I’ll take _The Music Man_. I was thinking of taking _Guys and Dolls_, but then I remembered I’m going to be busy the end of March, and if that project runs long I might not be able to do a proper job of it. ---

Dang, I wanted _Cabaret_. Oh well, I’ll settle for _All That Jazz_. ETA: Dang Dang, I didn’t see Cabin in the Sky. I’d much rather do that, unless I can do both. ---

“Both” works for me! (I’d’ve been happy to pick up _All That Jazz_, which is one of my favorite movies evah!, but think you’ll do a much better job of writing the OP than I would.) 2/15: _Cabin in the Sky_ (1943) – **lissener** 3/1: _The Pirate_ (1948) – **NAF1138** 3/15: _It’s Always Fair Weather_ (1955) – **twickster** 4/1: _Guys and Dolls_ (1955) – **amarinth** 4/15: _The Music Man_ (1962) – **LurkMeister** 5/1: _Cabaret_ (1972) – **Sampiro** 5/15: _All That Jazz_ (1979) – **lissener** 6/1: _Shall We Dance?_ (1995 Japanese original) – **Eureka** 6/15: _Hedwig and the Angry Inch_ (2001) – **NAF1138** And with that, ladies and gentlemen, we have a full slate of movies and OPs. Music, maestro, please! ---

I hate it when I buy a DVD and then later they come out with a “Special Edition” which has a bunch of interesting extras on it. ---

Reminder that the next film up is _The Pirate_, with Gene Kelly and Judy Garland (which I just watched a couple of months ago, I’m trying to decide if I need to see it again … it’s not one of my favorites). (It does have the Nicholas Brothers, though, which is never a bad thing.) **NAF1138** will be writing an OP on or about March 1st for this. ---

Next up is _Guys and Dolls_ (Marlon Brando at his peak of lusciousness **blissful sigh** ) with **amarinth** writing an OP on or about April 1st. BTW, watched _Hairspray_ last night – more fun than I expected, frankly. Such bright colors! So much dancing! ---
