tomorrow, if that’s ok. ---

It may not be my turn yet, but I hereby nominate _Guys and Dolls_, which was the first musical I can ever recall seeing. Or anything by Cole Porter. 🙂 ---

Nice choice, **Draelin** – saw it a couple of weeks ago and liked it a lot more than I remembered. It’s not your turn to pick, though – **Eonwe** promised a pick today sometime. Keep an eye on this thread. ---

**Eonwe** – are you ready to pick, or shall we go with _Guys and Dolls_ and let you pick the next one? ---

**Eonwe** – you snooze, you lose. _Guys and Dolls_ it is, with **Draelin** writing an OP on February 25th. If you’d like to pick, you can do the movie after that. twicks, stern taskmistress of the Musicals thread ---

**Eonwe, TwoTrouts, DeVena** – if someone would like to pick the next film… In the meantime, the [Guys and Dolls](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=304245) discussion is underway. ---

Interesting choice! Michael Crawford before he was, ya know, _Michael Crawford_. Sounds good to me – we’ll look for an OP on March 21st. **Eonwe, TwoTrouts** – whichever of you is ready to jump in then with a pick, we’ll go with. I’m trying to go in order, but it’s like herding kittens with you guys! ---

But an imperfect one – I just realized I was offering **TwoTrouts** another pick, even though he went for the very popular _Little Shop of Horrors_. (Nope, he didn’t offer a bribe when we met on the Baltimore museum trip – but us Gauchos gotta stick together…) Okay – **Eonwe** – we’ll be looking for your pick on March 21st – don’t make me come after you! ---
